The man accused of kidnapping billionaire heiress Eliza Fletcher was recently released from prison after serving a 20-year sentence for a similar crime.

Cleotha Abston, 38, was arrested and convicted in 2000 for the kidnapping of Memphis attorney Kemper Durand.

At around 2am May 25, 2000, Abston approached Durand from behind on Beale Street in Memphis then robbed him and forced him into the trunk of his car, according to the Memphis Flyer.

Abston then drove Durand around for several hours, then forced him into an ATM and demanded he draw out cash. While in the ATM Durand spotted a housing authority officer and yelled for help, causing Abston to flee.

Abston was convicted for that kidnapping and released from prison in July of 2020, according to Tennessee Department of Corrections, The US Sun reported.

On Sunday Abston was charged with especially aggravated kidnapping and tampering with evidence following Fletcher's Friday disappearance.

Predator Who Kidnapped Memphis Mom Was SUPPOSED TO BE IN PRISON Serving Time for Another Kidnapping
Todd Starnes
Sep 4, 2022

...  Police say the abduction was bloody and violent – and it was all captured on video.

Investigators have arrested Cleotha Abston and he’s been charged with especially aggravated kidnapping as well as tampering with evidence. They said the suspect laid in waiting in the dark of the morning, rushed toward the victim and forced her into an SUV.

He refuses to tell police where they can find Mrs. Fletcher. ...

But what’s especially heart-wrenching is that this crime was completely avoidable.

In 2001 Abston was arrested and charged with kidnapping a local attorney during a violent carjacking. The attorney, who survived, was stuffed in the trunk of the car.

Abston was sentenced to 24 years in prison.

So why didn’t he serve out the full term of his sentence? It was a violent, heinous crime. Why was he allowed to walk out of jail and back onto the streets of Memphis?

The problem is that violent criminals are being treated as victims. That’s why Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton embrace legislation to fix that problem. It’s called “Truth in Sentencing” and it mandates that criminals serve 100 percent of their sentences for 31 differnet violent offenses.

“Real Truth in Sentencing means no early release from prison,” he wrote in 2021. “We need to protect victims, not violent criminals.”

Don’t do the crime, if you can’t handle the time, he said.

Republican Gov. Bill Lee bewildered conservatives when he refused to sign the bill, opting instead for it to become law without his signature.  ...

 Family of missing Memphis teacher Eliza Fletcher makes emotional plea for help
By Ben Kesslen   
September 4, 2022


The family of missing Memphis teacher Eliza Fletcher made an emotional plea as the search for the mom of two continues.

“We believe someone knows what happened and can help,” her uncle Mike Keeney said Saturday, as her husband Richard Fletcher III stood next to him wiping away tears.

“More than anything we want to see Liza returned home safely,” he continued, also joined by her parents and brother.

The 34-year-old Tennessee mom of two vanished after being abducted during her morning jog Friday. Cleotha Abston was charged Sunday with especially aggravated kidnapping and tampering with evidence, hours after cops found him inside the black SUV wanted in connection with Fletcher’s disappearance. The mom has yet to be located.

A second man was also charged Sunday during the investigation but is currently not believed to be connected to Fletcher’s abduction.

Eliza is the granddaughter of billionaire hardware magnate Joseph Orgill III, who founded the private family business Orgill Inc. Her family has offered a $50,000 reward for information in her disappearance.

Eliza Fletcher abduction: Police search near Memphis home where suspect was seen washing clothes, cleaning car
Witnesses told police that Cleotha Abston was 'behaving oddly' in the area after Eliza Fletcher's abduction, according to an affidavit

By Adam Sabes , Paul Best | Fox News

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Memphis police set up a mobile command center and were searching an area on Sunday near a home where Cleotha Abston, a 38-year-old man suspected of kidnapping Eliza Fletcher, could be seen washing clothes and cleaning the interior of his vehicle on Friday following the alleged abduction. Police have not confirmed that Sunday's search is connected to the violent abduction of the billionaire heiress.

Surveillance video reviewed by police shows a man forcing Fletcher, a 34-year-old mother of two and kindergarten teacher, into a GMC Terrain as she was out for a morning run on Friday near the University of Memphis campus. The video also shows Fletcher fighting back against her abductor.

Police located that GMC terrain at Abston's residence on Saturday and took him into custody after he attempted to flee.

Two witnesses told police that they saw Abston "acting very strange" and "behaving oddly" as he washed his clothes in a sink and cleaned the interior of the GMC Terrain at his brother's home near the Pine Hill Community Center, according to an affidavit.

Police wrote that it was "probable and apparent" that Fletcher's injuries "left evidence, e.g., blood, in the vehicle that the Defendant cleaned."

 New details emerge in ‘violent’ Eliza Fletcher kidnapping
By Ben Kesslen   
September 4, 2022 1:40pm

Missing Memphis teacher Eliza Fletcher was forced into a black SUV in a “violent” manner — and a pair of sandals left at the scene helped cops locate her alleged abductor, according to police documents obtained by The Post Sunday.

