Ex-FBI investigator says Eliza Fletcher suspect's previous kidnapping victim worked at same law firm as missing heiress's UNCLE - and claims link is 'very significant clue'

A former FBI investigator said Eliza Fletcher's kidnapping suspect had previously abducted a former co-worker of the heiress's uncle.

Jennifer Coffindaffer revealed that Cleotha Abston's first kidnapping victim, Memphis Attorney Kemper Durand, worked in the same flaw firm as Fletcher's uncle, Michael Keeney, NewsNation reports.

'I think this is a very significant clue, and I'm sure certainly that the FBI, the US Marshalls and the TBI is looking closely at this relationship,' Coffindaffer said.

Abston, 38, was only 16-years-old when he and an accomplice kidnapped Durand, threw him into his own trunk, and tried to force him to withdraw money at a gas station ATM in 2000.

Abston spent 22 years in jail for the crime, and two years later after his early release in 2020, he is back in custody for the suspected kidnapping and murder of Fletcher.

The killer is a sexual predator with a history of harassing women. Needs to be put down like a rabid dog.

Just my opinion.

I thought it was a random crime of opportunity, but this information says it wasn’t.

Jenn Pellegrino gave a heartfelt report on this story. Unfortunately she had Gloria Alred on. Alred was making every excuse possible for the POS thug who killed her. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I thought she was an advocate for women unless the perpetrator is black.

He will not live long in prison—a few dollars and he will be shived or hung. He will never see the light of day.

My friend’s niece teaches at Eliza’s school. Gossip is still rampant that the husband is involved.

What POSSIBLE excuse is there for a serial predator to abduct, rape, & brutally murder an innocent woman? Gloria Allred is insane.

from a gossip site

Blind Item #3
The jogger who disappeared and was killed, was killed by the husband’s drug dealer. The husband was having an affair with the nanny. The husband owed money to the drug dealer.

I dont remember Fargo. from the gossip site

Husband gets attorney immediately. Brother of the killer is a drug dealer. They live way below their billionaire family means so husband turns to a Fargo situation that goes bad. Nanny relevant in my opinion, relates to his morals.”

Seemed like too much of a coincidence to me.
But the details will either be fascinating, or boring.

99% of those school teachers are big time liberals. They're not the sharpest crayons in the box either. Far from it. They can't imagine a black man would rape and murder a liberal.

I think the world of well to do white people in Memphis is fairly small and fairly well connected.

My bet is on coincidence.

You always look at the spouse.

Always.

Doesn’t mean he’s guilty, but you’ll want to check it out.

The common demonminator appears to be Naive Rich Liberal women that ignore the violent criminality all around them.

The Defence will try to make this look like a “hired hit” where whitey is responsible and the poor Rapist of color is the REAL victim here, but its just a disgusting attempt to sow jury doubt now, to bloom 2 years from now.
