Welcome back or welcome to Autopsy of a Crime.
Today I want to talk about a story that is rapidly unfolding
and is taking social media by storm.
(02:35):
This story has gone viral on TikTok and this episode was
going to come out later. But given all of the information
that is coming out, I decided what the heck we're posting it.
Micah Miller, 30 years old and the wife of a pastor, was found
(02:57):
deceased on April 27th, 2024. Her husband would announce to
his congregation that this was the result of a suicide, while
Micah was portrayed as mentally ill and unstable by her husband,
JP Miller. There may be more to this story,
so let's talk about it. I want to start by rewinding the
(03:24):
clock. Let's go back to when Micah
Miller was 14 years old. Micah was always involved in the
church and at 14 years old was apart of a youth group in Myrtle
Beach, SC where she met John Paul Miller.
He was in his mid 30s at the time and married.
Micah even babysat for he and his wife's children.
(03:47):
After years of what many would call grooming, JP Miller would
leave his wife and marry Micah once she was of legal age.
Over the years, there were many rumors of J PS affairs and
abuse. That Micah may have been
suffering at his hands was not shocking when he would belittle
her or speak of her alleged mental illnesses while preaching
(04:09):
his sermons. So we have a beautiful young
girl who is groomed by a creep who's a part of the church and
is supposed to be trustworthy, who then marries her, cheats on
her and likely abuses her. Come October of 2023, Micah had
(04:29):
had enough and filed for divorce.
That filing would be dismissed in February 2024 and she would
go on to file again, as well as file for a protective order
against her husband JP Miller. This refiling and protective
order are claimed to have been served within 48 hours of Micah
Miller Passing away many Facebook posts from Micah as
(04:53):
well as her friends and family during the months leading up to
her death would depict a pictureof abuse, Micah struggling to
survive financially, couch surfing and even being and
hiding from her estranged husband.
One Facebook post from her sister stated that prior to
March of 2024, Micah did not have access to her phone,
(05:15):
e-mail, nor Facebook and warned people who were receiving
messages appearingly from Micah that it was in fact not Micah at
all. Friends and family of Micah have
spoken out about their efforts to hide Micah from her husband
as well as checking in with her,often out of fear for her
safety. Prior to Micah's death, she had
(05:37):
filed court documents related tothe divorce and spousal support.
A court date had been scheduled for June.
On April 27th, Micah Miller's body was found with a fatal
gunshot wound to the head at Lumber River State Park in
Lumberton, NC On April 28th, JP Miller makes a very tacky
(05:59):
announcement at the end of one of his services, as if it were
nothing but a mere afterthought.He told the congregation that he
had an announcement and he'd like for there to be no
discussion after the announcement and for everyone to
leave when he was finished. He went on to tell his
congregation that his wife had died and proclaimed it as self
induced. JP Miller further provided a
(06:22):
short update on Micah's passing by talking about her mental
health struggles. He then requested prayers and
support for Micah's remaining family members.
His statement was quote y'all, pray for me and my kids and
everybody. You all knew she wasn't well
mentally and she needed medicinethat was hard to get for her.
I'm sure there will be more details to come, but keep her
(06:44):
family in your prayers. The pastor then spoke about a
possible vacation to his congregation following his
announcement that his wife had passed away, during which he
urged the members to continue giving donations to the church.
He expressed uncertainty about when he would return, suggesting
(07:04):
a possible weeks or months long period of rest.
OK, In her final week she had made plans to get her hair cut,
get help with her car payment because she was just a little
short after paying her divorce lawyer, and planned on meeting
her friends at a church service on Sunday, April 28th.
(07:26):
On Saturday on Saturday, April 27th, Micah left in her work
uniform to work at J Peters, a local restaurant she never
showed. Her body was discovered an hour
and a half away in Lumberton, NC.
Does this sound like someone planning to end their life to
(07:48):
you guys? On May 2nd, the Robeson County
Sheriff's Office opens an investigation into Micah's
passing, with officers gatheringinformation from both North and
South Carolina May 5th. Despite the ongoing
investigation, JP continues to assert that Micah's passing was
(08:09):
self-inflicted. Following Micah's death, her
husband, JP Miller, wanted to speed up the process and have
Micah Miller's body cremated as soon as possible and also
prevented her family from seeingher.
However, investigators intervened swiftly to halt the
decision, saying they needed more proof to confirm that her
death was indeed self-inflicted.All the while, Mr. Miller is
(08:31):
photographed out in public with his alleged mistress Susie.
From things posted online, it seems it was common knowledge
that JP and Susie had been dating for years, They have been
sharing food and blankets at soccer games, and they've been
seen at a water park. Susie has quite an interesting
little background as well because in 2021 Susie's then
(08:56):
husband, who was paralyzed and lived his life in a wheelchair,
drowned in a pool and it was accidental.
