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.

That vile POS is still wasting oxygen?
Who let this predator out of prison?
Run with a gun might not be everyone’s style, a taser, knife or mace , anything. Her phone, which was found smashed, was her protection.
“Abston would not tell authorities where she is.”
A car battery and some jumper cables to his nuts will change that.

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.
Disgusting.
Yeah, a pretty blonde woman jogging at 4:30AM in Membabwe. Great idea.
Unfortunately , I think we will find that she paid for this woke naïveté with her life, and her last hours were not pleasant ones.
And I’d also bet that before this incident, she was a vocal supporter of BLM.
I was pretty good in math in school.
This must be New Lefty Legal Math.
If I was the husband/family, I'd find the legal operatives responsible for this guy being out on the street, and give them some math lessons.
Poor girl.
May she rest in peace.
And shame on everyone who blamed her husband.
I refuse to call them judges or prosecutors any more.
Dobermans will work and the farther the SOB runs the longer it takes for you to slowly walk up to call the dog off. Slow walk is good to cool down from a jog.
Please, please, don’t blame the victim.
That’s death.
Urban myth. 12vdc will do naught. Vice grips and a propane torch on the other hand...
So many ways so little time.
where is Jack Bauer when we need him ??!!
.
The story goes away quickly now.
None of the year long prognostications of where her husband left her.
really stupid. no concealed carry or mace probably
With no other information the husband is the most likely suspect. That's based on data.
Perhaps you've never known a woman abused and killed by her husband. I, unfortunately, have known at least wo.
I would tell them to remember, red is positive and black is the negative. And to use those jumper cable clamps so they get a good connection.
I’m pretty radical when it come to things like this.
If they know they have their man, I’d give him 30 minutes to
give it some thought.
At the end of the 30 minutes, if he didn’t want to tell the
location of her body, I’d bring in the modified paper cutter
and ask which finger he was will to sacrifice first.
Then I’d use the paper cutter on it, and let him know he
had ten more minutes before the next choice would be made.
Guys like this are generally big cowards. They can dish
it but they can’t take it.
In this case they have him dead to rights.
What’s the hold up? You’ll know where he left her in less
than 30 minutes, almost guaranteed.
