A young woman DISAPPEARED after an alarm call to a friend. THE TERRIBLE CASE OF Kate Waring

a 28 year old woman mysteriously disappeared from her own home leaving her bedroom light on they had been looking for her for months and at some point the story began to resemble a detective series the police had barely pursued the case so the missing woman’s parents turned to an independent team of former detectives and was only thanks to them that the gruesome truth came out Kate warring was born and raised in Charleston South Carolina she had two brothers and loving parents who tried to give their children the
best of everything Kade demonstrated A Love For Animals from a young age and started volunteering at various shelters from her teenage years she also danced had many friends and was a very positive person it seemed to everyone that the woman grew up in a very good environment and in part that was the case but one day all of that changed shortly before going to college she admitted to her parents that she had been abused as a child by someone close to her family apparently she did not reveal his identity as this information is nowhere
to be found for Kate’s parents this Revelation came as a real shock they hadn’t had the slightest inkling of what their daughter had been through for years after the woman shared this terrible secret her mother and father tried in every way to help her but the consequences of such a trauma over the years only worsened first Kate developed problems with alcohol and later with illegal substances at one point her parents suggested she get treatment and the woman agreed they also encouraged her to go back to their
home and live with her family which was also supposed to help her deal with her problems at that point Kate was an adult and living on her own but she agreed to come home nonetheless at first it seemed like therapy was really having a positive effect but Kate was still unable to let go of the heavy weight of the past and start living life to the fullest the psychiatrist she went to diagnosed her with depression but at one point everything changed her father who constantly supported his daughter and tried his best to help her
offered to take a trip anywhere in the world that K chooses the woman was excited by the idea and soon decided she wanted to go beyond the Arctic Circle her dream was to see polar bears despite the sad experience she still had a great love for animals they said about looking for suitable tours and soon bought tickets they were to get to the Arctic Circle by ship and Kate couldn’t wait for this exciting Journey at this point her parents watched as her depressed state was replaced with a cheerful and positive attitude
when they finally went on the trip Kate was over the moon she and her father had a great time the woman gained a lot of positive emotions on the ship that took them to the Arctic Circle Kate met another tourist from Russia throughout the trip they communicated and continued to correspond at the end of it Kate developed a liking for him and sometime after his arrival home she decided to go to Russia there they met again and the woman even considered staying in the country longer but she was prevented by problems with her visa
renewal and Kate was forced to return home in spite of this it looked as if the woman had finally managed to overcome her depression she planned to solve for Visa problems back home and even began writing a book for her children it seemed like her life was finally getting better but on Saturday June 12 2009 everything changed on that day Kate was home alone while her family was away on business the woman always called her father to tell him that she was okay but not this time her father decided to call her himself
but Kate didn’t pick up after waiting a while he asked his wife to come home and check on his daughter given her past problems with alcohol and illegal substances her parents were still worried when she arrived home her mother didn’t find Kate there but here’s what was strange the light in her room was on it looked as if the woman had gone out for a while and would be back soon the mother waited a few hours but Kate was still gone she also discovered that her daughter had left important medications at home that needed to be taken
regularly despite their concern the parents decided not to panic and wait for their daughter to show up after all Kate was already 28 years old at the time and her parents understood that she could live her life the father made the decision to wait until Monday after which he wanted to call the police on Monday morning the father received a call from the bank an employee told him that a man had come into their office and tried to cash more than four thousand dollars in a check signed by Kate warring they could not reach the
woman herself and her father acted as a fiduciary on her account the whole situation seemed extremely strange the father knew for a fact that his daughter had only a few hundred dollars in her account and that was the reason the bank Security Service decided to contact him that said the woman’s own signature looked authentic they also gave the name of the man who had brought this check his name was Ethan Mack the father did not know him but because of what the bank said about Kate’s signature the real one assumed that this man was
indeed an acquaintance of his daughter despite this he still decided to go to the police because Kate was still not in contact detectives began investigating the man’s disappearance and the first thing they came up with were questions for Ethan he stated that he had known gay for years and that she had written him this check for her old debts according to Ethan he often gave her money for clothes jewelry and other purchases after talking to Kate’s acquaintances the police did verify that she had been friends with
Ethan for a long time according to them there had never been a romantic relationship between them but they had always been close Ethan himself said that he and Kate met Friday night and went out to eat at a restaurant afterward he drove her home and left on his own business he even showed the detectives correspondence with Kate confirming what he said about the dinner Ethan allowed the detectives to inspect his home where he lived with his mother and his car they found nothing suspicious but the situation with the
check still seemed odd to the police and they were in no hurry to clear him eventually Ethan called the police station and rather harshly asked them to leave him alone the police attempted to reconstruct the chronology of that Friday evening when Kate was last seen she went to see her therapist in the afternoon then went to the gym next she went to the store and bought a bottle of wine surveillance cameras recorded her talking to someone on the phone at that moment according to the investigation she may have been
