Drew Carey reveals heartbreaking final text from murdered ex Amie Harwick

Comedian Drew Carey has revaled his final exchange with sex therapist ex Amie Harwick before she was brutally murdered.

Drew Carey’s ex-fiancee Amie Harwick wanted to “get together and talk” prior to her tragic murder in February 2020.

The “Price Is Right” host, 63, shared in a video released Wednesday the final text message he received from the therapist about plans to meet up, more than one year after they had ended their engagement.

“I got a text from her [that read], ‘I would love to get together with you and talk,’” Carey recalled in a preview for the upcoming US TV special 48 Hours: The Final Hours of Amie Harwick.

Comedian Drew Carey has revealed his ex reached out to talk in her final text before she was murdered.

“And I said, ‘Yeah, I would love to do that. I love you.‘”

The actor-comedian tearfully said he “never had a chance” to see Harwick before she was killed, but found comfort in knowing there were no hard feelings between them.

“That’s the big solace I get from it, is that she loved me. And I’m glad I could get that message to her before she died,” he said.

Carey and Harwick, who was the author of The New Sex Bible for Women, got engaged in January 2018. However, they ended their engagement later that year.

On February 15, 2020, Harwick was strangled and thrown over the third-floor balcony of her Hollywood Hills apartment, allegedly by her ex-boyfriend Gareth Pursehouse.

Amie Harwick was allegedly murdered by ex-boyfriend Gareth Pursehouse.

Pursehouse was charged with one count each of murder and first-degree residential burglary after allegedly waiting outside her apartment before attacking her. He pleaded not guilty to the murder in April 2020 and will stand trial.

Carey previously alleged that Pursehouse had been stalking Harwick for 10 years and that she was “deathly afraid” of him.

“She was beautiful and fun and cared deeply about people and improving their lives and was just a joy to be around. And I was so in love with her,” he said on his SiriusXM show, Drew Carey’s Friday Night Freak-Out, in February 2020.

Carey is best-known for the 90s sitcom The Drew Carey Show.

“Even after we broke up, we still loved each other very much. Even though we broke up the engagement, I was still so in love with her. And she loved me back.”

With the second anniversary of Harwick’s death approaching, Carey told 48 Hours that Valentine’s Day will not be “a good day to remember.”

“I don’t know if I’ll ever want to celebrate Valentine’s Day with a dinner. You know? I just don’t want to do anything. … Valentine’s Day sucks now,” he said.

“I think about her every single day. … You want an intimate relationship where you can open up to somebody completely and be yourself. And she was that for me. She cared so much about helping people. That was her life’s purpose. She just wanted to help people.”
