A very sad and very strange story. The body of former NBA player Lornzen Wright was found in a wooded area of Memphis after he had been missing for ten days. Apparently, there was a 911 call made from his cellphone the day he disappeared in which several gunshots were heard. Authorities are keeping very quiet about this.

Jury convicts Billy Ray Turner in slaying of former NBA player Lorenzen Wright
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- A jury on Monday convicted a Tennessee man in the slaying of former NBA player Lorenzen Wright, whose bullet-riddled body was found in a field nearly 12 years ago in his hometown of Memphis.
The 12-person jury deliberated for about two hours before it found Billy Ray Turner guilty of first-degree murder, attempted murder and conspiracy in the death of Wright, a 6-foot, 11-inch center who played 13 seasons in the NBA before he retired after the 2008-09 campaign. Shelby County Criminal Court Judge Lee Coffee sentenced Turner, 51, to life in prison for the murder conviction. He will be sentenced for the other charges at a later date.
The slaying is one of the most highly publicized murder cases in Memphis history. Wright's decomposing body was found riddled with bullet wounds in a swampy field in east Memphis on July 28, 2010. The 34-year-old father of six had been missing for days before his body was discovered.
