This wasn’t the 40-year-old’s only run-in with the law. Abston, who previously served 20 years in prison for the 2000 kidnapping of a Memphis attorney, was sentenced to 80 years this year in a separate 2021 rape case, NBC News confirmed.

“We miss the bright light of Liza’s life every day,” the family said after the guilty plea in a statement obtained by NBC affiliate WSMV. “Liza meant so much to so many, and her smile radiated happiness, energy, and comfort.
