Ex-Mayo Clinic Doctor Indicted on Upgraded Charge of First-Degree Premeditated Murder

Dr. Connor Bowman Allegedly Poisoned Wife with Colchicine and Planned to Cash in $500,000 Life Insurance Policy

Dr. Connor Bowman, a former Mayo Clinic doctor, has been indicted on an upgraded charge of first-degree premeditated murder for the alleged poisoning death of his wife, Betty Bowman.
Bowman is accused of poisoning his wife with colchicine, a drug used to treat gout, and then trying to have her body quickly cremated.
Bowman allegedly planned to cash in a $500,000 life insurance policy after his wife's death.
Bowman's internet search history allegedly revealed he had looked up material about colchicine and its lethal dosage, as well as how to obtain sodium nitrate, a drug used to restrict oxygen in the blood.
If convicted of the new charge, Bowman faces life behind bars without the possibility of parole.
