A neighbor of Lorenzen Wright's ex-wife, Sherra Wright, says the woman was always saying she needed money.

It was common to see Wright walking down Whisperwood Drive, shouting into her cell phone and making demands for money.

"It was really bizarre," neighbor Patricia Coleman told the New York Daily News.

"She wouldn't talk in the house," Coleman said. "She would walk up and down the street and scream and holler. Neighbors would call and ask what's going on? She was always saying she needed money. That's one of the reasons we're concerned today."

The slain body of Lorenzen Wright was found in a deserted area of southeast Memphis on July 28.

Sherra Wright is described by neighbors as distant and aloof and has emerged as a person of interest in the police investigation.

The Wrights divorced in February.
