Found Deceased TN - Eliza "Liza" Fletcher Abducted While Jogging Near University of Memphis #2

[getthefax]

No clue, but we know he had intent to kill his victim, so maybe it should be?

Like I said, people may not agree, and that’s fine by me, but I’ve seen too many instances were repeat offenders have been set free only to do it again... or worse. JMO.

My martial arts instructor told us all (repeatedly, over the years) that one critical time to fight/run from a person with a gun was in the event they tried to get us into a vehicle.
She said if they get you into a car, chances are you aren’t coming out of the situation alive, so even if they have a gun, take any opportunity tofight/run/do whatever you can to get away.

We know Eliza tried so hard. I’m still holding out hope she may be injured but still alive, though it isn’t looking good.

Edited to spell out her name.

What incentive does he have to tell LE where the body is? He's already on camera abducting her, her DNA is in his vehicle and he left his shoes at the crime scene. It isn't like they'll reduce his sentence. MOO

Maybe they will take the death penalty off the table. (if it's even on the table that is) ??
ETA: Sorry @MassGuy
I just saw you posted the same thing!

The only thing this guy didn't do is go to WalMart. I bet he didn't even turn his phone off. All jmo

Please join us in lighting candles for Eliza or doing an act of kindness today as MPD along with the FBI continues to search for her. She has two young sons. We cannot begin to imagine what they are being told when they ask "where is our mommy?" Hearts are truly breaking. We are not thinking of her as "the heiress", but as the devoted mother and teacher that she has been. Her family needs answers. We all have opinions on how this will end, and unless it was a kidnapping for ransom in which case we would have no idea at all, the answers don't appear to be positive at all. Our candles are lit. No matter what your beliefs are, whether you pray or not, doesn't matter. This young woman deserves justice. Thank you.

Chi in Memphis

I think the Bloodhounds will find her today.

I hope they're using two sets of bloodhounds to search for and follow both Liza's scent and Pookie's. MOO

There are murder cases I've followed where I'm infuriated by the fact that a ticking time bomb wasn't punished harshly enough for past crimes, which in turn allowed another murder to happen.

I find myself saying, "how the hell was this guy walking free in the first place."

I don't have that here though, as it appears he was charged and sentenced appropriately for a crime he committed as a teenager.

I get it... but wasn’t he arrested again recently for burglary? I know it isn’t the same as this at all, but I would think there have been signs that he too may have been a ticking time bomb? Maybe not? I think we will learn that he may have been stalking the area just waiting for a victim. I hope she fought like hell. JMO.

 

[Stunned]

Since he's without shoes, I'd doubt he went into any wooded area. I pray she's found today and I pray for her family. Mollie Tibbetts reminder again. So very sad

Good point about him being without shoes!

I think it’s too early for that, and also that Memphis elite will want the DP for this guy. They will only do that if there’s a chance she’s still alive somewhere.

It's just over a mile from the brother's apartment to the area being searched this morning. Alice Avenue to 1700 S Orleans St

Thank you. It looks like this suspect went to his "comfort zone", where he feels safe, blends in, knows his way around.

 

[Thinker Belle]

I don’t presume to know the mind of criminals. But my instinct tells me she’s in the river. It seems to be a go to place in this area for dumping a body unfortunately. We had a local case earlier this year where boyfriend killed his baby’s mother and then threw the 2 day old baby in the river. I pray and hope I am wrong.

Some people should not be on the face of this earth and this creep being held is one of the many. I pray she's still alive but hope is dwindling. JMO

MOO but I think she will be found without his help.

Its been said perps will go where they are familiar with.

I wonder if they photographed the bottom of his feet, knowing those slides were recovered.

 

[vaporlass]

I am too. If it were robbery he certainly didn't need to kidnap her. He could have knocked her down, robbed her and disappeared. Would have been much easier for him to escape from and possibly not get caught.

We have to consider that he thought he was going back to prison after the Theft Over 10k charge, just a matter of time before indicted? … He could have decided to commit a crime much worse specifically for the fame which would place him higher up on the prison food chain amongst certain groups, anyway. (Just speculating while we wait)

 

[EmmieA]

He didn't know that much. While in jail, he obviously was not into "true crime", DNA and such. Much less, cellphone tracking, triangulation, etc. Whether he is naturally dumb or smart, unclear. Uneducated, obviously. I suspect that he is obstinate and paranoid, but it is just my feeling. He probably won't talk. JMO. Or else, they need a very skilled negotiator.

This might be a dumb question but in cases like this, what are they able to negotiate? Just curious if they can promise him certain prison privileges or something like that??

I think that his years behind bar didn't teach him to trust LE, this is why the negotiator, should LE use one, has to be very skilled. Also, CA's attorney, likely, advises him to deny any involvement.

If after 20 years behind bars, CA still kept some friends to post for them, i.e., he is not a loner, there still might be something, or someone, who CA cares about, that could be the negotiation focus. Plus, I assume they can lie out "option A" vs "option B".

I wonder who put up his bond?

Do we know anything about the theft over $10,000 charge, like the circumstances?
