LEXINGTON, SC — Authorities announced Wednesday afternoon that a body matching the description of Elena Katherine Moore, a 39-year-old local personal trainer who vanished nearly a week ago, has been found.
During a press conference, Chief Terrence Green of the Lexington Police Department stated that investigators discovered the body at approximately 2:48 p.m. on Wednesday, June 17, 2026. The discovery was made after police received a citizen tip that led multi-agency teams to focus on a wooded area near the intersection of North Lake Road and Old Cherokee Road.
Chief Green noted that while a formal identification from the Lexington County Coroner’s Office is still pending, the recovered remains "fit the clothing description of our missing person."
