Hey there, 2020 listeners. This is Deborah Roberts, co anchor of 2020. We've got a new spinoff series we think you're going to want to hear, so we're making it available for you right here on our podcast. It's called bad romance. Have a listen.

Am I ever gonna listen you?

Am I ever gonna love again?

She works at a bar. He was the maintenance man. Their affair is sudden, intense. But there are three people in this relationship, and late one night, one of them disappears and there's no trace.

Am I ever gonna love, gonna love, gonna love again?

Am I ever gonna love, gonna love.

Gonna love again.

The swamps of Orie County, South Carolina, are like a black hole. Peacefree boat landing is a dark, desolate place. There is no reason for a car to be there. Abandoned in the middle of the night in these swamps, anything can happen. Anything can disappear, even a body. A few miles from the dark swamps are these pristine beaches and the bustling boardwalks of the South Carolina coast. Myrtle beach is about 75 miles of beach, white, sandy beaches.

We get 20 million tourists a year. The actual permanent population of Myrtle beach is more like around 30,000. So this is still a really small town.

When I first came down to Myrtle beach to report on this story, one of the things that I noticed first was this great divide between the tourists on the coast and the locals who live west of the intercoastal inland. And it was there that in December of 2013, a young woman, just 20 years old, Heather Elvis, disappears.

When people talk about Heather, they smile because she was so full of personality. She lit up a room when she walked in. She was precious. She had a wonderful life. She has a beautiful life. She lived it the way she wanted.

We've always been a tight knit family. Everybody does for everybody else.

She loved makeup. She wanted to be in front of the camera and behind the camera and design everything that she wore in front of the camera.

Heather Elfis worked at a sports bar here called the tilted kilt.

Tilted kilt is an irish scottish version of hooters. So the girls wear kilts. They have tvs everywhere. They have a whole bunch of different beers on tap. Heather might have come off abrasive to some people, but she was very real. When you're young in Myrtle beach, you don't think bad things are going to happen.

Way before dawn, a week before Christmas, Oregon County Sheriff's deputy Ken Canterbury is on a routine patrol near Peachtree landing when he catches sight of a parked car. Cars don't usually park here.

He checks the vehicle. There doesn't appear to be anything out of the normal. So he then gets back and continues patrolling.

The next day, someone reported that car as a suspicious vehicle because of the length of time it had been.

Sitting at Pete's reboot landing, officer Canterbury runs the tag. He finds it belonged to Terry Elvis.

I had a knock at the door. It was a county police officer, and he was asking if we were missing a green Dodge intrepid. Oh, yeah, that's Heather's car. And then he goes on to explain that it's been found at Peachtree landing, apparently abandoned. He said, let's ride down and take a look. Mr. Elvis immediately suspected something was wrong. He knew that that was his daughter's only mode of transportation. It had no business being at that landing. She never went to that landing.

I was just sitting there, twilling my thumbs and waiting, calling Heather's phone. It was going straight to voicemail, which is way out of character with Heather.

It really didn't hit me. Where's Heather? Until he started looking through things.

Clothes, art, shoes, purses, makeup, you, name. It was in her car. But they don't find her phone. They don't find her wallet. They don't find a pocketbook.

Just looking into the woods to see if there's anything out of place. And everything looked normal. My panic had really set in. Heather's never done anything like this before. Something's wrong. What's wrong? That's when police began piecing together the last known movements of Heather on the night she disappeared. So December 17, Heather went on a date with Steve Schraldi.

Steven and Heather had gone to high school together. She was looking forward to that date very much.

Steven says they went to dinner at a place called Bandito's. After dinner, they went to Steven's house briefly to watch a movie. His mother corroborates that police across the country know that in any missing person's case, the first 48 hours are absolutely critical. Right now, they're leaving no stone unturned. And as part of this initial investigation, they send an officer over to the tilted kilt to see if Heather had missed work. One of the first things that investigators hear from Heather's coworkers is that there is a different man who they should be talking to other than the man Heather went on a date with the night before.

The manager said, you really need to call Sydney Moore. There had been a relationship between the two of them.

Sydney Moore, back in 2013, was a night maintenance man at the tilted kilt, which is where he met Heather. Elvis.

Heather and Sydney started talking. She noticed that he was good looking, he had a good attitude, and she went for it.

Now, he may have been good looking, but he was 37, which made him 17 years older than Heather. Elvis, what was the actual nature of their relationship?

