What happened to Eliza Fletcher?

Fletcher made headlines in September 2022 when she was kidnapped during her morning run at the University of Memphis campus.

One day after Fletcher was reported missing, police arrested a suspect they believe is connected to the case.

Cleotha Abston, 38, was arrested on September 3 and charged with especially aggravated kidnapping and tampering with evidence.

Abston was reportedly seen cleaning the interior of his GMC Terrain - a "vehicle of interest" - with a floor cleaner after the kidnapping, according to Fox News.

His brother, Mario Abston, and another witness also told police that they saw him "washing his clothes in the sink of the house" after the abduction.

His brother went on to add that he had been acting "strange."

This is also not the first time he has been accused of crimes like this.
