Abducted Eliza Fletcher: Memphis teacher's husband spotted day after her disappearance

As the search for abducted Memphis teacher Eliza Fletcher continued Saturday, her husband was spotted outside their home. She was abducted Friday morning while on a run.

The Memphis Police Department's search for abducted kindergarten teacher Eliza Fletcher continued Saturday, more than 24 hours after her disappearance.

Fletcher, an avid athlete, was on a run early Friday morning on Central Avenue near the University of Memphis when she was abducted and forced into an SUV that the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) later identified as a GMC Terrain.

MPD told Fox News Digital on Saturday that it does not currently have a license plate for the suspect vehicle and that a blurry photo TBI released Friday is the only available footage of the SUV in question.

"The investigation into the abduction of Eliza Fletcher is still active and ongoing. Investigators are continuing the search and following all leads. No arrests have been made relative to this case," Memphis police said in a Saturday afternoon tweet.

Police found some of Fletcher's belongings at the scene on Central Avenue. They were also told that a male approached Fletcher and forced her into a dark SUV after a struggle.
