Yeah, no, it's interesting at the preliminary hearing. So they showed the video of this person walking into the house and out. And the defense was saying that video proves it's not Serafini because the person looks smaller and lighter. You know, Danny's a pretty buff guy, big shoulders. They claim that that video proves it's not him. That's not Danny.
And their contention is, why kill the golden goose? Aaron's parents were giving them all the money they wanted, so why put an end to that?
Absolutely.
That's what we understand, that Aaron will testify on behalf of her husband.
Oh, yeah, there will be a lot of updates. It's going to go on for a while.
Yeah, happy to be here. Thanks for having me.
They seem like a really lovely couple. I mean, I know we say that a lot, but in their case, it's certainly true. They met in college. They met 50 years ago. They started dabbling in real estate, just kept making good investments over and over and over again, apparently. Their estate overall is worth maybe $10 million, $10 plus.
Yeah, three years apart. The oldest one, Aaron, married Danny Serafini, who was an interesting character. Left-handed reliever, journeyman, pitched at a variety of baseball teams in the major leagues. And then he eventually retired. He kind of aged out. They settled in an area called Sparks, which is adjacent to Reno.
And he bought a bar there, called it the Bullpen, since he was a bullpen pitcher. Yeah. And, you know, I don't know how successful the bar was.
So there was a 911 call. Someone was on the line, but sort of moaning, breathing, and they could hear a television in the background. Oh, wow. And that's it. EMTs went out there, and it took them a while to find the house, just because it was a cell call. And they went up into the family room, the TV's on, and they found Gary slumped to the side, dead. He'd been shot in the head.
They saw there was a blood trail and they followed the blood trail into a bathroom and there they found Wendy. There was an EMT checked on Wendy, thought she was dead. And then she moaned and said, oh, my gosh, she's alive. That's awful. And then she was medevaced to a trauma center in Reno. Police investigators do not believe she's going to make it.
And weeks go by and then she comes out of a coma. And she's questioned. She has no memory of what happened, though.
Yes. They looked at the family security system. And what had happened that day is that Gary and Wendy had Aaron and the grandchildren over to go boating. And there's footage of that. Then While they're away, a person comes walking up their road and then into their driveway. And this person's wearing a hoodie, wearing a surgical mask, and presumably goes inside the house through the garage door.
And then— Scary. Yes. Erin leaves with the kids. And after she leaves, there's a recording of five gunshots. And then a couple of minutes later, you see this person with the hoodie on, the mask, leave the same way they came in.
No, not at all. Not at that point.
She's doing very well. She's gone through rehab. She's learned how to ride a bike again.
Yes. Apparently, Wendy... Was found dead, I think it was 23 months or so after the shooting. The death is ruled to be a suicide. Wow, that's so sad. Yeah, yeah, very much so.
There was no public disclosures as far as in terms of how the investigation was progressing. It got handed down from like one prosecutor to the next. And the latest prosecutor really chewed away at it, as did the lead detective.
I believe they were on, they were looking at him hard. early on, at least judging from the preliminary hearing. Danny Serafini was having financial problems. Investigators said that he burned through all of his money that he got from Major League Baseball years earlier.
And so it seems like he always had to go hat in hand to his in-laws to ask for money to help keep the bar going, to help keep his kids in school, to help pay his mortgage, and finally got tired of it and wanted his inheritance earlier than was due. There was a detective that testified
