The Placer County Sheriff’s Office credited vital surveillance video from the crime scene on June 5, 2021, for the arrest. The daughter of the victims had offered a $150,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.
Adrienne Spohr, the victims’ daughter, expressed the ongoing pain and disruption caused by the tragedy. She stated, “You can’t really ever go back to normal. There’s this big question mark floating — something horrific happened, and yet it’s like… everyone else goes on with their lives, but there’s this chasm in your life.”
Both victims were shot in the head, and while Wendy Wood survived, she tragically took her own life later on. Adrienne Spohr hopes that justice will be served for both deaths.
The Placer County Sheriff’s Office shared on Facebook that their detectives, along with the District Attorney’s Office, worked tirelessly for two years to gather information and evidence that led to the identification of Serafini and Scott as the suspects.
Serafini, a former Major League Baseball pitcher, had a career spanning from 1996 to 2007, playing for various teams including the Minnesota Twins, Chicago Cubs, Cincinnati Reds, Colorado Rockies, Pittsburgh Pirates, and San Diego Padres.
