New details emerge in ‘violent’ Eliza Fletcher kidnapping
NY Post ^ | 9/4/22 | Ben Kesslen

Posted on 09/04/2022 6:34:51 PM PDT by Wayne07

[...]

Fletcher, 34, was abducted on her regular 4 a.m. jog Friday after stalked by Cleotha Abston, who’d waited for her to run past him, the police affidavit alleged. She had run from her home in the fancy Central Gardens neighborhood to a nice area near the University of Memphis campus.

Court records show Abston, 38, is a previously convicted kidnapper: he pleaded guilty to especially aggravated kidnapping and robbery in 2001. He was sentenced to 24 years and 11 years in prison respectively, although it is unclear how long he remained incarcerated and if he served his sentences concurrently.

[...]

“As the abduction was violent with, as captured on video, the suspect waiting for, then rushing towards the victim, then forcing the victim into the car, where she was confined and removed and continues to be missing, it is believed and supported by the facts and physical evidence that she suffered serious injury,” the affidavit said.

“Further, it is probable and apparent from witness statements that these injuries left evidence of blood in the car the defendant cleaned,” it continued.

[...]

“DNA found on the shoes matched DNA for Cleotha Abston” that was already in a police database, according to the affidavit.

[...]

Officers arrested him after finding him standing in the doorway of his home. “He attempted to flee but was taken into custody,” the police document said.

A witness said she saw Abston “cleaning the interior of the GMC Terrain with floor cleaner” just before 8 a.m. Friday morning and reported to police that “he was behaving oddly.” He was also spotted washing his clothes in a sink.

Police have yet to find Fletcher, and are continuing to ask for the public’s help in locating her. Abston would not tell authorities where she is.

I concur the voltage is too low and

I can tell you that from experience

I wouldn’t condone it but

dropping a deep cycle from say

bumper level onto one’s foot

can be pretty dern painful

just saying if all ya had was a battery that is.

Talk to your daughter’s folks

these demonic predators are out there

God made man and woman and Sam Colt made them equal

teach them to carry and shoot.

This was news just for the immediate family from the MPD. I received the information from a member of the family.

There was enough blood in the vehicle of the suspect that the victim would need medical attention.

She is not in any of the medical hospitals.

I’m pretty sure she is dead.

I have talked to people who are in the inner circle of the family.

They hold out she is alive.

But there was a murder case involving a city inspector who failed a building code inspection of someone I knew who was his business partner. His business partner was convicted of murder but no body was found.

There was enough blood detected with luminal at the business to conclude a murder had taken place.

The same thing here. So much blood in the vehicle. She is dead.

This thing is over, except the newly elected DA is a proponent of social justice, bail and justice reform . If this DA gives the perp a slap on the wrist the wealthy will pull their money from the city.

Then the city will die. That’s it. If he skates put a fork in the city, the people with money are moving to middle Tennessee and the Destin area. Sorry, enjoy your ghetto.

Memphis has always been a ****hole. The protagonist of the Blind Side is from Memphis. Good book and movie, by the way.

A car battery won’t work very well to shock a person. The voltage is too low. You would need to add an ignition coil to get a high voltage for shocking a person.

Pour gasoline around his feet, then keep shorting the alligator clips in front of him to give him a hint. If he still doesn’t talk, light him up and tell him you’ll hand him a (very small) fire extinguisher when he decides to tell where she is.

There was a movie, “Take That Night Train to Memphis.” Roy Acuff had a song with the same title.

This needs to air on every single television station and cable network in every break from now until Election Day and beyond.

As I said on a related thread earlier today, I sneaked a peek at the CNN (barf) website. AFTER the suspect was captured, they had the crime about 8 or 9 down on the list of crime headlines and they did not mention his name or race or show the mug shot. This is deliberate coverup by CNN. Haven't looked to see if the notoriety and public demand to know has caused a revision.

Enhanced interrogation not tried....

Right.

Someday a terrorist will know where a dirty bomb has been hidden set to go off in Philadelphia, Boston, Houston or New York.
The authorities will fully honor the rights of the terrorist and the defense lawyer will get him to stay silent.

Many thousands will die but the technicalities of the system of justice will have been honored.

The story can’t be found in my searches a few weeks ago but some Catholic nuns were in Africa doing missionary work and giving aid to sick and impoverished children and adults there. African men attached cables from a pickup truck and shocked the women repeatedly.

I know I remember those details because they upset me.
I have no idea if extras were required such as water to improve conduction or anything else.

But I remember the newspaper reports. Possibly mid to late 1960s.

Common sense isn't common.

Common sense also gets called racist and certain people choose to believe that even though it can kill them in certain cases.

Thank you for your service to our country.
Great home page.

Question: Is your tagline a quotation or your own phrase?
(tolerance becomes a crime when attached to evil).

Reminds me of:
Those who are kind to the cruel will in the end be cruel to the kind. Bible, Book of Ecclesiastes, comment in the Talmud.

The libs would scream about that, but I like that idea.

******************

Making libs scream should be at least a secondary goal of every decision actual humans make.

Sorry!

I carefully re-read the home page and saw the answer.

Pardon me.

I agree. As a stb 62 yr old female, I knew there would be fallout from the vid ganes starting in the late 90s depicting women characters kicking men character’s butts.

Biologically and physically impossible even with today’s soy boys.
Which, I might add, are a rarity amongst the gimmedat class. Most were bred to be farm equipment, now obsolete.

And now they won’t even define a woman, saying men can get pregnant! Mostly a white leftard affliction with scattered high end government job BIPOC females nodding their collective heads with a firm grip on their phoney baloney govt. careers...which comes with job security, cadillac benefits, fat salary and pension.

They should be beating the $&#* out of this POS until they get the answers they need. Then, take him to a public square and hang his ass.