Yep, you heard that right. It seems her husband was a
motivational speaker and wheelchair bound.
He was found deceased in a pool and it's claimed that this was
either accidental or suicide. Now just let that sink in.
(09:20):
Quite the coincidence this happened in a community pool.
Nonetheless, Now I also want to read a couple of police reports
that have been released that were filed by Micah Miller on
March 3rd, 2024. Some information is redacted
such as an alleged suspect but listen to this date and time of
(09:44):
offence 3/11/24 1:20 AM on 3/11/24 HCPD officers were
dispatched to REDACTED MargaritaDrive in the Myrtle Beach area
of Horry County for a report of a razor blade being placed in
her tire at the location of redacted spring made drive.
(10:07):
Responding officer spoke with V1victim one who stated that this
is the second time a razor has deflated her tire.
In the last week V1 stated that she was at Spring made pier
around 01/30. V1 stated as she was leaving she
heard a pop and noticed that a piece of metal was protruding
from her tire. V1 made it home and found the
(10:29):
tire had almost fully deflated by that point.
Responding officer observed the tire and upon removal of the
metal piece it was found that the metal was a tire deflation
device that can be purchased online.
V1 believes S1 suspect 1 May have placed or had the item
(10:49):
placed in her tire redacted. She has noticed strange activity
when she she has noticed strangeactivity in what she believes as
people following or watching her.
V1 stated that S1 has a history of similar actions against her.
Evidence was not sufficient to prove that S1 placed the razor
(11:09):
device under the tire. Nothing further.
And that's not all, folks. We've got another one same day,
date and time of offence. March 11th 2024 11:46 AM on
3/11/2024. I responded to 8756 Highway 17
(11:30):
Bypass which is the East Coast Honda dealership in the Myrtle
Beach section of Horry County inreference to a harassment.
Upon my arrival, I spoke with the victim who advised she was
just out with one of our officers getting a report for an
unknown person slashing her tires.
She advised the officer helped her change her tire and then she
(11:50):
went to the gas station for gas and then straight to East Coast
Honda to get her tire fixed. She advised While at the gas
station the suspect in this incident showed up next to her
at the pump trying to talk to her.
She told him him to go away, shedoes not want to talk and then
when she pulled her phone out torecord, he speed off.
(12:11):
The victim then leaves and goes to East Coast Honda and the
suspect showed up again redacted.
While I was out with the victim,she received a no caller ID call
which ended up being the suspect.
The suspect was advised that thevictim does not want any further
contact and if he proceeds then warrants may possibly be written
up. The suspect acknowledged the
(12:33):
advisory by saying OK in parentheses, it says on BWC.
I'm not sure what that means. The victim advised me she was
afraid for her life. She also advised she blocks his
numbers and still gets calls andtexts from him on other numbers.
After clearing the call and my departure from the Honda
(12:54):
dealership, the victim had texted me and stated that the
mechanics had found a tracking device on her vehicle.
About an hour later, she had notified me that she was at the
magistrate's office trying to get a restraining order.
I asked the victim if I could come get the GPS from her and
she said yes. While I was standing out front
of the magistrate's office with the victim, a white and color
(13:17):
Honda Accord had slowed rolled down Sipito Lane in front of the
magistrate's office and the victim stated that that was the
suspect in her car driving by. The victim then speed up and
drove off. Nothing further.
Now try to tell me that this entire thing doesn't stink to
(13:38):
high heaven. JP Miller has a lot of
explaining to do now, as the online sleuths do their thing,
we are beginning to get more andmore.
Not only did Micah post videos of herself on her own Facebook
account, hinting at getting awayfrom abuse and going through a
(14:01):
hard time, it would appear that she kept a detailed binder with
what we can perhaps call evidence.
This said binder allegedly has been handed over to authorities
and inside of this binder there are claims a letter from JP
(14:25):
apologizing for a variety of things.
There are also allegations of not only domestic abuse but
sexual abuse as well and the suggestion that he had a blow up
sex doll of a four year old and would sometimes relieve himself
(14:47):
to he and Micah's dog. I also want to say that these
details were provided by a Tik Toker, who is in touch with
Micah Miller's family and is also working with a private
investigator on this case. Now the Internet is internetting
and the webs they're weaving. Deep dives into public records
(15:12):
show that Micah Miller allegedlygranted power of attorney to her
husband, JP Miller on March 20th, 2024.
The same husband. She was terrified of the same
husband that maybe was slashing her tires.
