A body has been identified as missing mother-of-two Eliza Fletcher by police in Memphis, Tennessee

The human remains were located close to the home of kidnapping suspect Cleotha Abston's brother, Mario

Following her disappearance, Cleotha was seen by neighbors washing the carpets of his 2013 GMC Terrain

Abston, 38, has been charged with especially aggravated kidnapping and tampering with evidence

It has been revealed that Abston previously spent 20 years in jail after he and an accomplice kidnapped a Memphis attorney, who worked in the same firm as Fletcher's uncle

He is due to make first court appearance today and is being held at Shelby County Jail on a $500,000 bond

Mario Abston is in custody on charges of possession with intent to sell heroin and fentanyl and a gun offense

Fletcher, 34, was abducted while jogging near the University of Memphis at 4.30am on Friday morning

No one should go jogging around Memphis in the dark or during the day without a fire arm. Memphis is one dangerous city and any jogger should have a fire arm with them. Memphis seethes with violence but it is kept quiet. It has one of the highest crime rates in the USA regardless of population density. You can guess the rest of the comparative informational stats.

Maybe Harold Ford, Jr. can bribe all the criminals to lay down their fire arms.

Primal rage ever since his mother named him “Cleotha.”

RIP, Mrs. Fletcher. Condolences to your family, husband, two little children, congregtion, and the school kids you taught, as well.

Masterful euphemizing there.

This is all that I found that is twist’ish...

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

She said: ‘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.’”

We definitely have a problem. Fixing it would require cojones the size of ripe melons. Mo bigger jails, and the relocation plan. It will get much worse before it gets better.

I lived near what was then Memphis State University for about 9 months in the 1980s. A college student was murdered in her apartment about 100 yards from where I lived by a young black man who was burglarizing the place.

“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.”

Any chance they may take a look at who and why they approved his early release?

I’ve never happened to notice your posts before. I think in this post you are suggesting non-commutable life imprisonment or even capital punishment. With all the appeals processes, I’m not sure if it’s cheaper to execute murderers than to house and feed them for life. But anything to keep them away from the decent citizens would work for me.

Thanks for posting. Daily Mail has a ton of information.

Mystifying why she would not avoid that area. And why it took so long to find her when she was so close by.

May God heal this world.

Their headline says she was found in a dumpster? Police said found on the ground.

I’m not suggesting anything.

Agree we need to keep them away.

They let this puke out of prison for murder. We aren’t any safer here in TN.

Gov Lee makes Luz Cheney seem sane.

Al Gore used Wille Horton first in the 88 primary.

Maybe Gore, always the opportunist, thought he could say a felon on the loose contributed to global warming by gunfire (from his “heater.”)

Yeah, he’ll be 58, and with prison workouts, still in top killing-whitey form.
