Dead fitness trainer’s taxi ride becomes key piece of puzzle in mysterious disappearance, death: docs

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.
