True fear, i could really see it. Hey, you all, come here. I think i found her. It began on a bright morning in may seven years ago. The palmetto slipped from its platform at washingtons Union Station and eased out into an eighthour run down the eastern seaboard to charleston, south carolina. On board was a beautiful, tall and feisty redhead named kate waring, a daughter of the family. An often troubled young woman who was sitting on this train was finally on the brink of something very good. And what is it about trains . The ease there in that enclosed space of befriending perfect strangers. Somewhere along the line between a greeting and goodbye, kate warings invisible fate jumped its track. Force descending, she disembarked to a future utterly changed. Charleston, south carolina. It almost goes without saying, a showpiece of American History and southern manners. Its charm is deeply embedded as the families who count seven, eight, ten generations here. Kate waring was born to one of those families. Grew up in a fine, big house along the historic waterfront called the battery. Dad, if we catch a turtle, can we keep it . Doting parents, janice and tom, who adored their own daughter. She had you essentially wrapped around her finger. Oh, absolutely. She was the love of my life. And not stupidly so. I mean, i could not always tell when i was being manipulated, but some of the time. Sure. No, katie and i had a very special bond always. She was the middle child. Sandwiched between two brother, older joe, younger richard. She was bright. Maybe too bright. School bored her, animals, all animals, enchanted her. She was naive, sweet, as younger brother richard saw it, she could not turn away a stray animal or human. She was a very, very kind would dismiss someone who wasnt generally accepted by most, she would kind of try to help those people out. But somewhere in the course of an enchanted childhood, something happened to kate. Outsiders saw a fearless tomboy morph into a sophisticated debutante. But at home, kate struggled often in secret with eating disorders, depression. College was a frequently interrupted disaster. She sort of ran toward risk. I noticed that in a lot of things that she did. She seemed to court it. Her parents discovered she had been sexually abused when little by someone they knew. Years of therapy followed. Still she drank to excess, lost her drivers license, abused drugs, sobered up, she fell off the wagon. She came home to live with her parents. Tried and failed at dozens of strategies to achieve the straight and narrow. Waring offered kate a trip with him anywhere she wanted to go. Anywhere on the planet. To see polar bears. It must have an amazing trip. It was the trip of a lifetime. Im so happy we shared that together. The photographs show how happy she was there. She saw young men who were with their families about her age who were happy, and she said to me, dad, i dont have to settle for what ive settled for, do i . And i said, no, honey, you dont. You can basically write your own script. And it was a bit of magic. The change seemed almost instant. Kate reborn. On board the ship was a russian crewman who was amazed how quickly kate picked up his language which is why months after that trip, the newly inspired kate traveled to moscow the city, the culture, and to test drive both the budding relationship and her fledgling russian skills. The snapshots of kate in moscow were far more than souvenirs. They were portraits of a young woman transformed. The kate who stood here on red square had a new passion in life. The depressions of the failures of the past had fallen away. She was consumed by all things russian. In fact, she was making plans even here to return to russia in the summer to take up russian studies. Finally her life was taking off. And thats why kate waring was in washington that fine may morning. She was on her way back to russia. But there was a problem with the visa. A paperwork mixup sort of thing that would have sent her into a tailspin once, but now, the new kate vowed to try again later. Boarded the palmetto for charleston and threw herself Childrens Book shed been writing. Big brother joe was, to say the least, encouraged. She when i talked to her was the happiest i can remember hearing her in the last ten years. She sounded good. She sounded as if she was ready, had a conviction about what she wanted to do. Then it was june. Heat rising in charlestons deepening green. On saturday morning, june 13, tom waring at his summer house outside the city, felt an absence. Cell phone hadnt rung. No call from kate. Kate who always called or texted her parents almost hourly. She always checked, in and it was unusual. He drove home to check her room here in the silent house on the tree. And all the lights were on, and it looked like obviously she never went anywhere without her medicine. And then on sunday, we came by the house also. No sign of her. Now there was dread. Was it possible that kate had slipped back into that old destructive life . We called the police station. We called the detention center. Wow. So this is by the end of the weekend . Nobody had a jane doe in the hospital. Nobody had been brought in. We called some of her friends. Nobody had heard from her. What to do . Kate was 28, and though she lived at home, she was an adult. Her decision bad or good were hers. They elected to give it one more day. If she wasnt back by monday, theyd call the police. Then when monday came, there was word. No, not from kate from kates bank. Once i got off the phone with the branch manager, i called the police. I was thinking something is wrong. Coming up something was wrong. But could they discover what . And would the police help . I thought im not going to put up with this. Weve got to get going. Weve got to get moving on this. You help give lifechanging vitamins to kids across the globe. Get vitamins here.

