He hid in a closet under the stairs for five hours. Then his in laws sat down to watch TV

Lake Tahoe. A sunny Saturday in June.

Gary Spore and Wendy Wood are wealthy real estate investors.Multi million dollar home overlooking the water.

They spend the day boating with their daughter Aaron and her two little boys. Their grandsons.

When they get back, Gary fires up the kitchen and cooks dinner for everyone.

Before Aaron loads the boys into the SUV for the drive home to Reno, Wendy hands her a check. $9,000.

A gift to finally build the indoor riding ring Aaron's been dreaming about for her horse center.

They hug.

Wave goodbye.

Aaron pulls away with the kids around 7:45 PM.

It's been a perfect day.

Sunshine. Family.

Calm water and good memories.

Wendy and Gary head back inside.

Settle onto the couch.

Turn on the TV.

They have no idea that while they were out on the water, a man slipped into their garage.

Security cameras caught him.

Masked. Moving quickly.

Then he disappeared inside the house.

He's been hiding for hours. Under the stairs.In a closet.

Waiting for the family to leave and the couple to settle in.

An hour after Aaron drives away, he makes his move.

Gary is shot in the back of the head.

Dies instantly.

Wendy is hit twice in the head.

But somehow she doesn't die.

She crawls to the bathroom.

Dials 911.

She's so badly injured all she can do is gasp for air.

Responders trace the call. Find her on the bathroom floor.

Fly her to Reno by helicopter.

She spends a month in intensive care.

Then two years learning to walk, talk, read, and cook all over again.

The depression and anxiety crush her.

Without Gary, life feels unbearable.

In 2023, Wendy takes her own life.

But before she dies, she tells friends and investigators the same thing.

She knows who pulled the trigger.

Her own son in law. Former Major League Baseball pitcher Daniel Saraphini.
