Summary After three years of marriage, college sweethearts Ann and Eric Miller had a young daughter, a beautiful home, and two successful careers. She was a research scientist at a major pharmaceutical company. He was a pediatric AIDS researcher at the University of North Carolina. But on the night of November 15, 2000, Eric Miller developed a mysterious illness. That evening, Eric had gone bowling with Derril Willard, one of his wife's coworkers. An hour into the outing, Miller was admitted into the hospital with flu-like symptoms. The symptoms soon passed and the doctors sent Eric home. But two weeks later, on November 30, 2000, he was in the ER again with the same flu-like symptoms. This time tests revealed arsenic in Eric's system. On December 2, 2000, just as he appeared on the road to recovery, Eric Miller died of cardiac arrest. The autopsy said it was due to arsenic. Police quickly focused their attention on Ann. A search of the lab shared with Derril Willard turned up traces of arsenic and evidence of an affair between the two scientists. On January 21, 2001, police searched Willard's home and asked him to come in for questioning. Instead, he took his own life; but not before confessing to his lawyer that it was Ann that gave Eric Miller the fatal dose of arsenic. Willard told his attorney Ann had persuaded him to spike Miller's beer with arsenic at the bowling alley on November 15, but when Eric didn't die, she decided to lace his food. Days later, according to what Willard told his attorney, she'd injected arsenic directly into her husband's IV as he lay in his hospital room, causing the heart attack that killed him. Willard's suicide, however, complicated pressing charges against Ann until September 27, 2004, when a grand jury indicted her for first-degree murder charges. Ann, who had remarried, pled guilty a year later to second degree and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. She is serving 25-31 ½ years in a woman's correctional facility.
