Still no trace of Eliza Fletcher , a 34-year-old teacher kidnapped last Friday while she was jogging around the campus of the University of Memphis .
Cameras in the area show a man approaching Eliza and, after a fight, forces her into a dark SUV . The woman's phone was later found destroyed along with her bottle of water in front of a university residence.
Now, while the police have already arrested a 38-year-old, Cleotha Abston , who lives in the apartment in front of which the offending car was parked and who was released from jail in 2020 after more than 20 years for the kidnapping of a lawyer, in the area of the kidnapping a corpse appears , on which there is no information at the moment, and which, however, tinges even more yellow a story with still poorly defined outlines.
Eliza Fletcher, who is also a mother of two , belongs to a well-known family in Memphis. His grandfather, Joseph "Joe" Orgill III, was the entrepreneur who led Orgill inc, one of the largest independent hardware distributors in the world, a company that has a turnover of $ 3.3 billion, has 5,500 employees and ranks 143rd. place in the Forbes ranking on the largest private companies in the United States.
Orgill III was also a philanthropist, who donated significant sums to the city's cultural institutions, parks and hospitals.
As for the kidnapping of Eliza, on which the family said they were ready for a reward of 50 thousand dollars for anyone who offers useful information, the police found evidence that "she suffered serious injuries".
