First witness of the day is Stefan Schiraldi. He said he knew Heather Elvis unofficially while they were in school together. He then went on a date with Elvis on Dec. 17, 2013.
The witness testified he picked Elvis up at her apartment for the date at 7 p.m., on Dec. 17, 2013.
Schiraldi said he and Elvis had dinner at Banditos in downtown Myrtle Beach off Ocean Boulevard. He described Elvis as happy and friendly, and didn't seem distracted.
After dinner, he and Elvis drove around for a while and then went to the empty parking lot at Inlet Square Mall, where he taught her how to drive his truck, which had a manual transmission. They then went back to his mother's house where he was staying and watched a movie. Schiraldi then said he took Elvis home around 1:15 or 1:30 a.m.
The witness said he went inside Elvis' apartment for about five minutes. They made plans to hang out the next day when he got off work around 3 p.m.
