At the time of the kidnapping the victim in that case was an experienced criminal defense attorney, but those guys usually do earn their chops as an ADA

Derrick Todd Lee and Brandon Scott Lavergne didn’t have any help.

Either way, I'm sure this guy is still on probation and should have been wearing an ankle monitor.

Also....why is only being charged with aggravated kidnapping and not 1st degree murder?

Get his DNA evidence and cross reference it with other unsolved cases.
I think he’s already in the system and that’s how they ID’d him from the dna on some sandals that were left.

Has it been confirmed that there were recent complaints from other women in the area about someone harassing them on morning runs? If they identify him it shows a ton of premeditation. I will be interested to see if anything was actually done about those complaints, or if memphis pd just shrugged it off

The only mentions I could find about that were that the police weren't sure if he was connected to the Memphis women's cross country team complaints. But I wouldn't doubt it. Fits his MO, but Eliza was much more vulnerable than a group of girls running together.

If he was released from prison after serving time for a conviction, why would he still be on probation? Probation is an alternative to prison, right?

Also, why would you think he would be wearing an ankle monitor?

Maybe parole would be a better term....

Press conference live notes:

Body found behind a duplex on Victor St, confirmed to be Eliza Fletcher

Abston charged with 1st degree murder, kidnapping, especially aggravated kidnapping, tampering with evidence. Also unrelated charges, identity theft, theft of property and fraud. (Wasn't elaborated on, but surely due to the wallet theft days before)

DA says any rumors regarding the family are bullshite and that this was an attack by a stranger

Q&A:
Police haven't released cause or location of death yet

Cleotha is still not cooperating

Unsure if anyone else is involved yet

You can tell Mulroy is such a loser. I can't believe a career professor was hired as a DA.

He already did time for another kidnapping where the person escaped.

Thanks for the link.

Imagine being the white chick attorney representing him knowing full well what he just did to Eliza. No thanks.

Reporters are such scum. One of them clearly baiting the DA with questions about why they looked so hard for this lady and not "other missing persons." Just come out and say it you spineless bitch.

How did the cops get the tip that he was at his brother's apartment cleaning the car? Did they just happen to be driving by? Cell phone pings?

Won’t shock anyone at how the usual race baiters like Jemele Hill and Rex Chapman don’t have anything to say about this animal hunting this white woman in the streets


Yet if you reverse the races and a white Person kidnaps and murders a black woman and throws her body by a dumpster, well we all know the response

This shite is all so fricked up.
