up next, a young man falls carolina, had two suspicious s deaths. eric miller's death was caused by a massive dose of arsenic. six weeks later, eric's friend, derril willard, committed suicide. the two had been together at the bowling alley on the night eric miller fell ill. >> derril completely out of character for him, according to everybody we talked to, buys a pitcher of beer while they're waiting for a lane to free up. but when eric took his first swallow of beer, you know, it doesn't taste quite right. >> and shortly before derril willard committed suicide, had he confessed to his wife that he had been having an fair with ann

miller, iraq an's wife. >> we don't know the whether or not he told his wife anything else about his potential involvement with arsenic or eric miller at the bowling alley. >> investigators searched willard's work computer and phone records. they also searched ann miller's. they found ample evidence of the affair. >> from the middle of october until eric's death, she's got like 500 cell phone calls to derril willard's desk, to his house, or to his cell phone. she's called him over 500 times. >> ann also sent derril e-mails. >> i want to make you feel so many things. i want to show you new things. i want to touch places in you that you didn't know existed. you'd better leave the women alone. you have me. >> ann miller and derril willard both worked together at the same

pharmaceutical company. investigators learned they spent a weekend together at the ritz carlton hotel in chicago shortly before eric's death. they registered as mr. and mrs. derril willard. but hotel employees later confirmed that the woman was ann miller. >> ann and derril ordered a lot of room service. >> just three days later when eric miller was in the hospital, investigators learned that his wife ann contacted another man with whom she was having an affair. a fellow scientist living in california. >> ann says, my husband is gravely ill. but if i could buy you a beach house and spend the night with you, i would do it in a heart beat. >> she also said in na e-mail communication that he could call

the house and they could speak by phone because their in laws wouldn't know any better and they wouldn't suspect anything. no one knows if derril knew ann miller was involved with other men, but it was clear to investigators that derril willard and ann miller both had a motive to kill eric. at the pharmaceutical company where both ann miller and derril willard were employed, police found arsenic. >> they were using cacodylic acid to clean their glass wear and at first glance you might not note what cacodylic acid is, but it actually is arsenic. >> this was the same type of arsenic found in eric miller's body, which meant the poison that killed him probably came from the lab where his wife and her lover worked. >> there were some controls with regard to arsenic and access to arsenic in the lab. those controls were not particularly tight. >> but a search of both the willard and miller homes turned up nothing. >> we had it all tested for arsenic and it all came up negative. >> although police considered

ann miller a suspect, eric's parents did not. >> eric's parents were very adamant that ann was not involved. they had accepted ann into their family. she was their daughter-in-law, and they had a good relationship with ann. >> but strangely against the wishes of eric's family, ann insisted that eric's body be cremated. >> everyone that follows any type of forensic investigation knows the's yes, sir way to get rid of evidence is by creating somebody. >> eventually ann miller quit her job, sold her home and moves three hours away to wilmington, north carolina where she refused to cooperate further with investigators. >> no comment. >> but even though eric's body was cremated, the medical examiner kept samples from his autopsy. investigators hoped something in these samples would prove a homicide.

in the search for eric miller's killer, medical detectives hoped to find some clues in tissues saved from his autopsy. scientists knew eric's death was caused by arsenic poisoning. but they needed to find out when and by whom. >> arsenic stays in your hair. obviously, your hair grows and so the poisonings that occurred

earlier are going to be on the end of your hair and the poisonings that are more recent are going to be towards the scalp. >> eric miller's hair was kept in storage after his autopsy. from the length of eric's hair, investigators would have a record of the last six months of his life. in a process called neutron activation, the hair samples were cut into five millimeter sections. each section represented about two weeks in eric miller's life. >> you can't take hair and say this person was poisoned on january 12th, but you can take hair and say this person was poisoned during this two-week period. >> each clipping was put into its own vial, placed in a

