Ex-MLB Pitcher Dan Serafini Sentenced to Life for Lake Tahoe Murder [Current Affairs]

Former MLB pitcher Dan Serafini has been sentenced to life in prison without parole for the 2021 murder of his father-in-law Gary Spohr and the attempted murder of his mother-in-law Wendy Wood at their Lake Tahoe home. Prosecutors argued Serafini carried out the attack with help from his secret lover, the family’s former nanny, in a case built largely on circumstantial evidence that ended with a guilty verdict in 2025 and sentencing in February 2026. Current Affairs is Love Murder’s shorter show about the cases of love gone fatally wrong that are in the news right now.
