Murder charges were dismissed against Sidney Moorer and his wife, Tammy, in early March. Both were charged by the Horry County Police Department with murder in the disappearance and death of Elvis, who was last seen in December 2013.

An obstruction of justice charge against Tammy and charges of indecent exposure against the couple were also dismissed this month.

Both are still charged with kidnapping, while Sidney is also charged with obstruction of justice.

Authorities had said earlier that Elvis was allegedly killed after Sidney Moorer had an affair with her.
