91-Year-Old Man Charged in Wife's Murder | Augusta Georgia News

A 91-year-old Florida man, William Lippold, faces murder charges after allegedly shooting his blind, Alzheimer’s-stricken wife — a crime he claims was motivated by a promise to never put her in a nursing home. His son arrived after being called by his father, who confessed to the killing and attempted suicide. Lippold had recently bought a gun and practiced at a range; neighbors heard a gunshot the night before. When deputies arrived, Lippold reportedly said, “It’s not complicated, I shot my wife.” The scene revealed a firearm, shell casing, and a note. He’s charged with first-degree murder, with firearm use as a key factor. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
