Podcasts with a twist, their Sparkle
farts, my trust the Unicorn. I've

4
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:47.679
got to tell these good people about
our show. Hey there, I'm CJ

5
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:53.039
host to be on the Rainbow.
True Crimes of the LGBTQ plus well.

6
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:57.759
I do have episodes on some of
the more well known cases from the LGBTQ

7
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:03.399
communities, such as Matthew Shepper,
Brandon Tina, and the Orlando Pulse nightclub

8
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:08.959
massacre. I cover world cases like
the London nail bombing murders, Australia's Snowtown

9
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:15.239
murders, in South Africa's corrective rape
and murder of lesbians. I cover lesser

10
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:22.079
known cases like the murder of twenty
one year old trans man Alex Van Dolson

11
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:27.599
in Indiana. Police call his death
a suicide. Spoiler alert, it wasn't

12
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:34.079
I tell you about wrongful conviction cases, serial killers and school shooters. My

13
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:41.319
Unicorn and I cover all sorts of
crimes against the LGBTQ and crimes by members

14
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:45.879
of the LGBTQ. You don't have
to be part of the community to listen.

All walks of life are welcome to
become Rainbow Warriors because you matter.

16
00:01:53.079 --> 00:02:00.879
And remember it's not a crime to
be gay unless you're a murderer. Hello.

17
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:06.079
Hello, Welcome to the next chapter. Lisa is not with me.

18
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:12.639
She's not feeling well. But before
we get into today's chapter, I want

19
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:17.319
to correct myself from a previous chapter
that we did where we covered the murder

20
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:23.719
of Rowena Irani. I mispronounced her
name, which was pointed out to me

21
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:29.000
by a close friend of her family's. I was also given information in regards

22
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:31.080
to her personal life, which I
will speak about in an episode that will

23
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:36.000
record soon, so keep an eye
out for that. But I want to

24
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:43.879
apologize for the mispronunciation. I'm usually
very diligent in researching pronunciation of names and

25
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:49.039
places, and I, for whatever
reason, I had it in my head

26
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:53.919
that I knew how to pronounce Rowena's
name and did not look it up,

27
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:58.800
which was an error on my part, and I apologize. So thank you

28
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:02.719
to that family friend for a the
very very kind email you sent me,

29
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:08.439
and b thank you for pointing get
out to me so that I can fix

30
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:14.680
my mistake for today's episode. This
is a case that is new to me,

31
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:20.280
probably because I'm not well versed in
the world of basketball, But for

32
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.680
those that follow the NBA and have
for a long time, this story may

33
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:28.960
be familiar to you, as it
devastated the sports community as a whole.

34
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.879
The story I'm going to tell you
today is the murder of Lorenzen Right.

35
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:38.400
Lorenzen, who went by the nickname
Wren, was born in Oxford, Mississippi,

36
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:43.800
to Deborah Marian and Herb Bright,
on November fourth, nineteen seventy five.

37
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:47.960
Growing up, he split his time
between Mississippi with Deborah and Memphis,

38
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:53.280
Tennessee with his father, and according
to an article for Sports Illustrated, Lorenzen

39
00:03:53.479 --> 00:04:00.599
was a Memphis boy through and through. His friend Ruis Williams said that Lorenzen

40
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:04.360
was quote like the king of the
city, hometown hero stuff. He was

41
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:11.439
so proud to say, this is
where I'm from. According to an article

42
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:15.639
for ABC News, Deborah said that
her son was a mama's boy through and

43
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:19.240
through. He had loved his family, and according to what Bill Atkins,

44
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:25.600
a family friend, told Oxygen,
Lorenzen was loved by everybody. He was

45
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:30.839
very popular and very giving, he
said, quote, he walks in the

46
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:34.079
door and everybody knows it's him.
The guy would give you the shirt off

47
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:42.240
his back. Lorenzen was also incredibly
passionate about basketball and dreamed of making it

48
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:46.199
as a professional basketball player. His
love of basketball came from herb who was

49
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:53.079
a professional player in his youth before
becoming a police officer. According to medium

50
00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:56.600
dot com, he went to Lafayette
High School in Mississippi, where he joined

51
00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:00.279
the basketball team, before moving to
Memphis for the dart of his senior year.

