COERCED: The Devotion & Death of Mica Francis Miller
On April 27, 2024, 30-year-old Mica Francis Miller — wife of Myrtle Beach pastor John-Paul Miller — walked a mile into a North Carolina state park and made a 911 call that would be the last time the world heard her voice. Within days, her death was ruled a suicide — a ruling that would have ended the story for most true crime journalists. We aren't most true crime journalists. And Mica's story is anything but typical. COERCED: The Devotion & Death of Mica Francis Miller is a LUNASHARK® DROP-FEED from the award-winning team behind the Murdaugh Murders Podcast — investigative journalists Mandy Matney, Liz Farrell and Beth Braden — along with producers Kate Thomas, Grace Hills and David Moses. It’s a remastered, chronological retelling of more than 2 years of original reporting from the True Sunlight Podcast, built for listeners who want to follow one case. Listen To Current Coverage On The True Sunlight Podcast or Ad-Free from LUNASHARK Premium on Patreon or Supercast At the time of her death, Mica left behind a paper trail of evidence documenting how JP allegedly abused Mica emotionally, physically, sexually, medically and spiritually throughout their relationship, which started when she was a teenager and he was her youth pastor. Mica died while she was in the process of divorcing JP Miller. COERCED takes a deeper look at JP Miller’s dark past that includes rape allegations, alleged bestiality, an assault conviction and pardon, and a pattern of allegedly abusive behavior that can be traced back to his father — Rev. Wayne Miller. JP’s felon father once owned a Christian complex in South Carolina called Gloryland… before it mysteriously burned down. Through exclusive interviews, 911 calls, court filings, and documents obtained through relentless FOIA requests, COERCED examines coercive control, medical and spiritual abuse, and the systems that dismissed a woman fighting for her life — and asks what accountability looks like. Mica couldn't save herself. But her story could save others. This series discusses domestic abuse, coercive control, and suicide.

- 18 - 17) United States v. John Paul Miller: The Raid, the Arrest & Indictment
For sixteen episodes, you've heard how every system failed Mica Francis Miller. In October 2024, more than two dozen FBI agents descended on JP Miller's house on Coldwater Circle with an evidence truck, carrying out computers and boxes while a crowd gathered. One week later, a mugshot — JP arrested after an altercation with a protester, released on a $776 bond. Then thirteen months of silence, until a Wednesday in December 2025: a federal grand jury indicted John Paul Miller for cyberstalking Mica from November 16, 2022 until the day she died — and for lying to the FBI about it. In this episode of COERCED, Investigative Journalists Mandy Matney, Liz Farrell and Beth Braden take you from the raid to the federal arraignment in Florence — the purple balloons, the "MICA KNEW EVERYTHING" signs, and the monitor that allegedly ensures JP won’t skip town like some other defendants we cover on True Sunlight.

Wed, 09 Sep 2026 - 17 - 16) Jane Doe 1 Was 15. Jane Doe 2 Was 14. The Lawsuits Name JP & Wayne Miller in Sexual Abuse Allegations
This episode discusses alleged sexual assault, including of minors. For support in navigating abuse, consider RAINN: 1-800-656-HOPE. July 1998. A 15-year-old girl at pastor Wayne Miller’s church sits alone when the pastor's son comes in. The rape she alleges happened next stayed buried for 26 years — until the world learned Mica Francis Miller's name. In 1999, at the same Cathedral Hall Academy — the Millers' school in a repurposed bowling alley — a 14-year-old student says JP Miller sexually assaulted her as well. When she reported it, she alleges, the punishment was hers: made to write "I will not lie about John-Paul Miller" 5,000 times. Journalist and producer Grace Hills walks us through how Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell’s original reporting on the lawsuits of Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2 against JP, Wayne and their churchy businesses. But first, Mandy, Liz and Beth review the legal war that preceded these sexual assault suits, as JP filed as many as 28 actions against protesters, content creators, a hairdresser, a guitarist, and at least three women named Melissa. He sought a restraining order — while under federal investigation for allegedly cyberstalking his late wife. Both Millers deny wrongdoing; neither has been criminally charged. So much to get into.

