The search for a missing Lexington, South Carolina woman has entered a new phase as investigators released surveillance footage showing 39-year-old Elena Katherine Moore hours after she was last known to have visited a local gym.
Investigation Details
Moore was reported missing on June 12, 2026, after family and friends were unable to reach her. Her disappearance has sparked widespread concern throughout the Midlands, where she is known as a fitness trainer and outdoor enthusiast with deep ties to the Lake Murray community.
According to a Tuesday update from the Lexington Police Department (LPD), newly obtained camera footage showed Moore walking through the parking lot of the Publix supermarket located at 100 Old Cherokee Road last Thursday evening. Investigators said Moore was captured on video at approximately 9:17 p.m. EDT walking in the direction of Old Cherokee Road.
She was reportedly wearing the same olive-green zip-up hoodie and black athletic pants she was seen wearing earlier that evening after leaving Planet Fitness on Whiteford Way.
Additional Footage Released
In an effort to generate new leads, investigators have also released additional photographs of Moore. The images were captured by a residential doorbell camera approximately one week before she was reported missing.
Police said the photographs are being released in hopes someone recognizes Moore or remembers an encounter with her in the days leading up to her disappearance. The images originated from footage posted publicly on Facebook by a Lexington-area resident who said Moore appeared at her home while a food delivery was being made.
Moore is described as a white female standing 5-foot-7 and weighing approximately 120 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. Authorities are specifically requesting that anyone with home security video, business surveillance footage, or other information related to Moore’s whereabouts contact Detective Santoro at 803-358-7271 or [email protected].
