Body discovered matches missing South Carolina personal trainer’s description, police say
Key Points:
- South Carolina police recovered a body wearing clothing matching that of missing personal trainer Elena Katherine Moore, who vanished after leaving a gym last week; identification is pending coroner confirmation.
- Surveillance footage showed Moore appearing disoriented near a stranger’s home days before her disappearance, including rifling through food deliveries and mail packages in an apartment complex.
- Moore was last seen leaving Planet Fitness in Lexington and heading toward a wooded area behind a Lowe’s store; police expanded their search to nearby wooded areas and are treating the case as an active investigation.
- Moore’s husband reported her missing, described her disappearance as out of character, and is not considered a person of interest; Moore had shown signs of confusion prior to vanishing.
- Authorities are seeking public assistance with information and have involved the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division in the ongoing investigation.
