The search of Zelig Williams is continuing more than two weeks after the Broadway dancer went missing in South Carolina.
After authorities discovered Zelig’s car in the parking lot of a hiking trailhead more than 20 miles from his home, Zelig’s mother Kathy Williams and cousin Mieoki Corbett-Jacobs told CNN the search will expand to both sides of the Palmetto Trail.
“As a family, we’ve been searching,” Corbett-Jacobs. “We’ve searched that area ourselves on foot more than once, and now we’re looking to expand our search.”
Palmetto Trail spans the state and leads to major roads, with the trailhead where Zelig’s car was found near Congaree National Park. Explaining that the family “loves a good walking trail,” Corbett-Jacobs suggested he may have sought a nice spot for a walk.
She also noted that the family believes Zelig might have stopped taking his medications, which were prescribed for his mental health, around the time he went missing.
