Today we are talking about a case of the murder of an NBA star, but this star is not Kobe.
The star's experience is full of luck and misfortune, and even a lot of irony.
The process of solving the case is very exciting, and it is not easy to make, I hope you will often press the like button to support it after reading it.
On July 19, 2010, in the duty room of the Germantown Police Department in the United States, I received a 911 call from a man who called the police**, and he first said something similar to my God.
The police operator asked him if he needed help, but before the man could answer, several gunshots rang out.
After more than ten seconds, ** was suddenly hung up. According to the correct operation process, as a 911 police officer, when receiving such a **, you should find out the location of the ** dialed out as soon as possible, and then send a nearby police officer to check it.
But the police officer didn't do this at the time, because the location assigned by ** did not belong to their jurisdiction, and there was no way to determine whether the informant really needed help, so after ** was hung up, the police officer just saved and filed it, and then handed it over to the jurisdiction where the police ** was located.
Eight days later, when the officer on duty at the Colville Police Station was sorting out the materials, he noticed this**, judging from the voice of **, the man seemed to be in a panic, not like a false police report, and more importantly**There were several gunshots, so he immediately asked his colleagues to check.
*The location allocated is located on the outskirts of the city of Memphis, under the jurisdiction of the Colville Police Department, in a remote jungle area.
In the vicinity of the location set aside by **, the police really saw a terrifying scene, a highly decomposed human corpse lying on the ground, and many flies hovering on it.
The patrol immediately blocked the scene and asked the bureau for help, and for a while, the surrounding crowd also flocked to the scene.
Since it happened to be summer, the corpse was very decomposed, so it was impossible to identify the corpse from its appearance.
It took a lot of effort for the forensic doctor to get the wreckage back to the bureau.
While waiting for the results of the forensic examination, agents from the Colville Police Department visited the surrounding homes to check for the recent missing persons, but to no avail.
It wasn't until later that the forensic doctor identified the owner of the body through dental records and other information, he was Lorenson White, a famous NBA player in Memphis, and Colville, where the body was found, is one of the jurisdictions in Memphis.
After the news of the former NBA star crashing into the wilderness spread, it immediately aroused heated discussions among the melon-eating masses, oh my God, who was so ruthless and actually killed Lorenson.
Lorenson's mother was devastated by the news of her son's death, as she had been searching for her son's whereabouts for days before the body was found.
Although they have found their son now, the two have been separated forever.
According to the autopsy report, Lorenson was shot multiple times in his body.
According to the verification of **, the alarm ** received by the Germantown Police Department eight days ago was dialed by Lorenson, and the time when the gunshots rang out was when the bullet hit Lorenson.
Lorenson's mother couldn't understand why the police officer didn't send someone to check on her son when she received the call from her.
If the officers had arrived at the scene in time, his son might have been left alive.
With so many shots fired at the deceased, the purpose of **guessing** is most likely revenge.
So the question is, who would take revenge on an NBA player with such a killer?
Before answering this question, let's take a brief look at Lorenson.
Lorenson was born in Tennessee in 1975 to parents who divorced when she was very young, with her mother living in Oxford, Mississippi, and her father living 80 kilometers away in Memphis.
In order to hold on to this heavy family affection, Lorenson ran back and forth for many years, and later settled in Memphis.
Because of his love of basketball since he was a child, and his height of two meters and one, Lorenson quickly attracted the attention of the entire Memphis.
When a lot of young guys on the basketball court chat, they will talk about Lorenson, do you have a guy named Lorenson, this guy is so fierce that he doesn't want to play ball.
After graduating from high school, Lorenson declined offers from many prestigious universities and chose to attend the University of Memphis in his hometown.
Drafted by the league with the seventh pick in the 1996 NBA draft, he played 13 years in the NBA, including the Clippers, Hawks, Grizzlies, Kings and Cavaliers.
For many Asian fans, one of Lorensen's impressions is his match against Yao Ming.
Although the two-meter-one Lorensen is inferior to Yao Ming in height, his excellent defensive ability still makes Yao Ming suffer a lot.
