调查人员获得的监控视频显示,失踪的孟菲斯教师伊莱扎·弗莱彻(Eliza Fletcher)在清晨慢跑时被一名男子暴力绑架,根据该案件中提交的刑事诉讼,该男子符合绑架案中一名嫌疑人的描述。

对弗莱彻的大规模搜寻正在进行中,她的家人已经悬赏5万美元寻找能提供她下落的信息。

孟菲斯警察局周日早些时候通过推特宣布,38岁的Cleotha Abston被指控犯有特别严重的绑架和篡改失踪幼儿园教师案件的证据。

警方表示,他们在周六晚上拘留了阿布斯顿,此前他被发现在一辆SUV内,当局正在搜查与绑架有关的车辆。

谢尔比县治安官办公室周日公布了一份书面陈述,美国广播公司新闻频道(ABC News)获得了这份书面陈述。根据这份书面陈述,阿布斯顿是在一名女子的住所外被拘留的,该SUV注册在这名女子的名下,阿布斯顿当时就住在那里。

证词称,据称,阿布斯顿试图乘坐SUV逃离,但一队美国法警很快将他拘留。

周六早些时候,警方联系了阿斯顿的哥哥和另一名证人,他们都声称嫌疑人在周五早上7点50分左右出现在他们的家中,他们看到他在清洁SUV的内部,在水槽里洗衣服,并且“行为非常奇怪”,根据证词。

根据证词,警方怀疑34岁的弗莱彻在绑架过程中受了“重伤”。根据证词,在干洗店工作的阿布斯顿在接受询问时,拒绝告诉调查人员任何关于弗莱彻的下落。

据警方称,阿布斯顿的哥哥,36岁的马里奥·阿布斯顿,目前被认为与绑架无关,也因毒品和枪支指控被捕。

警方表示,弗莱彻仍然失踪,他们与当地和联邦合作伙伴一起,继续寻找她。警方表示,对她被绑架的调查“正在积极进行中”。

据警方称,弗莱彻最后一次被看到是在田纳西州西南部孟菲斯大学校园附近的孟菲斯市中心的中央大道和扎克·科林街附近慢跑,时间是当地时间周五早上4点20分左右,然后一名男子靠近她,并强迫她进入一个深色的GMC地形。警方称,越野车在中央大道上向西行驶。

根据警方的证词,弗莱彻的丈夫理查德·弗莱彻(Richard Fletcher)在周五早上7点左右报告她失踪,告诉调查人员她从未在早上4点的例行慢跑后回家。

根据证词,一名骑自行车的人告诉调查人员,周五早上6点45分左右,他正在中央大道附近骑车,发现街上有一部属于伊莱扎·弗莱彻(Eliza Fletcher)的手机,还有一双冠军滑板鞋。根据宣誓书,这些凉鞋在田纳西州调查局的实验室进行了测试,据称含有Cleotha Abston的DNA。

证词称,调查人员还去了骑自行车的人发现弗莱彻手机和凉鞋的地方,并从一家公司获得了监控录像,他们说这家公司捕获了绑架事件。根据证词,安全视频显示,弗莱彻最初在慢跑时驾驶黑色GMC Terrain,然后停在她前面的停车场,等待她过来。

“一名男性从黑色的GMC地形中出来,咄咄逼人地向受害者跑去,然后强迫受害者伊莱扎·弗莱彻进入车辆的乘客侧。在绑架过程中,似乎有过搏斗,”证词中写道。

根据证词,调查人员援引视频说,这辆SUV和受害者一起在停车场坐了大约四分钟,然后开走了。

证词称,在绑架前大约24分钟,视频还捕捉到了同一辆SUV在绑架现场。

弗莱彻被绑架时穿着粉色慢跑上衣和紫色跑步短裤。据警方称,她有着棕色的头发和绿色的眼睛,体重137磅,身高5英尺6英寸。

在确认了阿布斯顿留在绑架现场的凉鞋上的DNA后,调查人员得知这辆SUV注册在一个和阿布斯顿住在一起的女人名下。根据证词,调查人员还了解到,阿布斯顿在一家干洗店工作,并从他的老板那里获得了他的手机号码。

根据证词,调查人员通过对手机的分析确定,绑架发生时手机就在附近。

根据证词,在调查阿布斯顿在绑架前后的行踪时,警方从当地一家电影院获得了安全视频,显示阿布斯顿周四穿着一双冠军滑凉鞋。

孟菲斯的圣玛丽主教学校在一份声明中说社交媒体上的声明弗莱彻是女子预科学校一位“受人爱戴”的初级幼儿园老师。

弗莱彻的叔叔迈克·基尼在视频中说:“我们首先要感谢所有人的祈祷和支持,”弗莱彻的父母、兄弟和丈夫等家人都围在他身边。

“丽莎触动了许多人的心,这是显而易见的,”他补充道。

Video shows violent abduction of missing Memphis jogger: Criminal complaint

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.

