Overview
- Police located an unidentified body that fits Moore’s clothing description on Wednesday after responding to a public tip and searching a wooded area near Old Cherokee Road and North Lake Drive.
- Moore, 39, was last seen leaving a Planet Fitness in Lexington on June 11 and was captured on surveillance footage later that night wearing an olive-green zip-up hoodie and black workout pants.
- The Lexington County Coroner’s Office is performing an autopsy and has not released a positive identification or cause of death pending further testing.
- The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division has been asked to assist the local death investigation and investigators say they are reviewing surveillance, phone-data requests, and other forensic leads while treating social-media reports as unverified.
- Family members reported Moore missing on June 12 and the discovery closes a multiagency search that used ground teams and drones, raising questions about how public tips and routine surveillance combine in missing-person probes and how quickly investigators can move from a search to a forensic death inquiry.