talking to Ethan who later picked her up and they went to a restaurant the woman’s parents recalled another disturbing fact on the day of her disappearance Kate told them she was in trouble she refused to specify what it was about and her parents didn’t remember it until a few days later alas none of this helped in any way with the surge as the weeks passed the woman remained unreachable her parents thought the police weren’t doing enough from Kate’s troubled past in August however the case was given a new chance and a group of
former police officers led by a lawyer named Andy Savage took on the case this group had been investigating cold cases privately and Kate warring’s case interested them in all the group consisted of five men each of whom had extensive law enforcement experience one of them was former detective James Randolph who first examined Kate’s bedroom there he singled out two suspicious things first his attention was drawn to a package of medication that the woman was taking on a regular basis her parents assured him that she would never skip a
drug of her own volition and the fact that she had left the package at home was really alarming second he discovered Chinese money on Kate’s bed this was strange for the parents had not the faintest idea where the woman had got it or why she needed it next a team member named Bobby Minter got involved he specialized in collecting information about a person on the internet and tracking people down his skills really came in handy in no time at all he found out that on the day of her disappearance around 10 pm Kate
called her friend named James but he didn’t pick up the phone then the woman left him a very disturbing voice message in it she stated that someone had stolen her credit cards he went on to find out that her phone was last active at 1 53 am she called her own voicemail box number for some reason Bobby found out that the hall was made from the James Island area which was a few miles from Kate’s house another member of the team former homicide detective Eugene Frazier also found out something interesting he talked to
several acquaintances living in James Island and found out something strange Ethan Mack who had volunteered to let the police inspect his and his mother’s house did not actually live there he was renting an apartment in a building nearby Eugene was very fortunate to learn these details the fact is that a close acquaintance of his turned out to be the owner of the very apartment Ethan had rented digging deeper the team of detectives realized that the police did not conduct any proper investigation of Ethan they only took a cursory look at
his mother’s house and let it go at that the team decided to look into the matter on their own they discovered that Ethan had a girlfriend named Heather Camp when they asked Kate’s parents if they knew the woman her mother recalled a rather strange story Kate had met Heather a month before she disappeared they were on the same train from Washington DC where the woman was dealing with problems with her visa to Russia after meeting her on the train Heather told her that her wallet had been stolen and now she had absolutely
nothing to live on Kate agreed to help and loaned her a certain amount of money Heather herself said she had gotten a job as a pediatric surgeon in South Carolina and she started in the next few days a few days later Heather stated that her daughter had been killed in a car accident in New Jersey and here her behavior seemed completely illogical Heather did not go there and from her demeanor it seemed that her daughter’s death did not upset her much the team of detectives discovered another curious fact an Indiana fraud
case had been filed against Heller the reason for this was that she was posing as a licensed doctor forging the necessary documents thus the team gathered an impressive set of data that forced them to look at the case from a different angle they turned all this information over to the police but they were totally unwilling to investigate further so the team realized their only chance to get the cops moving was to present them with unequivocal evidence implicating Ethan and Heather in Gates disappearance to achieve this goal the team went to
Extreme Measures first Eugene Frazier asked an acquaintance of his who rented Ethan’s apartment to install a hidden camera in front of the door of his apartment what’s more they installed a hidden GPS tracker on Ethan’s car this allowed the team to track his movements and see what he was up to it wasn’t long before it paid off after studying Ethan’s itinerary the former detectives determined that he had been to multiple pawn shops throughout the city they followed his footsteps and learned that at each of these pawn shops the man sold
various pieces of Jewelry in small batches alas they were unable to find out if the jewelry belonged to Kate but the detectives felt they were getting close to a clue after a while they ran into a serious problem the owner of the apartment where Ethan and Heather were staying informed them that he was going to evict them for non-payment the team realized that if they did so they would lose the ability to monitor their behavior and movements so they made every effort to convince the owner not to do so along with this
the detectives urgently came up with a new plan they asked the owner to give Ethan and Heather extra time to pay their rent but on one condition they both had to sign an agreement under which they would undertake to repay that debt in any case this ruse worked as soon as the landlord gave the team this contract they immediately sent it to the lab their purpose was simple to compare Ethan and Heather’s handwriting with Kate’s signature on the very check for four thousand dollars and here they have their long-awaited breakthrough The
Specialist stated with absolute certainty that the signature on the check was written by the same person who had signed Heather on the contract this meant that it was Heather who had forged Kate’s signature but the team was well aware that the lazy police still wouldn’t want to listen to them something else had to be found and they came up with a new plan they convinced the landlord to play along and tell Ethan that the apartment needed to be treated for insects the head of the team put on an exterminator suit and went to
