A decomposing body found in the tall grass behind a vacant building has been identified as Memphis teacher Eliza Fletcher.

The mom of two vanished last Friday during an early morning jog. Less than a mile from the kidnapping site, officers combing the area noticed footprints, tire tracks and “an odor of decay.”

A pair of purple Lululemon running shorts matching what Fletcher was last seen wearing, was found in a nearby trash can.

Cleotha Abston, 38, was caught on video forcing Fletcher into a vehicle. He was also seen at around 7:30 a.m. at his brother's home, cleaning the vehicle and washing his clothes.

Abston has been charged with first-degree murder, especially aggravated kidnapping, and tampering with evidence.
