Urgent Search Underway: South Carolina Personal Trainer Disappears Near Wooded Area

Last week, a woman from South Carolina mysteriously disappeared after being spotted leaving a Planet Fitness gym and heading towards a wooded area, sparking a search by local authorities.

Elena Katherine Moore, aged 39, was last observed on Thursday evening in Lexington, a town just west of Columbia. According to the Lexington Police Department, she has not been seen since her departure from the gym.

Moore was recorded signing in at the Planet Fitness around 6:40 p.m. She was subsequently seen walking away from the gym towards a wooded area situated behind a nearby Lowe’s Home Improvement store. Her absence was noted, and she was officially reported missing the following day.

As a personal trainer, Moore’s unexpected disappearance is considered highly unusual, as emphasized by the police in a statement to ABC News. Her career and lifestyle choices make her sudden vanishing all the more alarming to those who know her.

Authorities continue to investigate Moore’s disappearance, reviewing her last known activities and whereabouts in hopes of finding any leads that could shed light on her mysterious vanishing.

Investigators on Friday deployed a drone and conducted a preliminary search of the area where Moore was last seen, but found no sign of her.

On Monday, Lexington police joined multiple local and state agencies in a more extensive search of wooded areas behind the Lowe’s store and Planet Fitness. The operation included assistance from the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department, South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, Department of Natural Resources and other emergency response agencies.

“No trace of Ms. Moore was found during the operation,” Lexington Police Chief Terrence Green said in an update.
