Murder In Memphis: The Case Of Lorenzen Wright

Memphis, Tennessee. A part of the world with a big history, one that is rich in creativity and culture with many a talent coming out of there, and many a big moment that contributed to the history books.
One person that saw their career catapult to new heights after moving to Memphis, was 34 year old pro basketballer, Lorenzen Wright.
Lorenzen was at the top of his game, having played in the NBA for 13 seasons.
But in July 2010, Lorenzen would disappear after making a disturbing 911 call...

SHE ended up in jail because of HER actions. Narcissistic psychopath.

[@sarahholland2600]

If you Google, the qualifications needed are minimal & training takes 2 weeks. That says it all.

When the wife told the cops that Lorenzen left with a box of drugs and that he said he was going to flip something for 100k on the phone, made me suspicious of her involvement. She tried to tarnish his name. That dispatcher clearly doesn't know her job. Hears that many shots and don't report to follow up....wow.

[@peggypeggy4137]

I agree. I have seen many times where the potential suspect makes the missing person sound like they live a high risk lifestyle to throw the police off of their trail. That alone could have even made cops suspicious of her because he had a good reputation according to all who knew him.The only risk in his life was being married to her. By all accounts Lorenzen lived a very clean life. His wife was incredibly greedy, just downright evil.

[@Mminneaux]

As a 911 operator, how can you receive a call for help, ACKNOWLEDGE all you hear are GUNSHOTS, and then say “oh, they never responded. Must have been the wind. Nbd” and NEVER FOLLOW UP?? I have stricter follow-up guidelines in non-life threatening customer service…

[@debshaw680]

[@NickyQuesne13]

She admitted to being part of it to get a much much lighter sentence had she'd gone to trial and been convicted. After her defence realise that her supposed co-conspirator was going to testify against her, they figured the deal was the better option. Especially after seeing what happened to Billy -in hindsight - it was the smart play. All that being said, I really believe she was the sole mastermind behind this.

[@animelytical8354]

Because they will believe her guilty plea is just because being tried results in the maximum sentence. It does happen, so anyone who pleads guilty will have that in their corner. When it's your mother, it's easier to believe that she's really innocent. However absurd that may be.

[@Robin_Coffins]

Because when you lose one parent then you only have one parent left you deny they did anything wrong. Many times this happens. Kids don’t want to believe their parent would kill their mom or dad.

The way Lorenzen's wife was pictured looking at him, on more than one occasion, was very concerning. So sad, such a generous man who would've done anything for his family - or anyone else for that matter. Perhaps his philanthropy made his wife resent him, like "that's money I should get Lorenzen, not those poor people!"

[@travham2871]

His wife never reported him missing, and was so quick to tell the police he left the house with a bag of cash to "flip drugs". It seemed like she was very keen to damage his character and make him appear as sketchy as possible. Also probably to deflect attention from herself if the police were looking for some mysterious drug buyers; I did think leaving him there in the heat for so long was a last way of disrespecting Lorenzen by not even giving him any dignity after his death when his body was recovered.

[@christinaparker182]

I completely agree with you about the 911 call and that has been a huge deal about the case here in Memphis. The main problem was that while Germantown is technically in Memphis, they don't want to be considered in the city so they have their own system for it or whatever they call it. So the call wasn't given to Memphis 911 for weeks and that's what upset a lot of people about it. Also unfortunately they are used to getting way too many 911 calls with gunshots in the background or about someone being shot. Crime is even worse than it was when this happened. His murder was very horrible but sadly it happens to way too many in this area every day :(

My heart goes out to this family. I can’t believe that after so many years, this case is finally over.

[@badinfluencerinc5686]

Why do good hearted people find evil partners like these?

[@BadTV1993]

thinking they are "saving" someone, usually...& it ends up killing them, either quickly or slowly through stress & other factors

[@alison4316]

You ladies are truly one of only 3 channels whose work I actively seek out each week..... You are always such wonderful storytellers and so respectful in your telling of the stories.....thank you for yet another great episode!

