you sure about that? absolutely. yeah. the exterminator and i went inside and closed the door behind us. just searched the apartment. and in one of the backpacks, in ethan mack s backpack, was some chinese money. chinese currency. chinese money? yes. just like the chinese bills james saw in kate s bedroom. janice waring had brought the bills to kate from hong kong, souvenirs. had ethan stolen them? time to stir things up. apply some pressure. bobby minter knew just how. bobby put on every telephone pole, every vacant house, every oak tree, every stop sign, wanted: information, missing person, kate waring s poster. where the people hung out. wherever they went, including on mack s windshield when he was working that day. we put posters to send a psychological message to them. but no response. at which point john rivers said
the connection between ethan and heather, and kate s disappearance, without police help. we ll always sort of remain stealth, as much as possible. [music playing] keith morrison: time to keep a careful, quiet eye on ethan mack and heather kamp. so gene frazier persuaded his church friend ethan s landlord to allow surveillance specialist, bobby minter, to tuck a hidden camera into a corner of his kitchen window. a camera trained right at ethan s front door. it was motion detected, just like that light that they ve got over the door is. so when they drove in, it would light up. and it would light up for our camera. and that s enough illumination to illuminate to see what they would be carrying. and that would lead us to know that they had something to do with kate s disappearance. keith morrison: and when ethan and heather left the apartment, bobby had that covered, too. he had already tracked ethan to his job at a local hotel and attached a gps locator on his car, as it sat in the par
someone on the team needed to get a look inside that apartment. if kate had been there, there still might be evidence of something. but how to get in? well, the landlord has a right to inspect a tenants home yeah? for health, and safety, and welfare. and the landlord decided that he needed to go in and spray for bugs. you can understand why that might be done in that little place. and james thought it would be best that if he went with him to make sure that the bugs were all taken care of. keith morrison: surveillance expert bobby minter s gps device showed ethan s car was out somewhere. well, when we opened the door to go inside, ethan mack is sitting on the couch smoking a joint. oh, for god s sake. and i m like, oh, hell. i m like, hey, we re with the extermination company. we re going to be using some dangerous chemicals, so you ll have to step out on the outside while we get this done.
heather was nice. in fact, kate said she had introduced heather to her friend ethan, and, very quickly, a romance had blossomed. they were even talking marriage. really? if janice waring was suspicious about heather back then, the a-team was doubly so now. and sure enough, a few keystrokes on the internet told bobby minter that mother s intuition was right. i saw where she had been arrested for forgery in indiana. but she d been arrested in other stage, too. essentially, if you just googled her name, i suppose you could find out a fair amount. that s how i found her. she d been impersonating a doctor. i just googled her. keith morrison: and ethan wouldn t be her first husband. she d been married before, and had four children. now that they knew about heather, a few fuzzy details were suddenly clearer. for one thing, the bill for kate s last dinner with ethan made more sense, because there were three meals on that dinner bill. the other diner was heather kamp. and more important, that c
that last part, keeping the police in the loop, should be easy, figured andy, given the team he assembled. a band of retired policeman turned private eyes, each with a particular talent. i m bobby minter. keith morrison: bobby minter human bloodhound. tracking people without them knowing it, his specialty. my name is bill capps keith morrison: bill capps techno geek. tracks bad guys through cyberspace, happens to be a crack shot. my name is james randolph. keith morrison: james randolph ex police department rebel. strategy, his specialty. shaking things up, a particular skill. we re the cream of the crop. and our job was to find kate waring. not finding kate, was not an option. keith morrison: experience told james the best place to start was with kate herself. if we listen to kate, she ll tell us where she is. keith morrison: james went to the house on the battery. up the stairs. down the hall. and into kate s bedroom.
