There are a couple of things that I'm conflicted about.
LE says that the relationship between Heather and SM ended in October but on September 3rd, Heather tweeted that there was nothing for her in Myrtle Beach and she needed to go somewhere new. Maybe it's just me but that sounds like she was losing interest at the beginning of September? That, as well as the fact that she went on a date that night,she didn't run out to meet SM after the pay phone call,she called BW and was upset after hearing from SM instead of being happy that he"wants to be with her" and then waited almost an hour to call SM back...all of these things make me wonder just how much of a hold SM still had on her? Also,LE says that Heather drove herself to PTL and their reasons for thinking this are:
Horry County Police Lt. Chip Squires: "Everything indicates that she drove [to Peachtree Landing. We do not have anything that indicates she did not drive there."
Senior Horry County Prosecutor Donna Elder: "Sidney and Heather did care about each other. Then Tammy found out about it… This information [that Heather was at home after her date] is based on GPS from her phone…
We know [Heather drove to Peachtree Landing] because of the GPS coordinates from her phone… We ran all registered vehicles fitting the description the MAIT team gave us [from security videos on Mill Pond Road] and there were 82 that matched… [The Moorer children] have been extremely coached and even then their stories conflict… When police on patrol checked the landing, they found Heather’s car locked. There was no crime scene there and no personal belongings. Police didn’t think anything was wrong until Heather was reported missing… We have had divers all around the area and even worked with Coastal Carolina University to get an ultrasound of the river all the way down to Winyah Bay.”
This sounds to me like LE is
assuming that Heather drove herself to PTL because they don't have any proof(video) that she didn't. They say that they know this from the GPS on her phone. Anyone can drive around with her phone. I keep telling myself that they must have video but why not present it at the hearing?
I know that they didn't have to but if they're going to bring it up at the hearing,why not say that they know this because they have video rather than just her phone's GPS? I don't know...that just really bothers me. I think that SM tried to lure her out and Heather refused. She has also tweeted that she hates it when people are upset with her and that it makes her feel awful. Maybe she turned him down when he called and then she feels bad and calls BW about it. It could be that she called him back at the payphone because she felt bad about turning him down and not because she wanted to meet with him or resume the relationship.
I'm probably reaching here but maybe after SM's failed attempt to lure Heather out,he and TM go home and regroup. TM doesn't strike me as the type of person who will just give up after one attempt. I think she would go to plan B and I think she knew exactly where Heather moved to. She text Heather saying..." You can tell me where you are right now
or I will find out another way... that way wont have a great turn out for you... I am giving you
one last chance to answer before we meet in person.. only one." I believe that TM meant that. So after SM fails to lure Heather out,TM sends him over in the red truck. I have nothing at all to back that up just a thoery. There is a reason why LE took the black
AND the red trucks. SM parks down the road from Heather's place and walks over. It has never made sense to me that Heather would call SM's cell phone after getting the crazy texts from TM and after he called from a pay phone. It would seem that he doesn't have his phone and doubt that she wanted to risk further threats from TM so why call his cell? I think the 3:17 call may have been SM calling TM to let her know that he has Heather and he's on his way to PTL. SM shows up at Heather's place around 3:00. She lets him in because she doesn't hate him and why would she think that she was going to be killed? Before she has time to scream,run,try to defend herself,he knocks her out. He calls TM from Heather's phone and then puts Heather in her car and drives to PTL. He gets there before TM and panics. He calls over and over until he sees the lights from the truck. TM rolls up...SM gives the phone to TM and puts Heather in the truck while TM takes care of Heather's phone and they are outta there. I just feel like her car was dumped at PTL and not parked there by Heather. Ok...so there are a million holes in that theory but those are my thoughts today. Clearly I've had a little coffee.
