Wendy Wood, 68, was shot in her Homewood, California home on June 5, 2021. Her husband, Robert Gary Spohr, was killed by a single gunshot wound at the scene. Wendy Wood sustained two gunshot wounds to the head, was hospitalized, spent a month in the intensive care unit and several weeks in rehabilitation relearning basic skills, and never regained memory of the attack.

Wendy later struggled with severe depression related to her injuries and trauma and died by suicide less than a year after the shooting. Two suspects were arrested more than two years after the incident: Daniel Serafini and Samantha Scott, who were charged with murder of Robert Spohr and attempted murder of Wendy Wood; both pleaded not guilty. The complaint included allegations of premeditated attempted murder and killing while lying in wait, and Serafini faced an additional child abuse and endangerment charge.

Family litigation followed: Adrienne Spohr filed a wrongful death suit naming her sister Erin Spohr, Serafini, and Scott, alleging a conspiracy to kill the parents for financial gain and noting that Wendy had disinherited Erin because she believed Erin was involved. Does anyone have information about the night of June 5, 2021, or about the relationships among the family and the accused that could help clarify what happened?