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.

Tennessee authorities obtained surveillance footage of the kidnapping, which allegedly showed Abston running “aggressively toward the victim, and then force the victim Eliza Fletcher into the passenger’s side of the vehicle,” the documents said.

“During the abduction, there appeared to be a struggle,” according to the affidavit, which cited “noticeable damage to the back-passenger taillight area” of the GMC Terrain. 

Police said after Fletcher — who is still missing — was forced into the black SUV, “the vehicle then sat in the parking lot with the victim inside for approximately four minutes before it drove off.”

It is unclear what happened during that time.

“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.

According to the document, at 6:45 a.m., good Samaritan Miles Fortas was riding his bike when he found Fletcher’s cell phone and a pair of Champion slide sandals in the area where the mom of two was kidnapped. Fortas, unaware of what had occurred, gave the items to the Fletcher family, who then turned them over to authorities.

“DNA found on the shoes matched DNA for Cleotha Abston” that was already in a police database, according to the affidavit.

Authorities said they found footage of Abston wearing Champion slides the day before the alleged kidnapping. They also said his cell phone pinged near the site of the Friday kidnapping.

The car apparently belongs to a local cleaning service that employed Abston.

Officers arrested him after finding him standing in the doorway of his home.

Eliza Fletcher abduction: body found near area of crime scene investigation
The Memphis Police Department has located a 'deceased party' in the 1600 block of Victor
By Bradford Betz , Adam Sabes | Fox News

Authorities say they have found a body near where Eliza Fletcher was abducted while jogging in Memphis last week.

The Memphis Police Department said officers in the 1600 block of Victor located a "deceased party" just after 5 p.m.

https://twitter.com/MEM_PoliceDept/status/1566943980222386176

The identity of the body and the cause of death have not been confirmed at this point. The investigation is ongoing at this time.

Fox News observed between 15 and 20 police cars, including a mobile command center East Person Ave and Victor Street. A helicopter was also spotted flying overhead. Police would not confirm if the heavy police presence was related to the Fletcher investigation.

A crime scene with at least a mile radius was blocked off near an abandoned school and less than a mile from 1765 Orleans Street where a witness told police they saw the suspect, Cleotha Abston, cleaning blood out of a GMC Terrain with floor cleaner and washing his clothes. They said he was acting strange.

U.S. Marshals arrested 38-year-old Abston on Saturday after police detected his DNA on a pair of sandals near where Fletcher was last seen, according to an arrest affidavit. An arraignment has been set for Tuesday.

Authorities have said Fletcher, 34, was jogging around 4 a.m. on Friday when a man approached her and forced her into an SUV after a brief struggle. Fletcher was reported missing when she did not return home.

The murder charge was added on Tuesday morning.

Bail was previously listed as being set at $500,000, but grew to $510,000 overnight. It was not immediately clear if the bail amount would increase further in light of the new charge.

Eliza Fletcher kidnapping: Memphis police find tire track marks, 'odor of decay' in search for Tennessee mom
Cleotha Abston-Henderson is being charged with first-degree murder in relation

By Adam Sabes , Stephanie Pagones | Fox News

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Memphis police and several other law enforcement agencies found "tire marks" and smelled an "odor of decay" during their search for the body of Eliza Fletcher on Monday evening.

A new affidavit released Tuesday states that a law enforcement officer found the tire marks in high grass and an odor of decay at 1666 Victor St. in Memphis, which then led them to a rear driveway where a body later identified as Eliza Fletcher was found.

Authorities revealed on Tuesday that they discovered Fletcher's remains at 5:07 p.m. Monday in the "rear of a vacant duplex apartment" near the area where she was abducted.

Police have so far hit Cleotha Abston-Henderson, 38, with a slew of charges, including first-degree murder, premeditated murder and murder in perpetration of kidnappings, in addition to other counts that include aggravated kidnapping and tampering with/fabricating evidence.

In the back of the home, officers "noticed a set of steps just north of the rear driveway. Immediately to the right of the steps, [one of the officers] located an unresponsive female lying on the ground," the affidavit states.

Investigators then canvassed the surrounding area and spotted "a discarded trash bag" roughly 0.3 miles away on South Orleans Street, the affidavit states.

"The bag contained purple Lululemon running shorts that were consisted (sic) with the ones Eliza Fletcher was last seen wearing," the affidavit goes on.

Fletcher, 34, was abducted around 4:30 a.m. Friday while she was running near the University of Memphis. At the time, she was wearing a pink top and purple shorts.


Surveillance footage showed a black GMC Terrain "passing and then waiting for the victim to run by," according to a Memphis Police Department affidavit. "A male exited the black GMC Terrain, ran aggressively toward the victim, and then forced the victim Eliza Fletcher into the passenger side of the vehicle … there appeared to be a struggle."

