Despite Disloyalty, Ex-MLB Pitcher’s Wife Set to Defend Husband Accused of Heinous Crime Against Her Parents

It’s the kind of story that almost doesn’t feel real. It sounds like a plot that’s pulled right out of a dark and twisted movie. But in reality, for the family of former MLB pitcher Dan Serafini, it is a living nightmare.

Back in 2021, a tragic incident had shaken the Lake Tahoe neighborhood. Gary Spohr was found dead from a gunshot wound. And his wife, Wendy Wood, was badly injured. A middle-aged couple, one would think of it as burglary gone bad. But adding to the shock was that authorities revealed—this was no random act. And the man accused of planning it? Their son-in-law- Dan Serafini.

And hence, now Dan Serafini, the one who was a name in MLB, is accused of murdering his father-in-law. And what’s shocking is now, as the trials begin, his wife, Erin Spohr, is not on the other side but on his side to defend the man accused of causing her family such deep pain. But really, things that have come out have been unsettling.

The court documents have revealed unsettling things. According to the Daily Mail, Serafini was allegedly involved in a romantic relationship with the family’s former nanny, Samantha Scott, at the time of the incident. The two were seen together at the Nevada casino the night before the fatal shooting. They shared drinks and hotel keys. However, Scott has now taken the plea deal and is expected to testify in court.

Prosecutors do believe that the real movie ties back to the family dispute over money.
