Couple prosecutors think kidnapped woman face another charge
CONWAY, S.C. (AP) — A South Carolina couple who authorities have long connected to the disappearance of a woman five years ago have been indicted on another charge.
Online court records show a Horry County grand jury charged Sidney and Tammy Moorer with conspiracy to commit kidnapping on Friday.
Prosecutors say they can't give any details about the new charges because there is a gag order on the case.
Authorities have said the Moorers were involved in the disappearance of 20-year-old Heather Elvis in 2013.
Sidney Moorer is currently in state prison for obstructing justice after police say he lied to them as they investigated Elvis' disappearance. That conviction came after a mistrial when Moorer was charged with kidnapping Elvis.
