CONWAY, SC (WMBF) – Sidney Moorer, the man accused of kidnapping missing woman Heather Elvis and obstructing the investigation into her disappearance, will head to trial in Horry County for obstruction of justice on Aug. 28, according to court documents.

He will be tried separately for kidnapping in Georgetown County.
Moorer is charged with obstruction of justice for allegedly lying to investigators about making a call to Elvis from a pay phone on the night of her disappearance. This was revealed during his first trial last year.
Moorer’s first trial for the kidnapping of Heather Elvis took place in Horry County in June 2016 and ended with a hung jury. Ten jurors believed Moorer was guilty after a week of testimony, but two jurors found him not guilty and a mistrial was declared.
Since that trial, Judge Markley Dennis granted a change of venue because of what he called “social media saturation.” Moorer’s retrial for kidnapping will happen in Georgetown County. A date for this trial has not yet been announced.
Sidney Moorer and his wife, Tammy Moorer, were both originally charged with murdering Heather Elvis, but those charges were dropped in March 2016.
In preparation for his obstruction of justice trial, Sidney Moorer’s defense attorneys, Kirk Truslow and James Galmore, filed a number of motions this week to suppress evidence.
One motion asked that testimony and evidence of “alleged crimes and/or acts for which the defendant is not currently on trial” be suppressed, according to court documents.
The motion points out that Sidney Moorer’s murder warrant was dismissed and his first kidnapping trial ended with a mistrial.
“This has been a highly publicized case,” the motion stated. “If such evidence was introduced, the jury could make the mistake of deciding the case on an improper basis, such as an emotional basis.”
Another motion asked the court two suppress two videotaped statements made by the defendant to police on Dec. 20 and Dec. 21, 2013, according to court records. Heather Elvis was last heard from in the early-morning hours of Dec. 18, 2013.
The Moorers were arrested in February 2014 in connection with the disappearance of Elvis, who was 20 years old when she went missing.
Prosecutors are unable to discuss the case due to a court-appointed gag order that remains in place.
Moorer actually spent time behind bars for breaking that gag order. He was sentenced to five months in jail last July for talking to the press during his trial, but ultimately only served two of them.
In addition to when a new trial will be take place, another element of this story that has yet to be told is the kidnapping trial of Tammy Moorer.
During her husband’s trial, bits and pieces describing her possible involvement in Heather Elvis’ disappearance were recounted for the jury. However, for now, no date has been set for her to appear before a judge and jury of her own.

Records claim Tammy Moorer’s Facebook Posts Violated Gag Order
CONWAY, S.C. (WBTW) – Court documents from the Horry County Clerk’s Office show Tammy Moorer, the woman accused of kidnapping Heather Elvis, is accused of violating a gag order through a number of Facebook posts.
Moorer was scheduled to be in court Monday for an obstruction of justice hearing, but the hearing was continued without the prosecution addressing its claims. Court documents reveal what prosecutors say was a violation of a court order for all parties to remain silent about the kidnapping case.
Elvis has been missing since 2013. She was 20-years-old at the time of her disappearance, and even though her body hasn’t been found, police presume she is dead.
In a motion document, Assistant Solicitor of the 15th Judicial Circuit Nancy Livesay claims that Moorer violated the court order in the case and should be held in contempt of court. Livesay claims between June and July comments were posted to Moorer’s Facebook page “regarding the facts of the case, witness’ credibility, and comments about the victim’s family.”
It’s noted within the document that in March 2014, a judge issued a gag order in the case, prohibiting any parties involved from speaking about or releasing documents regarding the case. Livesay documents that Moorer should be required to show why she shouldn’t be held in contempt of court.
The hearing, however, was continued and no new date has been set.
Moorer’s husband, Sidney Moorer, was in court Monday. Sidney Moorer is also accused of kidnapping Elvis and faces an obstruction of justice charge. Sidney Moorer’s defense team requested the hearing Monday morning to make a motion that the obstruction of justice charge be thrown out, but the judge denied that motion.
A second motion was made by Sidney Moorer’s defense asking that an interview Moorer did with detectives in the initial days of Elvis’ disappearance not be allowed as evidence in the case. A judge did not rule on that motion and did not give an expected date as to when he would make a decision.

CONWAY, SC (WMBF) – Prosecutors are alleging that Tammy Moorer, the woman charged with kidnapping missing woman Heather Elvis, posted information about the case to her personal Facebook page.

That information comes from a motion filed Monday, which states Moorer is in violation of a court-ordered gag order in this case.
The gag order was issued in March 2014.
According to the motion, comments were posted on Moorer’s Facebook page regarding “the facts of the case, witness’s credibility and comments about the victim’s family” between June and July of this year.
The state has requested a hearing to determine if Moorer is in violation of the gag order. Originally, that hearing was scheduled to take place on Monday, but was continued.
Moorer’s husband, Sidney Moorer, was in court Monday for a hearing ahead of his Aug. 28 trial for obstruction of justice. The defense discussed motions requesting the suppression of evidence in that case.
Both Moorers are still due to be tried on the charge of kidnapping. Sidney Moorer’s first trial on this charge ended with a mistrial and hung jury after several days of testimony and deliberation last June. His request for a change of venue was granted, and this trial will now be held in Georgetown County.
There is no indication when Tammy Moorer will go to trial for kidnapping.
The Moorers were arrested in February 2014 in connection with the disappearance of Elvis, who was 20 years old when she went missing in December 2013.
