It was all so overwhelmingly horrible. Shes missing, where is she at . Police worked the clues. Her car abandoned. I was scared to death to open that trunk. A mysterious caller captured on camera. Why would this person call from a pay phone in the middle of the night . Then came the secret. She was married. Rumors about her being pregnant. She truly believed she was his wife. Anger, betrayal, revenge. A bomb exploded. World war iii. This crazy love triangle, kidnapping potential murder. This is heathers life were talking about. Terrifying. When you see your parents hurting, you wish that you can take all their pain away. With Something Like this, its impossible. Myrtle beach, south carolina, vacation heaven. 60 miles of instagram worthy sand and surf, and thrills at every turn. But leave the tourists behind and go inland nearly 20 minutes to a bend in the river. Its tranquil. The trees are draped in spanish moss. There is a boat landing here with a fancy name, Peachtree Landing. Its a quiet spot you can go think. You dont get a loft that in a small town. So when you find a spot, you go all the time. What happened here to 20yearold Heather Elvis in 2013 became an enduring mystery. I know there is no way heather would not come home if she could come home. No way. You dont realize how much somebodys face means to you until you cant see it anymore. A family anguished, clinging to hope, searching for answers, a journey that would consume them for years. One of my best friends came to the house. He looked at me and he said, he said, i hope she didnt suffer. I cant get that thought from my head. Heather was born in 1993. The middle kid, sandwiched between elder brother chris and younger sister morgan. As morgan vividly remembered, heather would never let a label define her. She wasnt really a girly girl or a tomboy, she was somewhere in between. She loved heels. She would never let you swap shoes with her, though. I mean, god forbid i borrowed a pair of shoes and i did not tell her. She was coming for me. She just loved them. But she also would drive four wheelers and play volleyball and shoot paint ball guns. And then shed turn around and put on a dress and go you know look beautiful for photos. Her parents debbie and terry elvis say heather was driven by a passion to create. She drew all the time, decorating the family house with her doodles. Everywhere you went in the house, there was some kind of writing or some kind of drawing or some kind of doodle. Her brain is working overtime . Constantly. Just a reminder, a small desk in the house that i sit at has a computer at it. There is little sticky notes all over the top part of the desk. And the one that sits right in front of my face just in her handwriting, heather is amazing with a little heart on it. And heather was amazing when it came to cosmetology, the art of makeup. In a way that only siblings can. She sparked morgans interest in it, too. She said cosmetology was hers. I was not allowed to have it, and i did it any way. Thats kind of what sisters do. Oh go, tell me about it. Dont tell me no because im going to do it any way. She wanted to be a Makeup Artist and she wanted to do fashion and possibly weddings, Something Like that. She wanted to do something where she could be creative and design what she was doing. She had her license. She had just recently gotten it. It was something she wanted to do so she pursued it. After graduation from high school in 2011, heather began working at a local pub, the tilted kilt. She became a hostess. Breanna warm man, known as bri, worked with her there. Shed walk them back to the table. She would already have them laughing, having a conversation, same thing when they were leaving. Bri shared almost everything, including her apartment. And when heather confided she didnt always see eye to eye with her parents, that well, that was hardly unusual for a young woman determined to make her own way. They loved each other dearly. Its just i think they knocked heads, because heather wanted to explore. As for boyfriends, bri watch heather go through ups and downs. Just recently, she emerged from a difficult relationship with an older man. I know for a fact she had feelings for him. You dont fall out of love as much as that as sometimes we wish we could. On december 17th, 2013, everything was falling into place for heather. She got a new job as a Makeup Artist, had a date with a new guy. Even learned how to drive a stick shift in her dates truck. There she was in a picture she sent to her dad. She was proud of herself. It was a good day for her. You two must have been so proud of her that day. I think the picture, it was like i did it without you. But you couldnt help but be proud of it. And then, two days later, a knock at debbie and terrys door. A Police Officer with an odd question. Were they missing a car . That was his exact words, are you missing a car . I looked in the driveway, nope, theyre all there, not thinking about that he found a car somewhere. Was heathers car registered in her name . It was still in our name. Thats why he was at your doorstep. Yeah. Terry came up right behind me and asked what was going on. He explained he found heathers car at the landing. What was going on if heathers car was at the landing, then where was she . Coming up, a family holds on to hope. One of the local hospitals said that a Heather Elvis had come in on their own and had been released. But fear creeps. In. I felt like something was wrong. He said lets take a look in the trunk. I was scared to death to open that trunk. When the landing continues. Introducing voltaren arthritis pain gel. The first full prescription strength nonsteroidal antiinflammatory gel.

