A good man? Not good enough! He “realized what was happening.” He knew what was happening when he placed arsenic in his friend’s beer, served it to him, and watched him drink it; beer he purchased for that specific purpose. He had some last minute remorse or fear of going down for murder. We’ll never really know. Either way, never has the phrase “too little, too late,” been more appropriate. If he was a good man, he would’ve confessed to what he’d done in his suicide note, rather than continuing to protest his innocence. Nowhere near good enough. Oh yeah, and this “good man” was plotting his friend’s murder, so he could be with his wife, whom he was already sleeping with!!!
Exactly and friends don't sleep with their friends spouse in the first place. They said he felt bad after he saw what was happening at the bowling alley, but he didn't feel bad enough to say I'm sorry but this is what happened before Eric died and he could've saved Eric's life. He loved her so much and didn't want to see her go to jail and he didn't wanna go to jail for the role he played in all of this so he committed suicide. This is so very sad because she didn't love either one of them. This is very sad 😥
Kudos to the analyst who thought to save samples of hair even though they didn’t know yet that it was Arsenic poisoning. Without it the investigation would have hit a dead end when the body was cremated.
they diagnose arsenic poisonning while he's still alive in the hospital, so I don't understand how anyone is allowed to cremate the body. Normally you need a medical permit that would not be delivered in case of a non natural death.
I feel bad for the widow. To find out her husband was cheating with a coworker, poisoning this man then committed suicide. Damn, that’s a load of bricks that fell on her.
I can't imagine how a person can not notice that the relationship with a partner has deteriorated - withered, cooled, become insincere. I can understand how a person pretends that the relationship is fine when they are not getting what they started and are for, but instead only frustration and stress. So I suppose it was no surprise to the widow to discover these things. She had to experience that it became known to all her relatives, friends, and neighbors.
Anyone who lies to their spouse, cheats with their friend's wife, and then poisons that friend is not what i would call "good" , def they are responsible for their actions.

Lol right? Some of the worst people I know are bible thumping assholes. And some of the best people I know are atheists.. So in my opinion, saying someone is a "devout Christian" is a complete bullshit arbitrary statement
That man was neither good nor a victim. They were both willing participants in the affair and poisoning. Him choosing to unalive himself because of guilt or fear of consequences doesn’t negate that.
Being a mom to a toddler, how does she even have time or the energy for all of these affairs? She’s so evil and vile just looking at her makes my skin crawl.
Bruh same thoughts. I have an 11 year old, a 2 year old, and am pregnant. I'll be 35 when I give birth this last time, and I WORK at a grocery store and barely have time to shop for groceries lol. I take about 10 minutes in my car after work every day to decompress before I head home. That way I'm cheerful and happy and ready to make dinner, give baths, read stories, do the dishes, fold laundry (that never gets put away) and I feel like I'm in autopilot. I make time for intimacy with the hubby, one on one time with both kids (literally not enough but they're eating healthy food made with love) and I shower like 4 times a week. I haven't painted my toenails in months, I cut my own hair to save money, and I barely have "me" time and I'm so happy I could burst. I love my family, my husband works 2 jobs, and we ALWAYS find time to be around each other and goof off and make jokes and play with the kids. If she spent HALF her time with her family she wouldn't feel the need to get her rocks off with 2 (probably more) extra partners. Disgraceful
When i saw my husband vomiting nonstop due to undiagnosed kidney stones, i was crying like hell and called ambulance right away. Seeing my husband in such pain tormented me. I just can't stand see him in pain. How could this woman poison her husband, the man she's married??? It's too painful to watch ☹️
@@bowitboy6635 there really should be stricter laws on preventing that from happening but the US justice system has so many issues. in general, all violent offenders especially murderers should have a higher minimum sentence & it should be harder to get parole. it’s so stupid that she & other women on this show get the minimum - it doesn’t matter if they’re male or female, they’re all murderers and should be punished based on that alone. unfortunately it’s unlikely that’ll ever happen

Now 52, Ann Miller Kontz is serving out her sentence at the Neuse Correctional Institution in Goldsboro, according to the North Carolina Department Of Corrections. Her earliest projected release date is in September of 2029.
