Zelig Williams, a beloved Broadway dancer, is still missing after disappearing three months ago. The dancer was first reported missing after leaving his mother’s house on Oct. 3, 2024, in his home state of South Carolina, per WIS 10. Twenty-four hours later, a deputy discovered Williams’ car abandoned in the Palmetto Trail Parking lot off Bluff Road with no trace of the entertainer.
Family members arranged official search parties throughout December 2024 for the dancer to no avail. On Thursday (Jan. 2), Williams’ cousin, Mieoki Corbett-Jacobs, posted an update on the search for Zelig, confirming that he hasn’t been found and shared that they believed Zelig’s disappearance was a result of something far more sinister.
“2025 is here and tomorrow will mark the 3rd month since Zelig Williams left his home heading out with a portfolio in his hand… possibly to drop it of or meet with someone briefly,” Mieoki Corbett-Jacobs typed on Facebook. “On behalf of Kathy Williams, Christine Mclaughlin Barber, Caroline Lewis Jones and our family we thank you for your unwavering support. That being said we want to provide some updates and understanding: The search will continue, but not in the areas that we’ve searched before (stay tuned for additional dates and locations in the next week or two), We do not believe that Zelig is in the water and we ABSOLUTELY believe that there is foul play related to his disappearance.”
Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott previously held a news conference in the wake of Williams’ disappearance in October. Early in the investigation, Lott and his department stated that they were not ruling out foul play.
Additionally, around this time, the family stated that Zelig Williams could have possibly stopped taking his medication for his mental health around the time of his disappearance.
For those who may have information regarding Zelig Williams and his whereabouts, his family is urging the public to contact the Richland County Sheriff’s Department at (803) 576-3000 or Crime Stoppers at crimesc.com.
