Summary
Since December 2013, no one has seen or heard from a beautiful 20-year-old daughter, Heather Rachelle Elvis, she seems to vanish without a trace from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Her car is found abandoned at a remote boat landing, sparking fear and speculation among the community. As her family searches for answers and the investigation unfolds, a troubling rumor of a love triangle with a married man is uncovered. And the possibility the wife is aware and allegedly jealous.
Heather goes on a first date with an old acquaintance from high school on the evening of December 17th, 2013. During the date, Heather communicates with her father, Terry Elvis, showing off her driving skills by driving her date’s stick shift car, unfortunately, that is the last time Terry hears from his daughter. Later, during the early morning hours, Heather returns to her Myrtle Beach, SC apartment and briefly speaks to her best friend on the phone. Heather’s friends and loved ones have not seen or heard from her since.
The following evening, on December 19th, Heather’s car is found parked at Peachtree Landing on the Waccamaw River. The car was abandoned, and Heather’s family and friends were unable to reach Heather after it was discovered. As a result, Heather was reported missing, and her family and friends are still looking for answers.
