Police aren’t any closer to finding out what happened to Elena Katherine Moore…
As we’ve been following, the South Carolina personal trainer went missing early this month in a mysterious circumstance. After she left her usual Planet Fitness one afternoon, cameras caught her wandering into the woods behind a Lowe’s store, and that was the last time anyone saw her alive.
Sadly, after a search, the Lexington Police Department announced on Friday they’d found a body that matched the description of Elena. They also said the body was wearing the same clothes she was when she was last seen. The body had been recovered in the woods just like she was last seen wandering into, as well.

We were waiting on autopsy reports, which have now officially come in, but this isn’t an update with closure. The official report from the Lexington County Coroner has just raised more questions about what happened.
According to the coroner, Margaret Fisher, the examination revealed no physical struggle. No bruising, cuts, gunshot wounds, stab wounds, blunt-force trauma, strangulation, or other external injuries. Histological studies and toxicology screenings are still underway, so maybe those will give us some answers. But right now, everything is still shrouded in mystery.
Until those final reports come back, the manner and cause of Elena’s death remains unclear. How sad.
Our heart continues to be with her family and loved ones. May they get some clear answers soon.
