Police are searching for 28-year-old Zelig Williams, former Broadway dancer from the hit musical “Hamilton,” after he disappeared under mysterious circumstances.
The Black and Missing Foundation has shared an image of Williams on their website, along with information pertaining to the active missing persons search being led by the Richland County Sheriff’s Department (RCSD). Local authorities reported that Williams was last at his residence Oct. 3 and was last seen driving in the Congaree National Park area. His vehicle has since been discovered abandoned, but there was no sign of Williams. He was dressed in black shorts, brown slides and a white t-shirt at the time of his disappearance, according to the organization’s official website.
Williams family last had contact with him Oct. 3, and officials said he requires prescription medications, according to WACH Fox 57 News. He was reported as missing Friday.
The Black and Missing Foundation alerted the public to identifying features that may make him more easily recognizable if located. They noted Williams has “a birthmark on his throat and skin pigmentation on his legs and one of his hands.”
His family has spoken out with concern for Williams, saying in a statement that it was “out of character” for him to disappear without a trace, People reported.
An incident report said Williams’ family realized there was something off nearly instantaneously after he departed home Oct. 3 at 9 a.m., according to People.
His aunt Christine McLaughlin Barber said an SOS alert was sent from his phone within ten minutes of his departure, the RCSD told the outlet.
She added that they obtained the ping via a friend from New York, and noted that the alert suggested a crash, according to People.
There has been no evidence of a crash reported, and news outlet WIS 10 reported that Sheriff Leon Lott said police suspect it’s possible that foul play is involved.
Williams starred in Broadway’s “MJ Musical,” as well as “Hamilton.” (RELATED: Former MLB Star Greg Swindell Says His Daughter ‘Has Been Found’)
