CONWAY, SC (WBTW) – Sidney and Tammy Moorer were both present during Monday’s pretrial hearing in connection with the numerous motions filed by Sidney Moorer’s attorney to have certain evidence dismissed before Sidney’s trial.
Following the judge’s decision to allow expert video witness Grant Fredericks to give testimony during the upcoming trial, the Moorer’s, accused of kidnapping in the disappearance of Heather Elvis were vocal about their experience with Horry County officials.
“We need new solicitors and Horry County Police Department cause all they do is lie on people,” Tammy Moorer voiced leaving the court house after Monday’s pretrial hearing. “Horry County’s in big trouble. It could be you next, honey.”
News13’s Luke Lalonde, walking alongside the Moorers, asked their thoughts on the testimony of Fredericks being allowed in Sidney’s trial.
“I really don’t care, stated Tammy Moorer. “I know where my car was and if they hadn’t hidden the black box you would too.”
“They know where it was, too,” added Sidney Moorer. “I feel like I’m being set up.”
Tammy Moorer went on to reference “pages” where children are the topic of conversation in violent situations.
“What do you think about the pages where they’re taking these children and they’re threatening to rape and murder these little children and they think its ok?” questions Tammy Moorer. “It’s ok to be stalked by a psychopath? It’s not. It really isn’t.”
“The solicitor thinks it’s ok,” suggests Sidney Moorer. “He lets it go on. He knows about it. He’s got evidence.”
News13’s Lalonde offers the Moorers an opportunity “to talk to people if [they’d] like to.”
“No, we can’t because of the gag order that’s also illegal,” claims Sidney Moorer before getting into a nearby vehicle.
Debbi Elvis, mother of missing woman Heather Elvis, says Monday’s ruling to allow the expert witness to testify is just one piece of a larger picture.
“We kind of expected it,” reveals Elvis. “We were just worried about [the judge] limiting his testimony. I think is more what they were worried about, but I think the judge did a good job in listening this time. I think he really listened to both sides and listened to the experts and listened to what everyone was telling him.”
Elvis credited the judge with understanding the case and evidence being presented.
“I think he put it together really good. I’m glad he did research before and really knew what they were talking about, but the most important thing is that we’re still looking for information to find Heather. That’s more important than even this. This is a step in the right direction, but this won’t solve our dilemma and that’s finding Heather, so we still are asking for any kind of tips or any information or any ideas on places to search so we can find her.”
