that is until a woman who lived near the landing area told police her home had a security camera. perhaps she thought, it captured something around the time of heather s disappearance. around 3:30 in the morning on december 18th you can see a dark truck, pick up truck, go by her home. police believed it was sydney struck. it was a huge break. police thought they could now place heather elvis in her car, and sidney moorer in his truck heading to peachtree landing, at the same time. 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 sydney so he lured heather to the landing and killed her. and there was more, investigators believed sydney and heather weren t alone. someone else was at the landing. coming up. who was that mystery pursuing
victimized by a relentless prosecutor. she is not getting justice putting an innocent person in jail. she never will. i think from the beginning tammy was indignant she was even charged with this. tammy s defense attorney. they cannot prove to you that anybody named moore ever went to the boat landing at the end of teachtree road. the defense told the jury to look at the evidence or lack of it, starting with heather s car. the vehicle did not indicate that anything occurred inside of the vehicle. the police officer who processed heather s car testified he couldn t find any evidence of a struggle. investigators found no trace of a crime inside the moore s house or truck either. speaking or their truck, the defense said they couldn t tell whether it was actually sydney and tammy s truck headed towards peachtree land zplg you have low
then in the early hours of december 18th, 2013, with heather s roommate out of town, the prosecutor said the couple struck. it began here. the prosecutor shows the jerry surveillance video of sydney walking into a walmart and purchasing a pregnancy test for heather. as soon as they leave for walmart, that i go to call her. why? because they want to meet her. the prosecution s theory is sydney called to take the test and meet up later at the landing. they said what she didn t know was that tammy would be there, too. there is no doubt sydney is the bait in this husband. he s the bait. prosecutors admitted they couldn t 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 moore s property. there is a shell casing.
i always loved sydney but i hated the things he had done. tammy told us she found the affair upsetting, quickly got over it. she said within a day or two, she had a nice conversation with heather on the phone. i said i m not mad at you. she said, well, and then she told me the stuff that they had done and what had happened. prosecutors didn t buy tammy s story for one minute. but they had to drop the murder charges. after all, they didn t have a body. how d that feel when they told you about that in. like there is some tiny bit of justice in the world, for a brief moment and then all of a sudden it s like it never happened. but it wasn t over yet. it was only just beginning. both sydney and tammy still faced kidnapping charges. sid? i was up first. his trial dependant in the summer of 2016. he pleaded fought guilty. good morning, ladies and gentlemen of the jury. the prosecution s case was purely circumstantial.
town, heather might be pregnant with sydney s baby. when this gets out and becomes common knowledge, the fire, the gel outy that is in tammy moore explodes into utter rage. prosecutors said that rage wouldn t 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 sydney afterwards. she said she beat the held out of him. this witness said sydney had a tattoo of tammy s name across his and. she made him get it. the state s theory is that was terry s way of saying you re mine and you will never be anyone else s. the prosecutor said tammy chained sydney to the bed with handcuffs. i m not speaking figuratively. literally chained him to the bed at night. as angry as she was for him cheating, prosecutors say she was furious with heather. she sent her several texts.
