HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WBTW) – Investigators recently released new files of evidence in the Heather Elvis disappearance case following the lifting of the gag order in the case.
Right now, Sidney and Tammy Moorer are each serving 30 years in prison for kidnapping and both continue to maintain their innocence.

Heather Elvis a was last seen nearly 6 years ago on December 18th, 2013. Elvis had an affair with Sidney Moorer.
Investigators released a police interview with Tammy Moorer and Carmen Rodriguez who was with Horry County Police at the time. The interview took place in January 2014, more than a month after Heather’s disappearance.

Tammy Moorer came to police that day to follow up on complaints of harassment and willingly answered Rodriguez’s questions.

Tammy said this regarding her husband’s relationship with Heather, “I had boyfriends. We had an open marriage. It’s okay. I could care less if he had sex with 100 people it doesn’t bother me.”

This is in direct contrast to a text message from Tammy Moorer to her friend in early December 2014, in reference to Sidney said “I do not love him. He betrayed me and I will never ever forgive or forget it. Trust me there’s zero love on my end.”
Another message sent by Tammy the day before Heather Elvis’ disappearance said, “I just had someone cheat on me that I thought was my soulmate. You never know who will screw you over in life. I felt totally betrayed. I’m better off without the liar.”
Sidney Moorer said when he ended things with Elvis to focus on his marriage, Elvis continued to call him.
Surveillance video shows Sidney calling Elvis from a payphone the day she disappeared.
Sidney initially denied calling Heather from a payphone, but a couple of minutes later admits to calling her from a payphone after police say they surveillance video of him making the call. Sidney told police he called her from the payphone to tell her to leave him alone because she had been leaving notes on his car while he was at work.
Phone records show the call lasted three minutes and that Elvis called back nine times within 35 minutes. Phone records also Sidney Moorer was the last person Heather called before her disappearance.

Neither Sidney nor Tammy gave a clear explanation as to what might have happened to Elvis.

HEATHER ELVIS has been missing from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina since 18 December 2013 - Age 20. Two people are in jail due to her disappearance.

Sidney Moorer has 2 upcoming appeals hearings to overturn his Heather Elvis convictions​

Sidney Moorer has upcoming hearings on two separate appeals of his conviction in the yearslong Heather Elvis disappearance case before the state’s top courts — the S.C. Supreme Court and Court of Appeals.

Moorer will appeal a 2019 kidnapping conviction where he received a 30-year prison sentence before the S.C. Court of Appeals on April 13.

He will have a hearing at the S.C. Supreme Court on May 17 to fight the Court of Appeals decision to not overturn his 2017 conviction for obstruction of justice where he received him a 10-year prison sentence.

The hearings are happening five months after his wife, Tammy Moorer, had a Court of Appeals hearing trying to reverse her 2018 conviction on a kidnapping charge. The appeals court has not issued a decision in Tammy Moorer’s case where she was sentenced to 30 years behind bars.

The Elvis family will hold a community event on June 30, for Heather Elvis' birthday, who went missing from the Socastee area of Horry County, to connect with the community, provide prevention education, and fundraising.

“Someone can look at you, and know, 'I don’t understand exactly, but I can feel what you’re feeling,'" Morgan Elvis said, explaining that the event is for anyone missing someone, whether they've lost that person, or they're out of touch right now.

"This year on Heather’s birthday, we want to bring awareness to all of these missing persons," Debbie Elvis, Heather's mother said. "I want people to look at all of these posters, and think ‘Did I ever see this person?’”

'I can't grieve Heather, they couldn't with Brittanee:' Drexel brings Elvis family hope

When news of Brittanee Drexel's remains being discovered in Georgetown County reached an Horry County family still searching for their loved one, several emotions moved to the forefront that they weren't necessarily expecting.

"I didn’t think it would impact me, because it wasn’t my sister," Morgan Elvis said. Her sister, Heather, was last seen in the Socastee area of Horry County in 2013.

"Any missing person who has a family left behind, their families are interconnected in ways that nobody can understand," Morgan said. "We were able to get really close with the Drexel family."

"It made me physically ill," Morgan said. "Because I not only could see it from the outside but from the inside. And that is my wildest dream, that my sister is brought home one way or another."

Heather's mother, Debbie Elvis, shared a similar feeling.

