A man injured in the crash held a grudge for years, the district attorney said, and then “put his plan for revenge into motion.”
A Northern California man who disappeared five years ago was killed because of a long-simmering grudge over a DUI crash, the Sacramento County prosecutor said.Raymond Wright’s body has never been found, but a jury last week convicted two men of first-degree murder, said a press release Monday from the district attorney’s office.
On Jan. 11, 2018, Wright — then 55, and the divorced father of three — was last heard from shortly before leaving the Rio Linda workshop he used for his contracting business. Two days later, his concerned brother went to Wright’s home in Rocklin, in neighboring Placer County, and encountered a stranger inside; the intruder fled. The family reported the incident to police, and a missing-person case was opened.
The week after that, on Jan. 27, 2018, a California Highway Patrol officer pulled over a drunk-driving suspect, Victor Merle Gray, and found a bloody raincoat and items belonging to Wright. The blood was Wright’s; Gray’s DNA matched that on a drink straw left by the stranger in Wright’s home.
