I’ve been thinking about this. I can’t find mention of the type/OS phone she had. If she had an iPhone, husband could have triggered the “find my iPhone” alert and/or lost mode (able to put a message too with a phone number to call if found). If they had “family sharing”, very easy to do. Or even with just her password and browser.It was said the the bicyclist found the shattered phone and returned it to Richie, Eliza's husband. My question is how did he know that it was her phone?
was there some DNA checking or other factors involved.
I've been following this case from the start but no one seems to mention (on YouTube) how did the cyclist know?
DP attorney is an attorney qualified to argue a case where the death penalty is an option. Don't ever apologize for asking a serious question in here. We all were new once, and sometimes when we talk, we forget that not everyone may understand the terms that we may use. It was not a dumb question at all. It's always good to have new people on board who wish to actually be a part of discussions, rather than just lurk. Glad you joined us.I'm sorry if this is dumb but what/who is a DP attorney?
Replying to myself so I don’t edit - if he triggered the find alert, it’s a very very loud sound - the person that found it may have just been a passerby.I’ve been thinking about this.

It might be hard to "rehabilitate" willful predatory behavior.I am not stating anything. I am wondering if in 1995, when he got first arrest, at 12, diagnosis, prevention and rehabilitation would be still possible. Now, not at all.
Sorry. I can’t seem to be able to attach the actual photo but the link takes you to the photo.
Yes, @Arkay. It makes you sad and depressed and angry and determined. You almost have to go into a zone. While you are at the scene you have put aside your emotions. You become quickly focused on the task. You have to compartmentalize. You can’t think about the person you are seeing; not until later. In the moment, you observe. You take notes, photographs, and you look for the obvious; position of the body, signs of trauma, evidence, weapons. Despite your best efforts, you can become overwhelmed by the sights, by the smells.How can they not be so SAD all the time? Coming home from a workday that involves sifting the bloody ground for infinitesimal pieces of someone who was a vibrant woman just days ago. Or for evidence from the demon who did this to her.
Agree 100%.With just what we already know, alone, I cannot imagine many high-powered defense team would want to be anywhere near the courthouse when this finally goes to trial. I know, and agree, that every defendant in a criminal case is entitled to, and should be provided, a vigorous defense, but I doubt too many top-notch attorneys are going to be lining up to offer to be the one to provide it for him in this case.

No I really don't think that's correct.HE SERVED HIS ENTIRE SENTENCE OF 20 years. He was not released early, was not paroled etc. it is customary to serve 85% and he did. <modsnip> He was not let out, a 20 year sentence for a juvenile is extremely harsh sentencing. There is nothing <modnsnip> saying he should have been LWOP at that age. He was sentenced and served that sentence according to the law at the time.
According to this article, the earlier rape charge was while he was a teenager and against a MAN.Cleotha Abston charged with first-degree murder of Eliza Fletcher
Cleotha Abston-Henderson, 38, is accused of killing elementary school teacher Fletcher, 34, after bundling her into his car on Friday - with prosecutors confirming the pair had never met before.www.dailymail.co.ukBREAKING: Eliza Fletchers 'killer' could face the DEATH PENALTY as he's charged with first-degree murder of billionaire heiress and is refused bail
While this case is certainly fresh headlines right now, I would be shocked if there will be a need for a change of venue by the time this is ready for trial. Memphis has a population of close to 700,000, and it should not be terribly difficult to seat a jury, imo. I never cease to be amazed at how many people in a particular area are completely oblivious to what goes on in the news around them. And as to the likelihood of asking for a judge only trial, I highly doubt it. It would be far easier to convince at least one juror that this guy didn't murder Eliza than it would be to convince a judge. JMOMaybe he doesn’t want a woman as his attorney. He clearly has no respect for women.
Since Liza comes from a well connected family in Memphis, with, most likely, a social circle of the Memphis elite, I’m not sure any big names lawyers/firms would be quick to offer their services period, let alone pro bono.
Can’t imagine he’ll get anything other than a Public Defender.
At this stage in the proceedings I’m guessing that the Death Penalty is going to be on the table. The evidence that we know of is overwhelming so I can imagine what we don’t know is just going to be icing on the cake, with lots of icing.
Best this dude is going to get is a PD with DP experience that is just going to make sure everything follows the law and proper procedure is the order of the day.
If he pleads not guilty, which I think he will, they will need a change of venue as it’s going to be very hard to seat an impartial jury in Memphis. Could be hard to seat an impartial Jury anywhere. Might ask for a Judge only trial.
If he pleads guilty, saves the family from years of trials and hearings. The trauma of a drawn out trial, appeals, hearings will be so hard on the family. Maybe take DP off the table but it will be LWOP …buh by!!! FOREVER!

85% of 24 is 20.4 so the math adds up that he would be released after 20 years.No I really don't think that's correct.
"Shelby County, Tennessee, court records reviewed by Heavy show that Abston was charged with “especially aggravated kidnapping” in 2000. He entered a guilty plea, court records show. He received 24 years in prison, starting in November 2001.
According to Fox13 Investigates, Cleotha Abston was eligible for release after 85% of his 24-year prison sentence and got out “sometime in the past two years.”
He also was charged with aggravated robbery. His sentence for that count was 11 years, but it appears to have run concurrently, stemming from the same offense."
