Winfield woman arrested for homicide, accused for second time of poisoning a husband

May 29—Myrle Miller's arrest Thursday in the poisoning of her husband marks the second time she's been brought before a judge on such accusations, only this time it resulted in a homicide charge.

Following a grand jury investigation, state police charged Miller, 76, of Winfield, with first-degree homicide and related counts in the 2018 death of 77-year-old John W. Nichols. She's charged in Union County and is being held without bail in Northumberland County jail.

Then known as Myrle Rovenolt, she was acquitted in July 1988 of attempted homicide by a Montour County jury. Police alleged that she poisoned drinks with ant killer in 1986 and served them to her former husband, her first, Ronald Rovenolt.

From the above link:

Miller is the grandmother of Corey Edkin, a 2-year-old boy who went missing from his Union County home in 1986 and hasn't been seen since. Edkin was the son of her daughter, Debbie Mowery, the former girlfriend of Charles Burgess III of Sunbury who suspiciously died in a New Jersey motel in 1999 and is the subject of a cold case homicide.


Miller and Plotts moved in 2002 to 391 Lamey Road in Millmont, just 300 feet from Nichols and his then-girlfriend, Joan Madden. One house separated the Plotts and the Nichols homes, Google Maps shows.

The grand jury report states that the couples became friends within a few years. Plotts died of cancer in December 2011. That same month, Madden also died unexpectedly.

Hhhhm, attempted murder of first husband, missing grandchild, suspicious death of daughter's significant other, unexpected death of future husband's live-in...am I the only one over-connecting dots here?

Do we have threads for any of these other cases?

Oh should all this be in the same thread. I should have done a search for the names mentioned before I created this thread.

I did a search for Myrle Miller before I created the thread and it came up with nothing.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

I couldn't find threads for any of the other people mentioned.

 

[Filly]

Wow! Just whoa there. Especially about the grandson and the phone call.

JMO this is huge about this woman.

 

[Filly]

Sorry serial post. This lady has more names and addresses than Carter's Got Pills.

Thanks @TootsieFootsie for bringing this forward. Heck, this lady either got a black cloud over her or she IS Pennsylvanians Black Widow.

What is behind it all? How do ya pull it off? How much is she involved in?

No offense to anyone named Myrle. I like that name, but like GG Allin's brother Merle it made me think of shifty and shady.

merle from walking dead too

merle from walking dead too

Oh exactly! O/T but when young expecting parents ask for a boys name? I emphatically say "Merle". So I'm horrible.

Which leads to this lady Myrle. How does one do this? Devastating for the families of her victims. Still how do you find these men, and get them to marry you? Plan ahead? How do you keep your **** straight?

Must be her moral compass. I certainly wouldn't tangle with her.

 

[SuziQ]

Yep. Definitely following this one.

Please, no offense to anyone, but if this lady had been your neighbor -- you might not be chatting with us here....
