Summary

John-Paul and Mica Miller marry in 2017, and at just 23, Mica becomes stepmom to John-Paul Miller's five children. 

At first, outside the home everybody seems happy, but inside the home, not so much. Mica Miller has decided she has had enough of Pastor John-Paul Miller and files for divorce.  

Four months after filing for divorce, Mica Miller pulls back the divorce papers, only to file again weeks later. After filing for divorce the second time, Mica Miller says she feels like she is being stalked. Her tires are slashed twice.

Police discover a tire deflator has been used on the tires. Taking her car in for service, a mechanic finds a tracking device in Mica Miller's car. Mica Miller tells police she is afraid for her life. She knows who the suspect is, but the police tell her there isn't much they can do. A report is filed, but no charges.

Weeks later, Pastor John-Paul Miller announces during church service that he got a call telling him his wife is dead. Mica commits suicide, according to police. Separate memorial events spring up for Mica Miller, one for her husband at Solid Rock and one for her family and friends held beachside.

Days after the service, Pastor John-Paul Miller is relieved of his duties at the church. Then, police arrested Pastor John-Paul Miller on assault charges unrelated to his wife’s suicide.

An FBI raid of Pastor John-Paul Miller's home followed. The FBI declined to specify what they were searching for. 

Now, Miller is facing new lawsuits alleging he sexually assaulted a teen girl more than 20 years ago.
