been murdered. it was surreal. it didn t seem like something like that could really have happened to someone i know. not her ernie, thankfully, but ernie s parents. ere ernie scherer jr. and his wife charlene abendroth murdered. found dead in their own house which was in an upscale country club right across the san francisco bay from adrian s hotel. and now, of course, the house was a crime scene where even the season lead detective scott dudek was horrified by what he saw. it was probably the most gruesome brutal homicide scene i ve ever seen. it was march 14th, 2008, when the call came in. a country club employee had seen what looked like a body through the scherer s window. detective kirsten tucker was one of the first on the scene. as i approached the front door of the home, i could smell the odor of decay and blood from quite a distance away. and inside was like a war zone. blood everywhere. and the battered bodies of two people who had clearly fought for their lives.
largely circumstantial except for a small slip of paper discovered at the crime scene that could be the key to blowing the case wide open. here again, keith morrison. it was september 2010, just months before ernie scherer iii was to go on trial for the murder of his parents. prosecutors pored over the evidence scott dudek and his detectives had collected. was there anything else? anything they missed, they might use to seal the case against ernie scherer? and that s when they saw it. something quite odd. they came across a piece of paper that we had collected that had blood droplets on it. just one small piece of paper, which one of the detectives picked up from the bloody floor of the murder scene a few feet away from the lifeless body of ernie s father, ernest scherer jr. it was a warranty card for a baseball bat. that s all it was. no big deal.
