She Was Finally Leaving Her Pastor Husband.. Two Days Later, MICA MILLER Was De*d

The death of Mica Miller, the 30-year-old wife of Myrtle Beach pastor John-Paul “JP” Miller, has returned to the spotlight following Netflix's 2026 documentary Death of the Pastor's Wife. Mica was found dead at North Carolina's Lumber River State Park on April 27, 2024, just two days after JP was served with separation papers. Authorities ruled her death a suicide, and JP has never been charged with causing her death. However, Mica's family and friends have described allegations of abuse, surveillance and coercive control during their marriage. In December 2025, federal prosecutors separately indicted JP Miller for cyberstalking Mica and making false statements to investigators, alleging unwanted communications, tracking devices, financial interference, an intimate image posted without consent and damage to her vehicle. JP has pleaded not guilty, with his federal case currently expected to proceed in October 2026.