Tue, 08 Sep 2026 - 16 - 15) Why JP Miller’s Story of Mica’s ‘Previous Suicide Attempt’ Does Not Add Up
When Mica died, JP Miller told the world she had a long history of suicide attempts. In two years of reporting, this is the only alleged attempt a record exists for: March 23, 2018 — four months into their marriage, three months into a diagnosis Mica questioned until the day she died. Journalist and producer Grace Hills walks us through how Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell reconstructed those months through Mica's records: the medication side effects no one weighed, including akathisia — a condition clinically linked to suicidal distress. The single therapy session where a clinician suggested JP stay out of the room. Then Beth Braden and team examine JP's account of that morning against the clock: a pawn shop that opened at 9 a.m., a firearm purchase on a felon's credit card, a phone call at 10. There's a reason we couch the attempt as "alleged." By the end, you'll understand it — and understand what was built on that one hour.

Mon, 07 Sep 2026 - 15 - 14) Surveillance Footage Shows Major Discrepancy in Story of Chris Skinner’s Death
On Labor Day 2021... September 6th... 5 years from the publishing of this episode... Chris Skinner — author, motivational speaker, devoted father of twins — was found at the bottom of his neighborhood pool in Myrtle Beach, still in his wheelchair. Police closed the case in two days. The report's narrative runs five sentences. His body was cremated. Thanks to Beth Braden's FOIA work, we were the first outlet to obtain the 911 call and the surveillance and dash cam footage — and after meticulously syncing the mismatched timestamps, a timeline emerged that the two-day investigation never grappled with. Investigative Journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell walk through who Chris was, what the footage shows minute by minute, the "do not resuscitate" order that was never produced, and the chess partner Chris was allegedly meeting that day has never come forward. To be clear, no one has been charged in Chris's death.

Sun, 06 Sep 2026 - 14 - 13) What Mica's Medical Records Reveal About Life With JP Miller...
After Mica died, a stack of her alleged medical records surfaced — spanning years of her marriage to JP Miller. Every month is accounted for except one: December 2017. The month a 23-year-old newlywed with no history of depression or mania went in for surgery and came out with a bipolar diagnosis... Investigative Journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell walk through what those records actually document — a patient asking when she could return to work, a doctor writing about Mica and JP as "they," and black-marker redactions you can read straight through. Then our team digs into the psychiatrist behind many of these reports, Dr. Shadi Duchesne (which we admittedly pronounced a number of ways), who had some license trouble in Pennsylvania before treating Mica in South Carolina. Finally, the FOIA requests Mica filed herself, three days out of an involuntary hospitalization — fighting for her own records ahead of a commitment hearing. Horry County sent back only one of at least eight reports.

Sat, 05 Sep 2026 - 13 - 12) ‘How Selfish And Ungodly’: Does JP Miller's Own Evidence Work Against Him?
Eleven days after his church wedding to Mica, JP Miller sent his 23-year-old bride an email. She wanted to come off the psychiatric medication she'd been put on weeks earlier. Apparently, JP suggested that was "selfish and ungodly" — and if she wouldn't stay on her meds, she couldn't discuss it in his house. He filed that email in court as an exhibit… as evidence of his love…? Investigative Journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell put JP's emails next to Mica's own alleged medical records — and the two don't tell the same story. Her clinicians described Mica as Not manic. Not depressed. Not suicidal. What was not written in filed documents was the “schizophrenia” JP proclaimed on TikTok Mica suffered from. Who was the author of Mica's medical story?

