Elizabeth Schneider Missing: The family, friends, and loved ones of Elizabeth Jade Schneider, known to many as EJ or Jade, are urgently asking for the public’s help in locating the 26-year-old woman, who has been missing since Friday afternoon.
Elizabeth reportedly walked out of the back door of a friend’s house on Darien Drive in the Red Bank area of Lexington County and has not been seen or heard from since. Her sudden and unexplained disappearance has left those who know and love her in a state of deep concern and heartbreak.
According to family members, EJ left behind her wallet, phone, keys, and clothes, raising alarm about the nature of her disappearance. At the time she was last seen, Elizabeth was wearing an oversized blue coat, a blue hat, and gray sweatpants—clothing that can be seen in the most recent photo circulating on social media. She is described as petite, with blonde hair, standing approximately 5’5″ to 5’7″, and weighing around 125 pounds.
Her aunt, who first issued the call for help online, posted:
“PLEASE SHARE! My niece has been missing since Friday afternoon. She walked out of the back door of a friend’s house on Darien Dr in Red Bank, and no one has seen her since. She left her wallet, keys, phone, and clothes behind. She was last seen wearing the oversized blue coat, blue hat, and gray sweatpants that can be seen in the picture.”
The emotional plea was soon echoed by EJ’s mother, who wrote:
“Please help me find my daughter Elizabeth Schneider! She also goes by EJ. Please share this post and contact the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department or message me personally on Facebook. EJ, we love you and are very concerned.”
In the days since Elizabeth’s disappearance, her loved ones have mobilized a tireless effort to raise awareness and bring her home. Flyers have been distributed, social media has been flooded with posts, and community members have been conducting searches and following any possible lead. The strength and unity of the Lexington community are on full display, but the need for more eyes and more voices remains urgent.
A family friend shared:
“This is a friend of mine who went missing. 😔 Please be praying for God’s protection over her and a safe return home. Her name is Elizabeth Schneider but we call her EJ. She’s in her mid-20s. The picture with the blue jacket is what she was last seen in.”
EJ is known to those close to her as a vibrant, kind, and loving young woman, someone who brings joy, laughter, and warmth into every space she enters. She has touched countless lives with her smile and compassion, and her disappearance has left a hole in the hearts of many.
“She’s a truly amazing individual,” one friend wrote. “The Lord has blessed me to have her joy and sunshine in my life. I’m sick about this. Please be on the lookout!!”
As the hours stretch into days, the family is clinging to hope and faith. They are asking everyone—whether local or beyond—to share Elizabeth’s story, keep her image circulating, and remain vigilant. Every share, every post, every prayer counts.
If you have seen Elizabeth “EJ” Schneider, or have any information about her whereabouts, you are urged to immediately contact the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department.