Heather elvis parents didnt know what to think. Two days earlier their daughter had been all smiles out on a date. Now a policeman was at their door and just found heathers car at Peachtree Landing abandoned. The officer said do you have extra keys or a spare key for the car . I said, yes. He said, grab those, lets take a look at it. Heathers mom, debbie, tried calling her daughters cell phone. It was going straight to voice mail, it wasnt ringing. While her dad terry drove down to the landing with the Police Officer. As we pulled up, we could see the car was sitting, facing the water. He took us there explaining what the officer showed him that night. He had shined the spotlight on the back of the car. Checked the tag. It was his daughters dodge intrepid. Right away terry could see something was off. But instead of being this way, the car was turned this way, basically taking up two, possibly three parking spaces. I unlocked the car for him. He stopped and he put on gloves. He handed me a pair and said just to be on the safe side. Terry elvis couldnt understand it. The last time he heard from heather was when she sent that photo from her date. She was fine. Now she was nowhere to be found and he was searching her abandoned car. On the center console, her drivers license was there. Thats weird. And a couple other business cards and identification cards. But there were no keys. Thats when the officer said something that made terry elvis heart skip a beat. He said, lets take a look in the trunk and i looked back and i turned the key. He said, let me open it. I said, let me lift it. He held his breath as the lid to his daughters trunk popped opened. Were you worried about i was scared to death to open that trunk. We both looked in, it was fine, there was nothing there. There was plenty of clutter, no sign of foul play. By that point, bri, who had been out of town for several days had gotten word her best friend heather was missing. I called her dad who was with police at the time at peachtree and he had asked, when the last time i had talked to heather was. Bri told the two men heather had called from their apartment a day earlier around 1 30 a. M. Tuesday, fresh from her date. She said, i had an amazing day. Im supposed so see him tomorrow when he gets off work. Bri said heather didnt want to chat about the new guy. She was upset about a call she had gotten from that older man she once dated. His name was sidney. Weeks earlier, he dumped heather. Her exact words, sidney called me. I was like, what, she was like, yeah. I said, what did he say . She said he wanted to see me. Bri told her friend not to do anything rash. And i was like, heather, dont you dare. Dont you dare. Youve been doing so good. Look how far youve come without him. You finally met a good guy. She was like, you know what . Youre right. Let me get some sleep. Im exhausted, and i love you, because we always say i love you when we hang up, and hung up. And that was it, bri said, the last time she spoke with heather. It was news to terry. Hed never heard of a sidney before. Then the officer had an idea. The officer starts calling hospitals to check and see if she had been admitted somewhere. When he called one of the local hospitals, they said a Heather Elvis had come in on her own and had been released. He thought heather must be okay. Eventually the officer told terry to take heathers car and head home. Terrys relief was short lived when he told his wife the story about checking into a hospital. Debbie didnt believe it. Because she knows its expensive to go to the emergency room and she wouldnt want that kind of expense. So she would have called me and said hey, this is whats wrong. What do i do . So the couple did what they could, calling family and friends. No one had heard from heather. Eventually, though, one relative cleared up that hospital mystery. We found out the heather that was in the hospital is my cousins daughter named the same thing. We didnt have the middle name, only first and last. What are the odds that its another at the same time. Heather elvis at the same time going to the hospital . It was puzzling. So where was their heather . Confusion was turning to fear. It felt like something was wrong. Heathers sister morgan arrived home from a basketball game. Had they told you at this point who was going on . I kind of picked up what was going on through conversation. That heather was nowhere to be found. That no one could get ahold of her, which to me is very surreal. You dont think Something Like that will happen until it does. Its just something you see on dateline specials. You dont see it happen in your own life. So your brain almost tells you that its not happen, that shes just doesnt have a phone on her or something. Thats when it donned on them, they could retrace heathers steps by way of their cell phone. She was still on their family plan. Ended up going online and going to our cell phone provider, because you can look at the call records, and they pull up the information and they emailed it to us. They could see the