  • Summary

  • Eliza Fletcher suspect was reportedly a ‘weird pervert’ who tried to pay neighbors for sex New details emerge in ‘violent’ kidnapping of missing Memphis teacher Abston was later convicted of aggravated robbery, as well as especially aggravated kidnapping — the latter being one of two charges he was again hit with Sunday for allegedly abducting Fletcher, the 34-year-old teacher and hardware heiress who had still not been found Monday. He was sentenced in 2001 to serve 24 years in prison — and Durand fought for him to remain locked up when he tried to challenge the sentence, according to records obtained by the Commercial Appeal. “My feelings about being the victim of this crime, and the feelings of those around me, are that I was extremely lucky that I was able to escape from the custody of Cleotha Abston,” the attorney wrote in a victim impact statement objecting to the 2003 bid, the paper noted. “It was very fortunate that an armed, uniformed Memphis Housing Authority guard happened to come” across them, he reportedly wrote. “It is quite likely that I would have been killed had I not escaped.” In sharp contrast, Durand had testified on behalf of Abston’s co-accused, Marquette Cobbins, to try to get him a lighter sentence, his law firm noted. “As Kemper saw it, the man was at the wrong place with the wrong person at the wrong time,” his law firm said, making clear that the late attorney always viewed Abston as his sole kidnapper. He testified to hearing Cobbins begging Abston to “stop the car, let this man out, give him his keys, and go!” Eliza Fletcher was jogging before she was violently abducted Friday. Tennessee teacher and hardware heiress Eliza Fletcher was snatched Friday during her regular 4 a.m. jog. Durand died in early February 2013. Abston was released in November 2020, the Commercial Appeal said. He was busted Sunday after DNA testing on a pair of sandals left at the site of Fletcher’s abduction, with video footage later showing him allegedly violently abducting the mom during her daily early morning jog. His phone also put him at the scene, and video footage showed he had been stalking the area for at least 24 minutes before Fletcher was grabbed, according to an affidavit. Before his arrest, he was also seen washing the inside of his work SUV and scrubbing his clothes while “acting very strange,” according to the document. Abston, 38, is being held on a $500,000 bond on charges of tampering with evidence and especially aggravated kidnapping. His arraignment is scheduled for Tuesday. He “declined to provide investigators with the location of the victim,” the affidavit said as the huge search for Fletcher continued Monday. #LizaFletcher #CleothaAbner #missingperson #abductions #Memphiskidnapping #justiceforliza SUBSCRIBE HERE: www.youtube.com/c/deeptruecrime?sub_c...
