Mayo Clinic doctor who 'poisoned wife' charged with murder
The former Mayo Clinic resident accused of poisoning his wife with gout medicine after their 'open relationship' failed has been indicted for first degree murder.
Despite the couple agreeing to be in an 'open relationship' with no strings attached, Bowman allegedly became infatuated with his new girlfriend, prompting Betty to confront him and suggest they start divorce proceedings.
Bowman, who was in debt, also told a friend he was due for a $500,000 life insurance policy following her death.
Upon searching Bowman's home, investigators recovered a receipt for a $450,000 bank deposit.
Friends, many of whom were medical professionals themselves, are said to have suspected the 30-year-old may have had a role in his wife's death.
Ten days before Betty's death, a friend reportedly tried a smoothie Bowman had made for his wife. It 'tasted very bad,' and the friend even joked that 'Connor must be trying to poison her.'
Betty quipped that she 'had considered it at the time and said she didn’t think that would happen.' However, she chose not to drink the smoothie anyway and threw it out, the affidavit said.
One of Betty's boyfriends told detectives she was so sick she 'could not sleep at all' after a night of drinking with her husband, four days before her death.
She said the culprit may have been alcohol that was mixed into a large smoothie, according to the affidavit.

I see what you mean. He's a evil D U M M Y.
Bowman ultimately tried to blame Betty for 'fraudulently' buying the colchicine under his name.