Kate waring had been missing for 48 hours when a surveillance camera captured a young man counter of a bank waiting to cash a check signed by kate waring. Problem was, her account barely told 100, and this check was for 4500 and the signature seemed off. The teller called kates dad. He called police. I never met ethan, didnt know ethans last name. All i knew was the name ethan who was a friend. Its too strong to say that she had a secret life, but she certainly had friends and did things that we didnt know of course she did. She was 28 years old. And even though she was financially and emotionally dependent on her parents, she had lots of friends. Some they knew, some they didnt. It was howard gatts, for example, a martial art trainer in the midst of a contentious divorce with whom kate had been carrying on something of a romance. 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 strongwilled. She was very energetic. She was rarely, rarely incorrect. Thats 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. Shes a lovable person, full of energy, always around. Ethan worked in a local a very different background than kate. But hed been her best buddy for years. And in a way, her protector. Everybody in ethans neighborhood knew you didnt 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 got hand problems. I would put them in their place it wasnt a romance at all then . Not at off. She was like a little sister to me. It was a token of his familys regard for kate that she was godmother to ethans nephew, malachi. On her moscow trip, kate bought herself and ethan matching brass bulldog keychains. And on that monday morning in june, said ethan, he was very worried about kate, just as he had been for years as he helped her battle her demons. Calm her down and talking to going on in the world of kate. But now he complained, here was kates dad sending police to talk to him about a check kate told him to cash. Ethan explained to the cop, david osborne, about the money hed given kate for jewelry and other expenses. And that the check was to pay him back. He was basically best friends 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 she 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 but to say that the instant suspicion the part of the warings and the police was upsetting to ethan was probably an understatement. This is ethan mack calling this is the voicemail he left for the warings after that policeman poked around his place pas if he was some murder suspect. I think you need really check that and go find out or go see what really happened and find the person who did something to her and stop harassing me. Cause the only thing i ever did was try to help her in a million ways. So dead end. The police moved past ethan, checked kates cell phone record, found shed made a call late that friday that pinged on a tower in a place called james island, several miles from her house. But phone pings can be funny that way sometimes, they told the warings. One towers busy, the next over picks it up. Probably made the call from home, they said. They also promised to keep but really kate was known to have gotten herself in and out of trouble a time or two, and Police Resources were limited. And well, tom waring got the cops message. We do not know for a fact that a crime has been committed here. After all, the warings were reminded, kate was a world traveler. Could well have picked up and gone back to russia. Might be aboard some tramp steamer even now. Or if something bad happened to her, could have been a drug overdose, even suicide. Impossible, thought kates parents. Even in her darkest times, shed never failed to call. If she spent the night out unexpectedly, wed get a call first thing the next morning because she knew that we would worry about where she was and was she safe. So the warings began picking apart that friday, the last day anyone saw kate, looking for something they may have missed. But it had been such a normal day. She had no drivers license, gatts to give her a list to her therapists office. Gave me a hug, said goodbye, thank you very much. She was in a real good mood. An hour and a half later, howard saw her again. This time at the gym. She said, is it okay i skip rope over here, howard . I said, sure, kate, thats fine. Mind you, there was an incident at the gym. Howards soontobe exwife came around, they had words. At 8 00 p. M. , a drugstore camera showed kate relaxed, buying wine and snacks while waiting on her prescription refills. Ethan paid for dinner. Chicken, salmon teriyaki. Like a japanese like kind of like cuisinetype thing. She didnt drive, so he took her home. Dropped her off before midnight. Something else something earlier that friday that bothered the warings at first was terrifying them now. The more they thought about it, just before she went to the drug store friday evening, she started telling her father about some problem. Saying that she felt like she perhaps had unintentionally got herself in trouble. And i said, well, why dont you tell me about that. And she wouldnt tell me any details. Was she clearly worried . She was concerned. Clearly worried. About something. Naturally they told the police about that. Nothing came of it. And as the air thickened into a steamy august, the weeks that passed brought no new leads. Just tourists clamoring for the cool shade of historic carriage rides. And kate waring, the urgency of finding her, began to fade. And that was driving me nuts. I thought, im not going to put up with this. We need to get going. Weve got to get moving on this. And in the hushed cool of his a new investigation begins. But its not the police who are behind it. Were the cream of the crop, and our job was to find kate waring. Not finding kate was not an option. Who are these guys . T c, who are these guys . T c, vo combine the right things. Sprinkle in the details. And something amazing happens for everyone. Thats our inspiration for fancy feast medleys. Entr\es like white meat chicken florentine and wild salmon primavera with garden veggies and greens. A perfect combination. Looks and tastes amazing.