52
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:04.759
He attended Booker T. Washington High
School, where he joined their basketball

53
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:09.879
team and he excelled at it.
While in high school, he played for

54
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:15.800
the Amateur Athletic Union, coached by
a man named Julius Robinson. Julius would

55
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:18.439
go on to introduce Lorenzen, who
was sixteen at the time. According to

56
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:23.360
an article for We Got This Covered, to his daughter Sarah, who was

57
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:29.120
twenty one. Apparently they got close
very quickly and they would go on to

58
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:34.000
begin dating. Although when exactly their
relationship began I couldn't be sure, but

59
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:39.800
according to medium dot com, it
began when Lorenzen started college at the University

60
00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:45.399
of Memphis. While at college,
Lorenzen, who by this point was six

61
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:49.399
foot eleven, joined their basketball team, the Tigers, and he was amazing

62
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:55.759
according to his stats in the University
of Memphis' website. He played from nineteen

63
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:59.959
ninety five to nineteen ninety six,
and he was the first team selection bold

64
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:03.879
years for two different teams, the
All Great Midwest First Team and the All

65
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:10.360
Conference USA First Team, and he
was the only person in the program's history

66
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:16.439
to earn these accolades. He also
helped the Tigers to consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances,

67
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:20.639
as well as a twenty game win
streak. By nineteen ninety six,

68
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:25.680
Lorenzen and Shara had had their first
child, and Lorenzen, who was a

69
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:30.079
sophomore at this point, entered the
NBA Draft and became the seventh overall pick

70
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:34.319
by the LA Clippers, which began
a very successful career with the NBA.

71
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:40.480
Lorenzen would go on to be nicknamed
the Howel because of how he screamed when

72
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:44.399
he blocked a shot from the opposing
team or successfully made his own shot.

73
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:48.519
Lorenzen would go on to have a
thirteen season career with various teams such as

74
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:55.639
the Clippers, Atlanta Hawks, Memphis
Grizzlies, among others. In nineteen ninety

75
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:59.800
eight, according to Oxygen, Shara
and Lorenzen got married and they moved to

76
00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:02.680
Los Angeles, where they had moved
into a custom home in Plia del Rey.

77
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:08.800
During this time, Lorenzen made friends
with teenage ball boy for the Clippers,

78
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:12.480
Anne Rice, who Shara and Lorenzen
both doted on as if he was

79
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:15.480
one of their children. They bought
him gifts like a brand new suit and

80
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:21.399
shoes for prom, and they even
attended his graduation. Shara and Lorenzen would

81
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:26.920
go on to have six more children, and they were always together, seemingly

82
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:30.920
very much in love. Anne told
Nathan Fennow of The La Times quote he

83
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:35.839
was in love with her. She
had a grip on him. In two

84
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:41.000
thousand and two, Shara and Lorenzen
welcomed a daughter, who tragically died eleven

85
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:45.759
months later due to sudden inf and
death syndrome. In her honor, Lorenzen

86
00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:49.800
established the Sierra Simone Writes Scholarship Fund
and that same year. In two thousand

87
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:54.399
and three, he returned to the
University of Memphis to finish his degree.

88
00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:59.279
When Lorenzo played for the Grizzlies,
he opened up a sports bar and spread

89
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:03.680
his wealth around town, setting up
scholarships and paying for homes and cars for

90
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.839
friends and family. He even set
up a trust fund for a nine year

91
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:11.399
old boy whose mother had died and
he lived alone in the house with her

92
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:16.639
body for a month before he was
helped. Former NBA player Elliott Perry said,

93
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:20.319
quote, pull people in Memphis from
his teammates in high school to the

94
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:24.639
NBA, and they'll tell you the
same thing. Wren was fantastic, this

95
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:31.279
big guy with a humble spirit.
From the outside looking in, Lorenzo had

96
00:08:31.320 --> 00:08:37.360
an amazing life and with Sarah they
had a beautiful life together, one that

97
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:41.559
many people would envy, a life
of luxury and events that most people could

98
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:48.080
only dream of. But by two
thousand and five, that facade had started

99
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:52.720
to crack, according to the La
Times, in August of two thousand and

100
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:56.440
five, police responded to a domestic
disturbance call at the Rights home in Memphis,

101
00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:03.399
and while no arrest were charges were
made. Shara allegedly had answered the

102
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:07.559
door with cuts on her hand and
scrapes along her jaw. There was another

103
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:11.480
volatile incident where Lorenzen and his friend
Mike Gibson had allegedly been partying in the

104
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:16.679
rights RV with exotic dancers when Shara
walked in, chasing off the women,

105
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:22.480
ripping Gibson's shirt, and completely trashing
the RV in her rage. Lorenzen,

