Police took Fletcher’s alleged killer, Cleotha Abston, 42, into custody the day after her disappearance. DNA evidence at the crime scene led them to Abston, who once served 20 years in prison for kidnapping and other related charges. Authorities found him, the SUV they were looking for, and a pair of purple running shorts reportedly belonging to the victim.
Initially charged with kidnapping, the accused killer now faces first-degree murder charges as well. According to the affidavit, Abston’s own brother provided information implicating the felon. If convicted, he could face the death penalty in Tennessee.
Fletcher’s family released a touching statement about their lost loved one, thanking the community for the outpouring of support and asking for privacy to mourn and celebrate her life.
