In the wake of her parents' tragic and mysterious murder, Erin was reported to be offering $150,000 for information leading to the apprehension of the culprit. Now, it appears as though the perp may be closer to her than she likely ever imagined.

According to authorities, the 49-year-old was arrested alongside 33-year-old Samantha Scott in connection with the shooting.

Robert, Erin's father, died immediately at the scene. Wendy, who was badly wounded, reportedly took her own life months later in a nursing home. Erin Serafini's sister, Adrienne, told authorities that she believed that the attack was targeted, but the culprit was not identified.

Erin married Dan in Hawaii in 2011. They featured in a 2015 episode of Paramount Network's "Bar Rescue". She is also an avid equestrian rider, and currently based in Reno, Nevada.

She was featured in the 2015 Equestrian Culture magazine and currently operates a riding farm a short distance outside the city.

A left-handed pitcher, Dan Serafini was selected by the Minnesota Twins in the first round of the 1992 MLB Entry Draft. He spent seven seasons in MLB as a relief pitcher. He spent three years pitching for the Twins. After playing for the Chicago Cubs in 1999, Serafini became a journeyman. He was also suspended for 50 games in 2007 after failing a PED test.

Still many unanswered questions surrounding Dan Serafini in Erin's personal tragedy

While the investigation into Dan and his associate Samantha is still in a nascent stage, the current information paints a very grim picture indeed. Although a motive has not yet been identified, some publications have stipulated that Dan Serafini may have killed his in-laws for financial reasons.

Following his retirement from the Colorado Rockies in 2007, it was reported that Serafini had lost $14 million by virtue of "bad investments and a divorce settlement".
