According to a police report, Waring previously told her father about receiving a text which said, “if you caused this to happen you will be the first to die.“ Another text told her when she came home and what she was wearing to imply someone was watching her. It’s not known who sent those text messages.

He said, "All I know is a friend of the family had this info via e-mail and it was pretty descriptive in this area. You can read it and get right to where we are. So being as specific as it was, we wanted to come check it out."

I hope they get a pleasant surprise and find she is still alive. Praying for Katherine and her family.

My husband and I felt strongly that we saw Katherine on July 21 in Greenville Co, then next day her picture was on the news. We BOTH were shocked that was a woman we had been face to face with the night before. I remember vividly the details of a dress this person was wearing but do not want to give false hope to her friends and family. It took the Charleston police 7 days to contact us. The woman in question was not distressed, carried herself very well and in an out of the way place to be dressed as she was. We did have a description of a car but no tag. I feel for the family and friends but can't get this off my mind as to what I saw. Because of the location and dress of this female, she was an "out-of-town" person, very strange siting. I would only hope that if I was in the situation and a tip had been called in with TWO people, a police department would not wait 7 days to return the call!!!