106
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:30.080
for his part, had allegedly escaped
out the window now to sidestep for just

107
00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:33.080
a second. In twenty fourteen,
Shara had written a book, Mister Tell

108
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:37.360
Me Anything, that was a work
of fiction, but she had claimed that

109
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:41.759
the main characters and the events of
the book mirror her and Lorenzen's life together

110
00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:48.759
almost completely. She suggests that moments
of infidelity and abuse in the novel were

111
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:52.120
based on the true events that happened
during their marriage. So if that is

112
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:58.799
the case, their relationship continued to
crumble, with Lorenzen allegedly cheating on her

113
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:03.960
and Shara in it at least one
instance, allegedly catching him with another woman,

114
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:09.840
beating this woman, and quote slapping
the hell out of Lorenzo again.

115
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:13.600
This, as far as I can
tell, was not substantiated as fact,

116
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:18.279
but she claims that these events that
she wrote about in her book were true.

117
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.960
Now by two thousand and nine,
Lorenzo had officially retired and he and

118
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:28.600
Shara had separated. They were three
million dollars in debt and two of their

119
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:31.000
homes had been seized by the bank
as a result of overspending at the end

120
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:37.720
of his career. So because of
these problems they were having financially, coupled

121
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:43.879
with the allegations of cheating and abuse, their relationship finally ended, although according

122
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:46.480
to Sea, she said that it
was the risk that came with his career

123
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:52.320
that doomed them. She told Sports
Illustrated that Lorenzo was carefree and would let

124
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:56.559
anyone into his circle, and she
was uncomfortable with the people he was bringing

125
00:10:56.600 --> 00:11:01.519
around. The divorce was finalized in
February worry of twenty ten, and a

126
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:05.240
permanent parenting plan had been filed in
Shelby County, Tennessee, which required Lorenzen

127
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:09.159
to pay alimony and child support in
the amount of twenty six thousand, six

128
00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:13.240
hundred and fifty dollars a month,
and this was based on his prior income

129
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:20.240
as a basketball player. This was
due to Sharer and Lorenzo's extremely lavish lifestyle

130
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:24.320
and the need to quote continue to
provide the children with benefits like a nanny

131
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:31.519
and private basketball lessons. Additionally,
he was also ordered to maintain a one

132
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:35.279
million dollar life insurance policy on himself. According to the order, which I

133
00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:39.879
read from the La Times, it
said, quote, if agreed upon by

134
00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:43.519
the parties, the father shall insure
his own life in the minimum amounts of

135
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:48.840
one million dollars by whole life or
term insurance until the child support obligation has

136
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:54.639
been completed. Each policy shall name
the child or children as so a revocable

137
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:58.440
primary beneficiary, with the other parents
as trustee for the benefit of the children,

138
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:05.279
to serve without bond or accounting.
So Lorenzen did take out this policy

139
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:09.440
that his children were the beneficiaries of, but Shara would have control over as

140
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:13.960
trustee in the event of his death. So they were officially divorced, co

141
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:20.919
parenting their children. Lorenzen was living
in Atlanta and Sharif stayed in Memphis.

142
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:24.399
According to Lorenzen's oldest daughter, Lauren, a few months after the divorce was

143
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:31.039
finalized, Lorenzen wanted to be with
Shara again, which, to be fair,

144
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:33.639
it seems as if she was his
first love, so it would make

145
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.799
sense that he would want to be
with her again, considering they had spent

146
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:43.279
pretty much his whole adult life together. According to The La Times, Laurence

147
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:46.799
said quote he would tell us every
day he was working to win her back.

148
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:50.960
According to medium dot com, Lorenzo
and Shara had started seeing each other

149
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:56.320
again when Lorenzo would fly in to
see his children. He was also contemplating

150
00:12:56.360 --> 00:13:01.159
going to Israel to play basketball there. Now, according to police, on

151
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:07.320
July seventeenth of twenty ten, Shara
sent a stirring of sexually explicit messages to

152
00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:13.279
Lorenzen, so under the assumption that
they were going to get back together,

153
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:16.399
at least for the night, Lorenzen
flew out to Memphis the very next day.

