And the Internet searches get 'em again. (I'm glad, but you'd think people would be more aware.)The two married in 2021, in Independence, Missouri, according to her obituary .
"Her kindness and intelligence was noticed and valued by friends and strangers alike," part of her obituary reads.
A woman called the examiner's office and said that Betty and her husband Connor were having marital issues and were talking about filing for divorce due to infidelity issues.
A witness told law enforcement that Betty Bowman said she had been drinking with Connor on Aug. 15 and she was feeling sick the next morning. She told her friend that she believed the drink, a large smoothie, had caused the illness.
A detective found that Connor Bowman had looked at his wife's medical information while she was in the hospital.
A laptop from the University of Kansas that was owned by Connor Bowman was searched by the university, which found internet searches for colchicine, a drug used to treat gout. There were also several internet searches related to hiding information from police on the laptop, as well as a search for where to obtain sodium nitrate, a drug used to restrict oxygen in the bloodstream.

At least two women communicated with Dr. Bowman, via the dating app Bumble, on Aug. 29 and Sept. 5 of last year — within days of Betty Bowman's passing — the search warrant affidavit said.
In the first chat, the woman said she "thought it was strange" that Bowman "brought up the large life insurance payout he received, using it to pay off student loan debt," according to Kendrick.
In the Sept. 5 communication, the suspect allegedly said his late wife would have wanted him back out on the dating circuit.
"She later asked when Betty died, and Connor replied that Betty died earlier in the summer, and that she confronted him later when she learned it had only been 2 and a half weeks since Betty’s death," the affidavit said.
"Sarah advised that another red flag for her in this situation was that Connor had not shown any grief after Betty’s death," the friend told police. "Connor even invited her and some other friends out for drinks ... two days after Betty’s death and appeared to be happy or at least indifferent to Betty’s death."
Betty Bowman succumbed to colchicine toxicity, and a medical examiner ruled her death a homicide. The suspect had previously worked in a "poison control center for an extended period of time prior to his residency," according to the search warrant affidavit.

Again Colchicine. This isn't the first time I've heard of it being used to kill someone. I followed a case and the two trials having to do with a Chiropractor in NYS poisoned to death by her office mgr. with the gout drug Colchicine. Now, in that case, defendant is trying to overturn her conviction. Poisoning someone is so cruel knowing they will suffer. The Chiropractor died horribly suffering from terrible sickness from the poisoning, liver failure, but also from heart failures, being revived then having another heart failure over and over, and sadly they could not save her.

Sildenafil is generic Viagra. What does an otherwise healthy 30-year-old man need Viagra for, anyway?
It can be used recreationally. And there are patients under 30 with ED.
Why Viagra use has grown in men under 30!
Use of Viagra in America is increasing among younger age groups as many seek help for mild ED and 'performance anxiety'. Online pharmacies have allowed for easy access to the drug.

Me too. Sick and angry. Only married a couple of years. She had a career of her own. He consciously decided to take this beautiful woman's life. He cruelly, knowing how much she would probably suffered, chose that route. He knew all about the effects and yet he poisoned her making her suffer four days of agony before she died. Why is that only 2nd degree Murder? Oh good, that's changed or going to change to 1st degree Murder charges.
