Published June 17, 2026 4:04 PM PDT
Police shared a grim update in the search for missing South Carolina personal trainer, Elena Katherine Moore.
The Lexington Police Department held a press conference Wednesday, where they said they found a body wearing clothes matching the ones Elena was wearing.
LPD is still waiting on the coroner to confirm it's her. They say they're conducting a death investigation.
Authorities say they received a tip that someone saw Elena on June 11 between 4 and 6 PM. The tipster told cops they spotted her in the Old Cherokee Road area.
Law enforcement arrived on the scene at 1:30 PM Wednesday and found the body a little before 3 PM.
Elena was reported missing Thursday. She was last seen leaving Planet Fitness just after 9 PM and was reportedly spotted wandering into nearby woods.
Authorities said she was wearing an olive-green zip-up hoodie with black athletic pants when she disappeared.
As we previously reported, a close friend told TMZ that Elena was acting "paranoid" and said she was "scared for her life" during brunch a few weeks ago.
We're told she'd been frequently getting up from her seat and looking around as if she were keeping an eye out for someone.
