A new approach to the analysis of three body decays is presented. Measurements of the S-wave K{pi} amplitude are made in independent ranges of invariant mass from threshold up to the upper kinematic limit in D{sup +} {yields} K{sup -}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup +} decays. These are compared with results obtained from a fit where the S-wave is assumed to have {kappa} and K{sub 0}{sup +}(1430) resonances. Results are also compared with measurements of K{sup -} {pi}{sup +} elastic scattering. Contributions from I = 1/2 and I = 3/2 are not resolved in this study. If I = 1/2 dominates, however, the Watson theorem prediction, that the phase behavior below K{eta}' threshold should match that in elastic scattering, is not well supported by these data. Production of K{sup -} {pi}{sup +} from these D decays is also studied.
