Danny Serafini, accused of killing father-in-law, was having affair with family nanny: court docs

Former major league pitcher Dan Serafini is currently facing trial for his alleged involvement in the deadly 2021 ambush of his in-laws. The shocking details of the case have revealed that Serafini was reportedly having an affair with his family nanny, Samantha Scott, at the time of the incident.

According to court documents, Scott is expected to testify against Serafini during the trial. It is believed that she drove the former pitcher to his in-laws’ home on the night of the fatal shooting, leading to their simultaneous arrest.

While Scott took a plea deal earlier this year, prosecutors have claimed that the motive behind the slaying was a long-standing family feud over money. The victims of the attack were Gary Spohr, Serafini’s father-in-law, who was killed, and Wendy Wood, his wife, who initially survived but tragically took her own life in 2023.

Serafini, who played for multiple MLB teams during his 7-year career, is married to Erin Spohr, the daughter of the couple he is accused of attacking. Despite the serious allegations against him, his wife is expected to testify in his defense during the trial.

The case has garnered significant media attention due to the shocking nature of the allegations and the involvement of a former professional athlete. As the trial unfolds, more details are expected to emerge regarding the events leading up to the tragic ambush and the complex relationships between the individuals involved.
