In 1990, Salmi and his second wife, Roberta, were found shot to death in their home in Spokane, Washington. It was reported by friends and other family members that Salmi was suffering from depression, and his wife, to whom he was very devoted, was in poor health at the time. Albert moved out of the house when the couple underwent a separation. He was living in Idaho, when he couldn't bear living without Roberta, when he drove to their Rockwood home, and shot her, then turned the gun on himself.
Einfach schrecklick und unvorstellbar....hatte es 1990 damals live in den Medien mitbekommen und mich schockiert es noch heute!
