Synopsis:

What would you do if you just found out a brother you had not seen for 20 years had been murdered?“Who's Afraid of Wolffy?” is not only John Wolff, Jr.'s life story, but also the story of our brother-sister bond. A strong bond that prompted me to piece together the life of a brother I had dearly loved but had not seen for those many years, while attempting to deal with the emotional trauma of having a sibling murdered.John had shunned his family due to mental illness not long after returning from Vietnam and went off to live a solitary, puzzling life. It was painful to discover how my brother's once promising life had fallen into the ravages of schizophrenia. From being notified in the middle of the night of his death, to going through and handling every item of his estate, to selling properties in four states and two foreign countries, and worst of all, to being involved in every aspect of his murderer's arraignment, trial and ultimate conviction, this was without a doubt the most difficult and most life-challenging and life-changing task ever thrust upon me.