During his 13 years in the NBA, Lorenson earned $55 million, which quickly pushed him into the top tier.
The speed at which you can make money is great, but the speed at which you can spend money is just as powerful.
has bought dozens of luxury houses, and the supercar watches are not a problem.
While satisfying his shopping pleasure, Lorenson did not forget to repay the parents and villagers of Memphis, from directly taking money to buy cars and houses for relatives around him, to setting up a ** club to sponsor teenagers, Lorenson's good deeds have left a good reputation for the locals, and everyone calls him the son of Memphis.
Lorenson and his wife, Silas.
In 1996, Lorenson and Silas entered the palace of marriage, the two have known each other since high school, because Silas is the daughter of Coach Lorenson, and the two have had 6 children after marriage, the husband is responsible for playing ball to support the family, and the wife is responsible for being beautiful like a flower.
But just 14 years later, the applause turned into sighs.
From the time his family called the police to the bones being found, in just over 9 days, Lorenson, who weighed 240 kilograms, was tortured into 50 kilograms of carrion by high temperature and rain.
In just a few days, one mother lost her own child and six children lost their father.
Lorenson's mother endured her grief and traveled to gather information to find the truth about her son's death.
The Grizzlies' boss said they would definitely find out.
Under the leadership of the mayor of Memphis, the authorities formed an investigative team with personnel drawn from a number of departments, including the Justice Center Sheriff's Office, the DEA and the FBI, among others.
The investigation team searched the last place where Lorenson was seen, the residence of his ex-wife Silas, but found no signs of the crime, everything in the room was normal, and the furniture did not have any traces of physical altercation.
But the more normal the appearance, the more likely it is to hide amazing secrets, as the saying goes, the first ** is often the pillow person of the deceased.
During the conversation, Silas revealed that she and Lorenson had divorced a long time ago, because her husband secretly cheated on her behind her back, and the two continued to quarrel over the death of their last child.
The ex-husband came to his house just to visit a few children.
On the night of the disappearance, my ex-husband received a ** and went out, and I don't know what happened after that.
Silas said her ex-husband went out with a bag of drugs and a large stack of bills in his hand and said he was going to spend $110,000 to go out and buy something.
Silas said that at that time, he wanted to ask Lorenson what he was going to buy, but because the two had divorced, he was afraid that he would quarrel again before they could talk a few words, so he asked everything.
According to Silas's confession, the investigation team turned the direction to the local drug dealers, because there is indeed a local drug trafficking organization in Memphis, which often hides all kinds of illegal activities, and more than 80 lives have been killed in the past few months.
On top of that, the Drug Enforcement Administration had indeed investigated Lorenson before, suspecting him of having dealings with local drug dealers.
This drug dealer is Pettis and his little henchman Bobby.
A few years before the crime, Lorenson gave the two people his own sports car, which seemed to be a normal transaction, but the Drug Enforcement Administration found that the owner of the sports car was still Lorenson after the transaction, so they suspected that Lorenson had assisted drug dealers in money laundering.
Combined with the confession of his ex-wife, the husband has $110,000 in his hand, could it be that the drug dealer asked Lorenson to help launder the money?
Or maybe the two sides couldn't get along for a while, and then it happened.
Lorenson's embarrassing financial situation at the time of the crime seems to support this conjecture.
An investigation is as fierce as a tiger, and when the investigation team thinks it is about to get close to the truth, news came from the police station in the next state that the two drug dealers happened to be detained at the time of the crime, and they had no time to commit the crime at all, so it can't be them, so who will it be?
In order to get valuable clues, Lorenson's relatives and friends crowdfunded from the community, hoping to raise funds to reward those who provided useful clues, but in the end they only received 2$10,000.
$10,000 of them came from the Grizzlies, where Lorenson played, another $10,000 from FedEx, and the remaining 1,000 from a crime show on a television station.
Lorenson did a lot of good deeds for the people around him and the community when he was a big man, but why didn't anyone want to donate money?
This has to go back to Silas, after the death of her husband, Silas wrote a book about Lorenson's domestic violence and drug trafficking, etc., which shocked Lorenson's previously established image to nothing.
