Lowell Edwin Amos is a convicted murderer whose mother and three wives all died under suspicious circumstances. He was convicted in 1996 of murdering his third wife, Roberta Mowery Amos. Lowell Amos was the subject of a 2006 Lifetime Network made-for-TV movie called Black Widower. Lowell was arrested for the murder of his third wife. Due to a 1994 change in Michigan law, the prosecution was allowed to enter details of previous incidents into the trials. Prosecutors also argued that although Lowell lacked a financial motive for killing Roberta, as he had for the other three deaths, his marriage was about to end. Roberta had already bought a house of her own, and had told friends and family that she wanted Lowell out of her life.

The prosecution surmised that Lowell killed her because he could not stand rejection. They said that he first gave her a glass of wine with two crushed sedatives in it, then when she was passed out, he injected her vagina with the cocaine (dissolved in water), and then smothered her with the pillow when she began to convulse. On October 24, 1996, Lowell was convicted of premeditated murder and murder using a toxic substance (considered separate charges of first-degree murder), and on November 4, 1996, was sentenced to life imprisonment without possibility of parole.
