  • Poison
    Dec 5 2024

    On December 2, 2000, Eric Miller died in a Raleigh, NC hospital and blood tests revealed that he had been poisoned with arsenic.

Derril killed himself after being questioned by police, but before he died he had a confidential conversation with his attorney. In the spring of 2004, the North Carolina Supreme Court ruled that Derril's attorney must reveal what Derril had told him about Ann’s role in Eric’s murder. “48 Hours" correspondent Troy Roberts reports. This classic "48 Hours" episode last aired on 1/1/2011. Watch all-new episodes of “48 Hours” on Saturdays, and stream on demand on Paramount+.

Audio is Terrible

while the stories are good the audio in the pod cast is terrible. it's so low I can hardly hear it though my car speakers, I changed to ear buds hoping that would help but no go still low. this is with both my device and speakers on maximum volume. I can hear the ads great though.

Poison Pen Letters Remain Unsolvex

I was hanging on every word as this whodunit unfolded, complete with strong vocal performances and that distinctive 48 Hours music. I enjoyed the details of the story, as anonymous letters revealing all the goings-on in Circleville arrived by the hundreds to unsuspecting residents over the course of three decades. Was the wrong person convicted of the murder of the adulterous bus driver? Listen in to form your own opinion.

Far too many commercials

Worst that American idiot finally! 1-2 minutes of commercials every 5 minutes! Great stories but the commercials are far too distracting for a 30-50 minute podcast.
