Ep 303: Mica Francis: Analyzing the Federal Charges Against John Paul Miller with Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell

from Crime Analyst · host Laura Richards

30-year-old Mica Miller, née Francis was found dead from a gunshot wound at Lumber River State Park in Robeson County, North Carolina on April 27, 2024.  Her death occurred just two days after she had served her husband, John Paul Miller, with divorce papers. In December Miller was indicted for cyberstalking and making false statements to federal investigators. He appeared in federal court on January 11 2026.  In this episode, you’ll hear what happened in court and Laura unravels the newly unsealed federal indictment with award-winning investigative journalist Mandy Matney and award-winning author Liz Farrell, co-hosts of the True Sunlight podcast. Together, they carefully unpack the charges in the indictment, timelines, and alleged behaviours, as well as discussing why this did not happen when Mica was alive.  Laura, Mandy, and Liz discuss why post-separation periods are often high-risk, how cyberstalking can function as coercive control, the importance of accountability and keeping the spotlight on these cases and why understanding patterns -not isolated events -is essential to prevention and justice.  Understanding escalation and coercive control is lifesaving and life changing.  Listen and share, you may save a life.   #MicaFrancis #MicaMiller #JusticeForMica #CrimeAnalyst #Expert #Analysis #TrueCrime #Podcast #Crime #CoerciveControl #Stalking #Expert #Cyberstalking #FBI #INnvestigation     Clips  https://youtu.be/3y7f9dciL0I?si=YUd8gS8OxTUTuSuG       Sources  Links to Laura and Mandy’s previous discussion re Mica Miller (nee Francis)  Ep 200: Unraveling Mica Miller nèe Francis’ Death and Coercive Control Cross Over with Mandy Matney  Ep 201: Mica Miller Née Francis: Analysing The Digital Evidence and Mica’s List, Part 2   Link to Cross Over episode with Mandy and Laura on Cup of Justice Ep #86:  Apple Link:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/coj-86-crime-analyst-expert-laura-richards-joins-mandy/id1668668400?i=1000659373717  Spotify Link  https://open.spotify.com/episode/10P6t5LmMxF3YHUdgxPcm9?si=e3832e105dc1430d    Mandy and Liz:   Mandy IG  Mandy Website Murdaugh Murders Podcast   Liz on Instagram  Liz Website  Liz on Cup of Justice     2026 Masterclasses and Crime Analyst Resources and Community     Laura offers 2026 Masterclasses covering topics such as profiling behavior, stalking class on February 12, preventing murder and suicide in slow motion on February 19, coercive control February 25, DASH Risk Masterclass March 11 and 12 and DASH Train the Trainer.  Register for Masterclasses     www.dashriskchecklist.com   www.thelaurarichards.com       For more insight and knowledge, advocacy and professional development join The Crime Analyst Squad.