[@DodongoManoof]

Dispatcher just ignored the call with tons of gunshots? Wow... 🙄

[@justineicher1123]

That dispatcher should be fired. You get a call and you even said you heard nothing but gunshot but then say someone probably just hung up. Smh if someone hung up then you wouldn't of heard gunshots dummy. Then to not even report the call is just ridiculous

[@J.C...]

That's exactly why they got a payout. Because of her negligence.

[@mellel5594]

Y'all did a great job highlighting the case of Lorenzen Wright's murder! Much respect from Canada!! 👏🏾

[@keithdrummond1003]

It always hits me just a little bit differently when I see someone who earned their wealth, remain true to themselves. Many people that become wealthy become morally poor. He remained a good man. So much more of a loss to me, when genuinely good people meet a tragic end.

[@e21xo28]

I hope that 911 operator was fired, should have reported that, ridiculous! And his ex wife definitely set him up, she talked about him in past tense before they even found his body

[@mentalasylumescapee6389]

i don't think they care if they are fired or not, to me it's a lame job, you answer the call you push a button to connect to police/fire/ambulance, it doesn't require any skill. to me the better justice would be for the 911 operators name to be registered down as never being able to have a job that involves helping the public...not even being able to be a librarian...that would be justice.

[@e21xo28]

@@mentalasylumescapee6389 I know a job is just a job to almost everyone, still should’ve been fired if your job is to report these kinds of things

[@Kimberly_11]

Wow.. L.W's mother was so calm and nice (to that murderer that had her son killed) in court.. she just wanted to see her grandkids 😭💔

[@tan9515]

Thank you for doing this story. You humanized this good man like no other story I’ve seen about this case. Shara is evil. I pray for his mom & children. ❤

[@marmarsmandalas]

Hey!! So glad you uploaded! I'm packing and need something to listen to and your voice and delivery is so lovely. Thanks for another great video!❤️

[@amberrodriguez851]

Wow such a sad story. Thanks for covering this. You did amazing!

[@smurfylee]

I have never heard about this and your presentation was fantastic ! Poor Lorenzen, he was a handsome kind talented man. His wife was a greedy evil woman, not even considering her children by leaving them fatherless 😡 The kids need to reunite with their dear old grandma bless her...RIP Lorenzen ❤️🙏🏽

[@CJLOVE23]

Ok now I’m crying. That grandma and her sister broke my heart. The other kids should call their nana 😢

[@leesashriber5097]

I've heard a lot about this case however, you once again did your homework and gave information I had never heard. This is why I love your channel!! Happy Mother's Day 🏵️🌺💐😊

[@trucrimeluver]

Your presentations continue to improve and inform! Thank you for all your work/research! It is appreciated.

[@asha4736]

His children have grown up so beautiful, Lorenzen would be so proud to see them now 💔

[@PeaceIsAlwaysBeautiful92]

Sherra just got denied parole and I'm happy she did; she was the mastermind of his death. Money is truly the root to of all evil!

[@robertstokes9034]

The best recap of the case out there. Thank you for providing as much detail as you did. 👍🏾

[@lindseywarren44]

Another outstanding job by the two of you! Thank you so much for your thoroughness and sensitivity in reporting on this tragic case. Those poor children and his poor Mum... Bless

[@lindamcnamara7803]

Thank you for bringing his story out and well done.

[@bronxbutterflyrivera78]

Omg his mom running to where he was found makes me so sad.

[@banan7589]

Bless the one grandchild who reconnected with his dad’s family

[@cherylsurplice1417]

Great job on this story ladies! U put a lot of work into it and I appreciate it!!!

[@morrisal]

I love uncle Gary and the whole family 💗 they seem such kind-hearted people.

[@candylady8039]

Man this was done exceptionally!!!! Thanks for all y’all’s hard work!!!!

