North Carolina authorities are investigating the death of Mica Miller, the 30-year-old wife of Pastor John-Paul Miller from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Mica’s body was found in Lumber River State Park, about an hour away from their hometown. While John-Paul informed his congregation that Mica died by suicide and had a history of mental health struggles, authorities have not released the official cause of death. Mica’s obituary described her as energetic, loving, and hardworking, but some are noting an odd section that praised her husband’s preaching abilities, despite some apparent discrepancies.
The Horry County Clerk’s Office confirmed that Mica had filed three separate support and maintenance requests since last year, with the latest one filed just days before her death. This legal provision allows one spouse to receive support from the other without divorcing. Since Mica’s death, her family and friends have been sharing posts on social media with the hashtag “JusticeforMica.” Her sister urged people not to listen to false stories about Mica and shared that Mica was a God-fearing and loving woman who did not deserve the abuse she endured. Friends of Mica have also shared their interactions with her in the days leading up to her death, expressing shock over what could have transpired between their last communication and her passing.
Mica’s friend shared that in their final conversations, Mica seemed to be making plans for the future, including getting her hair cut and arranging for financial matters. However, her sudden death has left many questioning what may have transpired between Friday night and Saturday. Authorities have not provided additional details regarding the investigation into Mica’s death. Mica’s friends and family are seeking justice and are urging the community to support them in their quest for answers. The congregation led by John-Paul Miller has not issued a statement, and the Sheriff’s Office has yet to respond to inquiries for further information.
This tragic incident has shocked the Myrtle Beach community, leaving many with questions about what may have led to Mica’s untimely death. Concerns over discrepancies in Mica’s obituary that praised her husband’s preaching abilities despite potential issues in their relationship have raised eyebrows. With ongoing investigations by authorities, friends and family of Mica are seeking justice and asking for support as they grapple with the loss of a loved one. The circumstances surrounding Mica’s death have triggered a conversation about mental health struggles, domestic abuse, and the need for transparency in addressing these issues to prevent similar tragedies in the future. As the community mourns the loss of Mica, they are advocating for accountability and closure in her case.