154
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:20.759
Now, based on what I could
gather, this was actually a planned

155
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:26.080
trip. Lorenzo was heading to Memphis
to see his daughter perform in a dance

156
00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:30.720
recital, and he was also going
to attend his sister's baby shower. The

157
00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:35.799
text from Shara would have been an
added perk. According to a close friend

158
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:39.440
of Lorenzo's, Phil Dotson. He
drove Lorenzen and his son Lorenzo Junior to

159
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:45.679
Scherf's home that night, dropping them
off around ten pm. Lorenzo had also

160
00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:48.679
planned to go back to Atlanta the
next day, the nineteenth, because he

161
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:52.279
had arranged to go back with his
friend Jeremy Orange as well as with his

162
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:56.840
children, and they had planned to
stop at six Flags White Water on the

163
00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:01.440
way to have a fun day with
the children. But when Jeremy arrived at

164
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:07.440
Sharif's home to pick everyone up,
Lorenzen wasn't there, so Jeremy called him,

165
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:13.639
but Lorenzo never answered. Now,
when Shara was contacted by Jeremy and

166
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:18.360
Mike Gibson asking where Lorenzen was,
she said that he was probably off with

167
00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:22.720
another woman and that he was quote
probably in one of his little holes lol.

168
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:28.799
On July twenty second, twenty ten, three days later, Debora,

169
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:35.279
Lorenzen's mother, filed a missing person's
report. Lorenzo missing his sister's baby shower

170
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:39.600
had been bad enough, It's something
she knew he would never have done,

171
00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:43.279
but the fact that no one had
seen him in days was more than enough

172
00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:48.519
cause for alarm. So police start
looking into Lorenzen's disappearance, retracing his steps

173
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:54.639
and they talked to Shera. Now
Initially, Shara says that everything was fine,

174
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:58.080
he had no enemies, and he
left the house around two am on

175
00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:03.399
the nineteenth, getting into an unknown
car with an unknown driver. Shara thought

176
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:07.159
he might have gone to Vegas.
His father thought maybe Lorenzo had decided to

177
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:11.360
go to Europe to clear his mind, and others suggested that maybe he had

178
00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:16.519
decided to go to Israel after all. A week after Lorenzo disappeared without a

179
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:22.679
trace, Shara spoke to reporters tearfully, saying she wouldn't believe anything other than

180
00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:28.080
Lorenzo was fine and he would return
home. But the very next day,

181
00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:31.840
Shara was telling police that Lorenzo was
involved in drug dealing and that on the

182
00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:37.320
eighteenth he had left the home of
drugs and money, adding that week's earlier

183
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:41.720
strange men had shown up looking for
her ex husband. During this time,

184
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:48.159
Deborah was also speaking to police,
saying that Shara was acting strangely. Although

185
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:52.279
the statement wasn't elaborated on, it
seems, based on at least one source,

186
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:56.559
that Deborah thought that Shara might have
been behind Lorenzen's disappearance based on her

187
00:15:56.600 --> 00:16:00.960
behavior to backtrack slightly. Around mid
UAE night, on the night Lorenzen disappeared,

188
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:06.799
Germantown, Tennessee, police received a
nine one one call. The caller

189
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:11.080
was mail and was based on what
was heard on the call, clearly being

190
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:15.399
shot at, with eleven shots being
identified on this call. Now, Germantown

191
00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:19.399
is ten minutes away from Collierville,
where Shara lived, and it seems as

192
00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:25.360
if because the dispatcher identified the caller
as being in Collierville, which was outside

193
00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:33.559
Germantown jurisdiction, he didn't report the
call. Police investigating Lorenzen's disappearance finally heard

194
00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:38.279
about this call that involved an unidentified
mail and were able to match the voice

195
00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:42.879
to Lorenzen. Based on this,
they traced the call to a wooded area

196
00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:48.720
by a golf course near Shar's home. On July twenty eighth, ten days

197
00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:55.159
after he went missing, police discovered
Lorenzo's body in this wooded area, as

198
00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:57.240
he had been exposed to the elements
in the middle of a Tennessee summer.

199
00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:03.000
The once two hundred plus pound thirty
four year old was almost skeletal in appearance,

200
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:08.039
and dental records were used for his
identification. According to Action News five,

201
00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:14.160
it was discovered at autopsy that Lorenzen
had sustained five gunshot wounds, two

202
00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:17.359
in the skull, two near his
heart, and one in his forearm.

203
00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:22.119
He had sustained four different skull fractures
as a result of the gunshot wounds,

204
00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:26.680
and he had also sustained multiple rib
fractures as well as a fractured shoulder.

205
00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:33.200
According to toxicology reports, Lorenzo was
not under the influence of any substances at

206
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:37.720
the time of his death. The
investigation of the crime scene turned up shellcasings

207
00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:41.720
from two different guns, but not
much else. Given the high animal traffic

208
00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:47.519
and the rain that the Urraa had
seen since Lorenzin had been killed, it

209
00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:52.359
also threw Memphis as a whole into
a frenzy, demanding the justice be served.

