Episode 310 - Operation Rebound - The Murder of NBA Center Lorenzen Wright
A former NBA star vanishes after a trip home to Memphis, and for days no one knows where he went. Then a missed 911 call, a body in a field, and a murder weapon recovered years later begin to expose a conspiracy no one saw coming.
A story of failed plans, shifting stories, and the long trail of evidence that finally brought the truth into focus. Beneath the headlines was a father of six, a hometown hero, and a family left waiting years for answers.
