South Carolina man Sidney Moorer, 43, stands trial again in Myrtle Beach in the disappearance of missing mistress Heather Elvis, 20. Prosecutors say he and his wife Tammy Moorer, 47, caused her to go missing on December 18, 2013. The defendants were originally charged with murder, but those charges were long ago dropped. You can watch the proceedings in the player above.
Moorer was first tried for kidnapping in 2016, but that resulted in a mistrial because jurors were deadlocked. He was convicted and sentenced in 2017 to 10 years in prison in a separate but related obstruction of justice case.
A lot has changed since then. His wife Tammy Moorer was convicted of kidnapping last year.
“This is a story about jealousy and deceit,” Horry County Assistant Solicitor Nancy Livesay said in her closing argument.
