Teacher (and Orgill heiress) Eliza Fletcher abducted while running in Memphis TN Fri. morning.

Seriously? Daily mail is a rag a step above national enquirer and two steps below NY Post. I’m sure habitual trolls like you and the 10 other obnoxious posters on this site can understand that. Of course their comments are more aggressive.

Everything you added is spot on. The dirt poor poverty, no hope crowd, has only gotten worse. My wife almost cried with joy when I got us out of Memphis. I worked not far from UofM and took Central Ave to work. Beautiful stately old homes only blocks from the hood. I would never run down Central other than maybe midday. I’m not blaming the victim at all, just saying no need to take chances. Nothing good happens late at night or early in morning. I’m especially saddened for her family. So much life to live, possibly gone.

While this is terrible, why should there be more footage of someone getting abducted at 4am?

Why do you think it was a hoax?

My husband suspicion alarm is firing like crazy, the husband being most commonly responsible in such cases, so here’s my conjecture:

I suspect she already had a nontrivial share of her family company transferred to her name, but she being who she is (seemingly at least) preferred to not monetize that share and choosing instead to continue her modest life as a JKG teacher, but the husband figured that he would be the automatic beneficiary of her assets if she died.

Anyone else can only have a ransom motivation that doesn’t appear to be the case, and if she didn’t already have her share of the company in her name, it would make no sense for the husband to want her dead.

No, not right. His first sentence was: "People sincerely putting forward the idea of running with a gun is utterly absurd."

Aussie Ob's point was that people like myself, who put forward the idea of running with a gun, are absurd people and its an absurd idea. In my response, I tried to point out to Aussie Ob that it is not an absurd idea, for certain reasons that he may not be aware of. You bolded the reasons above.

I know posters are recently giving you guys crap for the moderation, but this one doesn't need any explanation. That was an obvious deleted post. Stay the course.

Last two years? Nothing has changed then. It's always been a sheetshow.

Not even close.

Shocking that the more people live in a given area, the more shady sheet.

There have been too many instances of hoxes. Look at almost every missing teenager post on social media. I'm 90% of the cases it is some female that isn't missing, she willingly did something stupid because she met a boy or was told she could be a model.

In other cases it is arranged either by the victim (Smollett) or by a perpetrator (the spouse or other close family).

I don't know if that is the case here but I have stopped believing the initial headline. I wait until it all shakes out.

You find it Odd that the call was made 3 hours after she went running?? Anyone with kids, a family, and a work schedule would have that call made to authorities within 1-3 hours. She left at 4:30. She likely told her husband how far she was running and when to expect her back, because her return likelt also effected his departure to work, getting their kids up and dressed, and then she herself would need to be home and dressed for work.

Contrary to most of all the usual lets run posters who still live in their parents basements with no job and no schedule, most people who run in the AM and have children and families and jobs, all have a pretty strict schedule so when one doesn’t return from their run within the normal time frame authorities are called. Heck, I think my husband and kids wpikd be out looking for me if i was 30 minutes late.. it’s pretty normal

This first slide says the murder rate went up 25% in rural areas in 2020, but went up 30% in urban areas that same year. And that 30% jump is off a much higher baseline rate.

Yes, it said that homicides jumped 25%. However, that's still less than urban areas which had a 30% jump, but that jump was uneven. Chicago jumped from 500 to 800, Baltimore jumped from 200 to 350 in 2015, while cities like Virginia Beach, which has a Republican mayor and San Jose which doesn't really have any warzone areas stayed similar.

Would you rather live in a county of 80,000 where homicides jump from 4 to 5, staying under the national average, or in a city of 2.7 million where homicides jump from 500 to 800? You also won't get shot randomly in the small county - most of their homicides are domestic disputes, not gang shootings that can hit bystanders who aren't opps.

Yeah, Baltimore nearly doubling homicides turns it from a near warzone into a complete warzone. All Democrat-run, non-diverse cities are like this.

Memphis certainly has pockets of desperate poverty but I think you paint a much bleaker picture of the city than is the lived in reality. Outside of a few zip codes, the violent crime in Memphis is comparable to most other urban areas. Sure you could have your car broken into in the city but that is true of any urban area. I find all of the “high crime” cities suffer this same issue. St. Louis and New Orleans are fun and relatively safe if you know where not to be.

With regard to the race issue, you couldn’t be more wrong. I travel extensively and Memphis is one of the most integrated cities I’ve seen. In any given public space there is likely to be a very diverse mix of people. I just got back from Denver and was in Portland, Oregon a month ago and there were no black folks to be seen. It was shocking.

All that said, this particular crime is horrible and I really hope she is rescued.
