Summary
Join us for a special March Madness Murders episode of "Murder: True Crime Stories." In 2003, 21-year-old Patrick Dennehy’s basketball career was tragically cut short when he was found shot dead in Waco, Texas. The ensuing investigation revealed a tragic conspiracy that reached the highest levels of Baylor University. Years later, in 2010, another basketball star lost his life far too soon. That year, 34-year-old retired NBA player Lorenzen Wright was brutally murdered in Memphis, Tennessee. And the person responsible was closer to home than anyone could’ve imagined.
"Murder: True Crime Stories" is a Crime House Original. Follow us on Instagram @crimehouse for more true crime content.
