A little more about prior kidnapping and victim.
REMEMBERING KEMPER DURAND - Lewis Thomason
by Bill Haltom Last Saturday, the THHJM family lost a very dear and special member, Kemper Durand. Kemper was one of those extraordinary souls who always exuded joy and happiness, even in stressful times. He enjoyed life immensely and lived it with intensity. He adored his wife, Lillian, his...www.lewisthomason.com
The news of Cleotha “Pookie” Abston’s arrest comes a day after investigators … I guess Pookie is his street name from your attachments
Yes the most skilled in the country I’d imagine with the profile of this case and family. FBI is already involved and unfortunately many seasoned MPD detectives too.I imagine skilled detectives are currently trying to convince him to tell the truth concerning Liza’s location.
Which one of the two men arrested abducted Kemper? Or was one the "unwilling abductor" and the other the willing one, using Kemper's words?Kemper was a millions times better of a human being than the vile human who took him. The fact he was released and able to do this again is sickening.
Very wow. Thanks for sharing. I wonder what he would have thought about Eliza now being kidnapped.Wow, wow and wow again!!!
Tennessee has the DP, correct?Yes the most skilled in the country I’d imagine with the profile of this case and family. FBI is already involved and unfortunately many seasoned MPD detectives too.
Maybe they can use that as leverage.Tennessee has the DP, correct?
That’s just until they can get their facts together likely. JMOThe 2nd person arrested:
"A second person was arrested in the same operation, but police say he is not believed to be connected to Fletcher’s abduction."

Missing Teacher Eliza Fletcher’s Alleged Kidnapper Left His Sandals Behind
Suspect Cleotha Abston is in custody, but Fletcher is still missing.www.thedailybeast.com
A second person was also arrested, but police said that suspect was "currently not believed to be connected" to Fletcher's abduction early Friday.Apparently so.
Cleotha Abston charged in Eliza Fletcher abduction in Memphis
UPDATE, TUESDAY: Police identify Eliza Fletcher’s body; Abston charged with murder UPDATE: Cleotha Abston is now facing additional charges of identity theft, theft of property $1000 or less, and fr…wreg.com
"A second person was arrested in the same operation, but police say he is not believed to be connected to Fletcher’s abduction.
Mario Abston, 36, was charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance with Intent to Manufacture and Sell Fentanyl, Possession of a Controlled Substance with Intent to Manufacture and Sell Heroin, and Convicted Felon in Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Dangerous Felony."
So Cleo Abston would have just been released in the past year or so, right?, from serving his 20 years without parole? And he … does this again? Unbelievable.
I said back on the last thread I hope this vehicle some sort of GPS and he was too dumb to deactivate it. That and @MassGuy hoping that this guy carried his cell phone with him and didn't turn it off. I'm hoping this guy could be a top candidate for DCOY (Dumb Crook Of the Year).Surprised a bit this morning that an arrest was already made and equally taken back by the stupidity of continuing to drive a vehicle whose image has been blasted over the news both local and nationally. Unfortunately after reading about his prior conviction and time served I’m almost certain he wouldn’t allow any other victim to make a case against him. Horrendous to even think about but likely how it turns out. Sick to my stomach for this family.