A massive search for Fletcher is ongoing and her family has offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to her whereabouts.

The Memphis Police Department announced via Twitter early Sunday that 38-year-old Cleotha Abston has been charged with especially aggravated kidnapping and tampering with evidence in the case of the missing kindergarten teacher.

Police said they detained Abston on Saturday evening after he was found inside an SUV that authorities were searching for in connection with the abduction.

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 allegedly tried to flee in the SUV, but a team of U.S. Marshals was able to quickly take him into custody, the affidavit states.

Earlier Saturday, police contacted Aston's brother and another witness, who both claimed the suspect showed up at their home around 7:50 a.m. on Friday and they saw him cleaning the inside of the SUV, washing his clothes in a sink and "acting very strangely," according to the affidavit.

Police, according to the affidavit, suspect the 34-year-old Fletcher suffered "serious injury" during the abduction. During questioning, Abston, who works at a dry cleaner, refused to tell investigators anything about Fletcher's whereabouts, 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.

Fletcher was last seen jogging in the area of Central Avenue and Zach Curlin Street in midtown Memphis, near the University of Memphis campus in southwest Tennessee, on Friday morning at approximately 4:20 a.m. local time, before she was approached by a man and forced into a dark-colored GMC Terrain, according to police. The SUV took off, traveling westbound on Central Avenue, police said.

Fletcher's husband, Richard Fletcher, reported her missing around 7 a.m. on Friday, telling investigators she never returned home from her regular 4 a.m. jog, according to the police affidavit.

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.

Investigators also went to the location where the bicyclist found Fletcher's cellphone and the sandals, and obtained surveillance video from a business they said captured the abduction, the affidavit states. The security video, according to the affidavit, showed the black GMC Terrain initially driving by Fletcher as she jogged and then stopping in a parking lot ahead of her and waiting for her to come by.

"A male exited the black GMC Terrain, ran aggressively toward the victim, and then forced the victim Eliza Fletcher into the passenger's side of the vehicle. During this abduction, there appeared to be a struggle," the affidavit states.

Citing the video, investigators said the SUV sat in a parking lot with the victim inside for about four minutes before it drove off, 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.

Fletcher was wearing a pink jogging top and purple running shorts at the time of her abduction. She has brown hair and green eyes, weighs 137 pounds and is 5 feet, 6 inches tall, according to police.

After confirming Abston's DNA on the sandals left at the kidnapping scene, investigators learned the SUV was registered to a woman Abston lived with. Investigators also learned that Abston worked at a dry cleaners and obtained his cellphone number from his boss, according to the affidavit.

Investigators determined through an analysis of the cellphone that it was in the vicinity of the abduction when it occurred, according to the affidavit.

While investigating Abston's whereabouts before and after the kidnapping, police obtained security video from a local movie theater that showed Abston there on Thursday wearing a pair of Champion slide sandals, according to the affidavit.

St. Mary's Episcopal School in Memphis said in astatement on social mediathat Fletcher is a "beloved" junior kindergarten teacher at the all-girls prep school.

Fletcher's family released a video statement through the Memphis Police Department on Saturday, pleading for her safe return.

"We want to start by thanking everyone for their prayers and outpouring of support," Fletcher's uncle, Mike Keeney, said in the video while surrounded by members of their family, including Fletcher's parents, brother and husband.

"Liza has touched the hearts of many people and it shows," he added.

The family urged anyone with information on the case to contact authorities. They are offering a $50,000 reward for information that leads to Fletcher's safe return.

"More than anything, we want to see Liza returned home safely," Keeney said. "We believe someone knows what happened and can help."

Anyone with information on Fletcher's whereabouts can call the Memphis Police Department at either (901) 528-2274 or (901) 545-2677, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-TBI-FIND, or to dial 911.
