Eliza Fletcher – Heinous, Senseless, Murder – Safety Tips from Tasha Ina Church

  • Hello Runners!This must stop! Another young woman was violently murdered while out for a run!Eliza Fletcher from Memphis, wife, mother of two boys, and a Kindergarten teacher, was out for a run on Friday, September 2, 2022. She was running at about 4:00 AM, just doing what she loved, when he violently attacked, abducted, and murdered her. This psychopath dumped her body behind an abandoned house in tall grass. This murder was a heinous, senseless, and disgusting crime by a sick, psychopath, fucking animal of a so-called human being. And it pisses me off—no reason for this whatsoever. I talk about Eliza and other murdered female runners in this episode, and I don't hold back. However, if you are sensitive to a little rough language, please be aware, and I apologize in advance for my language. I also replay an interview in late 2020 with Self Defense Instructor Tasha Ina Church. She went through a very uncomfortable episode while running with a male scumbag following her. Tasha knows over 850 Self Defense moves. And even so, this encounter shook her to the core. We talk about that, and Tasha provides valuable self-defense tips and techniques. Even one of them can save a life. Very much worth a listen.
