A man has been arrested in connection with the abduction of a Memphis woman who never returned from her early morning jog, police said.
Surveillance video obtained by investigators shows missing Memphis teacher Eliza Fletcher being violently abducted during her early morning jog by a man matching the description of a suspect charged in the kidnapping, according to a criminal complaint filed in the case.
An affidavit of the complaint made public Sunday by the Shelby County Sheriff's Office, and obtained by ABC News, said Abston was taken into custody outside the home of a woman the SUV is registered to and where Abston was residing, according to the affidavit. Abston's brother, identified as 36-year-old Mario Abston, who is currently not believed to be linked to the abduction, was also arrested on drug and firearm charges, according to police.
A bicyclist told investigators that he was riding in the area of Central Avenue around 6:45 a.m. on Friday and found a cellphone that belonged to Eliza Fletcher lying in the street along with a pair of Champion slides sandals, according to the affidavit. The sandals were tested at the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation's lab and allegedly contained Cleotha Abston's DNA, according to the affidavit.
The video also captured the same SUV in the area of the kidnapping about 24 minutes prior to the abduction, the affidavit alleges.
