doing. watched a lot of officers and cadaver dogs. ton of folks, whole shebang. reporter: cops had brought heather to lead them to kate waring s body. as a couple of detectives i knew left, i asked them any luck? and they said no and continued driving on. reporter: police called off the search, drove heather back to jail. had she intentionally given them bad information? perhaps nobody would find kate, not the police, not the a-team. and then we got a terrific break by the criminal justice system. mack and kamp both came to the bond hearing and it s done by video. at the bond hearing, mack shows up with this family who were all there to support him, and not only a public defender, but the chief public defender. reporter: wow. yeah. kamp has no one. she has no family, she has no friends, she has no support to speak on her behalf.
with katherine, had been for several years. in fact, ethan told detective osborne he was very likely the last friend to see her before she disappeared. he said that he had saw her friday night, had dinner, had drinks, came back, dropped kate off back at her house. did he say what time? yeah. i think the time would have been probably around 11:30, 11:45 at that time. the detective checked, of course, and found text messages that confirmed what ethan told him. he even went to the house ethan shared with his mom. and they both let me in. and they both allowed me to search it. the mother and ethan both told me this is his room, this is where he stays. but to say that the instant suspicion on the part of the warings and the police was upsetting to ethan was probably an understatement. good evening, mr. waring and mrs. waring. this is ethan mack calling this is the voicemail he left for the warings after that policeman poked around his place as if he was some murder suspe
chain, the one she had gotten in moscow, ethan he, said heather, took it from kate s purse as a memento. she was telling them the truth. so they decided next morning first light armed with the google map and more detail from heather, the team would return to wadmalaw island. now all we were believing was coming to fruition, all of the suspicion about her activity and mack s activity, at that point we knew we had the right people. reporter: one thing, they d be going without the police. good idea? maybe not. coming up the a-team under arrest? reporter: you mean you were arrested? we were not free and they made that clear. this was a twist even they didn t see coming when strangers on a train continues. continues. i just got my cashback match,
had she as the one text suggested left town looking for drugs or lovely? if that s what lovely meant? for the moment, it was a dead end. and then then he called. eugene frazier, legendary 34-year homicide detective now retired. i believe that if a man commits a crime, he should be prepared to do the time. thing is about gene frazier, over here on charleston s james island where his ancestors go back to slave days, gene gets tips. all kinds of tips. and one day a church friend told gene he d heard the police had been to ethan mack s house. and something strange about that. said, listen, i don t think this is right, he says. ethan mack is living in an apartment that i have rented out to his father. but the police didn t search this place where ethan actually lived, said the landlord. they searched his mother s house
i felt that in my heart something was wrong. and i was i was concerned. then there was jason locke, a young lawyer with whom she often shared lunch and a spirited debate. she was strong-willed. she was very energetic. she was rarely, rarely incorrect. that s a her best friend, as she made clear to all the others, was ethan mack. she really liked ethan. she really trusted him. this is my best friend, jason. she put a lot of trust in him. she s a lovable person, full of energy, always rambunctious. ethan worked in a local hotel. a very different background than kate. but he d been her best buddy for years and in a way her protector. everybody in ethan s neighborhood knew you didn t mess with kate when ethan was around. they loved each other like well, siblings. i made sure no harm would come to her when certain little boyfriends would act like they