I mean, most people would call it a sexual relationship, but from my opinion of talking to her, they were in love. Sydney and Heather were having sex all the time, anywhere that they could.

There were allegations that there was sex in the restaurant nearby during work hours.

Everything else, I guess Sydney just made her happy. When they were together, I knew that she was talking to a boy named Sydney, that he was sweet and she was smitten. I had no idea he was married. Heather received a phone call, and she said, I know you're with my husband.

Betrayal, jealousy, someone who's going to pay. The presidential primaries are getting underway. Voters in the early states, Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, are weighing in on who they want to see on the presidential ticket in 2024. Will Americans settle on a rematch between Biden and Trump, or will there be an upset? I'm Galen Drewk, and every Monday and Thursday on the 538 Politics podcast, we break down the latest news from the campaign trail. We sort through the noise and zoom in on what really matters using data and research as we go. That's 538 politics. Every Monday and Thursday, wherever you get your podcasts, is there anything you want to say if she happens to be watching right now? Heather, if you're watching this, if you can see it, if you can hear it, we miss you. We want you home.

Originally, this case was just assigned out as a missing person. We did not know or have any reason to believe a crime had been committed. In the beginning, the car showed no sign of a struggle. There was no blood, no broken glass, nothing to believe that a crime had been committed.

However, they do know that she was having an affair with a married man who also worked at the tilted kilt by the name of Sydney Moore.

When you're in love, you're in love. When you're 20, you don't always necessarily think through all of those things.

Sydney Moore was 37 years old. He had three kids, and he was married to a 40 year old woman named Tammy. She was nearly twice Heather's age. The affair between Sydney Moore and Heather Elvis was the worst kept secret in Ore county.

It wasn't a secret to those that worked at the know. We all knew about it.

It comes out that three months into the relationship, Heather's co workers had played a prank on her.

One day two of the girls decided to call the tilt a kill and pretend to be Tammy, Sydney's wife, and said, this is Tammy Moore. I know about you and my husband. I need you to stop right now. And when Heather got that phone call, she totally freaked out.

After that prank co workers say Sydney stops coming around the tilted kilt. About a month later, the phone rings. Only this time, it really is Tammy Moore.

It was Tammy on the other end, essentially like, I know you've been sleeping with my husband. Sydney got on the phone and said you were just some girl that spread your legs and that he just used her for a booty call. Heather was crying because they broke up and she was very upset about it.

After Tammy found out about the affair, she was absolutely livid. She did call Heather a lot. Text Heather a lot.

Someone's about to get their beat down.

Heather was legitimately terrified.

You can tell me who you are right now, or I will find out another way.

And what did they say? Do you remember?

Oh, she was threatening her. Hey, sweetie. You ready to meet the missus? Basically just letting her know that she was there and she knew.

And what did she say? Are you ready to meet the missus? That doesn't sound that bad.

Well, she did mention something about Sydney taking his last breath. Your is about to take his last breath.

Tammy Moore was definitely the more domineering part of that couple. She told Sydney where to work, when to work, what to do. If I would classify Sydney as anything in that relationship, it would be utterly submissive.

Tammy was relentless. She was sending pictures of her and Sydney performing sexual acts. Videos of the two of them together. I guess kind of to taunt Heather.

Heather didn't shy away from responding.

I think you're a little obsessed with me. Nah, it was a boar. Really? So that's why you're still childishly texting me from your cheating husband's phone? Your skank needs to leave me alone.

Were you concerned for Heather or was Heather concerned? After those text messages came in, her.

Demeanor completely changed over the next few weeks. She was very paranoid. In September 2013, Heather wrote on her Twitter page, once upon a time, an angel and a devil fell in love. And it did not end well. She probably was referring to her and Sydney. Heather just kept saying, leave me alone. Leave me alone. I don't want anything to do with this. And finally, the call did stop. By the beginning of December, there was no communication between Heather and the moors. Heather was really looking forward to her future after putting everything to rest with Sydney.

Remember the night she disappears. Heather's on a date with a friend from high school. But investigators think the affair with Sydney Moore is worth checking out.

Show the police immediately. Go to Sydney house. They talk with him in December 20, early morning.

When's the last? Either last night or night before. I can't remember. What's your relationship with her? There is no relationship. There was a relationship. I broke it off.

