The body of Sherby Denise Wright, 18, of Argonne Boulevard, was found Oct. 19 near the entrance to Kimberly Park Swimming Pool. Ms. Wright, who had been strangled, was found nude with a rope around her neck. According to police of ficials, however, an autopsy revealed that she had not been sexually abused. I The Wright murder has been the subject of rumors that the death was in the style similar to the mass murders in Buffalo, N.Y., and Atlanta, Ga. Rumors circulated throughout the city that several other bodies had been found, murdered in a similar fashion to Ms. Wright and that police were reluctant to give details. Another rumor was that a note was found attached to Ms. Wright’s body reading “15 more will die.” Both, according to WSPD detectives investigating the case, are rumors. Two bodies have been found in East Winston, but the cases are unrelated, police officials said. Sgt. F.E. Mason of the WSPD has issued a plea on behalf of the department to anyone who had any contact with Ms. Wright, or might have possibly witnessed the murder to come forth. He also said that anyone who knew of someone that might want to hurt Ms. Wright should also contact him at the Criminal Investigation Division of the WSPD, or call 727-2451. In another ineident, a Winston-Salem man was killed Monday night in the parking lot of the Big D Lounge in what police believe were matters related to his in debtedness and drugs. Richard Earnest McMillian, 40, of Liberty Street, was found dead approximately 11:55 p.m. The cause of death was a single bullet that had entered his back. Sgt. W.J. Luffman said that when McMillian’s body was found, a white powder was in his posession.
