Wright then admitted he shot and killed Athina Hopson during a walk on March 17. He maintained he accidentally shot her in the head twice as he tripped and fell, again, near his home. He placed her body in the back of his truck and allegedly headed for the hospital though her body, he says, fell out of the vehicle as he drove over a bridge. He said he was unable to retrieve the body and chose to leave it in the river. Hopson was reported missing on March 21, and was last seen alive with Wright.