210
00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:56.119
In a slew of theories being given
to police, many people pointed their

211
00:17:56.119 --> 00:18:00.440
finger at Schera, citing the death
that they had been in as a motive,

212
00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:03.480
and others thought that, given Lorenzen
had been found still wearing jewelry,

213
00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:07.359
that his murder was a hit,
that he had crossed the wrong person and

214
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:14.440
was killed to send a message.
In August, a neighbor came forward claiming

215
00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:18.079
that they saw two people using the
fire pit in Sharer's backyard on the night

216
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:23.039
of Lorenzen's murder, which was unusual
because it was so hot out. It

217
00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:27.240
was about ninety three degrees outside and
the humidity was through the roof, so

218
00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:33.640
not exactly an environment conducive to starting
a fire. Depending on the source you

219
00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:37.599
read, some say that the neighbors
saw Lorenzen and an unknown mail by the

220
00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:42.599
fire, and others say it was
Shara with an unknown mail. Investigators,

221
00:18:42.599 --> 00:18:47.440
according to medium dot Com, did
investigate the ashes from the fire, and

222
00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:51.039
they found the burns remnants of what
appeared to be paper clips, but nothing

223
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:56.160
else was found that could be useful
to the investigation. They also searched Shara's

224
00:18:56.240 --> 00:19:00.640
home, but it seems as if
they did not find anything. Now what's

225
00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:07.160
interesting is that sometime during the initial
investigation, two different tips came in claiming

226
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:11.680
that a man named Billy Ray Turner, who was a convicted felon, was

227
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:17.839
involved in Lorenzen's death. But it
seems as if the tipsters hadn't offered any

228
00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:25.599
additional evidence to support this accusation because
nothing came of it. As I mentioned

229
00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:29.359
earlier, as part of the divorce
settlement, Lorenzen was to maintain a one

230
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:33.039
million dollar life insurance policy on himself
that was to be distributed to his children

231
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:37.119
in the events of his death.
However, due to all of his children

232
00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:42.680
being underage, Shara was made the
executor of this money, and not even

233
00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:48.160
one year after his death, Shara
had spent all but five dollars of the

234
00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:52.960
insurance money. According to the La
Times, the money was used for a

235
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:59.319
fifteen hundred dollars custom headstone for Lorenzen's
grave, furniture, three different luxury vehicles,

236
00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:02.799
a fifty t three hundred square foot
house, a pool, and a

237
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:07.400
very expensive trip to New York,
as well as various cash withdrawals and personal

238
00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:11.480
checks were written out, totaling around
three hundred and forty four thousand dollars.

239
00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:17.880
According to Lorenzen Junior. He said
that all of that money was spent on

240
00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:22.559
the children and not used for herself, but I will admit that seems a

241
00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:29.119
bit hard to believe her bright.
Lorenzen's father did end upsuing Shara over the

242
00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:33.039
mishandling of the insurance money in twenty
fifteen, and the resolution by the Tennessee

243
00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:37.440
Circuit Court was to establish a trust
for the children. Shara would be the

244
00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:41.119
trustee, but she had to file
with the court all money received into the

245
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:47.319
trust, as well as anything that
was paid out. Additionally, Lorenzen's pension

246
00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:51.519
totaling one hundred and eighty four thousand
dollars paid by the NBA was to go

247
00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:56.480
into the trust as well. Shara, it turns out, failed to provide

248
00:20:56.519 --> 00:21:00.519
accounting statements to the court and she
ended up withdrawing as the execut gutter of

249
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:06.839
this trust. As a result,
herb was granted guardianship over the pension funds,

250
00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:10.079
and he and Shera, who had
been battling over other matters related to

251
00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:15.200
Lorenzon's estate, settled out of court
to sidestep again just to keep the timeline

252
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:18.839
straight. In twenty thirteen, Shara's
cousin, Jimmy Martin, was arrested and

253
00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:22.359
found guilty of second degree murder of
the two thousand and seven death of his

254
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:29.559
girlfriend. He was sentenced to twenty
years and according to Oxygen, in exchange

255
00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:33.720
for immunity and a lighter sentence.
He told the police that he knew something

256
00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:40.359
about Lorenzen's murder. According to Jimmy, he said that Shara had asked him

257
00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:45.000
to help Billy ray Turner, who
was her landscaper at the time, kill

258
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:49.720
Lorenzen, who she was luring to
Memphis with the explicit text messages. He

259
00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:53.200
claimed he wasn't in town on the
night of the murder. But he helped

260
00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:56.920
Di Spoth of the guns used by
throwing them in a lake in Mississippi.

