Tennessee prosecutors are seeking the death penalty Cleotha Abston, also known as Cleotha Henderson. He is charged with kidnapping and killing Memphis  teacher Eliza Fletcher.   Fletcher went missing while out on her morning run. Neighborhood video captured imaged of Fletcher being forced into an SUV.  The kindergarten teacher's body was found days later near vacant house less than a mile from the kidnapping site. Officers combing the area noticed footprints, tire tracks and “an odor of decay.”  A pair of purple Lululemon running shorts matching what Fletcher was last seen wearing, was found in a nearby trash can.  Abston, 39, is also charged in the rape of a woman in September 2021, but he was not arrested until after Fletcher's killing because the state crime lab hadn't gotten around to processing the sexual assault kit. Abston  has pled not guilty.  Joining Nancy Grace today: Matthew Mangino - Attorney, Former District Attorney (Lawrence County), Former Parole Board Member, Author: "The Executioner's Toll: The Crimes, Arrests, Trials, Appeals, Last Meals, Final Words and Executions of 46 Persons in the United States", MattMangino.com, Twitter: @MatthewTMangino Caryn Stark - NYC Psychologist, CarynStark.com, Twitter: @carynpsych, Facebook: "Caryn Stark" Lisa M.

Gun   Four Gwinnett County lawmakers, all Democrats, are urging Georgia Governor Brian Kemp to call a special session of the Georgia General Assembly to address gun violence. The call for a special session comes after recent mass shootings in Atlanta, Georgia, and Moultrie, Georgia, and a mall in Texas. The lawmakers wrote in a letter that gun violence has become a public safety crisis and that it is time for the General Assembly to address the issue. They requested the governor immediately call the session to discuss firearm-related public safety. The Georgia House Democratic Caucus announced legislators will hold a press conference on Wednesday morning to reiterate the call for a special session.    STORY 2:  Arrest   A juvenile has been arrested by Snellville police in connection with a shooting that occurred near South Gwinnett High School last week. The suspect has been charged with aggravated assault, but their name has not been released because they are a minor. The shooting took place during an alleged drug deal, and an 18-year-old was shot in the leg. As a result, nearby schools, including South Gwinnett High School, went on a soft lockdown for a few hours. Law enforcement has not provided any additional information about the case due to the ongoing prosecution.    Story 3: GGC   Dr. Jann Joseph, the President of Georgia Gwinnett College, recently discussed the state of the college in an interview with the Gwinnett Daily Post.

Surveillance footage from the American Deli showed the suspect to be a slim-built Black male wearing a white hoody and black or blue gym shorts. Anyone with information regarding the case is urged to contact detectives or Atlanta Crime Stoppers, where tipsters can remain anonymous and may receive a cash reward.   Story 5: Lights   Gwinnett County and the Sugarloaf Community Improvement District will partner to upgrade the lighting system under the Interstate 85 bridge at Sugarloaf Parkway. The current incandescent lighting system, installed in 1997, will be replaced with energy-efficient LED lighting. The project is expected to cost $195,000, with the county contributing $165,000 from 2017 special purpose local option sales tax funds and the Sugarloaf CID contributing the remaining $30,000. The upgrade is aimed at improving lighting and energy efficiency for drivers passing under the bridge.   Commercial: Lawrenceville -Ingles 2   “Here's Leah McGrath with Ingles Markets joining me to talk meat allergies:”   Leah piece   “Back with more in a moment”   Commercial:  GCPS connect   Story 6: Bones   The Gwinnett Medical Examiner's Office and DNA testing laboratory Othram Inc. are working together to solve a 25-year-old mystery surrounding two sets of bones, believed to belong to a teenager and an infant, found in Norcross. The bones were found in boxes at the intersection of Buford Highway and Weaver Way in 1998. Officials hope genealogical testing will provide answers to the identity of the children and how they died. The bones were exhumed legally from south Georgia, but it is not known where they were being transported. The tools found with the remains indicate the children likely died between 1900 and 1940.   Story 7: Wrestling   Jim Gassman has been approved as the new varsity wrestling coach at Jackson County High School in Georgia, USA. He will replace current coach Jason Powers who will be stepping away from the program. Gassman is currently the head wrestling coach at Mountain View High School and has coached 45 wrestlers who have become state placers and six who have won state championships.

