ROCHESTER, Minn. – A new warrant reveals a former Mayo Clinic doctor accused of fatally poisoning his wife last year may have been identifying as a widower before she even died.
Connor Bowman, 31, is facing charges of second-and first-degree murder for the death of 32-year-old Betty Bowman on Aug. 20, 2023.
According to her obituary, Betty Bowman died at the Mayo Clinic’s St. Mary’s Hospital “following a sudden onset of auto-immune and infectious illness.” While hospitalized, she suffered heart issues, fluid buildup in her lungs and had to have part of her colon removed. She eventually died from organ failure.
Toxicology reports later revealed that a gout drug was present in Betty Bowman’s system the day after she was hospitalized.
A search warrant filed in Olmsted County on Tuesday revealed multiple women met Connor Bowman through a dating app following his wife’s death.
One woman who met with Connor on Aug. 29, 2023, told investigators that he talked to her about the large life insurance payout he had received and used to pay off his student loan debt. Investigators in October found a receipt for a $450,000 bank deposit from a life insurance company in Connor Bowman’s home.
