hovering in the background was betty’s $500,000 insurance policy.
last august, betty was admitted to a rochester hospital suffering from what her hubby allegedly told doctors was apparent food poisoning.
cops believe that like the grinch, connor bowman thought up a lie and he thought it up quick.
when betty was admitted, her doctor hubby allegedly said she was suffering from cardiac issues and organ failure. connor claimed his beloved wife had a rare medical condition called hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis that caused her white blood cells to build up and damage organs.
four days later – on aug. 20, 2023 – she died in hospital.
the problem was, detectives learned, betty had never been diagnosed with any of the symptoms and didn’t show any. until her final few days of life, she had allegedly been healthy as a horse.

connor bowman allegedly wanted his dear departed wife cremated el pronto, given that her cause of death was, uh, natural. and no autopsy is necessary, thanks.
a day after she died, the southeast minnesota medical examiner’s office told the rochester police department about the suspicious death and the quick cremation was torpedoed.
oddly, the young doctor also allegedly asked detectives if tox reports done by the cops were more thorough than the hospitals. of course, bowman should have known this: he was a poison control specialist.