Look, I'm over her. Haven't reached out to her. I don't know where she is. I've had zero contact with her.

At any point, did you go down around the peach tree landing area? No. So what do they have to go on? There's no real physical evidence at Peachtree landing. So investigators turn to cell phone records from that night, and there are a bunch of calls to and from a payphone outside a gas station. It's a number Heather has never called before. Heather dials that payphone back nine times. The only reason she could possibly be calling that phone nine times that she's never heard of before is to get the other person that just talked to her back on the line.

They find that the payphone has surveillance video. It was very grainy. You see an individual. He owned the payphone over 5 minutes. Even though they didn't know who it was, they had evidence then that the payphone had been used. They call Sydney Moore back.

Ore county police begin questioning Sydney about his whereabouts on December 18. And he tells them that he and his wife Tammy were going around doing errands, and at one point, they stopped at a Walmart. It was at Walmart, actually, Myrtle Beach Walmart. Was your wife with you the whole time? Yeah, she was with me the whole time. They asked him about the pay phone call. Had you used any other phones that night? Your wife's phone? No. Did you make any pay phone calls? No, I still have pay phones. Who makes a phone call today from a payphone? Sydney Moore has a cell phone. Tammy Moore has a cell phone. And Tammy Moore used that cell phone to great length to harass and essentially stalk Heather. Elvis. They were calling from a payphone to hide the call. There was a phone call made to Heather that night from a pay phone at the gas station on 10th Avenue. But we have video from that. Okay. Did you try calling her? Just a minute. A second. You sure? Maybe. How about we start again? I did. I called her from a pay phone. What did you say?

I asked her to please leave me alone. It sounded like a very innocent explanation. But Heather's roommate, Brianna, tells police a very different account of that phone call.

At 144 in the morning, she called me. She was hysterically crying, and she said, sydney called me. She told me that he said he left his wife and that he was sorry and that he wanted to see her and be with her. And I told her, don't do it. By the end of the phone call, I was under the assumption that she wasn't going to meet Sydney. That's when everything starts moving in a very different direction.

There is no way this story is going to end well. After interviewing Heather's roommate, Brianna, about that conversation that Sydney and Heather had on the payphone, police begin by reconstructing the movements of Tammy and Sydney that night. They begin by pulling security video from that Walmart in Myrtle Beach. Sydney spent approximately 9 minutes inside that Walmart, then went and got back in the truck where Tammy was waiting outside. After that, they drove directly to the payphone, where you see Sydney make the call to Heather Elvis.

Day 20. In the search for missing 20 year old Heather Elvis, dozens of cars and horse trailers line the heavily wooded area.

While the police look at the Walmart and pay phone surveillance videos, everyone in town seems to be out searching for Heather. Well, everyone but Sydney and Tammy because they're busy trashing Heather on social media.

Tammy Moore put out a Facebook post shortly after she went missing, calling her a whore, saying these terrible things.

We've all heard the term a woman scorned, right? And that's what Tammy Moore was. But when you see these posts, the way she's hounding this 20 year old kid, it's disturbing. Using Heather's phone records and her Gmail account, investigators begin to piece together her movements after that phone call from Sydney. At 01:35 a.m. Heather ends up calling his cell phone several times between 03:17 a.m. And 03:21 a.m., finally, he picks up and the two have a conversation for about 4 minutes. And it's at that point that Heather gets in her car and begins driving. We trace Heather's phone all the way to Peachtree boat landing, and once she.

Gets to the landing, she's again calling Sydney Moore 3373-383-3934 it was four phone calls right in a row.

This is why this is important. Because while Heather was making those phone calls, video surveillance cameras along the route to peach tree landing also show a black pickup headed in the same direction. Right there is the camera that caught what the FBI and the prosecutors say is that Ford F 150 going south towards Peach tree landing. When you look at a map. It's immediately clear that driving Highway 814 and Mill Pond Road is the quickest way connecting Peach tree landing and Tammy and Sydney Moore's house. In fact, they're only 4 miles apart. There's nothing else at the end of that road but peach tree boat landing and Heather Elvis. At 03:41 a.m. Is when Heather's cell phone goes dead.

Heather's phone dies, and then you see the truck immediately coming back across the same two cameras heading back to the moore's residence.

So, assuming that whoever was doing this was roughly driving the speed limit, they only had about 60 seconds at Peach Tree landing to do whatever they were going to do and get back on this road in time to be captured by those surveillance cameras. At 03:45 a.m. At the time, Sydney.

