From early childhood it was clear that Debora Green was incredibly intelligent. She consistently excelled at her studies, eventually completing medical school and becoming a physician. It was on this career path that she met and began dating a man named Michael Farrar. Both were smart, successful, and seemed to balance each other out personality-wise. The pair were married and started a family in the Kansas City area. Eventually, though, Debora's mental state took a turn for the worse and the pair's relationship became strained. Having enough of her unpredictable and often toxic behavior, Michael eventually decided he wanted out. And while divorces can be messy, no one could predict the price Debora would make him pay to end their marriage. In this episode, we will take a look at what happens when scientific knowledge is used for evil and how the result of a laboratory assay helped put a scorned wife behind bars.
