feet from this path. incredibly detailed. just the sort of place to leave the body. but just like the police, the team found nothing. i was very disturbed. why are we not finding her? because we were convinced that she was here. they searched until darkness finally forced them out and then they called andy savage who was out of town on business. they were on a cellphone from where they are on a hotel in bost boston, the address. and i m looking at the satellite imagery of where they are. i said well, james is there is a dock off to your left. so i was receipt well able to identify where they were. i said just print that off. isn t that amazing you can do that from thousands of miles away? you can also do it from the police station. the google map showed the a team how and where they lost the
money man, john rivers, decided he d pay ethan s rent. secretly, of course. and it was a plan which after a little brainstorming offered a bonus, a built-in opportunity. here s how. the a-team wanted to know if heather or ethan forged kate s $4500 check, but they needed original handwriting samples. we determined what was on the check that we needed comparison samples to. and we had numbers, obviously, on the check. then the a-team helped ethan s landlord prepare ious that contained the numbers and letters. when ethan and heather signed the document, they provided the sample that could prove they forged kate s check. the team took the handwriting to mickey dawson, who set up the police handwriting lab. the question was simple did heather and/or ethan forge that check from kate, the one ethan tried to cash? immediately that day our handwriting document examiner said, that s them. no question about it. so if ethan and heather forged a check from kate, what else did they do? s
that. but now almost two months later, kate was still missing. and the investigation such as it was had accomplished nothing. and john rivers couldn t stand what it was doing to his best friend, tom waring. i could see that he really was having a hard time functioning. so rivers picked up the phone again and told this man, do what it takes. his name is andy savage, former prosecutor, now famously tenacious criminal defense attorney. savage had heard about kate, too, and how police had no evidence of any crime. really? as soon as we scratched the surface just a little bit, we were absolutely convinced that foul play was involved. savage was given just two mandates find kate waring, tell police everything you find. that last part, keeping the police in the loop, should be easy, figured andy, given the team he assembled.
attached a gps locator on his car as it sat in the parking lot. now there was no minute of the day when the team didn t know where ethan and heather were and what they were doing. and almost immediately, they got a surprise. when ethan was at work, heather sneaked over to visit the man living next door. rode around town with him. they were going to the bank a lot. and i called one of the investigators of wachovia. as a result of that, they found that they were kiting checks. they were actually stealing money from the bank. despite what bobby told the bank, it never resulted in charges against anybody. but that wasn t all he discovered. the gps tracker on ethan s car led bobby to a couple of local pawnshops. pawning jewelry. the jewelry was a red flag to us. was it kate s jewelry? they couldn t be sure yet without more surveillance, that is. and then the landlord called gene again, another tip. this one bad. ethan and heather weren t paying rent.
condition. we know you re back on your rent. we know look at that bag of money. this could be all yours. now to close the sale with terry williams, they try to bluff. tell us what happened to kate and where we can find her. we know mack and kamp killed her. and this money could be yours. and at that point, that s when the side the bedroom door busts open, and there s a lot of yelling and screaming. to their other surprise, there came heather kamp. angrily and quickly pulling her clothes back together. didn t appear to be a business meeting the team interrupted. the detectives told her who they were and who they worked for. and then heather kamp gets on the cell phone and makes a call to ethan mack. and says, ethan, investigators are here trying to get terry williams to roll on us. and when she said that, the three of us looked at one another and police terms, we knew that was definitely the case. we knew, hey, they had done it. yes, decades of investigating made it pe
