Transcripts For FOXNEWS America Reports 20240707

Billionaire heiress in memphis. Police confirming a short time ago the body found monday afternoon is that of missing Kindergarten Teacher and mother of two Eliza Fletcher. The suspect in the disappearance is now charged with firstdegree murder. Great to be back with you, john. John good to see you as well, sandra. This is America Reports. Sad news to start us off. Fletcher had been missing since going on a jog early friday morning. Surveillance video shows a man believed to be Cleotha Abston henderson exit his truck and aggressively run toward fletcher. The man then forces fletcher into his car. Sandra Court Documents say he was seen cleaning his truck and acting strange before the attack. He is a convicted kidnapper, spending nearly 20 years in prin for a similar crime carried out back in 2001. John Criminal Defense Attorney with more on this in moments, but Charles Watson is in memphis. Whats the latest, charles, and the charges against the suspect . Good afternoon, unfortunately the Memphis Police department confirming the Human Remains that was found in South Memphis monday evening is that of Memphis School teacher and mother of two, and Cleotha Abston henderson charged with firstdegree murder and firstdegree murder in interptration of murder and tampering charges. Outcome of this investigation is not what we hoped for, we are nonetheless pleased to remove this dangerous predator off the streets of memphis. So in court this morning prosecutors asked the judge to revoke Abston Hendersons 500,000 bond, but because the new murder and kidnapping charges were not on the docket today, the judge kept his bond in place telling prosecutors to submit a formal motion to be taken up at another hearing. All of this unfolding after police say they discovered fletchers body in a residential neighborhood in South Memphis monday evening. Her body was located in an abandoned home less than a mile away from the Apartment Collection where Abston Henderson was seen cleaning the floors of a gmc terrain, the same black suv they say fletcher was forced into on security footage as a man aggressively rushed here during an Early Morning jog on the University Of Memphis campus last friday. Guys, i mention Abston Henderson is in prison right now on a 500,000 bond. He is not expected to post bond. He said in court this morning that he was unable to afford the 50 the 10 that hes expected to put up for that bond. Again, the judge asking the prosecution to file a formal motion that is expected to be heard at a hearing some time wednesday morning. Guys. John well keep following that, thanks very much. Appreciate it. Sandra. Sandra Criminal Defense Attorney, tragic ending to the story although the investigation is ongoing. What do the authorities do next as far as determining a motive, why this man decided to kill this amazing mother of two and teacher to many . My heart goes out to the family, it is just the worst allegations involved. They dont have to establish a motive, to answer the question. Good news is you dont always know and so the law then says you dont ever have to have a motive. A guy who allegedly did this has been to prison for 20 years. He may just like to do stuff like this, he may be that tormented, that disturbed that thats his thing. Prosecutors dont have to prove motive. Sandra the ladies on outnumbered, the moms take the kids to school, and they try to get in workouts, and her case early in the morning, any sort of habit or trail that you do on a continual basis, five days a week, someone could see you doing that. He do have been lurking and know she did runs early in the morning. We know he was lurking the 20, 25 minutes before she entered sort of his web, if you will. The Surveillance Video did show that he was wandering in that area for quite some time before she ran through. Thats correct. And if you believe what the police are saying, no reason to doubt them, this guy is a predator and so predators get out there and they look for people who may be vulnerable, and it would not surprise me if he studied her movement and then acted on it. Sandra he had a rap sheet, he went to jail, he was serving 20 years for already a similar crime, aggravated kidnapping. You look back as a juvenile he had a long record. Should this man have ever been walking freely in the streets . In theory, no. But 20 years is a pretty long sentence. I would defer to the prosecutors and the judge who signed off on that agreement. But what i dont like is that he currently has a bond. I dont think that thats appropriate. And while hes indigent, there could be somebody out there who somehow sees that this is a high profile case, decides to put down the 10 on the 500,000 bond and he gets out. That to me would be a miscarriage of justice. I think the judge needs to revoke bond immediately. Sandra we know he as far as his representation is concerned, hes been issued a Court Appointed attorney, has been enlisted to represent him. The judge scheduled a second court date now that is expected wednesday, tomorrow. September 7, 9 00 a. M. What happens next here, mark . He enters a not guilty plea, not saying im innocent, hes saying ok, not guilty is also equal to not proven because we dont have any evidence now and he does enjoy the Presumption Of Innocence in a court of law and then the Court Appointed attorneys will work the case as i do i on all of my homicide evidence, make sure everything was seized constitutionally and prove the case, and then go to trial or plea bargain down the road. Sandra we will be watching it all, sad, tragic story that we have been watching for quite some time and we know that after his arrest he did not help authorities find her body. They had to do it on their own. Well be watching all of it. Thank you very much for joining us on that. My pleasure. John heartbreaking story. President biden set to hold a Cabinet Meeting nine weeks ahead of the midterm elections, this comes after days of trying to rally his base by stepping up his attacks against socalled Maga Republicans. I want to be very clear, very clear up front. Not every republican, not even the majority of republicans are Maga Republicans. Not every republican embraces their extreme ideology. I know, ive been able to work with these mainstream republicans. The extreme Maga Republicans in congress have chosen to go backwards full of anger, violence, hate and division. John