MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. – One of the two Horry County people charged in the kidnapping and death of Heather Elvis had their newly-set bond paid Friday afternoon, and was released from J. Reuben Long Detention Center just after 6 pm.

Tammy Moorer, who is charged along with husband Sidney, has paid the $100,000 bond, was caught on News13 video walking out of jail where she and her husband have been held for the last 11 months.

Tammy Moorer walked quickly and ignored questions as she got into the back of an awaiting black SUV and took off.

The move comes after a nearly 2-hour hearing Friday morning in which a judge in Charleston set bond at $100,000 for each of the Moorers in the murder and disappearance of Heather Elvis after state prosecutors admitted they have no direct evidence against Sidney and Tammy Moorer.

Attorneys for the Moorers — who had been held on no bond for nearly a year — argued in court Friday morning for a bond in the case of the murder and disappearance of 20-year-old Heather Elvis of Myrtle Beach.

Sidney Moorer, age 38, and Tammy Moorer, age 42, are charged with kidnapping and the death of Elvis, who disappeared in mid-December 2013.

Sidney Moorer remained in jail Friday. His attorney, Kirk Truslow, said “Based upon the amount of the bond posted, it was subsequently determined that given the fact that the Caison property used to secure Tammy Moorer’s bond would be of sufficient value to also be used to secure Sidney Moorer”a bond. Therefore, we are currently doing the additionally required paperwork to post the mentioned property to secure Sidney Moorer’s bond.”

But, also at the hearing, Heather Elvis’ parents told Judge R. Markley Dennis that they have had a “massive amount of threats” from the Moorers, their family and supporters — and that those threats have continued.

“We’re asking you to continue bond in the amount that it can continue to protect us,” Debbi Elvis, Heather’s mom, told the judge.

Judge R. Markley Dennis set certain circumstances to the bond, including GPS monitoring and keeping the Moorers at least 5 miles from the Elvis home. Denis also said that the Moorers must have no direct or indirect contact with the Elvis’ and warned about Facebook.

“Facebook and those things are a scourge on our society,” Dennis said. “Stay away from them!”

During the hearing, state prosecutor Nancy Livesay argued to keep the Moorers in jail, but admitted under questioning from Judge Dennis that the state has no direct evidence in the case against Sidney or Tammy Moorer.

Sidney Moorer’s attorney asked for a personal recognizance bond earlier in the hearing in Charleston on Friday morning.

Kirk Truslow, the attorney, said that while out on bond Sidney Moorer would live in Berkeley County at his vacant grandmother’s home.

The attorney said that Sidney would need a personal recognizance bond because he has no money and has “lost everything” since being jailed 11 months ago.

Tammy Moorer’s attorney Greg McCollum argued that Tammy Moorer could use collateral in her mother’s home for a bond up to about $300,000.

Horry County prosecutor Nancy Livesay asked for a continual of the bond denial and argued that the Moorers are not integrated into society and that their children are home-schooled and are not also integrated.

Livesay said that the Moorers also travel frequently and could easily flee with their 3 children because the Moorers did not have jobs that tied them to the community.

The state also argued that the Moorers are a threat to the community because they are heavily armed, but later admitted there is no direct evidence in the case.

During a more than 35-minute talk to the judge, Sidney Moorer’s attorney Kirk Truslow argued that while Sidney had lied to investigators about calling Heather Elvis, he quickly then told the truth and only briefly lied because his wife, Tammy Moorer, was present for the interview.

The attorney also said that testing on original evidence from months ago has since revealed no link to Sidney Moorer and that recent evidence was a mistake. That more recent evidence was supposedly taken from Sidney’s truck, but later turned out to have been taken from Heather Elvis’ car.

Sidney’s attorney, Kirk Truslow, also argued that social media comments to Heather Elvis came from Tammy Moorer, not from Sidney.

The attorney also said that links to Sidney Moorer’s truck have turned out to be false.

“What they led the court to believe was that we have videotape of Sidney Moorer’s truck driving to the boat landing and back within the relevant time period.”

But Truslow argued that the wrong authorities — not the FBI — enhanced the video and it is not discernible as Sidney Moorer’s truck.

“It seemed to be a home run at the first bond hearing, but it can’t be seen as my client’s truck,” Truslow said.

Also at the first bond hearing, the Horry County Police Chief indicated that they may not be safe in the community because of “ill will generated in the community,” Truslow said.

“Their safety is not a factor about whether they receive a bond…They will take their chances… ” Sidney Moorer’s attorney said.

Tammy Moorer’s attorney Greg McCollum argued that Tammy has lived in Horry County her whole life and has no criminal history.

Prosecutor Nancy Livesay argued that all of the facts presented at the initial bond hearing are still valid.

A new bond hearing for an Horry County married couple charged in the death and disappearance of a young Myrtle Beach woman is now set for 10 am Friday in Charleston.

The hearing — which is expected to also include a motion to remove the ‘gag order’ in the case — had been planned earlier Friday morning for Sidney and Tammy Moorer in the slaying of Heather Elvis.

Sidney Moorer, age 38, was accused of having an affair with Elvis, of Myrtle Beach, before she vanished just a few days before Christmas 2013.

The woman, who was 20-year-old when she disappeared, is still missing.

The new hearing comes after a secretive search was conducted exactly 2 weeks ago on a street where the Moorers lived before being held without bond on murder charges 11 months ago.

Tammy Moorer’s defense attorney Greg McCollum told News13 that he plans on a discussion of a gag order removal at the same hearing.

Despite the gag order, Richardson last week that the search 2 weeks ago on the Moorers’ street was connected to an “ongoing investigation.” (Click to read related story)

For now, little to no information can be released about the case as it moves forward toward a May 11 trial date.

Close to 800 people are expected to be called in the jury selection phase for Tammy Moorer, age 42, and Sidney Moorer, age 38.

Investigators found Elvis’ car on Dec. 19 2013 at Peachtree Landing in Socastee, but she was nowhere to be found.

Authorities say before Elvis went missing, she and Sidney Moorer had been involved with each other.

In a March bond hearing, The prosecution outlined communications between the Moorers and Heather Elvis starting as early as November and up until the night Heather vanished on December 18.

The prosecution noted a relationship between Sidney Moorer and Heather Elvis blossomed in June 2013 and ended in October when it was discovered by Tammy Moorer. When Tammy Moorer learned of the relationship, she contacted Heather Elvis multiple times, sending explicit photos and messages to Heather, the prosecution said.

The discovery of the relationship between Sidney Moorer and Heather Elvis prompted Tammy Moorer, according to prosecutors, to allegedly go to work with her husband, monitor all cell phone activity and handcuff him.
