Summary

Mica Miller’s life ended tragically in April 2024 when her body was discovered in North Carolina’s Lumber River State Park, the apparent victim of a self-inflicted gunshot wound—or so the official report says. Mica’s family, however, believes otherwise. After years of enduring alleged harassment, manipulation, and abuse from her estranged husband, Pastor John Paul (JP) Miller, Mica had been living in fear for her life. She filed police reports, uncovered GPS trackers on her car, and confided in loved ones about her fears. In this episode of Mama Mystery, we unravel Mica’s journey from a deeply religious upbringing, through a controlling marriage, to her final days marked by escalating harassment. Was her death a tragic suicide, or was there something far more sinister at play? Join us as we examine the evidence, the unanswered questions, and the fight for justice that continues in the wake of Mica’s death. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