Moore and Tammy Moore owned a 2014 Ford 150 truck, Orie County Police Department found there was only one. And it was Sydney Moore who also happened to be the only person that lived that close to the landing, owning that truck originally. When the officer showed up at Tammy and Sydney Moore's house on December 20 of 2013, they noticed that there were cameras up outside the house. However, once they went back, they found out that the surveillance system in there was a new system and that it had not recorded anything. On December 18 of 2013, they had.

No idea what was on the new system, but they knew that out of an abundance of caution, they needed to seize that system. Investigators also scoured the Moore's black pickup truck, where they make an important discovery. The truck is equipped with a GPS tracking system, which has been manually deactivated. It's like a camera sim card. You push down, it'll pop out. When you take it out, warnings will show up all over your vehicle. So it could not have been a mistake.

It had only been taken out once, and that was the night she went missing.

According to prosecutors, it's a bombshell piece of evidence, the case of a young woman who simply vanished.

Two people have been taken into custody.

Both Sydney and Tammy Moore are being held here at the J. Ruben long detention center. Two months later, the police, they arrested Sydney Moore and Tammy Moore and charged them with murder and kidnapping immediately. In this case, the defendants, the victims, everyone went to social media. It was like wildfire. It spread exponentially in a matter of hours. I never experienced anything like it, where there were so many so called facts that came from somewhere but did not come from a police investigation. To quiet all the chatter, the judge grants a gag order. The order prohibits all parties, including defendants, prosecutors and law enforcement agencies from speaking to the media.

It was just a very traumatic time, so we were in a fog.

So initially, when the Moors were arrested, they were charged with murder in addition to kidnapping. That murder charge was later dropped. I assume, given the lack of physical evidence in this case, no body, no blood, no murder weapon, that it would have been hard to prove for the state, prosecutors decided to try Sydney and Tammy separately. So Sydney goes on trial first in 2016 for the kidnapping of Heather Elvis. Now, prosecutors are not required to show motive when they try a case, but they do understand that motive often helps juries understand the background and what's really going on. And in this particular case, prosecutors were not going to disappoint that jury. And the motive they do bring to the jury is pretty startling. In the weeks before Heather Elvis goes missing, she puts on noticeable weight.

She went from an a cup bra to a b cup bra, then a.

B to A-C-I mean, that's the kind of thing that typically happens when someone is pregnant.

Yes, definitely.

And remember that errand that Sydney ran at the Walmart the night Heather disappeared? He made two purchases and he paid in cash. If she is pregnant with Sydney's child, it changes everything.

The trial of the man accused of kidnapping Heather Elvis is now underway.

More than three years after Heather Elvis vanished in a corner of South Carolina. Sydney Moore is facing trial on kidnapping charges. But prosecutors know convincing a jury will be an uphill battle.

There was no direct evidence to say it was Tammy and Sydney Moore. Everything we had was circumstantial.

But prosecutors do have that video of Sydney shopping at Walmart.

On that video, it shows Sydney Moore in his truck, f 150, driving to a handicapped parking spot, exit his vehicle, walk into the Walmart. Receipt showed that he had purchased a pregnancy test and a cigarette type cigarette, and he paid cash.

The conjecture is that they are going to take it to Heather and make her take a pregnancy test. According to Sydney, that pregnancy test wasn't for Heather. It was for his wife Tammy. He insisted they were trying to have another baby. There was no hard evidence of guilt. To me, there was a bunch of bad character evidence, and there was a tremendous amount of circumstantial evidence.

Tell this jury about how old you are.

Prosecutors built what they believed was a very convincing case, knowing that asking a jury to convict based solely on circumstantial evidence is always a steep hill to climb.

I think the surveillance footage was absolutely key because it created a timeline that showed everything. All attention was on Tammy Moore and.

Willow. Thank you when the state rested, I felt pretty good about it. So we did not put up a defense at that point. I think most people thought it'd be several hours for a verdict. Right. This is a slam dunk. But it wasn't. It was news that a family and a prosecutor hate to hear. Jury is still deadlocked and will be unable to resolve it. Therefore, I'll declare a mistrial. This case will have to be tried again.

I think all of us were wondering, what now? What do we do from here?