The most hated thing by the locals is drugs, as Obuchi said earlier, more than 80 people died in Memphis in the year of the crime!
In this way, the investigation reached a dead end, until two years after the incident, an accident occurred.
Jimmy. The whistleblower, Jamie, said after being jailed once that he wanted to take credit for his crimes and know the truth about the death of Memphis star Lorenson.
Looking up Jimmy's identity, ** was really shocked, he happened to be Silas's cousin.
Jimmy told ** that Silas approached him in 2010 and wanted him to help deal with Lorenson.
Jamie was shocked after hearing this, eldest sister, this fatal thing can't be a joke.
Silas replied, "Do you think I'm joking?"
Only when Lorenson dies will I get the $1 million insurance payment, and I'll share it with you.
With the money, Jamie finds another partner, Billy, and sets off for Atlanta to take out Lorenson.
According to the agreed plan, Silas will arrive in Atlanta early to meet her ex-husband, and when she leaves, she will deliberately leave the window open so that the two killers can sneak in through the window.
On the day of the attack, although the two killers did manage to infiltrate Lorenson's residence, they found that the person lying on the sofa was not Lorenson.
After the first ** failure, Jimmy returned to Mississippi, while his partner Billy returned to Memphis.
But within a few days, the news of Lorenson's violent death in the wilderness was broadcast on the television station.
Jamie said that after seeing the news, the first person he thought of was Lorenson's ex-wife Silas, a crazy woman who really didn't shed tears when she saw the coffin.
A few days after the incident, Silas went to her mother to borrow a metal detector and used it to find the pistol that had fallen at the scene, then drove it into a lake in Walnut City.
Jixiangmi told ** that as long as ** lowered his sentence, then he could take ** to find the pistol.
Bob. Is what Jamie said true?
Until the truth is found, the investigation team is skeptical.
To verify Jamie's confession, they investigate Billy and discover that his relationship with Silas is indeed unusual.
Before the crime, Billy often went to Silas's house to weed, and as a result, he was removed from the bed.
According to **'s information, Billy had already committed many crimes before hooking up with Silas, including assault, kidnapping, drug trafficking, etc., and he was a complete old boy.
In the face of **'s suspicions, Billy and Silas both denied it, saying that it was all a lie made up by Jamie to get out of prison.
Silas even threatened to sue **, how could I, a good citizen and a mother of six, do such a thing?
In order to find out the truth, ** sent people to dive to the bottom of the lake to find the pistol, but it is not easy to find the pistol that has been buried for several years at the bottom of the lake covered with silt.
However, in June 2017, just seven years after the incident, Memphis** suddenly announced that they had successfully found the pistol that killed Lorenson, and the Lorenson case, which had been turned over, caused a sensation again.
Although the guns could not be used normally, with the efforts of **, they still completed the ballistic test.
At the same time, ** also obtained two other strong evidence, one of which was the confession of the nanny at Silas's home at the time of the crime, she said that some time before the crime, Billy and Jamie had gone to the residence to conspire with Silas.
The second is that after finding the gun, Silas once said in ** that someone must have secretly snitched to **, otherwise they would not have found the pistol at all.
The day after this fight, Silas returned to Memphis to meet Billy, and all of this was stolen by agents in the shadows.
Six months after the guns were found, Billy and Silas were arrested, and the following year they were indicted for first-degree willfulness.
In the face of strong evidence, the jury unanimously found both men guilty.
Although Silas admitted his crime in court, he did not explain the specific process of committing the crime.
According to the evidence collected, on the day of the crime, Lorenson was playing ball with his son after returning from Atlanta, and then he received a ** from his wife, and was lured by his wife to a remote jungle outside his residence.
Lorenson thought that Silas wanted to talk to him about the relationship between the two, but he was shot dead by Silas and Billy. It was at this time that the Germantown Police Department received a call from Lorenson**.
As an NBA player with excellent physical conditions and basketball skills, Lorensen could have written his own legend in the NBA, but because he encountered a wrong marriage, he ruined everything, wore a green hat, ruined his family, and lost his life, which is really regrettable.
