The disappearance of the talented performer was brought to light when he left his mother's residence in South Carolina on October 3, 2024, and has not been seen since.
The next day, a sheriff's deputy stumbled upon Williams' vehicle deserted in the Palmetto Trail Parking area along Bluff Road, with no sign of the performer anywhere in sight.
Even after thorough exploration of the forested region, a river and various streams, conducted by Williams' family members, the Richland County Sheriff's Department, community volunteers, and the national volunteer group We Are The Essentials, the mystery persists without resolution.
Providing an update on Thursday (January 2), Williams' cousin, Mieoki Corbett-Jacobs, acknowledged that Zelig remained missing and expressed suspicions of a darker reason behind his disappearance.

Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott addressed the public during a press briefing in October. At the onset of the inquiry, Sheriff Lott and his team made it clear that they were keeping all possibilities open, including the potential involvement of foul play.
The family also mentioned the possibility that Williams might have discontinued his mental health medication prior to going missing.
