The smell of meat rotten into the nasal cavity, and the case investigation seemed to have a new discovery.

Along the taste, the police came to an abandoned apartment backyard, where there was a rotten body, and the deceased was a woman.

On September 6, local time, the U.S. police announced that after verification, the deceased discovered the day before was the missing white female teacher Elissa Fletcher.

But what's more noticeable is Elisa's identity. She is the granddaughter of the late rich Joseph Ogil III and the heirs of hundreds of millions of family business.

At the moment of racial contradictions, the "Elissa victims" in the United States once again triggered discussions on women's security issues, even public activities.

And Ogil, the family business of the deceased, this low -key family business and the world's largest hardware supplier in the world also attracted widespread attention.

It was found that Joseph Ogil, the core figure of Eliza's grandfather and family business expanded to the world. He had been committed to local charity during his lifetime and promoted the resolution of racial contradictions that occurred in the late 1960s.

What is regrettable is that Joseph Ogil's granddaughter died in a black abduction and killing more than 50 years later.

Billions of rich grandson abduction cases

At 7 in the morning, Elisa had breakfast with two sons. But on September 2nd, local time, Elissa did not end the morning run and return home as usual.

Her husband, Richard Fletcher, felt wrong and called the alarm call.

After the surveillance video, the police confirmed that at 4 am, Eliza, who was wearing a pink running top and purple shorts in the morning, was held by a black man while running in the morning near Memphis University.

Elissa is a local kindergarten teacher, and his husband Richard is a crew. The wedding organized by the two in 2015 was rated by Memphis's local magazine at the annual wedding scene because of its poetic, natural and warm style.

The happiness of the Elissa family took a group photo

Elissa himself is also a girl who loves nature and character. Even though they were born in the well -known white wealthy family, Elissa did not rely on family businesses to make a living. After graduating from the University of Bellmont and obtained a master's degree in education, she became a kindergarten teacher at the Memphis Saint -Mary Association School.

When the news of Elissa's death confirmed, the kindergarten issued a statement on the social platform: "We lit the candle to commemorate Eliza, she is a beacon in our community. Elissa reflects our week in the children's chapel in children. The song sang, 'My little lamp, I want to let it glow. "

On weekdays, Eliza loves running and has participated in the Boston Marathon. However, it was this campaign that she loved to be captured by "death".

In the early morning of September 2nd, when she started from the home near the Central Garden as before, she ran near the University of Memphis, and a man had been waiting nearby.

When the man saw Eliza, he rushed past and forced Eliza to enter a black SUV co -pilot seat.

Monitor took this black SUV

The court records showed that Elissa "struggled during the kidnapping process" and "the rear passenger taillight area was obviously damaged." The court oath said that facts and physical evidence can be confirmed that Elissa has received serious injuries.

After the man kidnapped Eliza and drove away the scene, it was not until 6:45 that day, and a passerby passed here to discover the mobile phone and a pair of sports shoes left by Elissa.

After verification by the police, the human DNA sequence on the sneakers coincides with the DNA of Aston in the police database. The black SUV that appears in monitoring belongs to the Aston work unit and a local clean service company.

All evidence pointed to Aston, a black man who had kidnapped a local lawyer of Memphis 38 and 20 years ago.

On September 6, local time, Aston appeared in court to be tried

On September 3, local time, when the police came to Aston's house, he tried to escape and was subdued by the police.

On the same weekend, Aston's brother Mario Aston was also captured by the police, but he had nothing to do with this kidnapping case. The allegations were to hold drugs and weapons. Mario confirmed to the police that he saw his brother's performance very strangely: washing clothes on the sink of the house.

On September 4, Aston was charged with special serious abduction and tampering of evidence by the authorities. On September 5, he was added to a charges: a first -level murder. He has been detained.

Steve Mulroy, the local prosecutor of the Sheri County, where Memphis is located, may not be an isolated attack from strangers. At the local press conference, C.J. Davis, director of the Memphis Police Department, also said that it is not known whether more people are involved in it, and Fletcher's death place and method are still under investigation.

Family enterprise inherited to the 7th generation

"We believe that someone knows what happened and can provide help." Mike Gini said: "Most importantly, we want to see Lisa (Elissa nickname) safely home."

Mike Gini is a friend of the Ogil family. He is a foreign spokesman for the incident. On September 4, local time, Elissa's family also publicly posted a video of more than 1 minute, sending searches to the outside world for help, and promised $ 50,000 a reward.

In the video, Elissa's father, mother, husband, and brother stood on both sides of Mike Gini. They looked sad, and her husband Richard wiped tears from time to time. Behind them is the photo of Elissa.

In the photo, her golden hair, with a bright smile.

After Elissa's accident, her family also received much attention.

It is found that this seemingly ordinary kindergarten teacher, from the wealthy but low -key Ogil family from Memphis, and the seventh generation heir.

Although most people do not know the scope of Ogil's business, the company's official website shows that this is the world's largest private light industrial product distributor, providing more than 75,000 kinds of retailers in North America and the world in more than 60 countries in the world. Products and industry leading retail services.

In 2021, Ogill's sales reached US $ 3.2 billion, ranking 143 in the Forbes National Private Enterprise Ranking.

Recently, a U.S. cricket website showed that the prosecution and death information of Elissa's grandfather Joseph Ogil III had been retrieved many times.

