During Tuesday's court hearing, a judge said he will appoint an attorney from the Shelby County Public Defender's Office to represent Abston, who informed the judge that he cannot afford an attorney on his own. Davis declined to comment on what led investigators to the duplex where Fletcher's body was found, but she noted, "We have not gotten very much information from that individual ." She also said it was too soon to comment on how and when Fletcher was killed.
"Liza was a such a joy to so many -- her family, friends, colleagues, students, parents, members of her Second Presbyterian Church congregation, and everyone who knew her," the family said. "Now it’s time to remember and celebrate how special she was and to support those who cared so much for her. We appreciate all the expressions of love and concern we have received.
According to the affidavit, police believe Fletcher suffered "serious injury" during the abduction, which was captured on surveillance video.The video showed a black GMC Terrain initially driving by Fletcher as she jogged, then stopping in a parking lot ahead of her and waiting for her to come by, according to the affidavit.
