The Eliza Fletcher Case: The DNA Evidence That Came Too Late

Eliza Fletcher started her morning exercise routine at 4:00 a.m. in the city of Memphis. However, just minutes after starting her jogging routine, she became a victim of abduction in a horrific crime that was recorded through CCTV cameras. As more information came to light regarding the accused criminal’s background, there arose questions on whether this incident could have been avoided.

Alicia Franklin, 22, in a bombshell interview, said that if sex crimes investigators had done their jobs properly, #ElizaFletcher, who was kidnapped and killed while jogging through Memphis on Sept 2 could still be alive. 'They had more than enough evidence to get him off the street.” Cleotha Abston-Henderson, 38, is now charged with raping Franklin nearly a year ago -- but the charges were not filed until after he was arrested and charged with the murder of Fletcher. Henderson pleaded not guilty to the murder but has not yet answered the rape charges. While DNA evidence from Fletcher's abduction was tested within hours, the rape kit in Franklin's case sat on a shelf for months, and she says police failed to take basic steps such as gathering fingerprints after she was violently assaulted. In Sept 2021, Franklin says she met a man she only knew as 'Cleo' through the online dating app Plenty Of Fish, and agreed to meet him in a large apt complex in southeast Memphis. His invitation had originally been to meet for dinner at Olive Garden, but when Franklin said her car was riding on a spare tire and she didn't want to drive that far, they agreed to meet at what he said was his apt. But when she arrived, she says Henderson held a gun to her neck and led her inside one of the apartments, which appeared to be empty & under renovation. There, he blindfolded her with a T-shirt and led her to a Dodge Charger, where he assaulted her, and then took her back into the apartment. It was a terrifying ordeal that she did not expect to survive. After the assault, Franklin immediately reported he crime and went to a rape crisis center when evidence was collected. Franklin says police failed to fingerprint her phone, and dropped the ball on a vital clue -- the address of the apartment where the attack occurred. According to a police incident report, the apartment is located at 5783 Waterstone Oak Way, just doors away from where Henderson appears to live, and where he was arrested for Fletcher's murder a year later. #DailyMail @wonderwombman @wonderwombman2 #Share #Comment https://www.instagram.com/p/Cix41t0unNZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