Gwinnett County police are investigating a shooting that occurred in unincorporated Stone Mountain, leaving one man dead and another injured. The injured man entered Grady Hospital in Atlanta with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound and claimed to have been involved in a shooting at a home on Mountain Drive. Police responded to the home and found a dead man inside. Detectives are currently investigating the incident and trying to locate any witnesses who may have seen or heard the shooting. The motive and identity of the deceased male are currently unknown. Gwinnett County police are looking for suspects who are accused of trying to steal a catalytic converter from a car in a neighborhood near Duluth last month. Master Police Officer Hideshi Valle said a surveillance camera at the Walmart on Jimmy Carter Boulevard recorded two men purchasing tools on March 2. Two people matching the description of the men at Walmart were then seen with at least two other suspects a few hours later, shortly after midnight, trying to steal a catalytic converter from a 2014 BMW 435i on Saint Andrews Drive. The BMW's owner heard loud drilling noises outside his window and saw three people with tools around his vehicle, according to the police report. A white sedan that was running was next to the BMW as well.The owner grabbed his handgun and fired at least 10 through a window at the suspects. The vehicle began to pull away from the house and two of the suspects who had allegedly been trying to steal the catalytic converter ran after it and got inside it. The third suspect ran toward another house in the neighborhood. The suspects recorded buying tools at Walmart are described as Black men in their early 20s. One of them has a tattoo of a partial clock on the top of his left hand, and was wearing a black hoodie, shorts, socks and sliders on the day the theft occurred. The other suspect has tattoos on his right hand, and was wearing a blue zip-up hoodie, green sweatpants, gray socks and green Nike slides. Gwinnett County police are looking for a man who stole a leaf blower from a Home Depot in the Hamilton Mill area last week. Master Police Officer Hideshi Valle said the man is accused of walking in to the store, which is located at 2120 Hamilton Creek Parkway, on April 20 and put a RYOBI 18V HP Brushless Blower in a shopping cart and then leaving the store with the device without paying for it. Police said the leaf blower is worth $159. A police report states the man allegedly put the leaf blower in a dark blue passenger car before driving away in the vehicle. The report lists the vehicle as possibly being a Nissan, but the model was unknown. The suspect is described as an older White man with a colored tattoo on his left forearm, and who was wearing dark pants, a blue shirt that had the word "DIAMOND" printed on the front, and a brown or camouflage baseball cap at the time of the theft. Officials at the Gwinnett Medical Examiner's Office and private DNA testing laboratory, Othram Inc., are hoping genealogical testing will help them find answers regarding two sets of children's bones that were found in Gwinnett around 25 years ago. The bones were found in boxes at the intersection of Buford Highway and Weaver Way in February 1998. There is no complete set of bones for either child, one of whom is believed to have been an infant and the other is believed to be a teenager. The bones were exhumed legally, according to the letter found with the bones, from somewhere in south Georgia, but where is unknown. Speculation is that the bones were meant to end up somewhere else but fell from a vehicle when driving through Gwinnett. Officials also believe that the children died somewhere between 1900 and 1940 because the bones were found with burial tools from that era. Othram is purpose built to identify either victims or perpetrators in cases with no other leads. Currently Othram is trying to raise money to cover the cost of the testing. Buford racked up a season-high 15 hits Monday for a 10-1 victory over Peachtree Ridge in decisive Game 3 of their first-round series in the Class AAAAAAA state baseball playoffs. Ethan Murray, Brandon Taliaferro, Madden Young and Ayden Lockett led the Wolves' hitters. Murray's home run was his sixth of the season. The output was more than enough for winning pitcher Nate Taylor, who struck out eight and walked one over 6 2/3 innings in a three-hitter. The Wolves advance to host Walton in the second round on April 28 and 29. Wesleyan rallied for an 8-7 victory in walkoff fashion in Game 1, then got a dominant pitching performance from Dominick Scalese in the nightcap for a 3-0 win and a sweep of Hebron Christian in the first round of the Class AAA state baseball playoffs Monday. Scalese struck out 11 in a complete-game, two-hitter in Game 2 to finish off the sweep. Schley Gordy and Forrest Lietz had two hits each in the opener as the Wolves advanced to a second-round matchup at Ringgold on April 29 and May 1.

In this special update of Classic City Crime, host Cameron Jay explores how the case of an infant baby boy was solved. The infant, named Jonathan Foundling by investigators, was discovered in the basement bathroom of the Oglethorpe House Dormitory at the University of Georgia just over 27 years ago. In recent weeks, investigators at the University of Georgia Police Department informed the community that the baby's mother had been identified through Genealogical DNA testing provided by Othram Inc. The mother's name? Katherine Grant. Grant was a student at the University of Georgia in 1995 and 1996, before transferring to another school. She would return to the University of Georgia after graduation, working for the College of Veterinary Medicine until her death by suicide in 2004. In this first follow up episode, Cameron Jay sits down with Tracy Grant- the brother of Katherine Grant and the now-identified uncle of Jonathan Foundling to discuss the startling reality that is now his: not only did he have a nephew he knew nothing about, but police now believe his sister to be responsible for the baby's death. We also talk with a former colleague of Katherine's-- did she know anything was wrong?

