A former Mayo Clinic resident accused of fatally poisoning his wife last year may have been identifying as a widower before she even died, a new warrant reveals.
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. Marys Hospital "following a sudden onset of autoimmune and infectious illness." While hospitalized, Betty 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 eventually revealed that the gout drug colchicine was present in Betty's system the day after she was hospitalized.

One woman told police that she matched with Connor on Bumble on Sept. 5, 2023, asking him if he thought it was OK to flirt with others. He allegedly responded, "Betty would have wanted him to move on to be happy."
Connor also reportedly told her that Betty had died from listeria poisoning earlier in the summer. She later confronted him when she learned it had only been two-and-a-half weeks since her death, the warrant says.
Another woman who matched 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's residence.

Data from Connor's phone revealed he searched "is widow genre neutral" two days before Betty died.He identified himself as a widower in his Bumble profile, according to one witness.
The search warrant requests Bumble disclose information regarding Connor's account access between Aug. 1 and Oct. 20, 2023, profile status changes and all communication data between July 9 and Oct. 20, 2023.
Connor's next court date is scheduled for June 11.
Is the husband/doctor going to claim that he simply euthanized her?
Just another late term abortion. Dude is a doctor
“...may have been identifying as a widower...”
That said, under current rules, if he identified as a widower, then he really was a widower, his wife still being alive notwithstanding.
Here in Jurassic park, where 1/3rd of the residents are single women, widowers are fresh meat. Women line up around the block with casseroles for a good catch. Because he posed as a widower is not proof positive he killed his wife. To me, it is more likely that the boat people, using two guns, killed Alex Murdaugh’s wife and son.
Why would Vietnamese kill them?

The boat people in this case are the family and friends of the unfortunate girl killed by pau pau in the boat accident. I was on my way to play golf at Paris Island when we saw the massive search parties looking for the poor girl. It’s hard for me to conceive that Alex used a shot gun to kill his son and picked up a black out to kill his wife. Cousin Eddy had an alibi.
I guess it’s all in the timing…
Finally a normal story. After all the crazy news these days.
This is a case for that old bag or that old dude who solve murder mysteries. Jessica Matlock.
Bumbling fool.
FTA: Data from Connor’s phone revealed he searched “is widow genre neutral”.....
^^^^^
I am guessing he meant “gender neutral.” There was a time when a doctor was a well-educated man.
Where is jurassic park you speak of?
Here in florida?
I may not be a widower, but that could change.
True.
this guy is a total moron: if he had watched Forensic Files he’d already know that colchicine had been used in a murder many years ago and the murderer was caught and convicted ...

I guess I’ll have to settle with the villages. TY