Fri, 04 Sep 2026 - 12 - 11) ‘The Devil is a Liar’: What JP Miller’s Emails To Mica Reveal About Their Marriage
In July 2024, just three days before settling with Mica's family, JP Miller filed a seven-page affidavit and more than 65 exhibits in probate court — texts, emails and invoices he believed proved he was a loving husband. He filed them himself. Unsealed. On purpose. Investigative Journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell walk through documents from their first six weeks of marriage, a civil ceremony kept secret so his 23-year-old bride could move in "without living in sin" before her surgery, undecipherable emails that began two weeks later and a sudden psychiatric diagnosis. Plus we examine a three-page email titled "Our Life" — sent nine days before their church wedding — in which JP told Mica exactly who she was allowed to be, blaming their troubles on a "vicious attack from the enemy," because "the devil is a liar." Coercive control rarely leaves a record, because the abuser controls the record... JP Miller entered his into evidence.

Thu, 03 Sep 2026 - 11 - 10) What Led To Mica’s Family Reaching Settlement With JP Miller + Affair Accusations
In July 2024, three months after Mica's death, her family reached a sealed settlement with JP Miller over her estate — and JP walked out of the courthouse smirking like a man who'd won. He hadn't. In this episode, Investigative Journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell break down the five things really driving that settlement, including the house JP sold to his church two months after Mica first filed for divorce. Then we're exploring the strange PR machinery that appeared in the weeks before the deal. A TikTok account that materialized to tell JP's side. A "reporter" at the Solid Rock protests whose press badge carried a fake name — and whose website was registered that same morning. And the centerpiece: a recording of JP's 2 a.m. phone call on March 11, 2024, confronting a young church employee about Mica — the same night Mica found a razor blade in her tire. JP posted it to prove Mica was the villain. Listen to what it actually proves.

Wed, 02 Sep 2026 - 10 - 9) Deny, Attack, Reverse: Why JP Miller Accused Mica of Stealing From The Church + Did JP Steal Mica’s Notary?
In February 2024, Mica Francis Miller was slipping out of JP Miller's reach — so he allegedly did what psychologists call DARVO: deny, attack, reverse victim and offender. Twice, JP's church reported Mica to police for theft. The amount? $159.00 — from a charity account funded entirely by Mica's own money. A judge refused to sign a warrant. But the accusation weighed on Mica, who told friends she feared JP would pin the church's financial anomalies on her. In this episode, Investigative Journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell uncover what happened next: the notary embosser JP allegedly withheld from Mica, her desperate email to the Secretary of State, and the emails JP forwarded to a Myrtle Beach police officer he called a friend. Then, one day after Mica reported him, JP went back to Waccamaw to have her committed — and the fire department was called to his house for a smoldering burn pit. What was he burning…?

Tue, 01 Sep 2026 - 9 - 8) The Law That Could Have Saved Mica Francis Miller + The Abuse Alleged In Mica’s List
Mica Francis Miller did what victims are told to do, and the law had no name for what was being done to her. In this episode of COERCED, you'll learn more about Mica's List: five pages of alleged abuse, drawn from her own journals, that her family's attorney Regina Ward read into the record at a Myrtle Beach press conference. Sleep deprivation. Forced medication. Locks changed, accounts hijacked, sermons weaponized. Investigative Journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell dive into the maddening truth: most of it isn't a chargeable crime in South Carolina, and a bill that would change that has sat in the Judiciary Committee since 2020. Hear Mica's own senator dismiss her family, former Scotland Yard criminal behavioral analyst Laura Richards trace the red flags, and Mica's sisters testify before a Senate subcommittee two years after her death, only to be told to "never waver." Mica's Law still hasn't passed. And even when it does, it can never be used against JP Miller. So what can be?

Mon, 31 Aug 2026 - 8 - 7) How Horry County Police And Robeson County Medical Examiner’s Office Failed Mica Francis Miller
Mica Francis Miller did everything we tell victims to do. She documented. She called 911. She filed report after report… Investigative Journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell walk through the record Mica built while she was alive, and the one the state built after she died. In this episode of COERCED built from True Sunlight Podcast reporting, you'll hear Mica’s own voice: calm and clear from a hospital bed in February 2024, telling police her estranged pastor husband has seized her phone, laptop, and car; then a month later, reporting a razor blade planted in her tire, already reciting the excuses she knew police would use to do nothing. Then… a dispatcher's parting words rang hollow: "Good luck" and six weeks later, Mica was dead. The four-page medical examiner's report, printed on yellow paper, closed her case without an autopsy, with a time of death that contradicts law enforcement's own timeline, two spent casings, and a body found 100 feet away.