261
00:21:57.799 --> 00:22:03.160
Now police did dredged the lake in
question, but never found anything, so

262
00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:07.720
they figured it was a bad tip. Now the whole time this is going

263
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:12.559
on, Lorenzo's case is stone cold, and Debra seemed to be the only

264
00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:21.279
person actively investigating. She had an
entire storage locker filled with newspaper clippings talking

265
00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:25.240
about her son's murder, as well
as anything she deemed relevant to the case.

266
00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:30.240
She was actively questioning friends and acquaintances, and she was very vocal about

267
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:36.319
her suspicions of Sarah, who had
by this point not only remarried, but

268
00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:40.559
had written her book that she claimed
was heavily based on her marriage with Lorenzen,

269
00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:47.279
which again painted him as this adulterist, criminally involved abuser. She had

270
00:22:47.319 --> 00:22:52.039
also become an Ordines minister and became
heavily involved in her church. In a

271
00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:56.240
Facebook status referencing this, she said
quote, over the past few years,

272
00:22:56.319 --> 00:23:00.319
I have been called all sorts of
things, including backhead, gold digger,

273
00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:06.559
stripper, murderer, whorer, and
all other various terms. I gave it

274
00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:11.440
all to God and he worked it
out and works it out in two thousand

275
00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:14.720
and five. In addition to writing
the book that put Lorenzen in such a

276
00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:18.720
bad light, she was also interviewed
by Kelvin Cohen's, who she would end

277
00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:22.559
up leaving her second husband for,
and when asked how she felt about being

278
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:27.599
suspected and murdering Lorenzen even five years
later, she said, quote that bothered

279
00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:32.480
me that the first time they would
try to find out who I was would

280
00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:34.720
be when they're trying to tie me
to a murder of somebody. I spent

281
00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:41.119
half my life with somebody that I
loved more than myself. That was so

282
00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:45.319
hurtful. Kelvin, in an interview
with The La Times, actually spoke about

283
00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:51.440
how Shara's behavior was strange sometimes after
they had started dating. He said that

284
00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:56.359
frequently she would hide away in her
closet that was filled with furs and rolexes,

285
00:23:56.559 --> 00:24:00.599
and she would cry and talk to
herself in there. Another time,

286
00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:03.680
she had played the recording of Lorenzen
nime when one call for Calvin and asked

287
00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:07.599
him if a voice that could be
heard sounded like a man or a woman.

288
00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:12.400
He also claimed that she had nightmares
involving Lorenzo quite frequently. And she

289
00:24:12.440 --> 00:24:18.319
would wake up in a panock.
In February twenty seventeen, Shara and Kelvin

290
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:21.920
broke up and she moved with her
children to Riverside County, California, to

291
00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:26.279
be closer to her brother Marcus.
During this time, the investigation into Lorenzen's

292
00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:33.559
death was finally heating up on beeknownst
to the Wright family. In twenty sixteen,

293
00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:37.759
based on a credible tip that was
received, the Shelby County Multi Agency

294
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:41.599
Gang Units started re examining the case
in an effort known as Operation Rebound.

295
00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:47.079
They went back and examined the case
as if it had just happened, trying

296
00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:52.440
to retrace Lorenzon's movements that night.
They also re examined the tips and leads

297
00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:56.279
that came in and came across with
Jimmy Martin had said in twenty thirteen.

298
00:24:56.799 --> 00:25:00.119
So they head to the lake in
Walnut, mississipp and search it again.

299
00:25:02.640 --> 00:25:07.400
This time they were successful. On
June twenty seventh, twenty seventeen, the

300
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:11.480
FBI found a semi automatic Smith and
Weston pistol in the lake, and the

301
00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:18.279
ballistics testing were a match to the
bullets obtained during Lorenzen's autopsy. Police four

302
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:22.759
months later obtained a warrant to tap
into Scherff's phone calls and leaked the finding

303
00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:27.759
of the pistol to the press.
Police intercepted a phone call soon after the

304
00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:33.400
announcement of the murder weapon being found
that Shara made to an unknown person where

305
00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:37.039
she said, quote, someone done, sent somebody somewhere to get something.

