Dan Serafini Of MLB Fame Arrested For Alleged Murder Of Father-In-Law

Authorities in Nevada arrested former MLB baseball player Dan Serafini, 49, in connection to the murder of his father-in-law and attempted murder of his mother-in-law in 2021, California’s Placer County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) announced. Moreover, police also apprehended suspect Samantha Scott, 33, in Las Vegas. Serafini previously pitched for the Minnesota Twins, the Chicago Cubs, and various other professional teams throughout his career. Furthermore, his arrest follows a two-year investigation into a 2021 incident that left 70-year-old Robert Gary Spohr deceased and attempted to do the same to 68-year-old Wendy Wood. The perpetrator (or several) shot them in their North Lake Tahoe home, but only Wood recovered from her injuries, although she passed away a year later.

While Placer County awaits Dan Serafini and Samantha Scott’s extradition, they shared more information on the incident in question. On the day of the murder, video surveillance showed a hooded male figure with a face-covering mask and backpack went to Spohr and Wood’s house hours before the crime. The PCSO complied a lot of evidence in this investigation thanks to detective follow-ups and collaboration with the District Attorney’s office. All this led them to believe that Serafini and Scott are suspects, as both have ties to the victims and each other.
