Because they are disgusting, judgmental twots who think the victims deserve it.

Of course they should have that right, but unfortunately in the world we live in, sh!t’s going to happen. There are horrible people who rape and murder. That is NEVER going to change, no matter what we do. So plan accordingly.

No, we shouldn’t victim blame but we also shouldn’t underestimate the value of common sense.

Memphis news refers to her as “a mom of two and a teacher”.
Cleotha had more separate charges filed against him for theft and identity fraud from stealing a wallet at his job and using it - as his uncle said in an interview he is positive he did it and the whole family is crazy.

The fundamental lesson in Eliza Fletcher’s death is that even being a ‘billionaire heiress’ doesn’t make one immune to male violence against women, which is epidemic in human society.

Eliza didn’t die because she jogged at 4:30am. This monster could have perpetrated the very same abduction with the same results at 4:30 in the afternoon. Another story of a woman and child abducted in Memphis in broad daylight has been running in the media along with this one.

Eliza is not responsible for her abduction and horrific murder. Only her kidnapper/murderer is responsible.

Reading this thread and all the victim blaming from other women has sickened me. No wonder we make so little progress in the fight against misogyny. Women are raising the men who rape and murder women. How many women here would defend a son against sexual harassment or assault allegations by talking about the slutty way the girl was dressed and how she drank so much at the party?

RIP Eliza. I’m sorry you lived in a society with so many women who hate other women and get some kind of twisted satisfaction when a woman is killed who isn’t them.

Female misogynists are created by the patriarchy. They too are terrified of male violence, so they cling to things like the victim’s clothing or behavior to convince themselves that it won’t happen to them. They’re relieved when another woman is raped or murdered because they know it’s inevitable, and it’s another day that the victim isn’t them. It’s absolutely tragic.

The ugly truth

I can hardly believe there are mature adult women posting here who actually believe the twisted thinking posted above.

Sorry for this insignificant question but do long distance runners usually carry sandals with them on runs? I thought it was a little strange that she had these with her.

They were the abductor’s slides, not hers. They either fell off his feet when he was violently shoving her into the car or fell out of the car in the struggle.

Those were the kidnapper's slides found at the scene.

The slides that were found at the scene? I didn't know they were hers--I assumed they were his (the suspect) because the news reports say that they were able to trace it to him because of DNA on them.

DNA from sandals found in the street near the site of Eliza Fletcher’s disappearance led police to charge a suspect in connection with her disappearance...

“During this abduction, there appeared to be a struggle,” the document said. “The Champion slides sandals were found in this area.

Leave it to the status-obsessed people of DCUM to refer to her as a "billionaire heiress" instead.