Aaaaaaaand we re back at Cricket Wireless switch and get a brand new lg risio for 19. 99, or take a spin with the Samsung Galaxy grand prime for 29. 99 Cricket Wireless. Something to smile about. Lilly. But once a week i let her play sheriff so i can wash it. I use tide to get out those week old stains and downy to get it fresh and soft. You are free to go. Tide and downy take a little drive beyond the grand old homes and markets and churches, the Historic Center of charleston, south carolina. Enter quietly the hushed suite of rooms overlooking the city where an influential philanthropist flipped through his mental rolodex and placed a call to his friend, the chief of police. I really need a favor. I really need help with this situation. Sp the caller was this man john rivers. Happened to be a childhood friend of tom waring, watched kate waring grow up. John rivers told the police chief he was worried about kate, too. And he told me that, you know, they got a lot of stuff going on. Sure. Best and brightest to the case. And i felt pretty good about that. But now almost two months later, kate was still missing. And the investigation such as it was had accomplished nothing. And john rivers couldnt 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. Police in the loop, should be easy figured andy, given the team he assembled. A band of retired policementurnedprivate eyes. Each with a particular talent. Bobby minter. Bobby minter, human blood expert. Tracking people his specialty. Bill capps. Bill capps, techno geek. Tracks bad guys through cyberspace. Happens to be a crack shot. James randolph. James randolph. ExPolice Department rebel. Strategy his specialty. Shaking things up a particular skill. Were the cream of the crop. And our job was to find kate waring. Not finding kate was not an option. Experience told james the best place to start was with kate herself. If we listen to kate, shell tell us where she is. James went to the house on the battery, up the stairs, down the hall, and into kates bedroom. Take on the personality, and you have to see this persons world through their eyes. He looked around, the notes in kates handwriting made sense. Why chinese paper money . And why was her brand new prescription sitting there untouched . The medication in which she had gotten for a prescription was still on her dresser, unused. That medication was her lifeline. She needed it to counter depression, anxiety, insomnia. She never left home without it. Meanwhile, cybersleuth bill capps buried himself in social media sites. Kate used them. Bill scoured them all. If she was awake, she was facebooking, she was texting, calling people on the phone, she was emailing. And at the time she went missing, when everything immediately ceased. I mean, that was completely out of character for her. Using kates friends, capps communications the friday night she vanished. From kates friend jason locke, capps retrieved the weird voicemail left that evening. 10 0 p. M. , missed call. Voicemail. Voicemail said that someone had stolen her identity, and had obtained a couple of credit cards in her name. She wanted me to sue the person responsible. The gym trainer and kates romantic interest, howard gatts, told capps he heard from her at 10 30 p. M. , still at dinner with ethan then. There was another call, it was after midnight, well after Police Believe she was dropped off at home. She told me she was at some friends house. They had already made it to the house. She sounded a little buzzed. And then a very last message from kate. A text. Very strange. Pick up some lovely. Whatever lovely was i had no idea, you know, and, ill be back in a few days. Did that make sense to you . This time she di
