Prayer vigil on Saturday for Heather Elvis

A vigil is set for 6 to 8 p.m. Saturday for Heather Elvis at Peachtree Landing in Socastee, according to a post on the Find Heather Elvis Facebook page.

“For those of you who want to brave the rain and stop in for a few minutes, we will have a small tent and some umbrellas. I will also still have fliers, car decals and ribbons. Specific prayer request are for peace and comfort for all those impacted by this, wisdom and discernment for law enforcement, searchers and other officials, and heavy hearts for those who need to come forward with any information,” according to the posting. “Most importantly, ask God to give us anything that will lead us to Heather. Remember, we can always be joined together in prayer while in different places. There isn't anything God cannot do.”

Elvis, who was 20 at the time, was reported missing Dec. 19, 2013, after Horry County police found her car, which was registered to her father, parked at the Peachtree boat landing. Elvis’ keys, cellphone and purse were not found in the locked car and she remains missing.

Family, friends and supporters have held several candlelight vigils at the boat landing for the woman.

Horry County police have charged Tammy Moorer and Sidney Moorer with murder and kidnapping in February 2014 in connection with Elvis’ disappearance. The couple were each released on $100,000 bail in January following a hearing before Circuit Court Judge Markley Dennis in Charleston.
