The identification comes on the heels of the arrest of Cleotha Abston, 38, who was initially charged Sunday with especially aggravated kidnapping in connection to Fletcher's disappearance. Abston faces additional charges of first degree murder and first degree murder in perpetration of kidnapping, the Memphis Police Department announced Tuesday. Abston's arrest came after the Memphis Police Department police said DNA found on a pair of Champion-brand slides found in the street linked him to her.

Police on Monday announced they'd found a body found near the area where Fletcher disappeared. Tuesday, police announced the body was identified as Fletcher's. Officers discovered the body in a residential area roughly five miles from the University of Memphis' campus, where Fletcher was abducted.

Fletcher's abduction last week set off a large-scale search involving local, state and federal authorities. Fletcher was mother of two and teacher at St. Mary's Episcopal School in Memphis. She was also the granddaughter of the late Joseph Orgill III, a noted philanthropist who helped run the family-owned, Memphis-based hardware supply firm Orgill Inc.