Mon, 31 Aug 2026 - 7 - 6) JP Miller Accused Of Assault & Abuse + What His Ex-Wife Said
John-Paul Miller's decades of alleged behavior are finally being brought into the light. Remastered from True Sunlight Podcast reporting by Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell, this episode covers Miller's 1999 conviction for hitting a woman with his truck twice, and the 2019 pardon hearing where JP minimized the assault and misrepresented his own family and church. JP's first divorce, from wife Alison Williams in 2015, followed his affair with Mica Francis Miller becoming public. Alison's affidavit describes JP's history of alleged misconduct with teenage girls at Solid Rock Church, restricted overnight visitation with his own daughter, and an unsettling detail from Alison's own account: the husband of a woman linked to JP romantically died in a drowning accident shortly after confronting JP.

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 - 6 - 5) Like Father Like Son... Divorce Documents of JP Miller’s Parents Show Pattern
Mica Francis Miller's father-in-law, pastor Wayne Miller, and his 2001 divorce from JP Miller's mother Susan reveal a chilling blueprint for what would later happen to Mica herself. In this episode, remastered from True Sunlight Podcast reporting by Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell, court filings from Wayne and Susan’s divorce show a pattern of coercive control, financial punishment, and church-backed retaliation against a pastor's wife trying to leave. Susan accused Wayne of violence and control; he blamed the church's "dropping income" on her, canceled her health insurance, and had church employees try to reclaim her car — all while claiming to be broke running the ministry he founded. When Susan pushed back, Wayne painted her as unstable and vindictive to the congregation, a narrative JP would later use against Mica almost word for word. JP was in his early twenties, watching all of it. Susan Miller survived her divorce from a Miller man. Mica did not survive hers.

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 - 5 - 4) Bathhouses and Bible College… The Troubling Past of JP's Felon Father Rev. Wayne Miller
John-Paul Miller didn't invent his playbook — he inherited it. In this episode, remastered from True Sunlight Podcast reporting, Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell trace the rise of JP's father, televangelist Wayne Miller: the 1970s "Good Morning Jesus" broadcast empire, a 500-acre compound called Gloryland, and 1987 allegations that he made sexual advances on his bible college students. Wayne claimed a "credentials committee" cleared him of wrongdoing. Mandy and Liz found that committee's paperwork, and its first listed member is Wayne Miller himself. The episode also traces the suspicious fire that leveled Gloryland, Wayne's 2006 indecent exposure arrest, and his 2014 federal felony convictions for exploiting foreign bible college students. Two decades before Mica ever filed for divorce, Wayne's own wife Susan described a nearly identical playbook — a wife painted as unstable, a church turned against her. Understanding Wayne Miller is understanding JP Miller. This series discusses domestic abuse, coercive control, and suicide.

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 - 4 - 3) The Terrifying 2022 Incident That Changed Everything For JP And Mica Miller
On the evening of November 16, 2022, Mica Francis Miller's sister called 911 from her home in Gaffney, South Carolina. Her husband, Pastor John-Paul Miller, had texted that he was "armed and ready" and on his way. Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell, remastered from their original True Sunlight Podcast reporting, walk through that night's 911 calls and JP's texts to Mica, swinging from guilt to scripture to threats. Twelve days later, Mica was hospitalized at Waccamaw Center for Mental Health — not by JP Miller, but by her sister. Police records show JP tried to remove her from the facility before officers intervened, then told friends she was having a bipolar episode while telling her brother she might be committed for months. The day she was released, Mica signed a healthcare power of attorney giving JP control over her medical care and organs. It sat unfiled for sixteen months, until someone quietly filed it in March 2024 — weeks before her death. This series discusses domestic abuse, coercive control, and suicide.