The former public official charged in the death of  Las Vegas Review-Journal Investigative Reporter Jeff German now says he's being framed. Robert Telles called KLAS-TV asking for an interview to make his claims.   German was found stabbed dead outside his home. Days later, cops release surveillance video of a possible suspect in a wide-brimmed straw hat, an orange safety shirt, and black pants walking near the scene. More investigation revealed that German's reporting put him at odds with Telles. German reported that Telles created a toxic work environment and was having an extra-marital affair with an employee. These claims seem to have cost Telles his re-election bid. Investigators searched Robert Telles' home, towing a red SUV, and finding shoes with apparent blood on them. A straw hat matching the one shown in the video was also found. Both articles had been cut up in an effort to destroy evidence, but DNA under German's fingernails told police everything they needed to know.  Joining Nancy Grace Today: Matthew Mangino - Attorney, Former District Attorney (Lawrence County), Former Parole Board Member, Author: "The Executioner's Toll: The Crimes, Arrests, Trials, Appeals, Last Meals, Final Words and Executions of 46 Persons in the United States", MattMangino.com, Twitter: @MatthewTMangino Caryn Stark - NYC Psychologist, CarynStark.com, Twitter: @carynpsych, Facebook: "Caryn Stark"   Lisa M.

Dale Davis said that when he left the afternoon of the murders,  that water hose that he meticulously hung up  was on the ground in a video reportedly taken by Paul Murdaugh.   Roger Dale Davis Jr., cleaned the Murdaugh's dog kennels twice daily.  His routine involved hosing down the kennels with a hose.  Davis would them roll up the hose oto keep it from breaking or kinking and then hang it outside.   In the video, Davis pointed out, the hose had pressure on it, indicating that it had been used, and it was kinked.  Under cross-examination, Davis acknowledged not everyone was as careful as he was with the hose.      Joining Nancy Grace today:  Ted Williams - Defense Attorney, Former Washington DC Police Detective, Fox News Contributor, Starred in the nationally televised show, ‘Power of Attorney' Irv Brandt -Senior Inspector, US Marshals Service International Investigations Branch, Chief Inspector, DOJ Office of International Affairs; US Embassy Kingston, Jamaica, Author: “SOLO SHOT: CURSE OF THE BLUE STONE AVAILBLE ON AMAZON, ALSO "FLYING SOLO: Top of the World" Twitter: @JackSoloAuthor Dr. Michelle DuPre - Former Forensic Pathologist, Medical Examiner and Detective: Lexington County Sheriff's Department, Author: "Homicide Investigation Field Guide" & "Investigating Child Abuse Field Guide", Forensic Consultant, DMichelleDupreMD.com   Dr. Kristen Mittelman - Chief Development Officer, Othram Inc., Othram.com, DNAsolves.com, Twitter: @OthramTech Katie Kamin - Breaking News Anchor / Investigative Reporter, Live 5 News (Charleston, SC), Twitter: @KatieKaminTV, Facebook: "Katie Kamin TV" See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jeff German, a Las Vegas Review-Journal Investigative Reporter, is found dead outside his home. Now his alleged killer cries in court. Days later, cops release surveillance video of a possible suspect in a wide-brimmed straw hat, an orange safety shirt, and black pants walking near the scene. More investigation revealed that German's reporting put him at odds with elected Public Administrator, Robert Telles. Earlier this year, German reported that Telles created a toxic work environment and was having an extra-marital affair with an employee. These claims seem to have cost Telles his re-election bid. Investigators searched Robert Telles' home, towing a red SUV, and finding shoes with apparent blood on them. A straw hat matching the one shown in the video was also found. Both articles had been cut up in an effort to destroy evidence, but DNA under German's fingernails told police everything they needed to know. Telles has been arrested for German's murder, and held without bail.

Adnan Syed, convicted of killing teen Hae Min Lee more than 20 years ago, is free after a  Baltimore Circuit Judge overturned Syed's murder conviction.  Prosecutors and defense attorneys agreed that a yearlong investigation raised doubts about Syed's guilty finding, it was revealed that there were other possible suspects in Lee's strangling death. Prosecutors also noted that Syed was convicted partly due to cellphone data which was later found to be unreliable. Hae Min Lee was found strangled in a shallow grave in Leakin Park in 1999. Syed has been placed on home detention and must wear a GPS monitor.

A little girl's body, burned and buried in the desert of Arizona, is found by a tourist looking for rocks. For over 50 years, the girl is known only as  “Little Miss Nobody” as investigators are unable to confirm her race, age, or identity. An autopsy showed none of her bones are broken and there is no signs of  trauma before death. Now a name has been given, Sharon Lee Gallegos, 4.  Gallegos was reported abducted from her grandmother's home in Alamogordo, New Mexico, 10 days before her body was found.  Originally, FBI agents concluded that Gallegos was not the child found in the desert, as her footprints did not match the unidentified child's.
