A newly obtained incident report traces a South Carolina fitness trainer's final movements before she disappeared.
Elena Katherine Moore, 39, was found dead almost a week after she disappeared on June 11 after she went to a Planet Fitness gym in Lexington, South Carolina. The Lexington County Coroner's Office said on June 22 that investigators found no signs of bruising, lacerations, gunshot wounds, stab wounds, blunt force trauma, strangulation or other external injuries during a forensic autopsy.
While the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division continues to investigate what led to Moore's death, an incident report obtained by Fox News Digital has shed light on Moore's final movements before disappearing.
Moore's husband, Brannon Slice, went to the Lexington Police Department on June 12 to report his wife missing. He told officers she had been released from an undisclosed facility on June 11, before 2 p.m., according to the incident report. The facility's name was redacted in the incident report, but Sondra Campbell, one of Moore's close friends, told Fox News Digital that Moore had been released from a mental health facility at the time.
According to the incident report, someone arranged a taxi for Moore after her release, and she asked the driver to stop at a local CVS in Lexington. That stop was the last time the cab driver saw her. When Moore did not return outside, the driver went into the store but was unable to locate her.
Slice told the officer he want to the Planet Fitness where she frequently visited, where an employee told him that Moore singed in at 6:38 p.m. on the 11th. After that, Moore wasn't seen again and was found dead on June 19.
No one, including her husband, has been accused of any wrongdoing or charged with a crime. Lexington Police Department Inspector Missy Silcox told Newsweek late Tuesday that Slice "is not a person of interest at the current moment."
"She was scared for her life. She actually said those words to me," Campbell said. "Elena is one of my best friends. I've known her over probably 10 years now. We're really close like tell each other everything. She's been that person for me for a long time."
