Eliza Fletcher’s body found in Memphis


Tuesday, police confirmed that a body discovered in a Memphis neighborhood on Monday belonged to a Tennessee woman who was taken late last week. Early Friday morning, surveillance footage captured Eliza Fletcher being forced into an SUV while jogging near the University of Memphis.

The accused suspect, 38-year-old Cleotha Abston, is charged with first-degree murder and first-degree murder in the commission of a kidnapping, according to police.

Tuesday was slated for Abston’s arraignment. In the widely known case, he had been charged with aggravated kidnapping and tampering with evidence.

According to an arrest affidavit, U.S. marshals arrested him on Saturday after authorities discovered his DNA on a pair of sandals located near where Fletcher was last seen.

Police also connected the vehicle believed to have been used in the kidnapping to a resident of the residence where Abston was residing. Tuesday morning, online court records do not indicate whether Abston has an attorney who could comment on his behalf.