the apartment with the owner beforehand the detectives waited until Ethan left the apartment noticing that his car had pulled away from the house James and the owner went inside an unpleasant surprise awaited them Ethan was at home it turned out that Heather was driving his car but it was too late to call off the whole operation so James had to change his plan as he went they continued to stick to the legend of the need for disinfestation and asked Ethan to wait outside the apartment while the dangerous chemicals were sprayed Ethan
who suspected nothing agreed and went outside at the same moment James began to carefully search the apartment for any evidence that might link Ethan to Kate’s disappearance James noticed Ethan’s backpack and examined its contents there awaited his first clue Chinese money as we recall the same bills were laying on Kate’s bed alas that wasn’t the end of his luck James was unable to find any other potential Clues he and the landlord pretended to do the processing and left the team needed a plan again as they studied the camera footage in front of
Ethan’s apartment they noticed that one man came in very often he turned out to be a neighbor of the couple named Terry Williams the detective speculated that he might know about Ethan and Heather’s involvement in Kate’s disappearance so the team took a risky step they decided to offer Williams an impressive sum of cash if he would tell the police what his friends had done to Kate they took the bag of cash and went to Williams apartment with this offer but here the detectives had a rather unexpected twist waiting for them
at the time they knocked on William’s door and told him about their offer Heather was at his house and heard everything apparently she was cheating on Ethan with Williams after hearing the detectives talking to her lover Heather panicked she called Ethan and hysterically told her what had happened the team didn’t expect this scenario and over the next few days they tried to figure out what to do next but then another surprise happened Williams called them and invited them to his house for a talk the detectives arrived at his apartment
and William spoke he stated that Ethan and Heather had not told him anything directly but he suspected that the couple had done something bad to Kate he then picked up an iPod from the shelf and revealed that Heather had given it to him just days after Kade disappeared and Williams had assumed that the player belonged to her the team examined the iPod and thanks to the serial number they were able to determine that it did belong to Kate this set of Clues was already enough to once again go to the Charleston Police Department and this
time the local cops could no longer shrug off their job after examining everything the team had managed to dig up they finally arrested Ethan and Heather at the first interrogation Heather agreed to cooperate with the investigation on the condition that the police helper get minimal punishment she stated that Kate’s body was on wadmala island about 20 miles from her home police enlisted a search party and combed the area all day but Kate’s body was not there it soon became clear that Heather had simply deceived them
then Andy Savage decided to resort to another ruse he realized that Heather was most likely directly connected to Kate’s murder but he met with her and promised to help Andy offered her a deal he would do whatever it took to get her off the check forging charges and she would name the exact location of Kate’s body Heather is convinced that this is her only chance and she agrees she said Kate’s body is still on the outskirts of wadmala Island specifically near poly Point Road the woman also described a specific location the team of detectives
decided to go there without the police and they were disappointed they failed to find Kate but they returned the next day and it finally happened the woman’s remains were found medical examiners were unable to determine the cause of death but soon the perpetrators themselves began to speak in August 2009 Heather signed a confession to murder obstruction of justice and bang check fraud police discovered that the woman had been a scam artist for years and on that train from Washington DC she chose Kate as her next victim
she later met Ethan and began dating him as for Ethan he was in no hurry to plead guilty and a trial began in October 2010. base and testimony from Heather the prosecution reconstructed the chronology of events according to their version on the day of her disappearance Kate learned that Heather had cheated her and also stolen her credit cards Kate threatened to tell her father who would most likely involve the police Heather told Ethan who sided with her despite her long friendship with Kate according to the investigation Kate had
dinner that night not only with Ethan Heather was also present apparently the couple was trying to negotiate with Kate to keep the cheating story from escalating at the restaurant Heather might have promised Kate to return the credit cards and money that had been in Ethan’s apartment when all three got there Heather anything could abide at her time and attacked her the court questioned Heather’s version and ultimately sentenced her that 39 years in prison as for Ethan he was a little luckier he was sentenced to 25 years
this difference is due to the fact that Heather was also charged with fraud what do we have in the end because of the actions of one fraudster events unfolded that could give rise to detective movies on the one hand we have Kate who suffered a severe trauma as a child affected by alcohol and other substances she found the strength to change her life for the better and overcame her depression on the other hand we have a sad fact in front of us her whole life was cut short because of a combination of betrayal and lust for profit Ethan
Mack had been her close friend for years and for the sake of his New Lover he took part in her murder they’re also the police who did not do a quality investigation after learning that the woman had a history of problems with illegal substances they put the case on the back burner this is where people who had useful skills and a desire to see Justice came to the rescue a group of Independents did more than the entire police department and it was only thanks to them that the killers were sent to jail and Kate’s family was
lifted from their shoulders the heavy burden of ignorance it is worth clarifying that not all of their methods are legal but they did get to the truth and what do you think are these mild violations Justified is it possible to resort to surveillance and fraudulent searches to prove the involvement of a person in a murder write your opinion in the comments and don’t forget to like this video if you liked it thank you for watching foreign
