Her father wrote candidly (referencing XOJane article linked upthread) about the fear that consumed him from the moment a police officer knocked on his door later that day and asked if he was missing a car.

Terry Elvis described the sleepless nights wrestling with the lack of answers as to what happened to his daughter the day she vanished.

(snip)
About 33 days ago, the foundation of Terry Elvis’ faith was shaken, but he says he’s still praying for a miracle.

“We will find my daughter,” he said. “We will find Heather Elvis.”

Anyone with information about Heather’s whereabouts can call Horry County police at 843-915-TIPS or send e-mail to [email protected].

Harmful effects of social media on Heather Elvis case

Social media has become a helpful resource for law enforcement agencies in solving cases, but it can also cause issues.

Lieutenant Robert Kegler of the Horry County Police Department says they have only been using Facebook for a few years and in that time they have seen big results.

"It gives us the ability to get the information out as quickly as possible," he said.

Kegler says posting mug shots or surveillance camera video on their Facebook has led to tips and information that have helped solve crimes.

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WBTW) -
Friends, family and complete strangers all gathered Thursday night for one purpose: to pray for the safe return of Heather Elvis.

(snip)
It was an emotional ceremony, especially for the Elvis family.

Close family friend Matt Stoddard says at this point, their faith is the only thing that keeps them going.

"You've got to hold onto your faith," Stoddard said. "If you lose your faith through all of this, you're going to lose who you are, and losing who you are is not going to help bring Heather home."

(snip)
But Thursday night wasn't about the search.

It was about a community coming together in a time of need.

"To show the family that, you know, we are here and we are trying to help you, and we want to bring Heather home," Stoddard said.

(snip)
The CUE Center for Missing Persons plans to continue its searches over the weekend.

There's a $30,000 reward for any information that leads to closure in Elvis' case.

Anyone with information is asked to call (843)915-TIPS.

Two People Arrested in Connection with Investigation Interference

During the course of the investigation, suspect Barrett began posting misleading information on a social media site regarding the disappearance of Heather Elvis, which created a community reaction that diverted investigating officers. It was also discovered that in an effort to conduct a separate investigation from law enforcement, he began questioning a witness in an attempt to gain confidential information about the law enforcement investigation. In addition, he conducted an independent search, where potential evidence was uncovered and did not immediately report it to law enforcement.

Also during the investigation, Starnes fabricated misleading information regarding the disappearance of Heather Elvis and then relayed the false information to law enforcement. This information was then posted to a social media site, causing investigating officers to obtain legal process regarding the information which diverted them from legitimate leads.

HEATHER ELVIS IS MISSING PT. 2: IN-DEPTH INTERVIEW WITH FATHER, TERRY ELVIS:
January 10, 2014 by Michelle Sigona

(snip)
“I’m mad all day, and I cry all night. It’s the only way I can get through it, there’s no in between,” Terry Elvis told Crime Feed today. Desperation and frustration is mounting over the fact his beautiful daughter, 20-year-old Heather Elvis, vanished without a trace from Myrtle Beach, S.C. The only large, solid clue investigators have is her vehicle that was found about eight miles from her apartment where she was last seen.

The last time anyone had contact with Heather, according to Terry, was 3:41 a.m. on Dec. 18. Terry told Crime Feed that he cannot go into detail about that last conversation and with whom it was with because of the on-going police investigation, but he did say he was contacted on Dec. 19 when her green Dodge Intrepid was located. “An officer came just after dark and we went down to take a look where the car was there, after an hour of trying to call her it went straight to voicemail. By 7 p.m. I was frantic.”

Lt. Rober Kegler, from the Horry County Police department told Crime Feed earlier this week not only is his department combing through surveillance video but, “I’ve got a thick three ring binder full of tips, tips are coming in by telephone, e-mail and Facebook.”

As for the night before his daughter vanished, police and Terry confirm Heather went on a date with a new guy. Not only did they go to dinner, but Terry said after the meal, she was driving around with the date looking at Christmas lights – something she loved to do.

In addition, Terry always told Heather he had a truck that was a stick shift and she could have it if she could learn how to drive one. The guy Heather was with that night also had a five-speed and Heather sent her dad a picture of her learning to drive. Terry said the picture told him, “Look at me I’m a pro! Big smile on her face and very happy.”

As for the guy, Lt. Kegler said, “He has since been interviewed and cleared he is not a suspect.”

(snip)
He said as for Heather, she was working two jobs as a hostess. One of those positions was at the local Myrtle Beach House of Blues, another at a pub.

(snip)
Recently, according to Terry, Heather was interested in cosmetology and he even helped her to land an interview with a local salon. Terry said Heather went to the salon and was offered a job as a make-up artist. She was excited and set to begin work the week of Christmas. “The cosmetology thing came out of the blue, she wanted to be a make-up artist and work the runway. She was interested in being Charlotte, Atlanta, and New York...."

(snip)
As for the apartment where Heather lived, Terry said it can be described best as a condo or a townhouse in a nice neighborhood, it’s right around the corner from a popular golf course.

(snip)
“The girl she was living with was a friend for the last two or three years, she had just moved in with her Dec. 4 or 5.”

Terry said his younger daughter who is only 16 and has a very close relationship with Heather is heartbroken to say the least. Terry has another son who is 30, and lives in Ohio.


(snip)
Terry wants the national media to take notice and to air this story as much as possible, especially because Myrtle Beach is an area heavily populated with tourists. He thinks maybe someone who was visiting may have information.

If you know anything, please call Horry County Police at 843-915-TIPS or send an e-mail to [email protected].
