South Carolina personal trainer goes missing, last spotted walking toward wooded area

A South Carolina woman vanished last week after she was last seen leaving a Planet Fitness gym and walking toward a nearby wooded area, authorities said.

Elena Katherine Moore, 39, has not been seen since she left the gym in Lexington, a suburb west of Columbia, on Thursday evening, according to the Lexington Police Department.

Authorities said Moore signed in at the Planet Fitness around 6:40 p.m. and was later seen walking away from the facility toward a wooded area behind a nearby Lowe's Home Improvement store.
