National media reports on Mica Miller’s death. How her death continues to spark theories
In late April, Mica Miller, wife of Solid Rock Church pastor John-Paul Miller, died in a North Carolina state park, sparking a flurry of theories by online sleuths regarding her marriage with the pastor and what could have led to her death.
The case, which is being investigated by the FBI and Robeson County Sheriff’s Department, has been covered by national media and continues to gain attention nearly a month after the Myrtle Beach woman’s death on April 27, 2024.
It was determined by North Carolina officials that Mica Miller committed suicide. She can be seen purchasing a gun at a Myrtle Beach pawn shop and later in the day, called 911 and asked if the operator could find her location because she was going to kill herself.
Before Mica Miller’s death, she had filed for separation from John-Paul Miller and had made several Facebook posts alluding to her being abused by her husband. John-Paul Miller denied abusing his wife in an interview on May 3, 2024. Police reports showed that someone, who is believed to be John-Paul Miller, slashed her tires and placed a GPS tracker on her vehicle.