most recent calls their daughter made and received. After her call to bri. Heather dialed another number, several times. These are the Early Morning calls . And then im like, whos number is this . The worried parents suddenly found themselves playing detective in the very real case of their missing daughter. We googled the numbers trying to figure out what they went to. And they got a hit. The numbers heather dialed belonged to a man named sidney moore. They figured that had to be the exboyfriend bri had mentioned earlier. Terry is like, im going to call, im just going call him i said terry you cant call somebody in the middle of the night. He did any way, on the other end a man answered. The way terry recalls it, the man was not happy. I said, you dont know me, but im heathers father, Heather Elvis. And before he could get the next word out, im getting cussed out, left and right. Like cussing about what . Nothing, just cussing. Dont [ bleep ] call me. I dont know what you are talking about. I dont know this person. Okay. Thats a very odd reaction. Thats what i thought. Its just cursing after cursing after cursing. The man who dated their daughter was hotly denying hed ever heard of her. As the hours ticked by, they grew more anxious. They knew calling family and friends wasnt enough. They needed a new plan to find their missing daughter. Coming up, two new oncamera clues. Someone at a pay phone. It appears this is someone she knows. Right, exactly. Then someone in a pickup. You can see a dark pickup truck go by. Soon after that her phone goes dead and nobody ever heard from her again. When the landing continues. N strength nonsteroidal antiinflammatory gel. Available over the counter.

Her parents couldnt get in touch with her. Police couldnt find her. And then, all of myrtle beach was searching for her. Heather elvis a missing person. Volunteers keep looking for the 20yearold. Heathers desperate parents called on everyone to scour the area. They printed out flyers. There wasnt a store front in myrtle beach that didnt have one or two flyers and then they were in georgia, in tennessee and florida. They posted pleas online for information. They turned to the news media, local. Is heather alive . My heart tells me that my daughter is alive. And national, including datelines missing in america digital series. The elvises let our cameras into those early agonizing days. Its just that hole that we all in the family just feel. And bearing silent witness to their anguish was another daughter, morgan. I can probably count on one hand how many times ive seen my dad cry. And to see Something Like that makes your whole world fall apart. Police quickly turn their attention to heathers new guy, the man who had been with her on a date that night. His alibi, that he dropped heather at her apartment, and returned home checked out. The date has been questioned. He has cooperated with law enforcement, and he is not listed as a person of interest or a suspect. But what about the old boyfriend, sidney . Police wanted to know more about his relationship with heather. Her best friend, bri, was just the person to tell them about it. He flirted with her just as much if not more than she flirted with him. It was mutual. Bri said the two had met that spring at the tilted kilt. The pub where heather had been a hostess. Sidney took care of maintenance there. You can tell he did care about heather when he would come in see her, the Little Things, the texts or the calls to check up on her at work. But there was a big problem. Sidney was married. Although heather didnt seem to mind. Heather had it in her head that he was going to leave his wife. She swore up and down that he was going to leave. Bri knew that would never happen. Sure enough, in october 2013, sidneys wife got wind of the affair. He broke things off with heather. It hurt her. It hurt me to see her go through that. Sidney told police he was home the night heather disappeared, but he did say heather called him. Police went back to her phone records where they saw that call to sidney. They also found a mysterious number that had never called heather before. Investigators traced it to a pay phone at a gas station. A Security Camera was pointed right at it. This random pay phone number called heathers phone, called it once. It lasted about four minutes. And then she actually tried to call that number back multiple times. Marissa from nbc affiliate wmbftv covered the case. It appears that this is someone she knows. If shes having a conversation that reportedly lasted that long and shes repeatedly calling back. Right, exactly. Was it sidney . They pulled the security footage from the gas station. You can see somebody walk up to the pay phone and place that call to Heather Elvis. Police wondered if that somebody was sidney. They asked him to come in for another round of questioning. If he had been home, what was he doing at a pay phone calling heather . He finally fessed up. Sidney moore told them in an interview with police, i made that phone call to heather. Investigators began