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.(snip)
These are Miller’s most serious cases brought to court but not her only arrests. Miller has several arrests and convictions in the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s on charges related to thefts and bad checks, including at least one stint in state prison.
The grand jury report stemming from the Nichols homicide notes that Miller had 10 summary convictions for bad checks between 1977 and 1988 — bad checks made to Sears, Bell of Pennsylvania and PPL among others.
Miller was sentenced in 1992 under the name Myrle Plotts to serve 14 1/2-to-59 months at the Muncy prison for women for her involvement in a burglary ring in Northumberland County.(snip)
She now stands accused of killing her husband with her own prescription heart medications shortly after an investigation into the alleged abuse of his finances was authorized by Nichols himself. Attempts to seek comment from Miller on Friday at the Northumberland County jail were unsuccessful.

Mere coincidence.
The hot/crazy matrix still works.
Third time’s the charm.
Myrle the P’isoner, notorious in these parts. Winfield is near Bucknell U in Lewisburg.
Any relation to Hillary Clinton? 😀
Firing squad.
Mr. Revolting or whatever the hell his name was chose badly.
If found guilty, hang her so high that her head pops off.
Never trust someone who has tried (or succeeded) at killing before...
Way back in the 90’s, my now ex was a trucker driving for a great guy named Mike. Mike was married to Bobbie, who, he told us, had shot her first husband and killed him-claiming abuse. She was acquitted.
A few months later, my ex burst through our front door in the early morning hours afetr leaving for work, and said “Bobbie just shot and killed Mike!”
In an ironic twist, Mike’s father ended up buying our house a year later when we moved.
Kinda like Betty Lou Beets. One of the few women executed in Texas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betty_Lou_Beets
She still gets talked about around the lake 20 years later..
