MEMPHIS, Tenn. — (MEMPHIS, Tenn.) -- Surveillance video obtained by investigators shows missing Memphis teacher Eliza Fletcher being violently abducted during her early morning jog by a man matching the description of a suspect charged in the kidnapping, according to a criminal complaint filed in the case.

A massive search for Fletcher is ongoing and her family has offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to her whereabouts.

Abston allegedly tried to flee in the SUV, but a team of U.S. Marshals was able to quickly take him into custody, the affidavit states. Police said Fletcher remains missing and they, along with their local and federal partners, continue to search for her. The investigation into her abduction is"active and ongoing," police said.

Investigators also went to the location where the bicyclist found Fletcher's cellphone and the sandals, and obtained surveillance video from a business they said captured the abduction, the affidavit states. The security video, according to the affidavit, showed the black GMC Terrain initially driving by Fletcher as she jogged and then stopping in a parking lot ahead of her and waiting for her to come by.

Fletcher was wearing a pink jogging top and purple running shorts at the time of her abduction. She has brown hair and green eyes, weighs 137 pounds and is 5 feet, 6 inches tall, according to police.
