Case Story |

Husband And Wife Brutally Beaten In NorCal Home |
|
| |
Friends say Ernie Scherer and his wife, Charlene Abendroth, were enjoying their "golden years." For two years, the couple lived in their 4,000 sq.ft. Castlewood Country Club home near the East Bay suburb of Pleasanton, Calif., 40 miles from San Francisco. Among their neighbors in the posh country club community were professional golfers and sports celebrities. The pair liked to travel, and had just returned from trips to Antarctica and the Galapagos Islands.
On March 14, 2008, Ernie and Charlene's daughter couldn't reach them by phone and began to worry so she called the Castlewood homeowner's association. A security guard was sent to their home and noticed a week's worth of mail and newspapers piling up. When the guard looked through a front window, he made a startling discovery; the lifeless remains of Ernie Scherer were lying on the floor.
When detectives from the Alameda County Sheriff's Department arrived, they found the husband and wife in their pajamas, brutally beaten, and lying in different parts of the house. The home had been ransacked.
Normally, Ernie and Charlene were in bed by 11 p.m., and police believe that's about the time of day that they were killed.
Currently, police have not named any suspects and are in the process of reviewing surveillance video from eight cameras.
Ernie and Charlene were well-known figures in their community. Cops say Ernie was a colorful character with conservative -- and sometimes controversial -- views on taxes and public schools that upset some. Ernie was a real estate investor in residential properties throughout the country, and was an expert at poker.
Charlene was regarded as one of the most popular college professors at California State University East Bay, where she taught Economics for 30 years. She was also involved in church activities. Ernie and Charlene are survived by two adult children. |
