Authorities were clued in to a Minnesota poison control specialist's alleged role in his wife's death after a concerned friend reported the couple's marital issues shortly after the doctor asked for her to be 'cremated immediately.' Dr. Connor Fitzgerald Bowman is facing a second-degree murder charge in connection to the death of his wife, 32-year-old Betty Bowman.
Betty had recently told friends that her husband was about $500,000 in debt and that they kept separate bank accounts; meanwhile, per the affidavit, Connor told a friend that he stood to receive a $500,000 life insurance payout after his wife's death. A man referred to only as 'SS' told detectives that Betty told him she 'had a few days off and was looking to spend some time with him' on Aug. 14.
