Hey guys and welcome to the Moms a Murder podcast, a true crime podcast featuring myself Mandy and my dear friend Melissa. Hi, Melissa. Hi, Mandy. How are you? I'm doing great. How are you? Good. I didn't know where you were going with that. I'm doing really well. We are, when you're listening to this, it'll be a week before Thanksgiving and we're all getting pumped up about food. I'm always pumped up about food. But now like, it's like appropriate to be this excited about food. Yeah. Yeah, that's great. I'm very excited for Thanksgiving.

I said that last week, but I'm even more excited now that it's even closer. So, yes. Would you like to add things you're thankful to this week? Because we are off next week and you won't be able to say this on the show about me specifically. Yes, Melissa. I'm so thankful for you. I love you so much. I'm so glad that you do this with me. Okay. That was the least sincere thing I've ever heard. But I'm going to say ditto, whether you believe the sincerity or not. That's on you. But yes, we are off next week. I think we talked about that before. We're off next week. And we will be back the week after doing the same thing. Yes. Yeah yeah so this week we're talking about a bit of a higher profile case involving an NBA basketball star from memphis

Tennessee if you are from that area or even if you're just a basketball fan you probably remember

the murder of lorenzen right and the difficult time that the police had when it came to solving the crime.

Before we get into the details of Lorenzen's life, his basketball career, and his murder,

we're going to tell you a little about where this crime took place in this week's segment of we googled this city.

Memphis is located on the Mississippi River and as of the 2018 census has a population of around 650,000 residents.

Memphis was actually named after Memphis Egypt, which that came as a complete surprise to me.

Doesn't Memphis just sound southern?

Like, I did not think it came from somewhere else.

Yeah.

How dumb of that is that of me? I was like, no, that's definitely in the south. But it came from somewhere else. Yeah. How dumb of that is that of me?

I was like, no, that's definitely in the South.

But it came from Memphis, Egypt, and it actually means established and beautiful.

Mandy, you'll like this.

A man named Hoyt B. Wooten, which is not an easy name to say, built the world's largest private bomb shelter in Memphis.

What?

Yeah, I guess I looked for details, but it was kind of even hard to read too much about it,

because if you have a bomb shelter protecting you from the end of the world, I don't think

you want to give like a map to where people can find you at the end of the world.

Yeah.

That was kind of interesting.
