Dallas area joggers and running club members are revisiting safety measures after a Memphis woman was kidnapped and killed recently
in Memphis, Tenn. appeared before a judge on Wednesday. Fletcher, a mom of two, wife and teacher was going for a 4 a.m. run last Friday when she was abducted.
"It's devastating to the running community," said Ashley, a runner on the Katy Trail in Dallas Wednesday afternoon."We should be able to run where ever we want and be safe, but unfortunately that's not the case." Across the country, it's not uncommon to see people running early in the morning or late at night as they try to squeeze a run into the day. Everyone's motivation to hit the pavement is different, whether that's to get fit, decompress, socialize or have some 'me' time. Regardless of the reasoning, it's a therapeutic moment, which is why many are stunned by the violent and surprising act that happened to Fletcher.
