Summary

In the early hours of September 2, 2022, 34-year-old wife and mother of two Eliza Fletcher went out for a ten mile run. She had been training for a marathon, and found that the earlier she went out for her runs, the more time she had later in the day to spend with her two young sons. But in the middle of this run, she was shot and killed. Her body was found three days later, and the culprit, 40-year-old Cleotha Abston, was caught and charged for killing this woman for no reason at all.