306
00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:42.880
They were also able to intercept a
text that Kelvin sent mentioning the finding of

307
00:25:42.920 --> 00:25:48.279
the murder weapon, which he thought
would make Sheryl really happy that they had

308
00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:55.079
a lead, but Sherff seemed very
panicky when he mentioned this. Four days

309
00:25:55.160 --> 00:25:59.000
later, Sharff flew out to meet
with Billy ray Turner, and they also

310
00:25:59.160 --> 00:26:03.839
intercepted an other phone call where Shre
told another unknown person that during the initial

311
00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:10.400
investigation in search of her house in
twenty ten, police failed to find three

312
00:26:10.559 --> 00:26:15.759
different guns in the home. On
December fifth, twenty seventeen, based on

313
00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:22.400
evidence that had been collected during the
reinvestigation, police arrested Billy ray Turner and

314
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:26.559
charged him with first degree murder,
and a week and a half later,

315
00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:30.279
they pulled Schera over as she drove
home with her two sons and arrested shreff

316
00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:36.240
for the murder of Lorenzo, charging
her with first degree murder, conspiracy to

317
00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:40.519
commit murder, and to tempted murder. Now, Chevro did not go to

318
00:26:40.599 --> 00:26:45.079
trial. She actually took a plea
deal in twenty nineteen because had she gone

319
00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:49.880
to trial and lost, she would
be looking at one hundred years in exchange

320
00:26:49.920 --> 00:26:55.319
for a thirty year sentence. She
pled guilty to facilitation to commit murder and

321
00:26:55.400 --> 00:27:00.839
facilitation to commit first degree murder because
police had learned in speaking with Jimmy again

322
00:27:02.319 --> 00:27:06.160
that there was an attempt in Lorenzo's
life. Before the murder. He and

323
00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:11.440
Billy ray Turner had snuck into Lorenzen's
home through an unlocked window in an attempt

324
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:15.480
to kill him, but Lorenzo wasn't
home. The first count carried a thirty

325
00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:19.799
year sentence and the second carried an
eight year sentence. They were to be

326
00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:25.880
served concurrently, and Shara is eligible
for parole after serving thirty percent of her

327
00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:30.640
sentence, which is nine years.
That means that Shary could be released as

328
00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:34.519
early as twenty twenty seven. During
sentencing, Debor said quote, Shara,

329
00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:38.559
I want to thank you for giving
me my grandchildren back. I just hate

330
00:27:38.599 --> 00:27:41.799
what happened to my child, but
he left me nice looking kids for his

331
00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:48.440
grandma. Shara, while in prison, has maintained her innocence despite pleading guilty,

332
00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:52.440
and has gone on to promote her
second book. Billy Ray Turner was

333
00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:56.839
supposed to go to trial in September
of twenty nineteen, but this was delayed

334
00:27:56.920 --> 00:28:00.839
so his attorney could go over new
evidence. It was then delayed again due

335
00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:06.880
to the COVID nineteen pandemic. When
he finally went to trial in twenty twenty

336
00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:11.519
two, Jimmy was brought into testify
where he spoke about how Shara had planned

337
00:28:11.640 --> 00:28:17.000
everything out and it was she and
Billy who had killed Lorenzen. According to

338
00:28:17.039 --> 00:28:21.960
his testimony, he claimed that,
based on conversations after the fact, Shara

339
00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:25.319
had told Lorenzo on the night of
July eighteenth, that she was going to

340
00:28:25.359 --> 00:28:29.960
meet up with someone in the woods
by her home to collect money. Instead,

341
00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:33.799
she met up with Billy Ray and
they lured Lorenzen into the woods where

342
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:37.920
they ambushed him. As he tried
to escape, they shot him in the

343
00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:42.559
back. Jimmy claimed that both Shara
AND's Billy Ray had weapons. She had

344
00:28:42.599 --> 00:28:47.599
a pistol and he had a shotgun, and after the murder, Shara picked

345
00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:49.799
him up so that Jimmy could help
them clean up the scene, which included

346
00:28:49.839 --> 00:28:55.519
the use of a metal detector to
find straight bullets. Then they drove to

347
00:28:55.519 --> 00:29:00.599
Mississippi and disposed of the pistol and
shotgun and other items, including two other

348
00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:04.160
guns, which were thrown in a
dumpster nearby. In March of twenty twenty

349
00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:08.960
two, Billy Ray Turner was found
guilty of first degree murder, attempted murder,

350
00:29:08.960 --> 00:29:14.079
and conspiracy, and he was sentenced
to forty one years on top of