"I didn’t understand why my reaction was the way that it was, and why it upset me so much. I wasn’t expecting that," she said.

"I have not been able to grieve Heather," Debbie Elvis said. "I have grieved the fact that she’s not with us. That we’re not experiencing life with Heather—I have grieved that, but I can’t grieve Heather, in a loss. And they couldn’t do that with Brittanee either."

The annual “Night of HELPP” vigil has been held each year to call attention to missing person cases in the community and provide support to families during the holiday season.

Those who came lit candles, prayed and encouraged others who are struggling.

“Leading up to the holidays is awful,” said Debbi Elvis, Heather’s mother. “And being able to focus on helping somebody else is what gets me through the holidays. That’s why I think it’s so important people get involved in other things as well.”

The Elvis family said it will continue the vigil and hope to one day get closure in Heather’s case.

Sidney and Tammy Moorer lose appeals to overturn Heather Elvis convictions​

The S.C. Court of Appeals upheld the convictions and 30-year sentences Sidney and Tammy Moorer received for their roles in the 2013 disappearance of Heather Elvis, siding with prior circuit court judges’ rulings.

In separate opinions published June 7, the court denied an appeal from Sidney Moorer, who was convicted in 2019 of kidnapping and conspiracy to kidnap Elvis, and an appeal from Tammy Moorer, who was convicted in 2018 of the same charges.

The S.C. Court of Appeals wrote the 15th Judicial Circuit trials established there was enough evidence to prove their guilt.

Vigil marks 10 years since Heather Elvis went missing in Myrtle Beach area​

Terry Elvis says it’s hard to even put into words his feelings that linger a decade after his daughter Heather went missing on Dec. 18, 2013.

Her car was found at Peachtree Landing in the Socastee area but there has been no sighting of her since then.

Tammy and Sidney Moorer were eventually charged with her kidnapping and both sentenced to 30 years in prison. The couple were originally charged with her murder but those charges were dropped.

Terry Elvis said there will be a vigil at Peachtree Landing from 5-8 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 18. The vigil, Terry Elvis said, is not only in honor of Heather, but also those who have died or gone missing.

“Please come and celebrate the lives of lost loved ones and members of families that have passed on or are missing," Terry Elvis said. "Let’s make this a time of healing and compassion for everyone who is suffering especially during this Christmas season.”

‘Needle in a haystack’: Horry County solicitor on Heather Elvis’ body ever being found​

Just days after Angel Vause admitted to lying to investigators in the Brittanee Drexel case, Horry County’s top prosecutor shared his thoughts about another one of the county’s most high-profile cases — the Heather Elvis case, and whether or not he thinks her body will be found.

News13 asked 15th Circuit Solicitor Jimmy Richardson on Friday if he thinks Elvis’ body will ever be found.

“I think it’s more likely than not, no,” Richardson said. “As much as I hope, I’ve got to be truthful about it. Certainly, generally, what happened with Brittanee Drexel is uncommon. But we hold out hope.”

“The way it will happen, if it happens, is somebody will get charged with drugs or another charge, and they very well could say ‘look, I need help on my drug charges. I don’t want to go to jail for 15 or 20 years. And I’ve got information on where this body is,'” Richardson said. “That’s what usually breaks these cases. That’s the hope that I hold out.”

“We’re getting somewhere around 10,000 felony warrants a year, just in Horry, and we get about 2,000 in Georgetown,” Richardson continued. “So, any one of those people could have unexpected information that they’re holding onto and will not release. There’s another opportunity now that the appellant part is over for the Moorers, that once the post-conviction relief of the appeals gets over, that one of them would come clean.”

“But, I would expect that if there is information out there, it is just picking out the right person that says ‘I can help . . . ‘” he said. “Certainly, there would be help from anybody who had information, but we’re going to have to find the body and be able to deliver the body to the family.”

“That’s the way it would happen, but it’s a needle in a haystack. We have searched everywhere we’ve had any sort of clue. We, the police, everybody’s looked.”

I think sometimes I mix the two cases up. Both Myrtle Beach area right, same county of course, etc. is Heather the one who went to stay with a sister or some such?

South Carolina Supreme Court denies final appeal of woman convicted in Heather Elvis case

The ruling effectively ends arguments for her to appeal her conviction in the state.

South Carolina Supreme Court denies final appeal of woman convicted in Heather Elvis case​

A woman convicted in a high-profile kidnapping case in Horry County lost her final appeal to the state’s highest court.

