In December 2013, 20-year-old Heather Elvis was going through a transitional period in her life. After an ill-advised relationship with a married man, she had just gone on a first date, and was getting ready to start a new job. She was trying to make a fresh start and had plenty to look forward to in life.

But in the early morning hours of December 18, Heather’s car was found abandoned at a remote boat landing in her home town of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. She was never seen again.

The investigation into Heather’s disappearance revealed a complicated story: a secret affair, relentless harassment, and two people who would eventually be convicted for kidnapping her. But despite the arrests and trials, one devastating mystery remains—what actually happened to Heather Elvis?

If you have any information about the disappearance of Heather Elvis, please contact the Horry County Police Department at 843-915-5350 or Crime Stoppers of South Carolina at 1-888-CRIME-SC. You can remain anonymous.