bidens continuing the theme of railing against his political opponents, he has not received Additional Campaign invitation to say come out and stump for various democratic candidates, well be talking more about all of this as we get closer and closer to the midterms this afternoon, sandra. Sandra looking forward to that, and bret baier will be joining us, and a look back at last week and that big moment with the president On Thursday Night that so many are still talking about, easy to roll back the tape, right, john, on the many times candidate joe biden, newly elected president joe biden, committed to uniting the country on what we heard On Thursday Night was not that. John and wind the clock back to 2012, as well, for similar statements. So, all of this headed your way in the next, oh, two hours, i guess. Sandra an hour and 50, all right. Thanks, john. Meanwhile, Customs Agents finding more than 200,000 Fentanyl Pills in a massive drug bust in arizona. 47,000 of them as we mentioned, colors of the rainbow, looking again like candy or colored chalk, making them look more like candy even than deadly poison. Here is a live look at the border for you. Eagle pass, texas as the Migrant Surge is weighing heavily on Border Patrol agents there, recent heavy rain is making the trek across the rio grande even more dangerous. Garrett tenney is live in eagle pass, texas. Garrett, what are you seeing today, whats happening now . Sandra, now that the water levels are starting to go back down we are starting to see more migrants crossing the river today. A lot of them have been waiting for just that to happen after 13 migrants drown late last week in what is now the Deadliest Mass Drowning event here in years. This morning our cameras caught several large groups of more than 200 that had just come across and were being processed by Border Patrol. Most large groups are coming from venezuela, mostly adult men and women with a handful of families, but in the last three days alone, despite the slower than normal traffic, nearly 2700 migrants have crossed the southern border, including ten Sex Offenders, four gang members, and one murderer who were taken into custody by Border Patrol. Over the weekend, cbp officers had a huge drug bust at the Port Of Nogales in arizona, found 47,000 colored rainbow Fentanyl Pills along with 186,000 blue Fentanyl Pills and 6. 5 pounds of meth, all hidden below the floor board of a car coming across the border. As we have record, cartels are using the Rainbow Fentanyl to drive Drug Addiction in americas children, and a former Special Agent with ice says what agents are able to recover is likely just a fraction of whats making it through. When we see the increase in seizures of this type, its not a good thing. That means that we are getting swamped with fentanyl, methamphetamine, heroin continuing to pour into this country. Late last week we learned that troopers in arizona uncovered 46 pounds of Fentanyl Pills that were being smuggled from nogales across the border into phoenix. Sandra. Sandra it is just becoming all too common. Live in eagle pass for us, thank you. John. John more on this with tom homan coming up as well. Sandra indeed, a lot of questions for him and how we can tackle this, it is a growing crisis in this country, john. John what a tragedy, 13 people drown trying to get across the river.

Sandra a federal judge has granted former president trumps request for a Special Master to oversee the documents seized from the fbi raid on maralago and the decision marks a win for trumps legal team but some experts warn its irrelevant as they have likely reviewed the documents already. Jonathan turley is standing by, but david spunt is live at the Justice Department. How long could it take for a Special Master to get through all the documents . David its going to be a while, sandra. 11,000 documents taken from maralago, a Special Master will go through the majority of those documents in simple terms, this movement to have a Special Master appointed will slow down the department of justice investigation. No question this is a legal victory for the trump team for his attorneys, even if a temporary victory. This order yesterday on labor day by the judge, a federal judge in South Florida appointed by donald trump in 2020, she says a Special Master is in order. She heard oral arguments last week in person from trumps attorneys and federal prosecutors and after nearly a twohour Court Session and a long weekend to think about it made her decision. Wrote a Special Master will be appointed to review seized property, and continued, the government is tempo temporarily enjoined from further review and looking for criminal investigative purposes, pending resolution of the Special Master services, and however the director of National Intelligence to determine the classification levels of the documents will not stop that continues. The Justice Department is working alongside haynes, the actual investigation into donald trump, no question, slows down with the appointment of a Special Master. If the department of justice appeals, we have a live picture right now of the 11th Circuit Court of appeals in atlanta, georgia, a threejudge panel would hear the case if doj appeals. At this point theres no indication doj will appeal, that could come at any point. Of the 11 judges on the court, six were appointed by president trump, the government is looking over the judges order. They expect the department of justice to appeal john and sandra because its so high stakes, back to you. Sandra youve been on it since the beginning, youll keep us posted. David spunt, thank you very much. John see what the doj does. Jonathan turley, George Washington law professor and fox news contributor. In the arguments, doj said the appointment of the Special Master was too late but you said it still has a lot of value. I think it does, and for all the people making both these arguments, a little conflicted. Some say it does not matter and then others but its going to destroy the investigation. And shes well beyond her limits. The attacks on this judge are really astounding, i mean it is part and parcel what we have seen the last six years. But this judge is taking a modest step, in my view, to reassure the public, to address the constitutional questions. The fact is that the doj was unlikely to issue any indictment before the midterm elections. In 60 days. This does not prevent t