In 2018, Joseph Ogil III died at the age of 80. A magazine in the United States published a confession: "He is a respected businessman and charityist in Memphis."

Billionaires Joseph Ogil III

Joseph claims to be "the person who sells hammers" and is the fifth generation of the Ogil family enterprise. After graduating from Yale University in 1959, he became a salesperson for family business Ogil.

Ogil is the oldest local company in Memphis. In 1847, 28 years after Memphis set up a city, Joseph Ogil partnered with R.T. Lam, mainly selling hardware for hardware.

The pioneering of a large number of colonists in the Mississippi River has stimulated a lot of demand for production tools, making Joseph Ogil's business endless.

Ten years later, "R.T. Lim" was renamed "Ogil Brothers Company", which was officially managed by the Ogil family.

Joseph Ogil III was the great -grandson of Ogil's founder. Since the mid -1950s, he has taken over family companies. Under his helm, Ogil developed rapidly and became the fastest hardware distributor in the United States.

Driven by Joseph Ogil III, Ogil continued to accelerate the pace of acquisition, and thanks to the developed aviation and railway transportation of the Mississippi and Memphis, Ogil has achieved a strong growth of the enterprise.

In order to accelerate the expansion and stabilize the internal management operation of the enterprise, in 1980, Joseph Ogil III made an amazing decision: boldly decentralized, put the company's daily management into professional managers. Provide suggestions and financial support.

At this time, Joseph Ogil III used some of his energy on charity.

Elisa with a brilliant smile

"He may come from the privileged class, but this does not mean that Joe does not believe in equality." Dr. Scott Moris, the local church of Memphis, said in an interview with the media.

"Helping others" is the principle of being a human beings. He serves others in various ways, and he will even send meals to the disadvantaged group in person, fund the cause of gallery and church health centers, and provide extensive medical services for poor workers.

In 1968, in the context of the American Civil Rights Movement, Sanxist workers broke out locally, and 1,300 black sanitation workers demanded work conditions and wages.

During this period, Martin Luther Kim was shot shot in Memphis's motel.

As a local financial corporate family, Joseph Ogil and cousin, former Mayor Mayor Edmond Ogil had participated in the mediation of sanitation workers' strikes, and they took the initiative to listen to the opinions of the striker. This was a racial progress at the time.

The racial contradiction behind the abduction

The case of Elissa's death has attracted the attention of the United States. Due to Memphist's special social background, the focus of discussion has gradually shifted to racial issues and two -party politics.

On September 6, local time, Fox news host Tucker Karson issued a disturbance to the Bayeon government on the victim of Elissa, blaming the root cause of tragedy on the inadequate public security and the government's inaction.

Calson believes that Memphis used to be the richest city in the United States, but now it has become the most dangerous city in the United States, and it cannot be removed with the local public security situation.

However, Biden supporters counterattacked Karson's point of view with "the victim's crime theory", and believed that Elessa violated the "default rules of people", that is, when they went out at some time, there would be risks that encountered unexpectedly. "Pay attention to a charming and privileged white woman is abducted by racism."

When Eliza was abducted, wearing running shorts

It has been more than 50 years since the sanitation workers' strikes, and racial issues are still a tricky problem for Memphis society.

According to the Memphis municipal website data, in 2015, Memphis's black poverty rate was 30.1%, which was higher than the national average of 26.2%, while black children's poverty rate was the highest in the United States, up to 43%.

At the same time, social order is worrying. In 2020, Memphis's violent crime rate was the first in the United States. According to public safety data, Memphis has reported at least 100 abduction incidents within this year. There are many historical reasons behind this. Memphis is the largest city in Tennessee. It was an important market for cotton and slave transactions. During the Civil War, it became the main base of the Southern Alliance. The total population of the city was 680,000, of which about 48%were black.

But now, there are many factors restricting the fairness and justice of Memphis.

Associate Professor Charles Santor at Memphis has studied the relationship between Memphis's transportation, urban form and social justice.

On the land of Memphis 324 square miles, the population is only 640,000. Compared with Boston, which has the total population of similar population but less than Memphis, the population density is too insufficient.

The dispersion of the population means the dispersion of social wealth.

At the same time, the logistics industry is the arteries of Memphis's urban economic development, and 20%of employment growth comes from the logistics industry. The Federal Express Headquarters is located at Memphis, and Memphis Airport is the world's second busy freight airport.

The logistics industry relies on a large number of cheap physical workers. These workers are scattered around Memphis, and it is difficult to form a scale of labor.

Memphis in the night

The Memphis passenger transportation system is insufficient. 69%of residents have more than 90 minutes of commuting time. Local transportation cannot meet the scattered population, employment, and wealth distribution. Various factors have led to increasing the gap between the rich and the poor of Memphis and breeding crimes.

On September 7, local time, the local police held a press conference to confirm Eliza's death.

Shortly after the press conference, the Memphis Police Station issued alarm. A 19 -year -old black man held guns with no different shot in the city and lived on the social platform to broadcast the entire murder process. This behavior eventually caused 4 deaths and three injuries.

54 years ago, Martin Luther Kim also assassinated in Memphis.

The day before the assassination, Martin Luther Gold delivered his last speech during his lifetime- "I have reached its peak", calling for more people to participate in the cause of ethnic equality.

However, half a century has passed, and racial contradictions are still a sensitive nerve in American society.
