There was a heavy police presence for hours in South Memphis roughly 2 miles from an apartment complex where Cleotha Abston, the 38-year-old suspect, was seen “behaving oddly” and cleaning the interior of an SUV tied to the abduction case, an affidavit made public by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said, according to local reports.

Officers in the 1600 block of Victor located a “deceased party” at 5:07 p.m., the Memphis Police Department tweeted. The identity of this person and the cause of death were not confirmed, and police said the investigation was ongoing.
