Lorenzen has been known to disappear for periods of time. His father says he is in Europe though this has not been proven. Friends and family have become concerned about the length of time he has been gone.

We will follow this story and see if he returns on his own or if he is indeed

Collierville police are working hard to find missing basketball star Lorenzen Wright-- last seen a week ago. The police told Eyewitness News that they have doubled the number of detectives working on Wright's case from two to four-- but still no trace.

Former Memphis Grizzlies teammate, Antonio Burks, is as mystified by Lorenzen's disappearance as everybody else. "I'm hoping all is well for his family's sake and his kids. I would assume nothing at this time. He probably just wanted to take a vacation.. get away and clear his mind."

Lorenzen Wright Missing, Antonio Burks says this is not unusual. Concerns are growing for missing NBA star Lorenzen Wright. Reported missing last week, rumors are now beginning to surface that the former Cleveland Cavaliers player often disappears for short periods, with no word.

Ex-team mate, Antonio Burks, reassures fans that Wright is a family orientated man that wouldn’t just disappear under normal circumstances and he’s probably taking a break from the stress and pressures surrounding him.

Lorenzen was shot 12 times. LE are sure it's his body and are conducting an investigation. Somebody must have been pretty mad to fire that many times. To me, it sounds personal.

No indication who is responsible for his death yet.

The line below about investigating his ex-wife was not stated by LE but by his assistant. Yet, the ex-wife would be top of the list for LE to look at.

It appears LE has more questions than answers at this time. The ex-wife has been questioned and has given a story about being threatened. LE has their work cut out for them in solving this brutal crime. What about his insurance money? I have not heard anything about who that goes to yet. He has six children.

More Questions than Answers in Lorenzen Wright Investigation

Lorenzen Wright's ex-wife Sherra Wright has been interviewed by Memphis and Collierville police regarding her ex-husbands disappearance and murder.

Gail Mathes Sherra's divorce attorney insists her client had no financial reason to want her husband dead.

"The worst thing that could happen to her is for Mr. Wright to be deceased. She needed him to be alive and working and helping her support the children," said Mathes.

According to Mathes, Lorenzen had a court order to pay Ms. Wright $10,000 a month in alimony and the children $16,000."

Money he never paid.

Monday Sherra Wright met with Collierville police revealing information, she failed to tell detectives in an earlier meeting, when Wright was just a missing person.

"She acknowledged that three men had come to her door approximately six weeks before," said Mathes. "She stated she had not told anyone that because she had been threatened with her life or the life of one of her children."

Over a month later, Friday July 19th police received a 911 call from Lorenzen Wright's cell phone.

Expletives could be heard in the back ground then at least 10 gunshots but Wright was reported as being seen Monday evening at New Era Barber Shop.

I am trying to find out who gets the insurance but have not had any luck to date. This I feel is important. Also, why was he shot so many times?

I still have not found out any insurance information. The ex-wife is not speaking to LE and has retained an atty. who also won't let her talk. There is some problem in regard to her story too. No shock the ex won't talk. She states she just wants to take care of the kids.

Detectives searched the house but no indication as to what they were looking for. THis guy is really missed in his hometown. He is a somewhat hero.

Posting as I get information.
