A man from Florida has alleged that his 71-year-old wife, Bertha Yalter, attempted to smother him with a pillow. According to the police report filed on the incident, the motive behind the harrowing act stemmed from the man receiving a postcard from a former girlfriend he had over six decades ago.
The report indicates that tensions escalated in the Yalter household when the man received the unexpected correspondence from his long-ago flame. Allegedly, upon discovering the postcard, Bertha Yalter reacted explosively, leading to a confrontation between the couple. The situation reportedly escalated to the point where Bertha allegedly attempted to smother her husband with a pillow, prompting him to seek assistance from law enforcement.
Law enforcement officials responded promptly to the distress call and arrived at the scene to defuse the situation. The man, whose identity remains undisclosed, reportedly escaped the ordeal without serious injuries. However, the incident has raised eyebrows and sparked conversations about the complexities of relationships and the longevity of grudges. Authorities are currently investigating the matter further to determine the appropriate course of action.
