Court order reveals details on how SC couple died

Posted: Updated:

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (AP) — A court order declaring a South Carolina couple dead provides more details pointing to a suspect as their likely killer and dispels notions that they disappeared on their own, a newspaper reports.

The Island Packet of Hilton Head reported Sunday that the order issued last month by a Georgia judge came in response to a request from the heirs of John and Elizabeth Calvert that the couple be declared dead.

The Calverts were last seen on Hilton Head Island on March 3, 2008. An accountant killed himself after being questioned in their disappearance. Dennis Gerwing's employer said he embezzled $2.1 million from the couple and seven other companies.

The judge's order provides details not previously made public as well as amplification on aspects that have been reported.