Records show the South Carolina Supreme Court issued a “writ of certiorari denied” for Tammy Moorer on Oct. 3.

It essentially means the judges did not agree to review Moorer’s appeal, allowing a previous ruling by an appeals court to be upheld. The ruling effectively ends arguments to appeal her conviction in the state.

Moorer has been serving time in prison since 2018 being found guilty of kidnapping Heather Elvis, who was last seen in December 2013.

Her husband, Sidney Moorer, was also convicted in the case months later on similar charges. In April, the South Carolina Supreme Court also issued a similar “writ of certiorari denied” in his appeal.


According to the South Carolina Department of Corrections, Sidney Moorer has a projected release date of March 31, 2044, while Tammy Moorer has a projected release of May 9, 2043.

GOOD. Both are done with appeals, no chances.

However those aren't much for sentences. More bullsh*t sentencing.

Family, friends hold vigil on 11th anniversary of Heather Elvis’ disappearance

Family, friends hold vigil on 11th anniversary of Heather Elvis’ disappearance​

Exactly 11 years ago, a 20-year-old disappeared in one of Horry County’s most notorious missing persons cases.

Heather Elvis disappeared on Dec. 18, 2013, and her body has never been found. Her case has gained national attention over the years.

Every year on the anniversary of Elvis' disappearance, her family has held a vigil, which they call a Night of HELPP (Hope, Encouragement, Love, Purpose and Perseverance). The event is held at Peachtree Landing in Socastee, where police found Heather’s car, locked and empty, on Dec. 18.

Not only does this event honor Heather, but serves as a place of support for others who may have lost a loved one, too.

“We know what it feels like to have that empty seat at the table, to not know where your loved one is, or even if you do, just not having them there,” said Heather’s mom, Debbi Elvis. “I discovered, through this horrible ordeal that we went through, that doing something for somebody else is the only thing that made me feel better.”

At the vigil-- there was a table full of pamphlets and resources for those who may need them.

“We try to match you up with group meetings and support meetings and help you can get, going to church, and also ways that you can volunteer in the community and help other people, to give you ideas of things that you’re interested in, things that your loved one was interested in,” said Elvis.

She added although the holidays are tough without a loved one, she wanted tonight to be a reminder of the good memories.

“The grief that we feel is because we miss them and just to look at that in memories that we have of them, and the impact that they had on our lives and celebrate that, and make this a celebration of what we’re going to look forward to when we get to see them again, instead of grieving that loss,” she said.

Juries found Sidney Moore and Tammy Moorer guilty of kidnapping Elvis. But murder charges against the married couple were ultimately dropped.

15th Circuit Solicitor Jimmy Richardson told WMBF News on Wednesday that they didn’t believe they had enough evidence to prove murder beyond a reasonable doubt. Richardson added they are not currently working to build a case against Sidney and Tammy on murder charges.

“If information comes forward, that would get us closer to the standard, then we would look at [it],” Richardson said.

Man convicted in Heather Elvis case files application for new trial​

The man convicted in a high-profile missing person case in Horry County, is making another effort to get a new trial.

Sidney Moorer filed a post-conviction relief application asking for a new trial in a different county and/or a sentence relative to his criminal history, character statements and lack of evidence in the crime.

He is currently serving a 30-year sentence after he was convicted in 2019 of kidnapping and conspiracy charges in Heather Elvis’ disappearance.

In the post-conviction relief application, Sidney Moorer lists several reasons why he should receive a new trial in a different venue.

He claims that his case should be tried outside of Horry County because he can prove jury intimidation through affidavits and screenshots.

Sidney Moorer added that the Horry County clerk of court is related to Heather Elvis and the conflict of interest is overwhelming.

According to the application, he claims DNA evidence was withheld during the trial that may have revealed who the real perpetrator was in Elvis’ disappearance.

Sidney Moorer also claims he had ineffective counsel who didn’t use any alibi witnesses in the case, didn’t do any research and bullied and threatened him about testifying.

The application also states that his attorney didn’t put up a fight about keeping the trial in Horry County.

Sidney Moorer also claims the attorney withheld a letter from the victim’s family stating they knew he was innocent in the case.

Along with the new trial in a different venue, he is asking for a court-appointed attorney to handle his application for post-conviction relief as well.
