SC - Heather Elvis, 20, Myrtle Beach, 18 Dec 2013 - #11

I did read that early on in this case but I haven't been able to find where I read it yet.

I think it's in TE's version of events

Can you point me to the place where he said it, I've gone back over a few articles now--the more detailed ones--and what happened to the car after he unlocked it is not mentioned.

 

[LambChop]

Ok then, I've got nothing to offer as to why it is marked administratively closed
I will delete my post.
Thank you for reminding me

It sounds as if the original report was for an abandoned vehicle because when LE called TE he had no idea his daughter was missing. LE probably closed out the abandoned car portion of the report within four hours to reflect that it was now a missing person's report due them finding the car. jmo

I agree with all of that. Let's hope we get some new information soon.

I hope so. My concern is that Heather's location is one that could make it extremely difficult to find or recover her.

Don't assume a VI knows all insider info ..

Okay here is where I am confused. If a VI isn't verified as a specialist in some field (LE, Chemistry, SAR etc etc) and they are just verified as an insider on this case. Doesn't it mean that they are close to the case in some respect (family member, close friend, LE) and would definitely know basic info about the case? Like did the car get driven home. Or who did Heather live with before she moved in with Bri. Little facts.
I've read all the VI info here at WS (how you become one, the lists of all VIs here at WS etc) and I am not clear who could be verified on a particular case--not a specialist in their field--but just an insider on the case except those close to the case--family, close friends etc.

I realize no one would have all inside info. For example her friends would have info her family may not know and her parents may have some info her friends may not know.
But it seems like the basic info any insider would know.
Maybe my scope of insider is too narrow?? I welcome any info that can straighten me out

Since there's only one other Heather Elvis in the area, isn't HIPAA law being broke by saying it was a different HE at the hospital, since it automatically points to the other HE?

And just because they have the same first and last name, how do they know they are "distant cousins"? Is that one of those "You're related to everyone with your last names" things?

I'm certain there is more than one. Still, it shouldn't have come out either way.

Yes it's very sad. I am glad this case has had some national attention because there are many missing persons cases that do not get that exposure.

 

[eileenhawkeye]

I'm certain there is more than one.

Maybe but there are 1 billion people on FB and when you do a search for HE, only 4 come up. Heather, the other girl in the area, and 2 other people. Whitepages.com only brings up missing Heather Elvis. Peoplefinder.com only brings up 1 Heather Elvis.

Approaching Thread #12, and still no Heather. Will there ever be any concrete answers in her case?

Just FYI, our Heather has FB friends who are also friends with the "other" Heather. I think her sister might even be one of the mutual friends.

But this is the original report according to the time and details. So, it appears the call came in for an abandon call, but turned out to be a missing person. When they got to the police station, the abandon car call was filled out was filled out as a missing person and later closed. This is typical to get a call for one thing, but fill out the report for another. What I am confused about is why the report is closed. I checked several databases and don't see her missing in any. I know they aren't always accurate, but just wanted to mention that is well.

What critical information has LE actually released? Unless you call speaking to a news reporter "releasing information"!

The local news here has done nothing but restate what little info that LE has given them. Again, nothing investigative. Plus, they interpret it and disseminate the info as they choose and in their own way. Often construing fact or purposely leaving information out. Plus the fact that none of the news channels here have touched the facts from the police report, the accusations made on FHEFB page, or other non-MSM channels. I haven't heard one mention of OM. And, they're still saying HE was last seen at 2am. Ugh!

IMO, this case was botched from day one. There, I said it. :/

How LE handles the investigation and how the media functions are two different animals.

I have felt in the past that a presser, if for no other reason than to sort the fact from the fiction, would be useful to the public and benefit Heather. But this depends on what LE has.

If I held all the cards, or at least had some powerful ones, I don't know that I'd care much what's being said on SM, because I'd have all the pieces the public is trying to put together.

There's a lot of drama and high emotion in this case. Sometimes saying anything at all only adds to it.

I would hope there's a balance somewhere, but I think this case is very convoluted and you need a program to keep up. I doubt LE wants to enter that swirl.

It's like the philosophy seen in special forces. They answer one question and it generates five more. They clarify, or answer more questions, and pretty soon, they've stirred up a pot and given up just enough pieces of information to generate more questions and promote more speculation. So they say nothing at all.

Any news on anything relating to the Tidewater location?

 

[cluciano63]

Basically, LE made a huge blunder even mentioning the hospital visit on the report, and then made it worse by more or less pointing to the other HE who lives locally. JMO

 

[bestill]

Very discouraged about the lack of news and updates. I pray this case doesn't go stale.

I find it incredible that when checking the hospital to see if someone who could be missing is there, that you wouldn't give a date of birth.
The officer had a date of birth by the time he was contacting the hospital because he didn't know anyone could be missing until he talked to the car owner, TE.

JMO nothing is going to happen if she is not found.

Put it this way (and, I've had this conversation with myself and others)... if you were taken to an empty car of a close loved one by a cop, wouldn't you completely panic and freak out? Or, would you simply dismiss it as an ordinary, everyday situation?

I know if it were me, I sure as heck wouldn't touch the car and would be extra precocious not to step on any tire tracks or footprints. Then, I would make damn sure that the Officer contained the area until their forensic team was called in. I surely wouldn't have threw my hands up in the air and drove the car home!

I remember back when LE had publically stated Scott Peterson wasn't a suspect in Laci's disappearance. Sometimes I wonder even when information is released, how reliable is it really?
