Joannah secretly recorded a conversation with her boyfriend Dr. Gregory Konrath as he appeared to be explaining his plan to kill his ex-wife.
[From article]
Today, Konrath is behind bars serving a nearly 10-year sentence. But it’s not for attempted murder.
[. . .]
Dr. Gregory Konrath lived in Peru, Indiana, and earned as much as $1.7 million a year specializing in orthopedic trauma.
[. . .]
Joannah decided to secretly record the conversation for 23 minutes on her cell phone as Konrath appeared to explain a plan to sneak into his ex-wife’s house at night and shoot her while their children were asleep in their rooms.
“She has a million dollar life insurance policy. I’m the beneficiary,” Konrath is heard saying on the recording.
[. . .]
“All the evidence was there,” Rogers told “20/20.”
Inside the home’s garage, police found a gun and rubber gloves
[. . .]
But Embrey later dropped the charges, because the law in Indiana says the accused must make a substantial step towards committing a murder in order to be charged with attempted murder.
“You had to be in the vicinity with the means to commit the murder,” [Prosecutor Bruce] Embrey said. He explained even if a jury found Konrath guilty the judge would have to throw the case out. “We couldn’t get the case past the judge.”
[What does that say about the competence of the prosecutor?]
[. . .]
He added that he has learned one thing from this experience: "Be careful what you say in front of your girlfriend," he said.
[This indicates how arrogant some doctors can be. His regret is expressing himself to his girlfriend not the idea of killing his ex-wife. What a guy.]
"I think she truly was thinking I was serious and truly thought she was doing the right thing."
Ana Konrath declined to comment for this report. As for Joannah, she still fears for her life.

In an interview from jail, Dr. Gregory Konrath said his alleged plot to kill his ex-wife was a "fantasy."[From article]
Joannah, a nurse, mother and divorcee, said she was impressed with Konrath from the start.
“He was always a gentleman. He always came down to pick me up. Lots of times he brought flowers. He was a romantic, a gentleman, opened the door,” Joannah told “20/20.”
After four months of dating, the two moved in together. Joannah said he often spent a lot of money on her and bought her expensive things.
“I met his mom. I met his children. We went to his children’s games. We sat next to his ex-wife,” Joannah said. “[His ex-wife Ana] was nice. Greg and her got along fine. We did that regularly.”
Joannah had hoped she and Konrath would get married. She said they had looked at rings and she had purchased a wedding dress.