351
00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:18.240
the sixteen years he had been given
in twenty seventeen after his arrest for weapons

352
00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:23.440
charges because he was a convicted felon
after being arrested on federal charges in nineteen

353
00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:30.279
ninety two. In response, Deborah
said the sentence quote would never be closure

354
00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:33.720
because I'll never see my son again. This is just some satisfaction for me

355
00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:38.400
and my family. As for the
motive, while Shara has never spoken about

356
00:29:38.440 --> 00:29:42.400
what led her to plan the murder
of Lorenzo, Deborah says she knows the

357
00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:48.720
answer. Money. That's what it
was about, and honestly, I'm inclined

358
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:52.680
to agree. They divorced over money, troubles, and upon his death,

359
00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:57.440
she gained control over his insurance policy
that could keep her and her children in

360
00:29:57.480 --> 00:30:02.200
the life to which she had become
a custom to. Sharah was up for

361
00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:07.039
parole in twenty twenty two after serving
less than half of her required minimum sentence,

362
00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:11.039
but she was denied and she is
currently incarcerated at the Deborah K.

363
00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:17.720
Johnson Rehabilitation Center in Tennessee. Billy
Ray Turner attempted to appeal his sentence but

364
00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:22.759
was denied. As for Lorenzen's children, they are doing well. His sons

365
00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:26.759
have followed in his footsteps and were
basketball stars in college, with his eldest

366
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:32.119
son becoming a basketball coach, and
his daughters are doing just as well,

367
00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:34.799
with one of them becoming a nurse, and I believe she is also a

368
00:30:34.880 --> 00:30:40.480
mother now. So it's great to
see that given the tragedy in their lives,

369
00:30:40.720 --> 00:30:44.599
losing their father and their mother being
behind, it hasn't stopped them from

370
00:30:44.680 --> 00:30:48.960
living their dreams. And I'm sure
that Lorenson would be so proud of his

371
00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:53.400
children for the lives they are leading. Thank you so much for joining me

372
00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:59.599
today while I tell you this story
again. Lisa was not with me today.

373
00:30:59.680 --> 00:31:02.559
She is it's not feeling well,
and to be quite honest, I

374
00:31:02.599 --> 00:31:07.720
believe I am getting sick as well. So I apologize in advance for what

375
00:31:07.839 --> 00:31:14.519
is probably a slightly scratchy voice.
I also wanted to point out in response

376
00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:18.599
to a review that was left saying
that my voice was boring and dull,

377
00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:23.559
which is fine. Everyone's entitled to
their own opinion. My response to that

378
00:31:23.720 --> 00:31:30.279
really is, I try very hard
to keep my voice in a certain tone

379
00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:37.599
and a certain level, primarily because
what I'm speaking about is death, the

380
00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:45.759
murder of innocent people who lost their
lives in devastating, in horrible ways,

381
00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:52.039
and I don't think it would be
right for my tone to be anything other

382
00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:56.640
than neutral and respectful. But if
that's not your cup of teeth, it's

383
00:31:56.640 --> 00:32:00.519
not your cup of tea. Not
mad about it, it's just it's something

384
00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:06.200
I wanted to point out. I
don't think it's respectful of me to speak

385
00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:12.400
about the loss of people's lives in
an upbeat tone. But if you find

386
00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:20.319
my tone boring, I apologize.
This is this is simply my voice.

387
00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:23.119
I don't think I sound like a
robot. That is something that my brother

388
00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:27.160
sounds like. He knows that he
owns it, and he has in fact

389
00:32:27.240 --> 00:32:32.079
been punched in the face for it. So I don't think I sound like

390
00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:35.920
a robot. I don't think I
sound dull or boring. But if you

391
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:38.240
do, that's your opinion and you're
entitled to it, and that's fine.

392
00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:47.359
But I wanted to point that out
or respond to it additionally in the next

393
00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:53.000
chapter. I believe the next chapter, I will be having back a guest

394
00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:59.759
that I had on a few months
ago. I'm very excited to have them

395
00:32:59.799 --> 00:33:02.799
back, and we will be discussing
a topic that I have covered, so

396
00:33:02.839 --> 00:33:08.960
it'll be interesting to look at it
from the view of someone who has been

397
00:33:10.039 --> 00:33:15.759
investigating and researching these crimes for a
very long time. So I'm very excited

398
00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:20.119
and I hope you all thoroughly enjoy
it. But with that being said,

399
00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:23.240
I hope you all have a wonderful
week and I will see you in the
