Found Deceased TN - Eliza "Liza" Fletcher Abducted While Jogging - Memphis #4 *Arrest*

[Tagtexas]

My opinion only, but this beast was probably under the influence of a self-induced panic attack, complete with chest pain and difficulty breathing....after coming to the probable realization that he will be facing the death penalty.

What the hell did he expect to happen??!!!

Absolutely. Sex has little to with rape. Rape is about violent control and being able to do to someone anything they please.

This wasn’t simple rape. It was a sexually motivated killing. He may have raped her (about power, sure), but this case all the hallmarks of a sexually motivated murder (possibly even a serial—MOO). MOO, but my money is 100% on this being a sexual thrill for this creep as it would be for most types of SK.

It has not been proven that this guy is a SK, but we do have him having committed SA and kidnapping in the past—> I think it is *highly* likely he has committed other SA/possible kidnappings/possible murders that we don’t yet know about.

Interesting! I mentioned yesterday that I thought there are more cameras at the complex with different angles. I can't believe that LE didn't ask the manager for all videos. JMO

Do they already have SO much other evidence it seemed… incidental? (kidding kinda) JMO

 

[getthefax]

While I agree, I don't think we will see that for a while. I think they will do a deep and thorough study of his phone pings and see if he was in the area of a prior crime at the same time. There is no reason to bargain with him until they have used other tools.

I agree with you. They are telling him right now that he’s getting the DP, no questions asked.
I just meant that there are two mountains of evidence against the guy. His *only* hope is the tiniest of tiny ones, and even then, not very likely.

Understood. Having said that- rape is violent, especially when it results in a murder.
For many of these perps, there is deep sexual gratification received because of the violence and the fulfillment in controlling another person.

Whatever he did during this crime AND his serious crimes of the past are important regarding criminal charges but ALL of it boils down to violence. I don't know if I've ever considered rape as "simple". jmo

I suspect they would have. Things have moved so quickly and information come in so fast, it's no wonder they haven't had time to cross all the ts and dot all the Is. I think they will. The LE response has been amazing so far.

She looks like she would have been a blast to know

This pic made me sad. Wow she has such an infectious smile. Justice for Liza.

Im a female and runner. I belong to some female running FB groups. Tonight, my fb feed is going crazy with women forming running groups to finish Eliza’s run on Friday morning.

I’ve heard about this and I love it so much!

No sign so far to show that the perp was connected to some crime syndicate or some pandera type group, No tattoes as far as I can see.

I have been reading along, you all are amazing!
Three questions:
1) I am in the medical field and know close to nothing about the law. Can a perp try to plead guilty to avoid the DP and the DA say “nope, sorry, going to trial so you get it”?
2) Do we know if EF ran from her home or drove to a perhaps a fave running route? I’m just wondering if she lived in the area close to U of M and how much other crime happens in that specific area. I know the universities in my (big) city are surrounded by areas known for high crime, and given what we know of her finances I would be surprised if she chose to live in a high crime neighborhood
3) Anyone know the name of a specific app that some have mentioned that allows you to send an instant SOS? I’m a runner and sounds like something I should have.
RIP Eliza

I think it is awesome that so many people are doing this. I hope a LOT of local non-runners turn out to cheer you on! If I were near Memphis I sure as heck would be there.

I think he can plead guilty but there is still a jury trial for the punishment phase. I am fairly certain that in every state only a jury can impose the death penalty these days.

She had that wonderful joyful smile- whenever I see pictures of her smiling like that, I feel so sad and truthfully, I cannot believe she is gone. she was so full of life.

I would love to see video of an undercover female cop jogging at different times in the wee hours to see how many cars would circle back around looking for opportunity.

Neighbors raise concern about blight where Eliza Fletcher’s body was found

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WREG)– Many neighbors are concerned about the tall grass and vacant homes in the area surrounding the abandoned home where Eliza Fletcher’s body was found. The memorial …

It seems CA/H was familiar with the area where he dumped the body. As a juvenile he was a member of a gang called Lemoyne Gardens Gangstas. The Lemoyne Gardens site is about 2 miles from the dump site. Lemoyne Gardens was a housing project that has since been torn down.

The timeline is interesting here. A lot of impulsive acts.
1. Credit card theft on September 1, 2022. Woman reported this to the police.
2. Morning of September 2, 2022, Eliza is kidnapped.

Wonder what set this series of events? He doesn't bother to hide the body, yet he washes his clothes in the sink. Strange disconnect here.

It is noted in the article below that the police were aware of the theft and that the perpetrator had done it. But he was not arrested at that time.