to build a time line from heathers phone at 1 35 a. M. , sidney called heather from the pay phone. Nine minutes later at 1 44, heather calls her friend bri between 2 29 and 3 05, heather called the pay phone nine times, but no one answered. Her phone did connect to sidneys cell phone at 3 17 a. M. For four minutes. Then from 3 25 to 3 37, the phone was in her car on the way to Peachtree Landing. Where was sidney at that time . Police didnt know. That is until a woman who lived near the landing here told police her home had a Security Camera. Perhaps she thought it captured something around the time of heathers disappearance. Around 3 30 in the morning you can see a dark pickup truck go by her home. Police believed it was sidneys truck. It was a huge break. Police thought they could now place Heather Elvis in her car and sydney moorer in his truck, heading for Peachtree Landing at the same time. And soon after that her phone goes dead and nobody ever heard from her again. It was 3 42 in the morning. Police now had a theory, somehow, heather had become a problem for sidney so he lured heather to the landing and killed her. And there was more. Investigators believe sidney and heather werent alone. Someone else was at the landing. Coming up they believe that she was the ultimate brains behind this whole plan. Who was that mystery person at the landing . And why would anyone want to harm heather . The fire, the jealous explodes into utter rage. When the landing continues. Introducing voltaren arthritis pain gel.

Hello, im dara brown. Heres whats happening. The u. S. Surpassed 350,000 known coronavirusrelated deaths on saturday from nbc data. It happens new york becomes the fourth state to report more than one million reported infections placing it behind california, florida, and texas. And the homes of Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell and nancy pelosi were vandalized this weekend. It comes days after congress failed to approve a measure to release relief checks to 2,000. Now back to dateline. Why do you think there is such a fascination with heathers disace appearance . I think its because nobody knows what happened to her. Her body has yet to be found. She was well liked by a lot of people. And i think the fact that a 20yearold can vanish so quickly into thin air and never be heard from again, it leaves a lot of people uneasy. Terry elvis isnt exactly sure when he realized his daughter probably wasnt coming home. Maybe it was the afternoon, long after heather disappeared when he was standing at his mailbox, talking to his best friend. One of my best friends came to the house. He looked at me and he said he said i hope she didnt suffer. I cant get that thought out of my head. The not knowing made it worse. And then, stunning news. New developments tonight in the Heather Elvis case. Two months after heathers disappearance, sydney moorer, heathers exboyfriend was arrested. And he didnt go to jail alone. He was joined by his wife, tammy moorer. Both were charged with heathers kidnapping and murder. Was this surprising to most people . Tammy and sydney moorer are parents. They have three children. And now theyre involved in this potential love triangle kidnapping potential murder . Its something that you see on a dateline episode. Its not a story line that match itself up with two people who have three children and are supposed to be happily married. In an interview with dateline, tammy told us her marriage was a happy one. We were a normal family. It was about our children. Our kids always came first before anything. They enjoyed cookouts and family vacations. Tammy home schooled the kids and sydney worked at local restaurants. He fixed things in restaurants. He had learned about electricity. He learned about the tile work and all that. So practice made perfect. And my house was some of the practicing. So youll see little in the house. Tammy told us she found the affair upsetting, but she quickly got over it. I always loved sydney, but i hated the things he done and some of the reactions that came into the marriage. I didnt i had sydney. I hated the damage he caused to the children. I said please just be honest with me and tell me whats going on. At first she told me they were just friends. She said were just friends. We just talk to one another. I said is that the truth . Please tell me the truth. Im not mad at you. And she said well, and then she told me the stuff they had done and what had happened. Thats it. There was no cussing her out. I wasnt mean to her, nothing. Prosecutors didnt buy tammys story for one minute. But they had to drop the murder charges. After all, they didnt have a body. Howd that feel when they told you about that . Like there is some tiny bit of justice in the world, for a brief moment and then all of a sudden its like it never happened. But it wasnt over yet. It was only just beginning. Both sidney and tammy still faced kidnapping charges. Sidney was up first. His trial began in the summer of 2016. He pleaded not guilty. