Summary

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell continue their deep dive into the Mica Miller case and into Mica’s estranged pastor husband, John-Paul Miller, who stands accused of harassing Mica in the days leading up to her death. On today’s episode, Mandy and Liz talk about what happened in November 2022 after JP instigated what would become a defining fight of their relationship. The escalation starts with two ominous 911 calls placed by Mica’s sister, who feared for her husband and young son after JP threatened to come to her house “armed and ready” to take back Mica, who had fled there after their argument. Then Mandy and Liz reveal what was happening behind the scenes during Mica’s hospitalization less than two weeks later, when JP tried to stop Mica from getting help and threatened police officers when they tried to speak with her alone.

I don't know how many people have blood on their hands in Micah's death.

0:09.0

But I am thankful that Micah left behind a mile-long paper trail documenting the mental abuse that she

endured leading up to her death.

0:19.3

And I am grateful that those who loved Micah are pointing us to the truth and perhaps to something much bigger.

My name is Manny Matney.

This is True Sunlight, a podcast exposing crime and corruption, previously known as the Murdoch Murders podcast.

True Sunlight is a Luna Shark production written with journalist Liz Farrell. Well, welcome back to True Sunlight, or as I like to call it, Female Rage the

By the way, that's a tailor joke for those non-Swifties out there.

As you heard on this week's Cup of Justice,

1:18.0

I have been angry in these past few weeks.

1:21.6

For Micah, for Sarah Lynn, for women who simply have no chance against a

1:26.8

system that was not built for them. I wish things got better this week, but they did not. This week marked the nine-year

1:35.4

anniversary of Sarah Lynn Kalucci's death. The Berkeley County Courthouse has

1:39.9

the case listed for June 10th, which is what we tweeted about earlier this week.

1:45.2

But on Wednesday, the AG's office told us that the date was not correct, and that no date

1:51.5

has been set for the trial, which is incredibly frustrating,

1:56.0

because it shouldn't be this hard to figure out when a murder trial is scheduled for,

especially considering the fact that the alleged... a murder

took place in 2015.

2:11.0

Sarah Lynn's story is tangled in 2015. Sarah Lynn's story is tangled in a very similar web as Micah Miller's story.
