LEXINGTON, S.C. (WACH) – On Wednesday night, authorities announced that search crews found a woman’s body resembling missing woman, Elena Moore.
Lexington Police Chief Terrence Green says the woman was wearing clothing similar to what Moore was seen wearing when she was last seen. Green says a tip came in leading them to the area where the body was found.
There was a heavy law enforcement presence in the Berkshire subdivision on Wednesday, as crews focused their search efforts on that area, blocking off streets and re-routing traffic.
Green says the coroner is working to identify the body and SLED is investigating the death.
The 39-year-old Moore was last seen on Thursday, June 11, on surveillance video at a Planet Fitness in Lexington, and then roughly three hours later walking in a Publix parking lot close to the gym.
Social media has been filled with concern for Moore, a known fixture in the fitness community in Lexington, ever since she was reported missing late last week. Friends and acquaintances were quick to share and re-post images of Moore online in an effort to keep people focused on her disappearance.