@robertstout6980 Thank you for the update. It is appreciated. I hope Ann Miller’s release in 2029 is REVOKED so she can continue in prison where she belongs for the rest of her life. If one person deserves it, it is Ann Miller.
_"There is nothing I wouldn't do for you."_ Or to you. Probably the most disturbing footnote to any case I've seen. Love letters to the person you're planning to kill, all as a smokescreen for plausible deniability later on. I've seen this play out in scenarios that didn't escalate to anything like murder, but it's still depraved as hell.
Life sentences are usually 25 years. They have to go before the parole board to determine if they should be released after those 25 years. Many people who get sentenced to "life" will end up eventually getting out of prison, but it is up to the discretion of parole
@@rocioaguilera3555 that's true but they would have to have all of his ashes and since some crematoriums have been know to , let's say, not be so particularly careful a defense could use that to their advantage. Also if you get the correct ashes they might not all be there and then the results might not be correct. The chain of custody would be compromised. What do you think ?
Holding off on cremating would've done what? At autopsies they do tissue samples and can do a hair sample to tell how long he's been getting poisoned. No need to hold off cremation.
Did it ever occur to you that maybe Forensic Files, a 20-minute TV show designed to entice and titillate an audience, may be condensing events, taking things out of context, and otherwise not paying that close of attention to timeline? Do people like you EVER let up on law enforcement? Do you have any idea how hard these people work, how many hours, the level of commitment? You are 100% wrong on the facts here. Shame on you
@@amelieholbrook3001 You must have a weird blue stripe on your flag. Nobody talked any smack against law enforcement up here. Somebody was just asking about an autopsy procedure 🤷♂️
How can you fall for that, It’s clear his family didn’t want to put his real picture for all the world to see, to avoid harassment. They change the name sometimes as well, that’s why I don’t believe his real name is Dan Willard.
That poem Ann Miller wrote reminds me a lot of the way Jeffrey MacDonald spoke about his wife and daughters. Narcissistic sociopaths don't know how to love anyone because other people aren't real to them.
Young man falls in & nobody knows why. All of us forensic files fans it’s arsenic poising & it’s his wife. All with in the first 15 seconds of a new episode
His wife didn't care nothing about him but she didn't have to kill him I always say you don't want that person don't deal with him. Also you are breaking some one heart
Victim? Good man? Really? Sure, he was better than Anne in that he chickened out when it came to murdering his "friend", but he still almost did it and regardless of how manipulated you are you still have a choice......
yeah sure, but it's still the safest bet. It's a for-sure sentence, instead of a trial by jury, which could possibly side with her, even with all the evidence. It only takes one juror to throw the whole trial, and than re-trial, etc.
There was 0 proof of her involvement in the poisonning, hearsay from a lawyer doesn't constitute a proof. Plus she looked innocent AF. You bet a trial by jury would have been real risky for the prosecution.
It is possible Darrel spilled the rest of the beer not because he felt bad...but because he didn't want his "friend" Eric to die right away while in his presence. He just wanted to give enough of a dose to kill him in the following days while he was away from it. Kind of trying to distance himself from the event a little...making it more difficult to pin him.
Exactly. Eric threw up once , so he must have thought it would be sus if he passed out right away aft high dose. Sure mall/ cops would suspect the glass of beer.
What a cruel, unfeeling woman this murderer/wife was, poisoning him over a period of six months. She was a real narcissist and psychpath. I am amazed that she was only given 25 years in prison.
I’m sorry, but $100K is still a lot of money. I wouldn’t say it was the primary motivation per se, but a hundred Gs is nothing to sniff at! Many people have been murdered for $100K in life insurance proceeds. I could provide a pretty long list. I’ve seen cases where someone was murdered for as little as $40K.
The suffering of this poor young man, difficult to fathom. Gosh, he must have had so much pain. And why? What did he do to Ann Miller Kontz to cause such hatred? He's the father of her daughter, if she detested him so much, why didn't she get a divorce? Only one conclusion: Ann Miller Kontz is a sociopath. She WILL kill again, period, even if she's not caught. That is what sociopaths do, they hurt others without caring who suffers. Ann Miller Kontz should be locked up for eternity, she is evil.
