A woman out jogging in the morning is missing after being abducted off the street in Memphis, Tennessee.
Police reported, 34-year-old Eliza Fletcher was forced into a dark-colored SUV by an unknown individual near the University of Memphis at about 4:20 a.m., in the area of Central Avenue and Zach Curlin Street.
Fletcher is a teacher at St. Mary’s Episcopal School, and that she regularly runs in the area of the university.
St. Mary’s Head of School Albert Throckmorton confirmed Fletcher was kidnapped.
“We have not told our younger students about Mrs. Fletcher,” the letter reads. “We are supporting the older students as they learn of the news.”
Police said Fletcher was last captured on surveillance video wearing a pink sports top, blue shorts, and tennis shoes before she was abducted.
An image of the suspect’s vehicle was also released.
Fletcher is described as a white woman, standing 5 feet 6 inches and weighing approximately 137 lbs, with brown hair and green eyes.
Police ask that anyone who spots her or the suspect vehicle call 911 immediately.
The MPD can also be reached at 901-545-COPS.
The FBI and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation are also assisting with locating Fletcher.
Imagine being an attractive white woman in memphis and thinking it’s safe to jog alone at 4am
I fear for this woman.
I fear for this woman.
What in the hell is wrong with people? Out jogging 4:30 a.m. and one of the most deadly cities in the United States with no firearm on her person or no protection. I am not suggesting any way that it’s her fault but this is 2022 you can’t depend on law enforcement to be everywhere all the time you have to take responsibility for your own safety! The hell with your laws in these Democratic run cities carry a firearm if you’re going to be jogging at 4:30 in the morning and blow the stupid bastard’s head off if he tries to stuff you in a Van. Now ask me how I really feel!
What good is a firearm if you have someone surprise you from behind and a woman? yea sure but belly bands only work if you are able to wear one and then with one you sweat and the guns rust.
You know nothing about the way firearms work.. go back to your bridge and demand a .25 cent toll to cross you TROLL
I could not agree more with Thomas. We all must take responsibility for our own personal safety. To all men and women out there: If you are physically able, become trained in martial arts. If you do not want to become trained in how to safety use and carry a firearm, then at a minimum carry bear spray and let the perps have it between the eyes.
As Jeff Cooper of Gunsite Academy taught, become situationally aware. Know what’s going on around you. Don’t put yourself in dangerous situations. There is evil in this world. Accept that fact. Take off the rose colored glasses and prepare to defend yourself and your family.
Both of you are totally correct! At 4:30 am,anybody out there riding around that time of morning is up to no good! No good happens that time of day. Just like jogging or biking in bear or puma country without a weapon,just can’t be that naive! Sorry
We live in a dangerous world. The politicians enact laws that coddle criminals and judges continue to release violent offenders onto our streets. Until voters remove the leftists from office nothing will change. This young lady probably supported the liberal ideology and suffered the consequences. Keep cases like this in mind as the Leftists attempt to disarm you. Hopefully she will be found alive .
It’s totally sad that you have to be armed to go for a run on a college campus , unfortunately she did not make it and the suspect has been arrested and charged with kidnapping and murder He had actually already been to prison for kidnapping and released he should not have been out on the streets That leaves two little children to grow up without their mother because of a piece of scumbag that got thrown out back on society and all these people on here blaming her put it where the blame is deserved on him.
