who arrested heather in the act of spending more of chris' money. but somehow, heather slipped off the hook. though laurie pressed charges and pushed hard for a prosecution, nobody followed through and laurie eventually gave up, lives with the guilt now. i think it was a month or so after she gave it up, that's when she came to dc and she had met kate. and i always feel if i could have hung on one more month, i could have helped them get her. keith morrison (voiceover): now as he prepared to defend ethan, david aylor was feeling muchet his client chief accur, iappeared, was a practiced con artist. would any jury believe her? ethan might be naive, said aylor, but his story-- after all-- had never changed. david aylor: they had gone out to dinner-- he, kate, and heather-- and then after they went out to dinner, he dropped kate back off at her parents' home here in downtown charleston and spoke with her a couple of times via text message that night.