nuclear reactor, and bombarded with radiation. the resulting graph showed eric ingested a huge dose of arsenic in the two weeks before his death. in that two-week period, eric complained of severe symptoms on three separate occasions. once was at the bowling alley when eric was with derril willard. >> it's my opinion, very strong opinion, that derril willard had actually given eric a lethal dose of arsenic in that cup of beer that he served to him. >> interestingly, witnesses said derril knocked over eric's beer before he could finish it. >> i think that beer got spilled because derril willard did not want eric miller to die. i think derril willard was a good man. and i think that he got caught up in ann miller's web, if you will, and he realized what was happening and did not want to go

through with that. >> ann told investigators she was at home with her daughter on the night eric went bowling. but a check of ann's cell phone records showed something very different. >> at about 7:20, ann miller's cell phone was used in close proximity to the bowling alley based on where the tower was hit. >> in fact, cell phone records showed ann actually made a call to her home to check her voice mail. the call bounced off a cell phone tower near the bowling alley. >> so it put a little bit of a hole in ann miller being at home. >> a couple of days later, eric had dinner with his wife alone at home, and again, he got sick. >> ann prepares a meal and serves it to eric. and that night, about two, three hours later, eric has a recurrence of the same symptoms that he had the night of the

bowing alley. >> again, eric was rushed to the hospital, but this time, he was dead within 16 hours. >> we had put enough together to say in all reasonable probability, ann miller and derril willard conspired to kill eric. >> but the other shocking piece of information that came from the analysis of eric's hair was that the poisonings had been going on for months. >> the testing showed that eric miller had been poisoned multiple times, and they were able to isolate i believe three times for certain, but multiple times over the six-month period previous to his death. >> but if she wanted him dead, why take so long to do it? >> there were a lot of theories about this. one was that she was torturing him. the most obvious one that i think investigators kind of

settled on was that she wanted to create a pattern of him appearing to be sick so when he finally did die, nobody would suspect poisoning. >> but investigators had a problem. they knew what caused eric's death, and they knew when he was poisoned. but proving who was responsible would be another matter. investigators believe that to fuel economy... to quality...

woman's using you. and i think you know, it would be in your best interests to cooperate with us. and the only thing he said was, yeah, and she's doing a mighty good job of it. >> the very next day, willard committed suicide. >> i mean, you had the scientific evidence, and that was hard and fast. but you needed a witness. you needed somebody to say, ann miller did this. derril willard, he was the only witness that could give them the information that they needed to arrest her. >> so prosecutors asked the north carolina supreme court tore force derril willard's lawyer to reveal what derril told him about ann miller's involvement. >> client confidentiality is one of the most important parts of our system. >> the judge studied the case and ruled that a small portion

of what derril willard told his lawyer was admissible in court. >> in other words, the attorney can be talk about what his client told him if it involves a third party who might have committed egregious crime like murder. >> derril willard told his lawyer about a conversation he had with ann miller in a parking lot just after eric's death. >> the attorney stated that his client, derril willard, told him that ann miller went to the hospital on that first hospital stay, took a syringe, and injected somethinging into eric miller's iv which presumably was arsenic. >> he then stated that he asked mrs. miller why she had done this, and she replied, i don't know. killers all share one common bond, and that is they are arrogant. they are in denial that they're doing anything wrong. this person's in their way.

they're messing up their life and they want them out of the way. and that's it. it's very simple. >> rather than risk a jury trial, ann miller agreed to plead guilty to second degree murder and received a minimum sentence of 25 years in prison. >> it's up with of those cases where you are left with as many questions as answers. and so that can be very difficult not only for the prosecutor but certainly for the family members as you don't get the why. >> even though ann miller tried to eliminate the evidence through cremation, it only took a single strand of eric's hair tore chart months of deception and the final act of murder. >> and to think that a record of this poisoning was just kept in one single strand of hair is pretty unbelievable. pretty amazing. >> people can think they can get away with murder but the
