The tragic death of 30-year-old Mica Miller has ignited a firestorm of controversy, fueled by a recent TikTok video posted by her husband, John-Paul Miller. Miller, who served as pastor of Solid Rock Church in Market Common, claims to have "350 pieces" of evidence regarding his wife's death, which occurred on April 27, 2024, in a North Carolina state park. In his latest TikTok video, Miller stated that he would release new videos every few days, detailing information about Mica's death and their relationship. "You’re going to be shocked at some of the things that Mica says," Miller claimed, adding that his silence so far was "nothing more than wisdom and self-control so that we can win the war that is up ahead." Mica Miller was found with a gunshot wound to her head in Lumber River State Park. Despite the Robeson County Sheriff’s Department ruling her death a suicide, online chatter and conspiracy theories have proliferated. The case has drawn widespread attention, particularly through the hashtag #justiceformica, as friends, family, and church members speculate on the circumstances surrounding her death. Mica's family, represented by attorney Regina Ward, held a press conference on June 5, 2024, outside the Horry County Courthouse. They announced plans to push for legislative changes to a 2021 domestic violence bill, advocating for it to be renamed "Mica’s Law." The family's press conference followed a hearing that granted them the rights to Mica's belongings. "It is crucial that we address the gaps in our domestic violence laws to prevent tragedies like Mica’s from happening again," Ward stated. John-Paul Miller has denied allegations of abuse, stating in his video, "She has never once been abused as long as she has been married to me." He referred further questions to his attorney, Russell Long, who did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The Robeson County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI have been involved in the investigation, with federal assistance requested for matters unrelated to Mica's death. Sheriff Burnis Wilkins clarified in a statement, "Based on the information gathered during the investigation and jurisdiction reasons, the Sheriff's Office has requested the assistance of both agencies. No other information will be released at this time." Despite this, some members of the public remain skeptical, fueled by details such as a 911 call Mica made before her death. During the call, Mica told the dispatcher, “I'm about to kill myself, and I just want my family to know where to find me,” before hanging up. This call, along with surveillance footage showing Mica purchasing a gun earlier that day, formed the basis of the official ruling of suicide. However, Mica's family disputes this conclusion. They have pointed to her statements about feeling threatened, including finding a GPS tracker on her car and a razor blade on her tire shortly before her death. The case has also highlighted the online community's role in driving public interest and speculation. TikTok users have been particularly active, with accounts like #justiceformica, run by Mica's sister Sierra Francis, posting alleged threatening messages from John-Paul Miller. "Unfortunately, rumors and conspiracy theories were spreading quickly," Sheriff Wilkins said in a May press release. "However, in the end, we must make decisions based on the facts and evidence that have been gathered." As the investigation continues, the public remains divided, with many demanding further transparency and justice for Mica Miller. Her death, surrounded by a web of online speculation and familial allegations, underscores the complexities and emotional toll of such tragic events. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