“Good man” bruh cheated with his best friends wife. Let alone cheated on his wife. And poisoned his best friend… and denied any involvement of the death in his suicide note.
Is this how things work ? Didn't know a man would care much about the reason why a lady is single (be it by widowing or divorce) as long as she is pleasant to be around.
@@aurorefrench7592 Yes actually, some men may think of them as vulnerable and try to take advantage of it. A divorcee may have a man cautious as to why she divorced her husband.
It's sad how his own parents and family took his wife's side and not his after all of the suspicions and clues. Usually it's the other way around, the family suspects something and the cops refuse to act on it. His family disgust me. You can't be that naive.
My wife watches this 18 hrs a day. I thought it was boring and old people show.. till I took the time to watch few episodes. 2 things happened 1. I’m hooked watching episodes 2. Is my wife learning how to commit the “perfect crime” by learning not to leave any evidence behind?
1. Welcome to the club mate. 2. You better outwatch her to learn how to get better at not giving her any motive to do it 😂. Jokes apart I think anyone watching enough episodes will be humbled by such forensic science and would rather focus on solving the cold cases. Especially some from FF. it's cool to have partner who enjoys watching FF.
The lady author chiming in is a complete idiot. She blames the wife for manipulating her husband's friend to kill him. Well let's say she is 100% correct. Is that any kind of a reason to hold him less accountable? I'm concerned that anyone would think this way.
“He became so ill that in fact he brought the trash cane lane from the bathroom over to the lane they were bowling at” uhm lol… I bet the other visitors loved that.. why wouldn’t you just go home 😂
Simple, because in actual fact arsenic is not tasteless. Arsenic has a mild salt like bitterness that is unique t arsenic and easily identifiable to anyone paying attention. Forensic files doesn't know what it's talking about, just like how it constantly presents pseudoscience, speculation or coincidence as science.
This is one of those episodes that discourages marriage. Man has a good job and life then she came into the picture and before long he was dead. What kind of a monster would take away the other parent of their own child? Ann was certainly that, a narcissist monster. The medical examiners who saved those samples are the heroes here. This also happened in another episode that also helped solve the case. ( "Political Thriller" which was the Kathy Augustine case)
How can that woman say that " he wasn't making the choices" the "woman was driving the train, and he was just a passenger" that's the excuse defense attorneys use when they get women off murder charge's. But the reality is he made that choice simply because he put poison in his beer. She wasn't there, even if she did tell him to do it. He had two CHOICES, either poison his beer or don't poison his beer. Hate to state the obvious, but the woman who made that comment, doesn't seem to understand. But he made the choice to poison the beer. To come up with comments like that maybe you should not be in the job your in. Because that is a very ignorant comment. See you made the choice to do the job you do, but I don't think you made the right choice, just like he didn't make the right choice to poison someones beer. But he did, no ifs or but's 😒👈
This case is an eye opener! It teaches you to be very careful of those that portrait to be goody, goody n don't break a single plate because their the ones that could really break the entire cabinetry of plates n then some. Those people called almost "saints" are the ones we all have to watch out for cuz they're the ones that can do the most evil n vile thing to others n they're very good manipulators. Poor man...a good husband n he had to die in the most painful most horrible way by this evil disgusting lady. She was the one that manipulated the husband's friend into putting the arsenic in his beer that night n also the one that kept on going giving the arsenic to her husband cuz that "friend" could not face the guilt n killed himself. Pure evil crap that people do to eachother.smfh! They don't realize like the rest, that all that evil doing will come back to hit them in the face n their punishment will be more severe n painful than ever done to others. My deepest condolences to the family n may he rest in peace 🕊️🕊️
It REALLY pisses me off that Daryl was such a nice guy and was conveyed as another victim when he was responsible for poisoning his "friend", which contributed to his MURDER! He wasn't a friend, good person nor a victim; he's a MURDERER and a COWARD! 💯💯🙄🤦♀️🤬🤬
Crazy to think how many cases go unsolved because the defense lawyer can't speak up. The defense lawyer just sits back and laughs like oh they're close... Nope they're cold.. wtf is this life?
