But now they are reeling from the shock over the allegations that she wasDr. Connor Bowman, a 32-year-old who did his residency at the Mayo Clinic, was charged with second-degree murder after, prosecutors allege, hehis wife in August with a drug used to treat gout.
One of Betty's friends, Mary Bartlett, told The Daily Beast that “what happened to Betty was horrific, and we hope justice prevails.”for the family, told The Daily Beast. “So intelligent and caring and lived life to the fullest.”It says Connor Bowman purchased colchicine and sodium nitrate online, made some suspicious internet searches just before the murder, and then tried to cover his tracks with an unsuccessful attempt to cancel an autopsy and rush a cremation.
Days before she was admitted to the hospital, Betty was texting a man about how “she had a few days off work and was looking to spend some time with him,” the complaint says. The next day, she texted him that “she was sick and could not sleep at all because she felt so ill.” She added “that she thought it was a drink she had received that caused her illness because it was mixed in a large smoothie.
Investigators got their break in the case when they obtained a search warrant for Bowman’s house and his laptop, which showed he had researched colchicine, even though he had not received any calls about the gout drug. He also looked up sodium nitrate, which is used to limit oxygen throughout the body. “There was then a Google shop page for various vendors selling sodium nitrate,” the complaint states.
