A trial date of Feb. 10, 2025, has been set for the man accused of killing Memphis teacher Eliza Fletcher in 2022. The Daily Memphian reports that Cleotha Abston, also known by the surname Henderson, will face two counts of first-degree murder, especially aggravated kidnapping, unlawful possession of a weapon and tampering with evidence in the Fletcher case. In May, Abston was sentenced to 80 years in prison for the 2021 rape of Alicia Franklin.