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 - 3 - 2) Red Flags & Receipts... Mica’s Best Friend Charlotte Exposes JP Miller’s Texts
In 2017, Mica Francis Miller met Charlotte Korn at Solid Rock Church in Myrtle Beach — the same year, it turns out, Mica had secretly married her pastor, John-Paul Miller. Charlotte didn't know it yet, but she would spend the next 7 years watching her closest friend try to survive that marriage. This episode is remastered from our original reporting on the True Sunlight Podcast — where Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell first sat down with Charlotte to trace the full scope of Mica's story. Charlotte describes a marriage built on a foundation she didn't understand until much later: a secret ceremony timed around a surgery and a bipolar diagnosis that followed a bad reaction to anesthesia. She remembers how beloved Mica was at Solid Rock Church, involved in nearly every ministry. And the night in November 2022 when Mica fled for a few days, and JP responded by texting Charlotte directly, threatening to show up "armed and ready." But more than that, Charlotte wants people to remember who Mica actually was: the friend who apologized even when she’d done nothing wrong, some who always asked how she could honor God a little better, and a beautiful friend to everyone she met.

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 - 2 - 1) What Happened To Mica Miller? Unraveling Evidence Of Abuse She Left Behind
Listen To Current Coverage On The True Sunlight Podcast or Ad-Free from LUNASHARK Premium on Patreon or Supercast On April 27, 2024, Mica Francis Miller — a 30-year-old Myrtle Beach woman in the middle of divorcing her pastor husband, John-Paul Miller — called 911 from a state park in Robeson County, North Carolina. It would be the last time the world heard her voice. Ten days later, her death was ruled a suicide. But Mica's story is anything but typical — and she left behind a trail of evidence she wanted the world to find. In the premiere of our remastered Drop-Feed series, Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell return to where their reporting began: the bizarre sermon Pastor JP Miller delivered the morning after his estranged wife's death. An obituary that reads like a taunt. A criminal history that includes running over a woman with a car — twice. And a stack of police reports showing Mica tracked, harassed, and hospitalized against her will in the months before she died. Police say that JP Miller didn't pull the trigger. But as Mandy and Liz explain — there's more than one way to end a life. This series discusses domestic abuse, coercive control, and suicide.

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 - 1 - Trailer For COERCED: The Devotion & Death of Mica Francis Miller
COERCED: The Devotion & Death of Mica Francis Miller is a LUNASHARK® DROP-FEED from the award-winning team behind the Murdaugh Murders Podcast — investigative journalists Mandy Matney, Liz Farrell and Beth Braden — along with producers Kate Thomas, Grace Hills and David Moses. It’s a remastered, chronological retelling of more than 2 years of original reporting from the True Sunlight Podcast, built for listeners who want to follow one case. On April 27, 2024, 30-year-old Mica Miller — wife of Myrtle Beach pastor John-Paul Miller — walked a mile into a North Carolina state park and made a 911 call that would be the last time the world heard her voice. Within days, her death was ruled a suicide — a ruling that would have ended the story for most true crime journalists. In the premiere of our remastered Drop-Feed series, Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell return to where their reporting began: the bizarre sermon Pastor JP Miller delivered the morning after his estranged wife's death. An obituary that reads like a taunt. A criminal history that includes running over a woman with a car — twice. And a stack of police reports showing Mica tracked, harassed, and hospitalized against her will in the months before she died. Police say that JP Miller didn't pull the trigger. But as Mandy and Liz explain — there's more than one way to end a life. COERCED takes a deeper look at JP Miller’s dark past that includes rape allegations, alleged bestiality, an assault conviction and pardon, and a pattern of allegedly abusive behavior that can be traced back to his father — Rev. Wayne Miller. JP’s felon father once owned a Christian complex in South Carolina called Gloryland… before it mysteriously burned down. Through exclusive interviews, 911 calls, court filings, and documents obtained through relentless FOIA requests, COERCED examines coercive control, medical and spiritual abuse, and the systems that dismissed a woman fighting for her life — and asks what accountability looks like. Mica couldn't save herself. But her story could save others. This series discusses domestic abuse, coercive control, and suicide.
