Debora Green (née Jones, 1951) is an American physician who denied a no-show bid to start a 1995 fire that burned down her family's house and killed two of her children, as well as poisoning her husband with ricin with the intention of causing her death.

The investigation was unprecedented and widely covered by news outlets, especially in the Kansas-Missouri area, where the crimes took place.

Though Green has applied for a new trial twice in recent years, her attempts haven't been successful. Green married Michael Farrar in 1979 while working as an emergency physician.

The marriage was tumultuous, and Farrar filed for divorce in 1995.

Farrar became ill in August and September 1995, and his doctors were unable to determine the source of his illness despite numerous hospitalizations.

Green's emotional stability deteriorated and she began to drink heavily while supervising her children.

The Farrar family's house, which had been occupied by Green and the couple's three children, caught fire on October 24, 1995.

Kate Farrar and Debora Green lived without injury, but firefighters Timothy and Kelly Farrar died in the fire despite the efforts of firefighters, Timothy and Kelly Farrar.

According to an investigation, traces of accelerant in the house lead back to Green's bedroom and that the source of Michael Farrar's chronic illness had been ricin, a poison given to him in his food by Green. Green was charged with two charges of first-degree murder, two counts of attempted first-degree murder, and one count of aggravated arson on her arrest on November 22, 1995.

She was convicted on $3,000,000 bail—the most ever requested by Johnson County, Kansas—and she remained her innocence throughout pre-trial hearings and a show cause hearing.

However, when the defense's own investigators established the validity of the forensic evidence against Green, she dropped the plea to all charges.

She was sentenced to two consecutive forty-year jail sentences on May 30, 1996.

Green has applied for a fresh trial twice since being convicted.

Her first request, which she eventually dismissed, was based on a suspicion of having been rendered ineffective for plea bargaining by the psychiatric medications she was taking at the time of her hearings; her second, which was denied by a judge, was based on the fact that had been rendered irrelevant by scientific advancements.

Early life and medical training

Green was Joan and Bob Jones' second daughter, both of Havana, Illinois. She demonstrated early academic promise early in life, and is said to have taught herself to read and write before she was three years old. Green was involved in a variety of school activities at the two high schools she attended, including being a National Merit Scholar and co-valedictorian of her high school class. Many who knew her at the time called her "fully connected] right in" and someone who was "going to be prosperous."

Green obtained a chemistry degree at the University of Illinois in the fall of 1969, where she earned a major in chemistry. Despite planning to pursue chemical engineering as a career, she opted to attend medical school after graduating in 1972, feeling that the job was flooded with engineers. She attended the University of Kansas School of Medicine from 1972 to 1975, and then retired in 1975. Since graduating from medical school, Green selected emergency medicine as her first specialization and began a residency in the Truman Medical Center Emergency Room.

She dated Duane M. J. during her undergraduate and medical school days. Green, an engineer. While she was studying at the University of Kansas, the couple married while still attending classes. Debora finished her work in Independence, Missouri, but by 1978, the two were divorced and then divorced. Debora cited basic incompatibility as the reason for the divorce; "W]e had absolutely no common interests," she later reported — but the divorce was friendly.

Debora discovered Michael Farrar, a student in his twenties finishing his last year of medical school, during the period when the Greens were separated. Farrar was struck by Green's intelligence and vitality, though he was embarrassed by her tendency to expressly lose her temper at minor little things. Green, on the other hand, believed that Farrar was a stable, reliable presence. On May 26, 1979, the couple were married. The couple then moved to Ohio when Farrar was accepted for an internal medicine residency at the University of Cincinnati. Green started practicing as an emergency physician at Jewish Hospital, but later became dissatisfied and changed specialties. She began a second residency in internal medicine, joining Farrar's curriculum.
