Mystery Deepens: Officials Turn To Her Organs to Solve Mysterious Death | Elena Moore

from Drop Dead Serious With Ashleigh Banfield · host Drop Dead Serious With Ashleigh Banfield

The 39-year-old Lexington, South Carolina personal trainer vanished after being seen at Planet Fitness and was later found dead in a wooded area near a bridge. Now, the autopsy results are in, but instead of answering the biggest question, how did Elena die, they’ve left the case wide open. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the strange timeline before Elena disappeared, the bizarre Ring camera video from days earlier, the possible EMS dispatch involving a disoriented woman, and the new autopsy update showing no obvious trauma, no clear cause of death, and no final manner of death. Forensic criminologist and death investigator Dr. Laura Pettler joins Ashleigh to explain why investigators are now turning to toxicology, medical records, and histological testing of Elena’s organs to figure out what happened in those final days.
