Laurie Wolfe

Oakland, California resident, Laurie Wolfe, lived the kind of life many people strive for. At 57-years-old, she had become a successful business and property owner. She was a wife, daughter, and good friend. But everything came crashing down on July 6, 2014, when her husband, Joseph Bontempo, discovered her lifeless body at the bottom of the couple’s staircase. When the police arrived at the house, Joseph told the first responders his wife must have accidentally slipped down the stairs. But as the investigators uncovered the forensic evidence, there seemed to be more to Laurie’s tragic and sudden death.
