It’s been more than a week since a Broadway dancer who delighted crowds while performing in Tony Award-winning shows such as “Hamilton” went missing, and his family pleaded Sunday for any information that could lead to his safe return.
Zelig Williams, 28, was staying with his mother in his hometown of Columbia, South Carolina, since the summer and had been hosting specialized dance workshops. Kathy Williams last saw her son on the morning of Oct. 3 and everything seemed normal when he left, her cousin Mieoki Corbett Jacobs told NBC News.
Later that day, one of her son’s friends living in New York City reached out to say they received an SOS alert on their phone on Oct. 3 indicating the dancer had been in a car crash.
Police found his car overnight in the early hours of Oct. 5 parked in a lot for the Palmetto Trail, near Wateree, South Carolina, with no signs of a crash, Corbett Jacobs said.
Zelig Williams’ family, friends and community are holding on to faith that God is with him, she added.