The hung jury was a painful blow to the prosecutors and the Elvis family. And prosecutors were convinced that Tammy and Sydney were responsible. Investigators felt sure that the Moors knew more than they were telling, and they thought that maybe if they pressured them hard enough, long enough, one of them would begin cooperating with authorities. That's why prosecutors decide now to pursue an additional charge, obstruction of justice. Because Sydney had lied to police. It's over. The payphone call where he's denying it. And then, yeah, we all know he made that phone call. The jury reached a decision in only 50 minutes.

On the charge of an obstruction of justice. Guilty.

He's found guilty of obstruction of justice and sentenced ten years in prison. The alpha's family says today's verdict is the beginning, not the end. I don't think it'll be like Domino's. I think the first one fell. I think the rest will fall into place. You can't hide it forever. About two years after city's conviction for obstruction of justice, now it's Tammy's turn to face trial on kidnapping charges. Today, the trial for one of the suspects, Tammy Moore started. Tammy Moore didn't kidnap anyone. She didn't conspire to kidnap me. For the prosecution, this will not be an easy case to prove. Tammy's not in any of the video, not at the Walmart, not at the payphone. They'll need something else to connect Tammy to Heather.

When you collect evidence, police normally focus on that very tight time that she goes missing. But we started looking at a much larger timeframe.

Prosecutors tracked Sydney and Tammy's movements all over town before, during, and after Heather's disappearance. And what they found was damning.

They were chasing her, basically watching her to find out when she may be the most vulnerable. The key witnesses really were those individuals that knew that she was dating kidney Moore. And at the time, she thought she was pregnant. Do you know who she was having sex with? Sydney. Who was she scared of? Tammy. I had never been face to face with Tammy up until that point. Who's in this picture. That's Heather. And how did she feel about Sydney? She loved him. And she's staring into my eyes, and she has this way of being very, very intimidating. I mean, I get goosebumps still thinking about it. To this day.

The jury is about to hear the prosecution's theory that Tammy's rage at Heather's possible pregnancy had turned simple jealousy into a plot for revenge that would end in her kidnapping and disappearance. As much as the witnesses talk about Sydney Moore's relationship with Heather, the prosecution wants to talk about Tammy's relationship with her husband.

Tammy Moore was an extremely dominant, controlling person.

She takes his phone. He can't work at the tilted Kiltney altar. She even changed him to the bed at night. But a jury needs facts, needs proof that Tammy was involved in Heather's kidnapping. Testimony and evidence.

Everything we had was circumstantial. But the circumstantial evidence we had, I don't think could be contradicted.

Like the cell phone tracking Tammy and Sydney.

Both of their phones began following around Heather Elvis's phone after November 2.

And on the night of December 18, both Sydney and Tammy's cell phone pinged on the same tower near the payphone, proving they were together that night.

And is Tammy and Sydney's phone in the area of this payphone at 130?

Yes, they are.

Immediately after that phone call, she calls her roommate. My exact words were, do not call Sydney back. Don't do anything rash. Go to sleep, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. When is the next time that you've heard from? I haven't.

When prosecutors presented video surveillance footage showing that Ford f 150 driving back and forth from Peachtree landing just before and just after heather disappears, they were actually able to call a person who teaches forensic video analysis at Quantica. The work that we do include the help with questions of primary identification.

Is it your opinion today, after looking at everything you've looked at, that indeed, it was the same truck as the gnome truck, which belonged to Tammy Moore?

Yes. The state rests. But the defense has a surprise for them. When the state rested, they excused the jury. It was pretty clear Tammy wanted to say something. All right, and do you wish to testify to this, Tam?

I do not.

When she said, yes, I want to testify, there was a gasp in the room. Any prosecutor will tell you that's an amazingly big risk, but not as big as the risk she takes by sitting down with 2020 in violation of a gag order that had been imposed on her. And Tammy didn't want her attorney present. There are people who say that you were the pants in the family, that you were really the powerhouse here.

The man that makes the money is the one that's running the house. I paid the bills.

After he had the affair with Heather, did you actually handcuff him to bed?

Never.

Were you angry enough that your husband cheated on you? That you were ready to kidnap?

Absolutely not.

It seems that the prosecution, to some degree, thinks that you are the linchpin here, not Sydney.

They change it according to what they need to say. These were Facebook posts. Triple coupons. Follow. School's all done.

So it looks like you are putting together a timeline.

