“Shocking Confession: Husband’s Dark Scheme to Eliminate Wife for a Chance at Her Daughter”
Lisa would be out for about 13 hours after being drugged by her husband.
“Ruf stated that he knew the substance would eventually kill his wife … and that it was [the] ultimate goal to kill her,” the court papers stated.
Alfred drugged Lisa about 12 times over the span of four months. The wife was hospitalized six times with unexplained symptoms of headaches, drowsiness, and diarrhea, and she tested positive for illicit drugs that she had no recollection of taking.
Between September and December 2021, Alfred spiked his wife’s drinks around 12 times, resulting in six hospitalizations for unexplained symptoms

Although the convicted man’s “ultimate goal” was to kill his wife, he allegedly “felt bad” about poisoning Lisa and came clean to her in January 2022.
“Once the state changed the nature of the offense, he took responsibility for what he did wrong,” John Lawrence Tompkins, Ruf’s defense attorney, told USA TODAY this week. “That’s the appropriate thing to do.”
Law enforcement officials are reportedly investigating the allegations against the daughter and her friend, but no charges have been pressed so far.
Alfred, who pleaded guilty to aggravated battery posing a risk of death, was sentenced to four years in prison on Monday, August 26.
Due to a plea deal, the charge of conspiracy to commit murder was dropped against him.
