In today's chapter, I delve into the mysterious disappearance of Heather Elvis, a 20-year-old woman from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, who went missing on December 18, 2013. Her abandoned car was found at Peachtree Landing, but Heather was never seen again. The investigation led to Tammy and Sidney Moorer, a married couple whose tumultuous relationship with Heather would become the focus of multiple high-profile trials. Were the Moorers responsible for Heather's disappearance, or was the truth lost in a whirlwind of jealousy, deception, and conflicting testimonies? Join me as I break down every twist and turn of the Heather Elvis case, including:

• Heather Elvis’s final movements and her relationship with Sidney Moorer.
• The bizarre online behavior and accusations from Tammy Moorer.
• The police investigation and evidence pointing toward the Moorers.
• The courtroom drama and verdicts that continue to divide public opinion.
• The lingering question: What truly happened to Heather Elvis?
