The senseless killing of the wife, mother of two and 34-year-old kindergarten teacher has shocked the Memphis community and has led to a flood of support for her and her family.
FILE - In this undated photo provided by the Memphis Police Department, 34-year-old Eliza Fletcher, of Memphis, Tenn., is shown. Police in Tennessee said Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2022, they found Fletcher's body after she was abducted during a pre-dawn run, confirming fears that she was killed after she was forced into an SUV on Friday morning. Cleotha Abston has been charged with kidnapping and murder in the case.
A judge revoked bond for a man charged with Fletcher's kidnapping and killing Wednesday. Cleotha Henderson, who also has gone by the name Cleotha Abston, was arrested Saturday after police detected his DNA on a pair of sandals found near where Fletcher was last seen, an arrest affidavit showed. A graduate of the well-respected Hutchison School in Memphis, Fletcher went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in exercise and sports science from Baylor in 2010, according to a tweet by the university.Fletcher later got a teaching job at St. Mary's, another Memphis private school, which released a statement calling her “a bright light in our community.”
The obituary described Fletcher as a “born athlete” who enjoyed spending time outside with her family. “She and her husband are both just inspirations in the sense of their zest for life and love of running and athletics,” Robertson said.
