HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WPDE) — If you're viewing this on your phone for the best quality and to view embedded videos, click here.
Unsealed documents show video of a convicted kidnapper talking about her victim and new evidence against her husband who is also implicated in the crime.
Heather Elvis is a 20-year-old Socastee woman who disappeared in December of 2013. The case gained national attention and Sidney Moorer and his wife, Tammy, were convicted on charges of kidnapping. They are each serving 30 years in prison.
A gag order was issued over the case in March of 2014, so certain pieces of evidence weren't released to the public. ABC15 now has access to those pieces of evidence.
Never released footage of Tammy Moorer's interview with Horry County investigators shows her talking about Elvis and the teen's relationship with Sidney.

"She's not right. She's not normal. I look 20. I've partied with bands constantly. I wasn't that kind of girl and, believe me, I had the friends to make me that kind of girl and I didn't do it, so there's something not right with her," said Tammy.

Tammy speaks about her open marriage with her husband and states she is not bothered by him sleeping with other women, specifically Elvis.
"I have boyfriends. We have an open marriage. I could care less if he has sex with 100 people. I mean that doesn't really bother me," said Tammy.
In the interview, she also talks about the multiple phone calls made between Elvis and Sidney. Another piece of evidence is surveillance video showing Sidney inside a Walmart buying a pregnancy test. Throughout the case, it was implied Elvis may have been pregnant with Sidney's child.

Elvis's car was found by Peachtree Landing, in Socastee, and documents show Elvis' phone pinged off of towers near that area the night of her disappearance.
More evidence collected comes from the long-awaited arrest warrants for both Sidney and Tammy. The warrants state that there was enough probable cause to believe the two kidnapped Elvis from Peachtree Landing the night of Dec. 18, 2013.
We also have the text messages between Sidney and Elvis, that show a test from Sidney's phone saying, "Heather you wanted to speak to me earlier, you can call now," and Elvis responding, "I think you're a little obsessed with me."
ABC15 has over a dozen documents regarding this case that have never been released to the public. Our team is still working to go through them all. Check back for updates.
