No. 1-rated “Bad Romance,” the new eight-episode limited true-crime series from ABC News’ “20/20,” returns with episode two, “No Trace,” featuring the mysterious disappearance of 20-year-old Heather Elvis. While working at a restaurant in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Heather met and became romantically involved with a married father of three, 37-year-old Sidney Moorer. When Sidney’s wife, Tammy Moorer, uncovers the affair, she begins sending Heather threatening messages. After authorities find Heather’s abandoned car at a deserted boat landing by a swamp, they charge Sidney and Tammy with kidnapping and conspiracy. Heather vanished without a trace, as her body has yet to be found, and she is still missing today. Episode two of “Bad Romance” airs MONDAY, JAN. 29 (10:03-11:00 p.m. EST), on ABC, next day on Hulu.

In addition, the show features interviews with friends and family, including Heather’s roommate, who details her late-night phone call from Heather the night she disappeared.
