Disturbing Mystery: Body Found After Missing Woman’s Strange Doorbell Video Surfaces | Elena Moore
Video Overview & Insights
Breaking: A body matching Elena Moore’s clothing was found in a wooded area after newly obtained surveillance video showed the missing 39-year-old walking near Old Cherokee Road the night she vanished. Elena Katherine Moore disappeared in Lexington, South Carolina after she was last seen leaving Planet Fitness on Whiteford Way on June 11, wearing an olive-green zip-up hoodie and black athletic pants. Police later obtained surveillance video showing Moore walking through the Publix parking lot at 100 Old Cherokee Road around 9:17 p.m., still wearing the same clothes. Days later, investigators say a tip helped lead them to a search area near Old Cherokee Road, where a body was found wearing clothing that matched Moore’s last known outfit. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the strange and troubling timeline surrounding Elena Moore’s disappearance and the unanswered questions now surrounding the death investigation being handled by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division. Ashleigh also speaks with NewsNation National Correspondent Mills Hayes, who obtained bombshell Ring camera footage from about a week before Moore disappeared. The video appears to show Elena Moore confused and disoriented at a Lexington apartment complex, picking up someone else’s DoorDash order, trying to follow a homeowner inside, and later telling the homeowner, “I don’t know what I’m doing.”

Her husband was a cop; now a PI. And he didn’t report her missing until the next day? If that info is accurate, 🚩 🚩

Odd that she's wearing flip flops to work out in. Maybe she keeps athletic shoes at the gym?

6:04 OK listen I’m in recovery from alcoholism and I mean no disrespect to her, but I do believe she’s intoxicated. Her face is very red. I believe she might’ve been on some kind of bender. Or maybe on some kind of substances. She’s slurring her words. It’s like she’s trying to pretend like that’s her apartment so she could take the food and then she got busted. Was she on any kind of medication? I’ll be interested to see if they do a toxicology test on the body. Poor girl.

I have many questions. If she was vulnerable, why didn’t her husband have her location so that he could track her and see where she was at all times? Why is she wandering around for hours and hours without him realizing she’s gone? I find this to be very sad, I live in this area. 😢 also I just don’t know how I feel about people with the name Brannon 🤫🤫😳

From what I know right here! I am going to say that the husband has been drugging her to get her confused.. or if its not nefarious, then maybe they put her on the wrong dosage of heart meds.. and maybe the meds were making her loopy

Also, the spot she was found was about a 10 ft drop. No water just trees leaves down below. She was found right near north lake dr/Cherokee rd intersection

I live in Lexington. Our police SUCK!! She was found literally 1.2 miles from the planet fitness!! I believe she was having a mental health crisis. Her husband found and towed her car back home apparently. She was also in one of our mental health facilities and signed herself out the day of or before she went missing. To me, she seems like she was in psychosis, my niece went in to psychosis when my brother in law passed away and she was completely out of it, saying we were doing things and we weren't. Her husband was apparently a cop at one point and is now a PI...

So you have a young women who is confused and disoriented but you don't do anything to ensure that they make it home and you don't call the police either..
I hope they feel guilty about what they did..
More User Perspectives
Her hub looks suspicious for sure!
@sueborden1565Sondra, her friend, was speaking with Brian Entin and she disclosed that LE told her she was found deceased.
@yertletheturtleiamWhy would you report her missing a day after last seen? and your law enforcement? That’s odd
@mistycoomer4505That couple should have called the police. It would have saved her life. Most likely, in that state she was in, she was raped and murdered..
@surpriseimblackI wonder if she had an undiagnosed brain tumor. I know of this one guy who was pulled over for reckless driving. He failed the sobriety test, but his breathlizer test was negative. He was confused and they found out that he had an undiagnosed brain tumor pressing on the brain causing confusion. It could have gotten so out of control that it ceased her breathing.
@emorelandWait... she was given meds if she was in a medical place, that would mess with her head!!!! Sound like a sad case... these places giving out meds to anyone and not following them up with them!!! It bull crap!!!!! Sure she took meds they gave her, hope her husband sue them!!! Sad case😮😢... sounds lime suicide 😢
@brendaclauer2307Ashley you need to have more confirmed info before you speculate. I’m from Lexington this time. Go to Wolfs gym (where she is a personal trainer at)
@MorghanLeaphartWhaleyI feel this is going to be more of a mental health thing. She looked very confused and out of breath so something unusual was going on. Maybe not a suicide but if she was wondering around got lost passed out, hit her head-so many things. I’m not gonna jump to thinking it was something terrible-yet
@jenniferm3386Door dash thieves get justice. Husband too old and cold. He found her car - he could be on camera dropping it off. He's probably gambled their money away. Maybe she was just hungry.
@ritagriffin747Husband is a baby snatcher!
@ritagriffin747Her friend on Brian Entin said she had heart issues.
@lisacali1girldreamin826Seems that there may be some psychiatric medications involved based on how confused and wandering she had been and a possible opportunistic attack when she wandered into the woods. God bless her and her family!
@jecca1994It could be someone lured her to that apt. with a text to her phone about a door dash order, that's why the name Moore was confusing her. That door dash irder is very suspicious
@deannefabro6970Somebody knows something.
@dmix2263Seems she was hoping for a tip??
@dmix2263I once had a kid come in for altered mental status (teen athlete). Everyone accused him of being on drugs or alcohol. Turns out he was dehydrated and had low glucose. When your electrolyte levels are imbalanced, it can cause neuro symptoms. I wonder if this is what happened to her? 😢
@MelanieCortezzzNeighbours Should Have Called The POLICE!!! SEE SOMETHING SAY SOMETHING!!! This Could Have SAVED HER LIFE!!!😢
@brendaeaves1079Thank you, Ashley🌹 for brightening us up-to-date on this missing lady Elena…. I have been following this very sad case and things don’t look that great😢 For her 🙏🏻💛…….