Why is it that every time I watch one of these episodes where the killer is a woman she gets like 20-25 years but when the killer is a male he gets life in prison or the death sentence?
It's a plea bargain, no one pleas to get life in prison (except when the crime warrants a death penalty and there's tons of evidences) let alone a death sentence. This case was very weak, she could have gotten away with it had she chosen a trial.
Daryl didn’t want to experience the consequences of people knowing he committed two sins, adultery and premeditated murder, so he committed a third sin. Sounds like a good guy doesn’t he? 🙄😂 Daryl was a coward.
Derrill is a victim too? Are you out of your freaking mind!!? The guy who was fucking his friend’s wife, and who planned and executed a plot to murder his friend in order to be with his wife? He also continued to deny his involvement in his suicide note! Just because he had second thoughts at the last minute, when the damage had already been done? Utter absurdity.
A good man? Not good enough! He “realized what was happening.” He knew what was happening when he placed arsenic in his friend’s beer, served it to him, and watched him drink it; beer he purchased for that specific purpose.

He just wanted to give enough of a dose to kill him in the following days while he was away from it. Kind of trying to distance himself from the event a little...making it more difficult to pin him.
i thought of it too.
Exactly. Eric threw up once , so he must have thought it would be sus if he passed out right away aft high dose. Sure mall/ cops would suspect the glass of beer.
What a cruel, unfeeling woman this murderer/wife was, poisoning him over a period of six months. She was a real narcissist and psychpath. I am amazed that she was only given 25 years in prison.
Once I heard he get very ill after the meal, I'm pretty sure it's arsenic, or anti-freeze...
This woman was very, very evil! And so was Eric's friend.
"Neutron Activation" sounds like something from Jimmy Neutron 😂😂
You think you have a wife and a friend instead you have 2 people trying to take you out.sick sick people.
I’m sorry, but $100K is still a lot of money. I wouldn’t say it was the primary motivation per se, but a hundred Gs is nothing to sniff at! Many people have been murdered for $100K in life insurance proceeds. I could provide a pretty long list. I’ve seen cases where someone was murdered for as little as $40K.
I thought the same thing. I guess they figured she was making enough money for that not to be a lot in comparison? But still a lot of money.
That Ann is a little hussy.
The resemblance between the husband actors and the actual husbands is uncanny.
The suffering of this poor young man, difficult to fathom. Gosh, he must have had so much pain. And why? What did he do to Ann Miller Kontz to cause such hatred? He's the father of her daughter, if she detested him so much, why didn't she get a divorce? Only one conclusion: Ann Miller Kontz is a sociopath. She WILL kill again, period, even if she's not caught. That is what sociopaths do, they hurt others without caring who suffers. Ann Miller Kontz should be locked up for eternity, she is evil.
Scientists?, yet she didn’t know how arsenic poisoning could be traced. 🤷♀️
i thought the same- however i think she was so arrogant she didn't think anyone would check.
I think she thought that by cremating him she had to store the evidence. she must not have realized how many tissue samples were being kept.
Better not call Miller things like selfish and stupid, when she gets out she might poison us all
@@thorawilson1466 speak for yourself
No she didn't. Because most narcissists think they are smarter than others around them and nothing can go wrong in their evil plan.
So her daughter has no dad and no mom! Unbelievable!
“Good man” bruh cheated with his best friends wife. Let alone cheated on his wife. And poisoned his best friend… and denied any involvement of the death in his suicide note.
She thought by being a widow, she will attract more attention and sympathy from other men than being a divorcee.
Is this how things work ? Didn't know a man would care much about the reason why a lady is single (be it by widowing or divorce) as long as she is pleasant to be around.
@@aurorefrench7592 yes men do care about the reason
@@aurorefrench7592 Yes actually, some men may think of them as vulnerable and try to take advantage of it. A divorcee may have a man cautious as to why she divorced her husband.
People take “til death do us part” to a whole nutha level. Divorce people. No one dies and no one gets imprisonment. It’s definitely the better deal.
Exactly. If she no longer loved him, that’s fine. All she had to do was divorce him. And none of them would be where they are now.
It's sad how his own parents and family took his wife's side and not his after all of the suspicions and clues.