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen of the jury. The prosecutions case was purely circumstantial. There was no physical evidence. But they argue those Surveillance Videos and phone records proved the last person to talk and meet up with heather was sidney. However, the jury deadlocked. A mistrial has been declared in this case against sidney moorer. The prosecution didnt give up. When it came time for tammys trial, they came up with a bold new strategy. They argued that tammy had not only been sidneys partner in crime, she had been the mastermind, calling all the shots. They believe that she was the ultimate brains behind this whole plan. Prosecutors said it all boiled down to this. Far from being the understanding wife who had accepted sidneys affair, tammy had been consumed by it. A fire of jealousy was lit in the defendant. She was livid. She was angry. An anger that became more sinister when tammy heard a rumor around town, heather might be pregnant with sidneys baby. When this gets out and becomes common knowledge, the fire, the jealousy that is in tammy moorer explodes into utter rage. Prosecutors said that rage wouldnt be satisfied until heather was out of the way. They said it was obvious how much the affair had upset tammy by the way she had treated sidney afterwards. She said she beat the hell out of him. This witness said sidney had a tattoo of tammys name across his abdomen. His understanding is that tammy made sidney get it. The states theory is that was terrys way of saying youre mine and you will never be anyone elses. The prosecutor said tammy had even chained sidney to the bed with handcuffs. Im not speaking figuratively. Literally chained him to the bed at night. That played back into the states theory that tammy was the controlling one in this relationship. She was the one who wore the pants in this relationship. But as angry as she was at sidney for cheating, prosecutors said tammy was furious with heather. Shed sent her several texts. The prosecution said some of them were threats. Heather was really afraid of tammy. She was, her friends played a prank on her one time at work, where they pretended to be tammy calling heathers phone, she was absolutely terrified. And the prosecution said if there was any doubt about the way tammy felt, just look at this nasty Facebook Post tammy had written after heather disappeared. Calling her a psycho whore. She could have said, oh, im so sorry this girls missing and i hope you found her and left it alone. No, she goes on the attack. Tammy is the one with the motive. She is the hunter. And it was a hunt. The prosecution said the investigator told the jury he used cell phone data to track the moorers movements. In the days before the disappearance, they showed up near heathers workplace. Some of the bars she liked, even her home. The prosecution suggested the couple was stalking her. Then in the early hours of december 18th, 2013, with heathers roommate out of town, the prosecutor said the couple struck. It began here. The prosecutor showed the jury Surveillance Video of sidney walking into a walmart and purchasing a pregnancy test for heather. As soon as they leave for walmart, they go and call her. Why . Because the test is for her. The prosecutions theory is sidney had called healther to come and get the test, take it and meet up later at the landing. They said what she didnt know was that tammy would be there, too. There is no doubt sidney is the bait in this hunt. Hes the bait. Prosecutors admitted they couldnt say what happened to heather at the landing but they asked the jury to use their common sense. An investigator showed the jury a photo of several items found on the moores property. There is a spent shotgun shell casing. There is a bag of concrete mix here. And off to the side up here is some type of a bottle of a cleaning solution. The prosecution suggested it was nothing less than a kidnapping kit. What the moorers might have needed to kill heather and dispose of her body. How hard was it for you being in that courtroom every day, hearing these details, having to see tammy . Most days when i woke up i didnt want to come to the trial. But i went because when you see your parents hurting, you wish that you could take all the their pain away. And Something Like this, its an Impossible Task for me to do. But you can do small things. You can sit with them and you can hold their hands when they need it. After seven days of testimony, the prosecution rested. And the defense announced tammy was going to testify in her defense. As hard as it might be to listen to her, that was something morgan didnt want to miss. Coming up did you kidnap Heather Elvis . No, i did not. Do you know who kidnapped her . I do not. Tammy moore on the stand and on the offensive. I want people to know the truth, and i too want heather found. Tammy was just indignant. Theres answers to this mystery and they refuse to solve it. When dateline continues. Trelegy for copd. Birds flyin high you know how i feel breeze drifting on by you know how i feel [man coughing] its a new dawn, its a new day.

