MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) — Mica Miller’s sister in November called 911 after receiving threatening texts from Mica’s estranged husband John-Paul Miller, according to the phone call obtained by NewsNation.

The call was made by Mica’s sister when Mica was staying with her. She made the call after receiving threatening texts from John-Paul, quoting him in it as saying “you better drive down the road now or there is going to be hell to pay.”

Timeline: What’s happened so far in the death of Myrtle Beach woman Mica Miller

Mica, 30, was found dead April 27 at Lumber River State Park in Robeson County. Authorities ruled her death a suicide last week.

In the call, Mica’s sister told the dispatcher that John-Paul was threatening suicide and that he texted “blood is going to be on your hands.” The sister asked for a police officer to check the roads to ensure John-Paul did not show up.

“Call the cops, I don’t care,” John-Paul allegedly told Mica’s sister. “I’m armed and ready.”

According to Horry County and Myrtle Beach police records, Mica reported four instances of GPS trackers being placed on vehicles she was driving.

Horry County police investigated the first incident on March 11 after Miller filed two complaints. She said a tire on her vehicle was slashed while she was at the Springmaid Pier. Mechanics at East Coast Honda on Highway 17 Bypass found the tracking device while repairing the tire.

John-Paul admitted in text messages with NewsNation’s Rich McHugh to putting the GPS trackers on her vehicles. He also apologized for the damage he caused her vehicles.

John-Paul, who was released from his ministerial duties at Solid Rock Church in the Market Common on May 5, also admitted in an email exclusively obtained by NewsNation to posting a topless photo of Mica online.

“I’m sorry for putting a picture of you on the internet,” the email reads. “It was for less than one hour and immediately taken down. I was hurt that you are telling everyone horrible intimate details of my past sin, and I just wanted to try and hurt you. Please forgive me. It was evil of me to do that.”

In an April 8 report Mica filed with Myrtle Beach police about the incident, she told officers that John-Paul posted the photo she had sent him six months earlier on Facebook and tagged her old Facebook account, which he had access to. Officers told her there was no way to prove who actually posted the photo.
