Details of Disappearance​

Wright was last seen in Winfield, Missouri on June 24, 2001. He, his wife and their baby son were spending the day with friends on the river. Their boat ran out of gas and was anchored near the 238 mile marker, about 200 yards from short.

Wright went to the front of the boat to urinate, and fell off into the water. He couldn't swim and the river was running high and fast. He was swept away and disappeared in spite of the others' attempts to rescue him. He is presumed drowned, but his body was never found.