[@gloriaterpe6212]

your videos are so detailed and absolutely perfect. thank you for putting in so much effort!

[@rmsiq148isstruggling3]

I'm amazed by the dignity of Lorenzen's mother in front of the ex wife. If I was the mom I would charge and get myself a sentence. She's so thoughtful and knew now it's all about her grandchildren's future and she needs to look after them for her son...

[@azninvasion]

I really hope the ex-wife Sherra Wright serves the whole 30 year sentence. You can just tell by her demeanor that she's only sorry that her plan didn't work, and would absolutely try to do this again if given the opportunity.

[@kristiriley]

This was so well researched & well done. I've heard about this tragic case many times before, however not with this much detail. With all the updates & court cases closed, it was finally good to hear that all 3 of them will be behind bars. Wish for more time though. I really wish Sherra would've been able to respond to Lorenzen's mother in court when she asked. I really wanted to hear what she had to say. Deborah just wants to be a grandmother to her son's children. She wants to have any part of him close to her. They are her flesh & blood, too. What I always found very interesting in this case was when that reporter interviewed Sherra about her book, he started asking her a bunch of questions about the next book, & how Mr. Tell Me Anything was going to be murdered. He was comparing the book to her real life with Lorenzen. She loved to talk negatively about him, saying he was abusive. But, what I did find kind of odd was when the guy asked her at the end, if she had anything to do with Lorenzen's murder or disappearance, she says that she's a mother, a wife, an author, & police should find his killer. She said, for her name to even be in the same sentence as something like that. That she's a minister of the Lord, and she's never been in any type of trouble or anything. She's a mother, an author, a wife. Oh really... You know what she DIDN'T SAY???? NO! No, I have absolutely nothing to do with Lorenzen's death. I love him. I would never want to hurt him, or take him away from our children. Anything like that! Nope, nothing! Huge red flag! Idk, they said they didn't have a motive? But I think the life insurance policy is plenty motive. Also, I think that it's very interesting & curious that it was said that "Lorenzen" was allegedly over spending & in debt, however as soon as Sherra gets her sticky hands on what is supposed to be left for her kids from his LIFE INSURANCE POLICY, she's over spent every dime? I'm not buying what they selling. From the beginning they say it was all Lorenzen that spent that money. Remember, she was with him before he made it to the pros. They were together for many many years. Even when they did split, they said he was going back to his wife, he missed his family. Everyone that knew him said how giving he was. You don't think he was forking over every last dime he had to her? It just wasn't enough, it wasn't keeping her used to the lavish life style she was accustomed to. So.......LIFE INSURANCE TIME! Idk, those are just some of my thoughts.

[@amyyoung8669]

Well done. Absolutely wonder how u did this video and letting us BE there! I have hears this case many times before and this is the best by far.

[@mariaday8040]

Congrats ladies, another story told very well, explained brilliantly and with perfect flow.

[@Sheisneika0976]

The fact that in the beginning of the 911 call lorenzen screamed out “SHERRA”… sherra answered him and started firing….

[@CreativeReptiles]

He was such an amazing dude and hometown hero. His story was such a tragedy

[@aenlightenedsmith3801]

I’ve heard this story before but you did an awesome job. I stayed engaged the entire time. Thank you for following up on their kids. I hadn’t heard anything about their lives. Wonderful job on this story 💜

[@naiadwpb]

Awesome Job on broadcasting this 👏. I've seen and heard it before and I like I know this story but I just let it play while busy in home. But I had to stop ✋️ and I was totally engaged. Amazing Job.

[@ThePro-WrestlingTrueCrime]

The drug theory came from the ex-wife which makes it suspect in itself! His children most likely remain in denial that their mother would've actually had their father killed.

[@themanhattanproject2471]

Wow what a story. Bless their hearts. I agree with lorenzens mom. He would've wanted his kids in his mamas life. 😭😭 You guys do such a great way of creating a captivating narrative. Great job.
