An inspector has given an update as the search continues for a missing personal trainer who vanished after leaving a gym in South Carolina six days ago.
Cops said they were not eying Elena Moore’s husband, Brannon Slice, as a person of interest as they continue to look for his 39-year-old wife.
“Mr. Slice is not a person of interest at the current moment,” Lexington Police Department Inspector Missy Silcox told Newsweek late Tuesday.
Silcox said there was no indication of foul play but did not elaborate, according to Newsweek.
Slice, who reported Moore missing Friday, is cooperating with investigators, private investigator Harry Dukes told the outlet.
Silcox’s comments came as armchair sleuths wildly speculated online about Slice, questioning why it took him “a day” to report his wife missing.
Moore was last seen leaving Planet Fitness in Lexington and walking toward a wooded area near a Lowe’s Home Improvement store at 9:17 p.m. Thursday, the Lexington Police Department said.
Moore had signed in at the gym at around 6:40 p.m. and was last seen on surveillance footage wearing the same outfit she had on at the gym, an olive green zip-up hoodie and black athletic pants, investigators revealed.
Slice reported her missing the following day, but the time was unclear.

Law enforcement, after launching a drone search, initially focused on the woods, trails, and farmland behind the Planet Fitness where she was last seen. Police have said it was not a recovery effort, but an attempt to eliminate one possible location where Moore could be.
On Wednesday, police expanded the search area to a wooded area near Lakeside Middle School, roughly a mile from where she was last seen, according to The State.
The expanded search came after a tipster reported seeing Moore walking towards the woods near the school on Wednesday morning, the outlet reported.
Police released new photographs of Moore, including images captured on a front door camera a week before her disappearance, hoping someone recognizes her and can offer information about her whereabouts.
Moore is a personal trainer at Wolf’s Fitness Center and works as a pharmacy technician at CVS, police added.
She is 5 feet 7 inches tall and 120 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.
Police didn’t immediately return a call Wednesday afternoon. Slice also didn’t return a request for comment from The Post.
Anyone with information about Moore’s whereabouts should contact detectives at 803-358-7271.
