An incident report recently acquired by our newsroom reveals the last known activities of a South Carolina fitness trainer who vanished mysteriously.
Elena Katherine Moore, aged 39, was discovered deceased nearly a week following her disappearance on June 11. Her last known location was a Planet Fitness gym in Lexington, South Carolina. According to the Lexington County Coroner’s Office, a forensic autopsy performed on June 22 found no evidence of bruises, cuts, gunshot wounds, stab wounds, blunt force injuries, strangulation, or other external trauma.
Although the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division is still probing into the circumstances surrounding Moore’s death, an incident report accessed by our team provides insight into the timeline of her disappearance.

On June 12, Moore’s husband, Brannon Slice, filed a missing person report with the Lexington Police Department. He informed authorities that she had been discharged from an undisclosed facility on June 11, shortly before 2 p.m. While the specific facility’s name is redacted in the report, Sondra Campbell, a close friend of Moore’s, disclosed to our newsroom that she had been discharged from a mental health facility at that time.
According to the incident report, someone arranged a taxi for Moore after her release, and she asked the driver to stop at a local CVS in Lexington. That stop was the last time the cab driver saw her. When Moore did not return outside, the driver went into the store but was unable to locate her.
Slice told the officer he want to the Planet Fitness where she frequently visited, where an employee told him that Moore singed in at 6:38 p.m. on the 11th. After that, Moore wasn’t seen again and was found dead on June 19.

No one, including her husband, has been accused of any wrongdoing or charged with a crime. Lexington Police Department Inspector Missy Silcox told Newsweek late Tuesday that Slice “is not a person of interest at the current moment.”
Sondra Campbell, who was close friends with Moore, previously told News Media that Moore tried to leave the relationship in the past.
Campbell said that something felt “very different” the last time she saw her on May 31.
