This is how they describe Cleotha Abston, the detainee for the murder of Eliza Fletcher

Eliza Fletcher, heiress to a fortune of more than a billion dollars, was found dead in Tennessee. She confirmed it to the police in Memphis, United States. So far, the only detainee and main suspect in the kidnapping and murder of the woman is Cleotha Abston.

Abston, 38, was charged with kidnapping and tampering with evidence in connection with Fletcher’s disappearancewho had been wanted for three days, when she went for a run and disappeared.

After Cleotha’s arrest, information about him and his family continues to be known. Now, his neighbors claimed that he was a “creep” (disturbing) and “perverted” who I was trying to pay the women in the neighborhood for sex after watching them for a while from his truck.

What the residents of Abston say

A woman named April revealed to the Daily Mail that one day Cleotha saw her arrive at her house, climbed the steps of the porch behind her and said: “I’ll give you 100 dollars to fuck.” At that point, April asked him if she thought she needed her money and he told her that she just wanted to “have some fun”.

They considered him “a disturbing figure” with an uncomfortable look. “She gave me creepy vibes: the way she looked,” an unidentified neighbor told WREG.

Latoya, 35, said Cleotha proposed to her and her 20-year-old niece earlier this year for $100. “As far as I know, no one here has sex with him,” Latoya clarified.

Abston’s modus operandi

The accused had been released from prison two years ago. When she was 16, Cleotha had forced the local attorney Kemper Durand to get into the trunk of your car. The situation did not escalate because the lawyer asked for help in time and scared his kidnapper while he took money from an ATM.

Apparently the modus operandi of the detainee would have been repeated with Eliza. Cleotha, seeing her running calmly, would have forced her to get into her black van at dawn on Friday, September 2.

DNA evidence from sneakers links him to the woman’s disappearance and his phone placed him at the scene of the kidnapping, police confirmed.

Also, according to court documents, there is surveillance camera video from the scene allegedly showing Abston running “aggressively toward the victim and then forcing her into the passenger side of the vehicle.” This would verify that the kidnapping was “violent” and that there was a struggle inside the car.

a complicated family

Cleotha and her brother Mario, 36, lived together in a Memphis housing complex. Both Abstons had been arrested in the past, Cleotha’s brother for drug related charges and Cleotha, as we already mentioned, for having tried to kidnap the lawyer.

Mario, in turn, was charged Sunday with possession with intent to manufacture and sell both fentanyl and heroin, as well as possession of a firearm while committing a dangerous felony.

“Currently not believed to be related to Fletcher’s abduction,” police said of the minor Abston.