Perhaps she bought drugs from the guy at that apt... or at one near there. She seemed comfortable enough to follow him in.... she was probably shocked that he wasnt alone as enough food for 2 people, which could explain why she kept looking at the receipt. perhaps she expected him to be alone. Was she waiting around to run into hubby... instead she somehow had a confrontation with the wife later... something seems like maybe drug related.
@cbrooks9817Most Lowe's have Flock cameras now so there should be something
@candyd76Could be dirty cop
@nativespiritacMaybe a car tried to run her over and she jumped down out of the way and who knows maybe the driver pulled off the road and then attacked her
@nativespiritacThey are protecting him he's one of them
@nativespiritacShe could have been drugged. I was drugged one time, I was confused, lost, and walking around trying to figure out where I was. I thought I was in Georgia where I once lived but I was a few blocks from my house. 😢
@CatMumzieTyvm Ashleigh, you are the only one that says what alot of us are thinking! You are so intelligent and I love your show. Imo she didn't off herself. On Jun 4th she called her friend that she had told may 31st she feared for her life. She looked scared on that doorbell and just seemed like she wanted to be around people to be safe from whoever could have been stalking her.
@Dreame-f9vShe was schizophrenic. Thought that someone was following her. She had checked herself into a facility, but her insurance ran out. Allegedly.
@ruthymeadormungo2758Most likely mental illness ! Poor thing!!!!😭😭 I have a grown son who has a diagnosis and it's just so heartbreaking but he behaves similar when he comes off his meds he acts bizarre just like that he's a harmless person but yet people are put off by that odd behavior and I don't blame them.. I always tell my son please stay on your meds I beg you!!!! 🙏🏻😢
@zoey907Yeah, that ring doorbell footage showing her just randomly walking up to the apt, and then trying to (looks like) her trying to come inside, sure shows her either under the influence or having a mental episode. Thank goodness for doorbell cameras!
@landjmullMissing Trainer. That day.. when she was seen in the apt building and then again later.. seemed out of breath.. I think she was running from someone and managed to get innthriugh the security of a building and had to make it look like she was there legit to other tenants. Also, when she took a step went into the strangers apt , It may be because her flight or fight instinctively wanted to get into an apt and hide from whoever may have been after her. Then she realized crap, wth am I doing. The reason I think this is because I was being chased once and I instinctively ran into a bank and right through the flappy door to behind the counter and straight into the managers office and hid behind the door!! Of course security came and got me but it was completely irrational to I lookers. ..but ‘the guy’ ran right into the bank and stood looking.. it was a good thing I had gone straight into the managers office as it was enough to deter.
@NancyBrownridge-n4wMaybe she was being drugged
@gentlethunder777Let's face it, 99.999% of Americans have no idea what they are doing 😮 watching a game they call soccer where stupid people are kicking a ball into a bucket 😮 why is nobody getting them help?
@joe-9256Heat exhaustion
@LoniWaggonerI am a big advocate of mental health and her husband is probably added to her mental suffering and those two characters instead of helping her told het to leave the stairs and she is not even ashamed of herself . My parents raised me to have empathy compassion unlike what I have experienced growing up here so differently then my values or my parents values
@AriaRaofiShe did look flushed and I think maybe she had a mini stroke
@girln1dog667Wait so who at that apartment complex is being sued by the husband’s law firm? This seems very process-servicery
@sarabara29Treatment center probably put her on inappropriate meds, then she became very vulnerable …
@tracyp2496Was Elena at that apartment complex looking for someone. She checked through the doordash receipt and was scanning the neighbors packages.
