Death of the Pastor's Wife

Mica was a devout member of Myrtle Beach’s Solid Rock Church when she fell in love with Pastor JP Miller, 15 years her senior. Though she seemed to flourish as the pastor’s wife and singer in the church choir, signs began to emerge of her husband’s coercive control. Not long after she filed for divorce, Mica Miller’s body was found in a state park. Her death raised questions whether the church leader had driven his estranged wife to die by suicide - or whether he played a more active role.The Netflix documentary series “Death of the Pastor’s Wife” covers the case of Mica Miller, exploring how her husband used religion, sex, and intimidation to control and manipulate her. Did JP Miller’s unconventional sermons about marriage telegraph his own coercive behavior, eventually leading to tragedy? OUR-SPOILER FREE REVIEWS OF "DEATH OF THE PASTOR'S WIFE" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 11 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.In Crime of the Week: food fight.  For exclusive podcasts and more, sign up at Patreon.Sign up for our newsletter at crimewriterson.com.This show was recorded in The Caitlin Rogers Project Studio.