Usually it's the other way around, the family suspects something and the cops refuse to act on it. His family disgust me. You can't be that naive.
They mentioned at the beginning that arsenic is odorless and tasteless. So how would it taste bitter.
Food poisoning takes a few hours to set in.
This is a sad story and just plain evil.
How come when a man kills his wife he gets life but when a wife kills her husband she gets 20-25 years.This is a miscarriage of justice.
My wife watches this 18 hrs a day. I thought it was boring and old people show.. till I took the time to watch few episodes. 2 things happened
1. I’m hooked watching episodes
2. Is my wife learning how to commit the “perfect crime” by learning not to leave any evidence behind?
1. Welcome to the club mate.
2. You better outwatch her to learn how to get better at not giving her any motive to do it 😂.
Jokes apart I think anyone watching enough episodes will be humbled by such forensic science and would rather focus on solving the cold cases. Especially some from FF.
it's cool to have partner who enjoys watching FF.
The lady author chiming in is a complete idiot. She blames the wife for manipulating her husband's friend to kill him. Well let's say she is 100% correct. Is that any kind of a reason to hold him less accountable? I'm concerned that anyone would think this way.
why are you concerned? as if they wouldn't have tried him if he was alive and even given him more time than she got?
@@craigime critical thinking would focus on my point about the lady, not the man she made her foolish comment about.
“He became so ill that in fact he brought the trash cane lane from the bathroom over to the lane they were bowling at” uhm lol… I bet the other visitors loved that.. why wouldn’t you just go home 😂
Poor Eric!
Did she kill the only witness that could testify against her? Rhonda
Absolutely unassailable, 25 years for 2nd degree murder
Guy says arsenic is oderless and tasteless and then the victim says the beer tastes bitter??
Maybe the beer somehow reacted with it? Or he could detect that has beer just didn't taste normal like it usually did?
Bitter beer face is no joke.
poison can damage the palate. might taste funny then
Water is said to be tasteless. But if you add something like crystal light to it , then it'll taste different. So yea kinda like that.
So if arsenic is odorless and tasteless, and dissolves easily... How could Eric taste it in his beer?
@@DorkVader26 yeah, I thought something like that too. But they didn't mention it, just thought it was strange.
@@lizette87 this show has to walk a fine line between educating the public and giving other killers ideas
@@DorkVader26 false
Simple, because in actual fact arsenic is not tasteless. Arsenic has a mild salt like bitterness that is unique t arsenic and easily identifiable to anyone paying attention.
Forensic files doesn't know what it's talking about, just like how it constantly presents pseudoscience, speculation or coincidence as science.
@@tjmarx lmao
This is one of those episodes that discourages marriage. Man has a good job and life then she came into the picture and before long he was dead.
What kind of a monster would take away the other parent of their own child? Ann was certainly that, a narcissist monster.
The medical examiners who saved those samples are the heroes here. This also happened in another episode that also helped solve the case. ( "Political Thriller" which was the Kathy Augustine case)
It never seems to occur to these people that if their lover is willing to kill someone they supposedly once loved, that it might happen to them next.
I will never understand why they just don't divorce!🤯
Eric and Ann were college sweethearts from Purdue University. The poor guy!
More like Purdon't.
😂😂😂
Didn't want the stigma of being a divorced woman.
Now she has the stigma of being a convicted murderer.
GOOD JOB, ANN!!!!!
Task failed successfully
How could this evil witch be sentenced to just 25 years. What justice?????
"felt bad for killing a guy" is a pretty low bar to qualify as a good man
4:27 This dispatcher is really hard of hearing or has a mania of repeating everything.
I love this show, it's sad but good
If I ever call 911 and the operator repeats everything I say, I'm gonna lose my shit 😄
lol
They have to repeat everything in order to make sure that they've gotten it right.
I'm only 1:24 in, and I can tell you he's being poisoned by arsenic...Probably the wife's doing.
They make it pretty obvious! LOL
Sometimes I wish they would try to misdirect us more 😂
So is this psycho out of prison? I pity the man who gets involved with her.
DNA testing in a nuclear reactor. Unreal.
Willard was not a victim.. he helped poison Eric.
