Back on Aug 6, 2018, Ulfr told a 911 dispatcher he found Danielle Scarr dead at her home, the home he used to live at.
Records show Ulfr’s sister heard him tell an attorney he broke into Scarr’s home and hid in a closet to wait for the man she was dating to leave the house.
Deputies said once Scarr was alone Ulfr put on a disguise and attacked her from behind.
