Jealous doctor’s rage at ex-boyfriend’s new girlfriend leads to a 99-year-old grandmother’s house being set on fire: Cops

A Pennsylvania doctor is in jail after she allegedly sent threatening flyers and set fire to the porch of a home belonging to the grandmother of her ex-boyfriend’s new girlfriend.

Dr. Amy Cohen, 35, is facing a slew of charges including attempted murder, aggravated assault, arson and terroristic threats. According to a criminal complaint reviewed by Law&Crime, the investigation began Nov. 24 when Lower Merion police were called after someone left a flyer at the home of a 99-year-old woman that featured photos of two of her granddaughters with X’s crossing out their eyes. The letter addressed the woman by name and said her “idiot” and “slut” granddaughters need to quit their jobs and leave Pennsylvania.

“We know what they’ve done. They need to leave alone. If they don’t, they will both get hurt. We will know. Don’t test us!” the letter said.

Another letter mailed to a different family member claimed the two granddaughters were “promoting islamophobia” after they posted their support of Israel on social media. Their pictures also were on the flyer, which said “we know” where they lived and worked.

“They are disgusting,” the letter said. “If they don’t leave Pennsylvania, they will BOTH get HURT. Don’t test US!”

The family alerted Lower Merion police, the FBI and the Anti-Defamation League.