How can that woman say that " he wasn't making the choices" the "woman was driving the train, and he was just a passenger" that's the excuse defense attorneys use when they get women off murder charge's. But the reality is he made that choice simply because he put poison in his beer. She wasn't there, even if she did tell him to do it. He had two CHOICES, either poison his beer or don't poison his beer. Hate to state the obvious, but the woman who made that comment, doesn't seem to understand. But he made the choice to poison the beer. To come up with comments like that maybe you should not be in the job your in. Because that is a very ignorant comment. See you made the choice to do the job you do, but I don't think you made the right choice, just like he didn't make the right choice to poison someones beer. But he did, no ifs or but's 😒👈
Actually phone records suggest she WAS there
I like the way that detective talks.
This case is an eye opener! It teaches you to be very careful of those that portrait to be goody, goody n don't break a single plate because their the ones that could really break the entire cabinetry of plates n then some. Those people called almost "saints" are the ones we all have to watch out for cuz they're the ones that can do the most evil n vile thing to others n they're very good manipulators. Poor man...a good husband n he had to die in the most painful most horrible way by this evil disgusting lady. She was the one that manipulated the husband's friend into putting the arsenic in his beer that night n also the one that kept on going giving the arsenic to her husband cuz that "friend" could not face the guilt n killed himself. Pure evil crap that people do to eachother.smfh! They don't realize like the rest, that all that evil doing will come back to hit them in the face n their punishment will be more severe n painful than ever done to others. My deepest condolences to the family n may he rest in peace 🕊️🕊️
What does 'smfh' mean?
the reason why he spilled was because he was buying some time, he didn't want him to die instantly
Or he might have had second thoughts and decided he didn't want to commit murder ... even for HER.
💯.
But alternative can be true as well.
Such a evil way to kill someone. Absolutely no compassion and heartless
It REALLY pisses me off that Daryl was such a nice guy and was conveyed as another victim when he was responsible for poisoning his "friend", which contributed to his MURDER! He wasn't a friend, good person nor a victim; he's a MURDERER and a COWARD! 💯💯🙄🤦♀️🤬🤬
Crazy to think how many cases go unsolved because the defense lawyer can't speak up.
The defense lawyer just sits back and laughs like oh they're close... Nope they're cold.. wtf is this life?
Smh..wickedness
Why is it that every time I watch one of these episodes where the killer is a woman she gets like 20-25 years but when the killer is a male he gets life in prison or the death sentence?
It's a plea bargain, no one pleas to get life in prison (except when the crime warrants a death penalty and there's tons of evidences) let alone a death sentence. This case was very weak, she could have gotten away with it had she chosen a trial.
Double standards as always
@@stfuplsok no lol, it was a plea deal, they didn’t have enough evidence on her
The sentence was minimum 25 years, so 25+ years, and it was a plea deal because they didn’t have enough evidence on her
Yeah fascinating how evolutionary biology has embedded in us this bias psyche based on our estrogen/testerstrone difference
They lived The American Nightmare how else are they going to be on Forensic Files
What happened to their daughter?? She now has zero parents and a super traumatic start to life….
That Poor guy that wife was horrible
12:14 a good man? are you f***** kidding me?
Daryl willard a good man? Oh, he just served a little arsenic at a bowling alley. Ho hum.
SHE SHOULD OF GOT MORE TIME YOU KNOW LIFE IN PRISON
I like the detective's voice! Anne Miller was (is) phyco, for sure.
*psycho
This was premeditated murder. How did she get a 2nd degree murder sentence ?
She is truly heartless
Daryl didn’t want to experience the consequences of people knowing he committed two sins, adultery and premeditated murder, so he committed a third sin.
Sounds like a good guy doesn’t he? 🙄😂 Daryl was a coward.
Arsenic.. used in pesticides, herbicides, insecticides and apparently Homicides smh
Derrill is a victim too? Are you out of your freaking mind!!? The guy who was fucking his friend’s wife, and who planned and executed a plot to murder his friend in order to be with his wife? He also continued to deny his involvement in his suicide note! Just because he had second thoughts at the last minute, when the damage had already been done? Utter absurdity.
