A 61-year-old mother is dead in her own home, and her adult son is behind bars on suspicion of murder. This is the kind of story that should make every parent’s blood boil.
Angela Caprioli was found dead inside a house Laguna Beach, California on July 20th. Four days later, her son, 36-year-old Safford Wolfson was arrested on suspicion of murder. Motive and cause of death have not been released.
According to the New York Post and Fox News, a neighbor named Dustin Pettit says he saw the two in a heated, hostile argument just days before Caprioli’s body was discovered. He watched her turn around, walk inside, and slam the door like she’d had enough. Wolfson had moved into the home about six months earlier.
Wolfson’s social media accounts identify him as transgender. One profile describes a “trans girl looking for fun in LA.” TikTok videos associated with him show him in dresses and skirts. In a 2024 Facebook post, he wrote, “Not even my mom wants to hang out with me man… talk about lame-o!”