Instead, they were sitting in a courtroom, watching her be accused of a terrible crime. Tammy is the one with the motive. She is the hunter. I just want to get home to my children and take care of them. Tammy believes she was being victimized bay relentless prosecutor. None of this should have ever happened. The state should be looking to see what really happened to heather. Heather is not getting justice by putting an innocent person in jail. She never will. There is answers to these mystery, and they refuse to solve it. I think from the beginning that tammy was just indignant that she was even charged with this. Greg mccallum was tammys defense attorney. They cannot prove to you that anybody named moorer ever went to the boat landing at the end of peachtree road. The defense told the jury to look at the evidence or lack of it, starting with heathers car. The vehicle did not indicate that anything occurred inside of the vehicle. The Police Officer who processed heathers car testified he couldnt find any evidence of a struggle. Investigators found no trace of a crime inside the moorers house or truck either. Speaking or their truck, the defense said they couldnt tell whether it was actually sidney and tammys truck caught on camera headed towards Peachtree Landing. You have low image, low resolution Surveillance Video. Our position is that you absolutely cannot draw any conclusion beyond the fact that may be a certain make and model. This video did not pass the smell test to you . This video didnt even give off an odor. Another piece of flawed evidence, according to the defense . Was the cell phone data that seemed to suggest tammy and sidney had been stalking heather. Id say you could compare their phone activity to anybody elses who lived and worked in the area. Those are where the nightclubs are. There are restaurants there. It would appear i were stalking her as well, if you look at where my phone went. The defense said what the jury really needed to understand was a simple fact. No piece of evidence put tammy at the landing. If anything, her alibi placed her miles away. Did tammys children stay in the house there with you or your mother . Yes. Tammys sister ashley told the court she was babysitting tammys kids on the night of december 17th, 2013. She said tammy and sidney went out together in the hours leading up to heathers disappearance. But ashley remembered when her sister came home. She texted me that night saying she was home. Do you know what time it was . It was beginning of 3 00 in the morning, i believe it was 3 10. For the defense, it was a time stamp, proving tammy was home well before heather went missing. That wasnt all he said, both sidney and tammys phones were on an pinging from their house, not from the landing when heather was there. It was all so hard for morgan to listen to. Some days she wished she hadnt come to court. But that all changed during a crucial moment in the trial. When i found out that tammy was going to testify, i really wanted to be there. Because i do look like heather. Hmm. And she ran into me in the hallway and it was the first time she had ever really made eye contact and been up close and personal with me and i could hear her audibly gasp. When tammy took the stand, she seemed confident, ready to tell her story. She told the jury she wasnt a ruthless kidnapper. She was a mom. My youngest is on the far left over there. And she was a wife who found out her husband was cheating on her. Initially tammy said she texted the other womans phone number to find out who she was. The messages were never directed towards Heather Elvis. They were directed toward the mystery person. I wanted to know who it was. At the end of the day, she says the only reason she was angry with sidney is he wasnt forthcoming about his affair. In their marriage, they had an arrangement. I think its a good idea to have an open marriage for a little bit and see if were meant to be together. The only thing is i want you to be honest with me. Sidney wasnt honest with me. Thats why i got angry with sid sidney. She said when heather went missing, they were working on their marriage. Even hoping to get pregnant. That test sidney bought at walmart was for her, not heather. Also, she denied she made sidney get a tattoo as punishment. She said he had gotten it long before he met heather and a answer about the handcuffs, too. Did you ever handcuff him to the bed and leave with the keys . So he couldnt get loose . No, i have not. Sidney is a strong man. He can get out of anything. Tammy had her own explanation for that socalled kidnapping kit. Sidney needed the concrete for work. The cleaning fluid was for their dirty camper, and the shotgun shell, probably just a spent casing from a turkey hunt. Did you kidnap Heather Elvis . No, i did not. Do you know who kidnapped her . I do not. Are you glad that you are able to tell people what happened, what you did do and didnt do . I want people to know the truth and i too want heather found. Tammy has said that she wants to find heather. She actually liked heather, she didnt do this. And yet she goes on facebook calling her a psycho whore. Which is it .
