‘America’s Most Wanted’ to feature murder case; Daniel William Hiers Jr

The case of a former Charleston police officer wanted for murder in the death of his wife will be featured Saturday on the television program “America’s Most Wanted.”

Goose Creek police have issued a warrant for Daniel William Hiers Jr. The body of his wife, Ludimila Hiers, was found in the couple’s home March 15. She had been shot in the back of the head while she slept.

Authorities have been looking for Hiers, 32, since he failed to surrender in Dorchester County on unrelated charges the morning of the shooting.

The sheriff’s office has warrants on charges of first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor and committing a lewd act on a minor.

The car Hiers was driving when he left the area was found this summer in Laredo, Texas. The odometer indicated the 2005 Chevrolet Aveo likely was driven straight to Texas from the Lowcountry.

“My gut tells me he’s somewhere near here,” Dorchester County sheriff’s Lt. Tom Marshall said.

Neither Marshall nor Goose Creek police Lt. Dave Soderberg think Hiers is in Texas or crossed into Mexico.

“You put a vehicle someplace where you want people to think you went, and then you go the opposite direction,” Soderberg said.