It starts with early in the night at 147. My sister texts me 310. I pull into the driveway, I text her I got the ad and that I'm home. So I want to make sure that everything that I did was accounted for, that it's looking normal, just like any other day in my life.

It seems like everybody is lying here except you.

And that's why I am terrified of tomorrow, because I feel like this town is going to crucify me because of all the lies and all of the happened.

What happened to Heather Elvis? Today? Tammy Moore took the stand in her own defense. Tammy thinks, in my opinion, that no matter where she's at, she's the smartest person in the room.

She sat there and smiled the entire time. She batted her eyelashes and it just seemed like she was an actress putting on a play.

You know what time 800 is? 08:00 a.m. You had to worry, was the jury really going to buy this? But when she's asked directly, no smiling, nothing coy. Did you kidnap Heather Ellis?

No, I did not.

Do you know who kidnapped her?

I do not. When Tammy first took the stand, she came across very credible. I think it was the next day she called. It was a nice conversation. She was a nice girl. She wasn't mean to me, I wasn't mean to her. It took very little to push her button. And you said on 1111, I think the bitch is in high. Is that what you said? If it's on there, okay, then what makes you think the bitch is in high? I was just being a jerk at the time, I guess. Nancy, that's all I can say. Have we ever met outside of this courtroom? I don't think so. Just didn't know. When we got on a first name basis, that had to be the first defendant that had called me by my first name. I felt like that was an almost power play on her part. Me and you are equal. And I'm going to be controlling the temperament of these questions and answers. I'm asking the twelve of you to give this young woman and this family the ending that they deserve.

It was such a contentious trial. I didn't know what the jury was going to do. Heather's family is about to find out.

Thousands of you watched online for the past two weeks as the state laid out its case against Tammy Moore.

Today, the jury returned a verdict. Ladies and gentlemen, is that correct?

Yes, sir.

I just closed my eyes and kept them closed. I was almost afraid to open them.

The the jury found the defendant, Tammy Casey Moore, guilty of conspiracy, kidnapping. Even though Tammy Moore's trial is over, the Elvis family have to still go through the trial of Sydney Moore.

In September 2019. After a hung jury and a conviction for obstruction of justice, Sydney Moore thought that he might have a chance. You can't abduct somebody. You can't do all the things they're saying they're doing and not leave some trace of physical evidence. We're going to show you. But it's not the same old case. Prosecutors have something new, something pretty shocking, and it's on tape. This dvd is a copy of the video surveillance system that was in the mora's house. Remember, there was no tape from the day Heather disappeared. But this is from a few days later. And what that security camera video shows is Sydney and Tammy spending hours cleaning their f 150 pickup truck. And not just cleaning the truck, but focusing on the rear passenger side. About 30 minutes into cleaning the truck, Sydney starts a burn pile over in the side yard and starts burning some of the regs that they're cleaning with and continues throughout the whole time they're there.

To me, that just screams guilty.

The defense claimed that burning the trash is common in the moore's neighborhood. I need additional witness, your honor. The state has nothing further. After six years, multiple trials, three convictions, and a lot of heartache, the Elvis family braced themselves for the verdict. As for the prosecutors, Nancy livesay and chris helms, all they could do was wait and hope. I understand the jury. Yes. The verdict came back after 2 hours of deliberation.

We, the jury, by unanimous consent, find the defendant, Sydney St. Clair moore on the charge of kidnapping. Guilty.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Like tammy, Sydney was also sentenced to 30 years on each charge to run concurrent. And the jury, they thought it was pretty clear they tried to raise reasonable doubt, and that was their job, to raise reasonable doubt.

But they didn't do their job because I wasn't doubting. Were you?

No. I know the right people are behind bars. I have no doubt about that. The perfect solution would be to find Heather Elvis alive. But I don't believe that'll ever happen. Sydney and Tammy Moore say they are innocent of all charges. In June of 2023, they asked the South Carolina Court of Appeals to overturn their convictions for kidnapping and conspiracy to kidnap. That petition was denied. For six years now, they've met at Peachtree landing in sockesty. This event brings other families who have lost loved ones or are missing loved ones during a time of year when family really means the most.

If I could talk to Cindy, I would want to tell him that this has been just a really long nightmare for everybody. But he could make it better if he would tell the truth.

I hold out hope that I'll turn around one day at the front door and she'll walk in. Do I really think that'll happen? Deep down? No, I don't. But I'll never give up. You, um.
