My hunch is that Kate's daddy molested her (hence the whole "you know why I always want to run" statement on the tape), Kate (accidentally, of course) killed him, Mom freaked out, cops were called, Kate took off, hunt-for-Kate ensued, cops staked out Mom's room hoping that Kate would come back, old boyfriend winds up dead because he helped Kate, etc.
Hee! It's kind of frightening how likely this scenario seems...
