A father who came home to a home filled with the dead bodies of his two daughters, fiance and another man has claimed he has no information that could help the detectives find the killers
A man being held in South Carolina for selling drugs has been suspicioned of holding back information about the death of his two teenage daughters as well as two other people.
Christopher Wright’s lawyer said that he did in fact give information to four separate detectives as well as passing a lie detector test when asked about the killers, according to The New York Times.
On Friday, Wright was charged with three counts of child endangerment, obstruction of justice and also trafficking cocaine.
Orangeburg County Sheriff Leroy Ravenell has stated that he is taking this case personally due to the frustration that the current deputies have not come up with any specific information to help them solve the deaths of the teens, Wright’s fiancé and the other man.
The shooting deaths happened at Wright’s home about 60 miles out from Charleston. The evidence that has been confirmed about the shootings is that the killers were in fact looking for drugs and weapons.
“This case is directly tied to the way he was living — drug dealing,” Ravenell said.
There is evidence that Wright was selling drugs only hours before the killings, according to information found on his text messages.
The day after the July 15 shootings is when Wright was arrested on a drug charge. The fatal shootings that took four lives also injured his 8-year-old son.
As soon as Wright was released on a $30,000 bail, he forewent attending his fiancé’s funeral or visiting his injured son in the hospital, and returned to selling drugs.
“He has since day one been uncooperative with law enforcement. He has lied about the investigation and he lawyered up. He doesn’t want to talk to us about the investigation of his kids,” the sheriff said.
Although Wright was not at home when the shootings happened, he was the one to discover the bodies when we got home.
“He was the first to come on the scene. He was the first to call 911. He had to see this unfortunate event,” Williams said.
