Caisons discuss Tammy Moorer pregnancy, harassment and Heather Elvis case

At first glance it looks like most homes decked out for the holidays.

A pair of miniature Christmas trees sits perched at the front door of Polly Caison’s orange stucco home. Multi-colored holiday lights hug the branches, their bulbs glowing warmly.

Inside it’s warm, cozy and spotless. Presents neatly wrapped in red paper lie bundled under the towering Christmas tree.

Barely audible holiday music jingles in the background as small flames crackle in the fireplace. Stately portraits of Tammy Moorer and other family members hang from the nearby wall and mantle.

Horry County murder cases stack up
Posted: Friday, December 26, 2014 9:56 am | Updated: 10:04 am, Fri Dec 26, 2014.
By KATHY ROPP

The Horry County Solicitor’s Office set an all-time record for resolving murder cases in 2014, but even with that achievement the county’s list of pending murder charges continues to hover at close to 50, according to information provided by the Solicitor’s Office.

Solicitor Jimmy Richardson says he was shocked himself when he began to review his office’s numbers after receiving a request for pending murder cases from the Horry Independent.

In 2010 and 2011, Richardson’s office adjudicated six cases each year by plea or trial. In 2012, the office moved two murder cases. That number rose to 16 in 2013 and 18 in 2014.

The Heather Elvis trial

Prosecutors are expected to call the case of a Myrtle Beach couple, who are charged in the disappearance of Heather Elvis, in 2015.

Tammy and Sidney Moorer are each charged with murder and kidnapping in Elvis’ disappearance in addition to several unrelated charges.

Elvis, who was 20 at the time, was reported missing Dec. 19, 2013, after Horry County police found her car, which was registered to her father, parked at the Peachtree boat landing. Elvis’ keys, cellphone and purse were not found in the locked car and she remains missing.

Horry County sues tech company after delays in installing cameras at boat landings
BY CHARLES D. PERRY
December 31, 2014

A Charlotte company that was paid to install wireless cameras at Horry County boat landings misled county officials about its ability to handle the project and never made significant progress on the system, according to a lawsuit filed this week.

Horry County is suing WildFire Connections for the more than $65,000 the company was advanced, plus damages.

A WildFire representative could not be reached for comment Wednesday.

County officials worked on the surveillance camera project for most of 2014. Plans originally called for installing the cameras at six of the county’s 28 boat landings, including Peachtree Landing, where a missing Socastee woman named Heather Elvis was last seen in December 2013.

State grants worth $57,000 were earmarked for placing the cameras at Chris Anderson Landing, Red Bluff Landing, S.C. 22/U.S. 17 Interchange Landing, Reaves Ferry Landing, Enterprise Landing and, of course, Peachtree.

"State troopers closed Secondary Highway 814 near Socastee for a few hours Friday evening and early Saturday morning at the request of the 15th Circuit Solicitor’s Office."

"Solicitor Jimmy Richardson confirmed that his office requested that the road be temporarily closed, adding that it was connected to the Sidney and Tammy Moorer murder trial. Richardson said he couldn’t discuss specifics."

Authorities on Friday shut down and conducted an "ongoing investigation" on a road where an Horry County couple lived who are charged in the death and disappearance of a young Myrtle Beach woman, Heather Elvis.

15th Circuit Solicitor Jimmy Richardson said Tuesday that portions of SC Highway 814, the same road where Tammy and Sidney Moorer lived in a home together, were shut down for investigators.

New bond hearing set for pair charged in Heather Elvis' death


Just days after a detectives conducted a search near the house of an Horry County couple charged in the death of a young woman, a bond reconsideration hearing is planned for the pair.

The street where murder suspects Tammy and Sidney Moorer lived was closed for a criminal case search on Friday, officials said. The couple is charged in the death and disappearance of Heather Elvis, age 20, of Myrtle Beach who vanished a few days before Christmas 2013 -- and still has not been found.

Now, officials say that the Moorers will travel to Charleston for a hearing to focus on bond adjustments -- just days from now.

This article had some info in it that I haven't read anywhere else.

Snipped by me...

“…we're ready to go” McCollum said. “She's looking forward to having her defense heard and all the things that happen in a trial. So we are anxious and ready and willing to begin the trial."

During next Friday's bond hearing appearance, McCollum also wants to have a judge remove the gag order that severely limits information about the case from being discussed by officials to the public.

McCollum told WBTW he would file paperwork in the coming days about the lifting of the order.

“I can't say a whole lot about it because it exists. And that's the irony of it. I can't talk about really the reasons we'd like it to be lifted because the gag order is in place to keep us from talking about the evidence. That creates some issues for us and we would prefer to be able to speak more freely about the case.”

Bond was set at $100,000 for all charges related to the Heather Elvis case, and both are required to wear a GPS monitoring device.

Tammy and Sidney Moorer smiled Friday as they left a Charleston courtroom after a circuit court judge set bond for them for the first time on charges of murder and kidnapping in the disappearance of Heather Elvis.

Their attorneys were confident that once the paperwork was filed they would be released quickly from J. Reuben Long Detention Center, which is where they were returned to by Horry County Sheriff’s deputies after the hearing.