The affidavit later added: "The vehicle then sat in the parking lot with the victim inside for approximately four minutes before it drove off."

The "violent" abduction was caught on video and allegedly showed Abston-Henderson "waiting for, then rushing toward the victim, then forcing the victim into the vehicle."

Prior to allegedly kidnapping and murdering Memphis heiress Eliza Fletcher, Cleotha Abston spent twenty years in jail for abducting Kemper Durand.

It has since been revealed that Durand, a former attorney, had worked at Lewis Thomason, the same firm as Fletcher's uncle, Michael Keeney.

The revelations were brought to light by former FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer in an interview with NewsNation on Monday, according to the Daily Mail.

"I think this is a very significant clue," Coffindaffer said, "and I'm sure, certainly that the FBI, that the US Marshals, and that the TBI is looking closely at this relationship."

She suggested it could help explain why Abston allegedly chose to kidnap Fletcher. ...

Tucker: "An American citizen should be able to live or walk anywhere in America w/o being raped or murdered for it. Period. That is the baseline requirement for civilization. It’s called order...that’s not what we have..once we accept that as normal, we’re stuck with it forever."  (Video)

My family moved to STL in 1972, and we quickly learned which areas to avoid. Since then, of course, it's only become much worse. It's one of the most crime-ridden cities in America. However, friends who lived there in the 1930s and 1940s told us about the times their family and others went to Forest Park and camped out under the stars in summer months without fear. Can you imagine doing that in any major city today?

What has CHANGED in those cities since the 1930's...?

@Fishrrman

Is it REALLY demographics,or is it wealthy white/and/or Jewish billionaires arranging things so that they get the revolution they NEED to turn America into a police state under their control,while gaining ALL of the power and NONE of the blame?

Strong, capable, armed, 250lb White man. Still, I am not going to strip down to my underwear and go running at 4am. The only people out at that time are people you do not want to meet.

When these females look at themselves in the mirror, and conclude that they are utterly sexy (which they are ... btw) then they decide to jump in a pool of large mouth bass, and run like a lure looking for a bite.

Should not have taken this long to find her.
Small dark room, chair, handcuffs, and a ball pean hammer. 60 minutes tops.

That's the mild approach.  Perp deserves much worse.

That suggestion was just to find out where her body was. The real fun begins after the location is confirmed.

Try as I might, I can't understand why people have become so mean and crazy.

Has it always been this way? But since there is the internet/news reporting 24/7 we hear more?

I really don't think that's the answer. People are mean...I don't know why.

It starts in the schools, there is no discipline or consequences there and kids are taught they can do anything they want and get away with it. And now the liberals have taken that into the adult world were criminals, including violent dangerous ones are released with no bail or just plain released from prison. With no consequences there is really nothing to keep the worst of society in check and the socialists actively breed more because they want the society in America to break down so they can take more control.

That's my story and I'm stickin to it!

Eliza Fletcher autopsy reveals cause of death for billionaire heiress and mother
by Cami Mondeaux, Breaking News Reporter |
September 30, 2022 09:36 AM

Heiress billionaire and mother of two Eliza Fletcher, who was kidnapped during an early morning run, died from a gunshot wound to the head, according to the recently released autopsy report.

Fletcher, who went missing and was found dead in early September, had a gunshot wound in the back of her head and blunt-force injuries to her right leg, according to the autopsy report by the West Tennessee Regional Forensic Center in Memphis. Her body also had traces of fentanyl, according to toxicology reports obtained by CBS affiliate WREG-TV, although it’s unclear how long the drug was in her body.

The autopsy determined Fletcher had died “with a single gunshot to the head” and that she also had jaw fractures, according to the report. It’s not clear if Fletcher had been sexually assaulted before her death.  ...

"Heiress billionaire"? What kind of stupid description is that? Did the reporter check the deceased's bank account first?

While I get what you are saying, and agree that this is not the conduct ordinarily tolerated in Western Culture, there are elements within that culture as it exists, a subset fairly independent, floating like some hideous vacuole in the cytoplasm that is us as a whole. Either that be contained, removed, or its spread put into remission, or the rest of our culture will suffer and eventually die, victim of this parasitic malignancy.

I'm not blaming just on group, although some demographics appear most commonly, and keep ever in mind that someone promoted this lifestyle in music and pop culture and made bank doing so. That more someones are covering for those who act outside the boundaries of decency, whether they be from the bottom of the social ladder or the top.
There are more at the bottom, but they are enabled by those farther up, through contributions, grants, legal assistance, and promotion in media (entertainment, primarily) while the base and adverse effects of their actions are ignored by those we depend on for information even as they promote the behaviour that leads there.

In that sense, yes, our culture, even if we don't subscribe to the nonsense we see, because there is little effective pushback.

Amen,brother,amen!

It is not the street thugs you see that are really responsible for this. Most of those fools don't have enough common sense to come in out of the rain.

It is the people who profit financially,politically,or both who are responsible for pushing this lifestye.
