Authorities are scouring a Memphis neighborhood as the search for the missing mother of two, Eliza Fletcher, stretches into the third day. This morning, police say they found Fletcher’s alleged captor, 38-year-old Cleotha Abston, facing charges of aggravated kidnapping and tampering with evidence. Police say Abston is yet to say where Fletcher is. According to the affidavit, two witnesses, including Abston’s brother, reported seeing the suspect wash his clothes in a sink and clean the inside of the car with floor cleaner. Police also confirmed to NBC News Abston pled guilty in another kidnapping case more than 20 years ago.

Although this is sad. It truly shows what money and being white will do for you if you are missing.
He killed her..
The system needs to make a example of this dude.prison is too good for dude..
Like take his eyes and then his private area.
God bless the kids and husband..
Super sad that people walk around us with bad intentions every day..it's about opportunity for these sick people.
So people to kids need to be smarter and not gullible to strangers..
For you all women better wake up there is evil among. us near your homes and in groceries store where ever you go it's just a matter of opportunity cam caught this one though or else you still be searching
I'm PRAYING she will be found alive.
, she not going return safety be real
Another black man caught kidnapping, killing and potentially r@ping an innocent white mother. Where's the outrage on Twitter? Where's BLM to denounce this soulless coward? Where's the call for justice?
This is hypocritical.
It has been 300 years since they were brought to this Country sold by their Tribal elders through auction, it's been 160 years since they were freed by Republican President Abraham Lincoln, it's been over 50 years since they were granted complete equal rights, and on top of that, they have more "racial privileges" than any other race, they have been given numerous"entitlements" free education, free housing, all inclusive College's, Special Holidays, an entire Month that pays tribute to their race. And STILL they have failed to assimilate into our Culture/Society each and every day thousands of times they fulfill the negative stereotypes that are held against them. I feel sorry for the very small percentage that have assimilated into our culture successfully, but as for the rest of them, I'm sorry, but they're just not like us and they NEVER will be…period
Another BLM rehab.
Terrifying
Hey let's talk about his race, considering thats all the fake news media cares about these days.
Get a rope like the old days.
He isn’t telling the police??? There are ways to make him talk…
when will we finally talk about the black on white crime problem?
Don’t go on a morning run early morning until sunrise and always be alert. Don’t run with your AirPods on so you can hear ppl and cars approaching you. And run in a populated area and avoid alley ways or areas that seem sketchy
Really appreciate you #drbanlogun YouTube for bringing back happiness by giving me a permanent cure to my HSV2. Thank you so much,please friends join me to thank him for what he has actually done for me and I pray to you all good life and good health,and most especially to you #drbanlogun
But Nathan Hightman hasn’t been arrested??? So you arrest the black man but not the white one? You force me not to give a chit.
Hopefully they'll find her. Was he the main culprit or a hired gun? Given her status, I wonder.
Was this hideous creature one of the maniacal, psycho White House terrorists during election
Usually a renegade Trump following criminal is behind such horrific acts
Praying they find her🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😥This is Horrible! God bless her family and give them Strength 🙏🏼
Tell me again how come he is not in prison until he is aged enough not to be able to do this a 2nd time?
How many in the area that are still missing. This isn't his 1st time
There’s no good news in this situation. Just tell the family where to find her body.
Heartbreaking!!! So much evil in this world, what was this coward stalker gained by committing such a grave act?
Prayers go out to the family and
Let's pray that Eliza is still alive🙏🙏🙏.🙏
Not alleged he did it and has done it before get it right.
Torture is also a good method I'm js
i'm guessing shes dead …..
Praying 🙏 the crypt keeper looking woman in found .
BLM. This man didn't do nothing wrong. Nancy Pelosi called him a Hero. Black people will protest. His was a Peaceful Kidnapping and it was the Teacher Fault. Poor blackman was just asking for Directions and the teacher attacked him.
Go medieval on him till he talks.
Ok, I hope she's ok too. someone is kidnapped ever 40 seconds in America. How does the media decide who to focus on like this? What makes them different than the others? Real question.
That's gotta be so frustrating. He did it they have the evidence but just won't talk. Too bad they can't use old school tactics to make him talk.
Start hammering 🔨 his toes; he will talk, then.
Dayum a young mom smh
