A medical examiner determined Betty Bowman died after being poisoned by a drug that a tipster told police her husband had researched.
A grand jury in Minnesota has indicted a doctor accused of fatally poisoning his wife, and upgraded charges against him to first-degree murder, authorities said.
Dr. Connor Bowman, 30, was arrested in October and charged with second-degree murder linked to the death of his wife, Betty Bowman. She was 32 years old when she died Aug. 20, only four days after she was admitted to a hospital.
Investigators collected evidence that indicated Connor Bowman, who once worked for poison control, “may have given Betty Bowman a drug for an ailment she did not have,” Rochester police had said.
I don’t understand how people think they can get away with murders involving poison. There’s just too much evidence left behind. Even if her body had been cremated, there would still be the toxicology reports from the hospital.
