The body found near the Memphis crime scene late Sunday has been identified as missing teacher and young mother Eliza Fletcher, the Memphis Police Department confirmed.

Fletcher was abducted while she was running near the University of Memphis early Friday morning. Agents with the U.S. Marshals Service arrested Cleotha Abston, 38, on Saturday after matching his DNA to a pair of sandals found near the scene.

Abston was charged Tuesday morning with first-degree murder, in addition to his previous charges, records show.

Fortunately, Tennessee has the death penalty, and there is an excellent chance that that's exactly what's going to happen to this subhuman. We also have a Republican governor who will be happy to impose it. Unfortunately, the appeal process being what it is, the monster will probably only meet his and about 20 years from now.

Huge congratulations to the Memphis PD for doing such a quick job of catching this guy and discovering the remains of the victim, a 38-year-old mother of two. It's hard to reimagine a more unspeakable crime against a more totally decent victim. So far, the police have not released the cause of death and how the monster actually murdered the victim.

Female running alone at 4:30AM in Memphis. That takes some serious lack of situational awareness. Memphis is a sh*thole. No way in hell would I let my wife or daughters run alone in that city.

The proper terminology is “indigenous urban peoples.”

Is the left busy yet crafting “Cleotha” into a saint? Raising bond?

Wow, we need to defund the police or something. Paging Kamala, when you are done making word salad, this guy might need some of that bail money of yours.

As men it is our duty to protect our women. How do we protect them when they do things alone not knowing what’s out there? Can you protect them from themselves?You can’t keep them in a cage or make them wear burkas. You’ve got to make the bad guys so scared they wouldn’t try anything like that. The outrage will die down until the next one comes along. We’re running out of safe places to live.

“serious lack of situational awareness”

My first thought as well....along with I was pretty sure she wasn’t going be found alive.

Frankly I would’ve thought trash like Abston would be sleeping off a couple of 40s at 4:30AM. I guess no time is safe in some places.

Memphis left the “safe place to live” category about 30 years ago. LOL.

You need to wait until 5:30 for that. Midnight to 5AM should be no go time for normies.

“Hoodrats” and “Ghetto Thugs” also work.

You are right. I went through Memphis 30 years ago and said never again.

Every female that lives in that city should know better than to be out after dark. Nobody should have to tell her.

Went to Graceland about 10 yrs ago.
I guess at one time that was a nice neighborhood but now it’s pretty shady in the vicinity.
Lots of warnings about car break-ins in the parking lot.

Even the worst scumbag, caught in the act of committing the most heinous crime, deserves a fair trial. We DON’T want to hang an innocent man.

We want to hang the guilty.

Executions should be public and swift.
