Thursday, February 22nd 2018

Horry County, S.C. (WPDE) — Sidney Moorer, who was found guilty of obstructing Justice in the Heather Elvis case, has a projected parole eligibility date of Oct. 13, 2018, according to records from the South Carolina Department of Corrections.

On Aug. 31, 2017, Judge R. Markley Dennis, Jr. handed down the sentence of 10 years, with credit for one year of time Moorer had already served in jail. That would have put his release date sometime in 2027.

Last September, ABC 15 reported he was eligible for parole in 2019, but that has moved up now to 2018, according to records from the SCDC.

Police investigate after children say man in van attempted to kidnap them in North Myrtle Beach

NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) – North Myrtle Beach police are investigating after two children said someone in a van tried to kidnap them over the weekend.

According to an incident report from the North Myrtle Beach Department of Public Safety, police were called to a Comfort Inn on U.S. 17 South on Saturday in reference to a possible missing child.

The officer got to the inn and saw both children were accounted for and “visibly shaken” over the incident, the report stated.

One of the children, an 11-year-old girl from Germany, said a man grabbed her by her arm and tried to pull her into the van. She was able to break free and run to the hotel, according to police.

The other child, a 12-year-old boy from North Carolina, said he and the girl were walking from their vacation home on Poinsett Street to the Turtle Mart to get some breakfast. They noticed a black van with a chrome front end and dark windows approach them and slow down, the report stated.

Both children got a “strange feeling about it” and ran and hid behind a house for five minutes. They went back to the street and continued their walk when the van reapproached again, causing both to “split in panic,” according to the incident report.

Two charged with obstructing justice in Heather Elvis missing person case

Two Myrtle Beach area men have been charged in connection with interfering with the case involving the disappearance of Heather Elvis, according to a police statement.

William Christopher Barrett, 52, and Garrett Ryan Starnes, 25, both of the Myrtle Beach area, have both been charged with obstructing justice, Horry County police spokesman Lt. Kegler said in a statement late Tuesday.

A police report says the first suspect made a post on Facebook stating that indictments were coming for a person and that the Department of Social Services were coming to take that person's children.

"This created a community reaction that diverted investigating officers," the report said.

The report also said the suspect told a witness he was investigating the incident for the victim's family. Police said in the report the questioning was an attempt to access confidential information about the ongoing law enforcement investigation.

The suspects are not charged in Elvis' disappearance, Kegler said.

The suspect also conducted an independent search of a location in Horry County that revealed potential evidence and didn't immediately report it to investigating officers, according to the report.

Kegler said in the statement that Starnes also "fabricated misleading information" regarding Elvis' disappearance, and then relayed the false information to law enforcement.

This information was then posted to a social media site, causing investigating officers to obtain legal process regarding the information which diverted them from legitimate leads, Kegler's statement and the police report said.

Both men were booked at J. Reuben Long Detention Center on Tuesday.
