Unidentified body found during search for missing Tennessee woman, police say



Published
The man charged with missing woman Eliza Fletcher's abduction is now charged with her murder after her body was identified by Memphis Police Tuesday.

38-year-old Cleotha Abston is charged with First Degree Murder in Fletcher's death, MPD said, in addition to his especially aggravated kidnapping charge, and others.

Charges of identity theft, theft of property $1,000 or less, and fraudulent use/illegal possession of credit/debit card $1,000 or less were added for Abston Monday from an unrelated case.

According to the affidavit for those latest charges, a woman reported her wallet was stolen Thursday, Sept. 1, while she was at work at the Malco in the 1000 block of Germantown Pkwy. Investigators said video showed an employee of the cleaning service, identified as Cleotha Henderson (aka Abston), taking the wallet. According to the affidavit, the victim got texts about her cards being used, and police determined they had been used at two gas stations for more than $910.

A $500,000 bond was set for the suspect, Abston.
