New details emerge in ‘violent’ Eliza Fletcher kidnapping
NY Post ^ | 9/4/22 | Ben Kesslen

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.

Police are still looking for Eliza Fletcher, but it sounds very bleak given the blood found in the car.

“Abston would not tell authorities where she is.”

A car battery and some jumper cables to his nuts will change that.

I would say that poor woman has been murdered. Not much doubt about that.

Water board the SOB. When he talks dry him off and then hook 440volts to his nuts and call the fire department.

Horrible! Very sad. Once they get the details if it’s proven. The guy should get the death penalty immediately. We’ve got to end this type of stuff from ever happening again.
It does not sound like you can ever rehabilitate a person like this. Why did they let the sky back on the streets.

My question is why she was jogging outside at 4:30 am in Memphis? Even if it's in a nice neighborhood? Memphis is a violent city so there are a lot of criminals out and about.

Why would her husband be ok with that? My wife and I discuss family security protocol with frequency, but then again… we are based.

Stupid. Unfortunately, she lost her life over it. It's like jogging in Baltimore. Would you do it? No. Even if it's in a nicer neighborhood.

Neighbors told Daily Mail that...

Abston was a “weird pervert” who stalked women, watched them and tried to get them to have sex with him for $100.