Yeah, him. Furthermore, it shows that a
(15:32):
person personal property tax bill for Micah's car was paid as
little as a day before her death.
Now we know she was working to get some extra money together
for her car payment because she didn't have enough after paying
her attorney, but somehow she just randomly paid a personal
property tax. I also don't think that someone
(15:54):
planning to end their life is concerned with bills.
Do y'all, an e-mail sent out on May 5th from Solid Rock Church
reads, QUOTE I, Charles Randall,by the authority vested in me as
overseer, hereby release Pastor John Paul Miller from all
ministerial functions for a timeof healing, counsel, and
(16:19):
guidance pursuant to our governing instrument signed
Charles Randall. Is this a church or a court?
Because that reads like a contract, like a motion.
What is going on at this church?It was also said online on May
(16:43):
6th that an affidavit would be coming out, and surely it has.
This is an affidavit filed by Micah's sister Sierra in regards
to the estate of Micah Miller. Because as it would appear,
since she had filed and initiated a divorce and the
(17:05):
splitting of marital assets, that filing can survive her
death and be carried out by her estate.
Isn't that something the more you know now her brother also
filed an affidavit, but I have the sisters here and I want to
read it to Y'all. This was filed with the probate
(17:27):
court and Horry, South Carolina.Now this is an affidavit in
support of Application for Appointment of Special
Administrator and it reads. Sierra Francis petitioner
personally appeared before me, Sierra Francis, who, after being
duly sworn, deposes and states as follows.
(17:49):
One, I am the petitioner in the proceedings which are pending
before the probate court as to the appointment of a special
administrator for my sister's estate.
Two I am Micah's younger sister,having been raised by our
parents, Michael Francis and Angelita Salas, with our
siblings Nathaniel, Destiny, Anna, and Abby 3.
(18:12):
We ultimately settled in Myrtle Beach, SC in 2007 with our mom
and stepdad 4. I was aware of Micah's family
dynamics and relationship with her husband, respondent John
Paul Miller, and stepchildren Selah, Asher, Logan, Eli, and
Zach 5. Micah and I spoke every few
(18:34):
days, texting daily so much as to even create playlists
together. Micah would drive to visit me
and my family in Gaffney, SC at least once a month.
Six I know my sister to have expressed the abuse and violence
against her by her husband to others, including family members
and members of the church congregation. 7 Micah told me
(18:58):
that there were people followingher, keeping track of where she
went. She thought that Mister Miller
had hired people to follow her. Mr. Miller later confirmed this.
During a sermon I watched, 8 Micah confided in me that Mister
Miller was moving assets that were in his name, such as his
vehicle, changing the deed to their house, to the church,
(19:20):
transferring interest in Crocodile Rocks to one of his
sons. 9 In February 2024, Mr. Miller removed my sister's
personal items from the home that they shared while she was
admitted to whack a Maw mental health facility and left them at
the apartment of Diana Niosi. My sister was not aware that her
personal possessions had been removed from her residence until
(19:43):
she was released from the hospital. 10 Prior to her
admission to Whack a Maw, Micah was gathering and sorting the
evidence she had to bring to an attorney for filing for divorce
to support her claims against Mr. Miller and as to his abuse.
Character. His paramours and associates he
(20:05):
quote, paid off and or blackmailed while at the
facility. Those documents, emails, files,
etcetera were removed from her phone, personal laptop, vehicle
and purse and never recovered. Further, Micah was unable to
access her iCloud account, e-mail, or Facebook profile.
(20:26):
Mr. Miller continued using at least one of Micah's accounts,
causing any recipient to believeit was Micah's communications.
11 Micah talked about what she wanted her life to be like
following her divorce from Mr. Miller, having traveled for a
church mission in the past fall.From October 15th through
October 27th, 2023, Micah was intending to participate in
(20:49):
additional missions, even to live part time in Kenya.
Michael recently shipped Micah recently shipped some of her
personal items to Kenya in preparation for her stay there.
12 My sister was hopeful for herfuture after filing for divorce
from John Paul. 13 My sister also expressed to me that she
(21:10):
was fearful that he that she would not make it to the divorce
and that her life would be takenfrom her.
It is my belief based on conversations with my sister
that she told multiple people, including other family members.
14 Micah stated to me on many occasions.
Quote if I end up with a bullet in my head, it was not by me, it
(21:35):
was JP End Quote and I just wantto read that one more time.
Micah stated to me on many occasions.
Quote if I end up with a bullet in my head, it was not by me, it
was JP. End Quote 15.
(21:56):
Micah forwarded a family group text message notifying us that
Mister Miller was served with divorce papers on April 25th
20/24/16. On April 27th, 2024, my sister
Micah A Miller was found dead asa result of a gunshot wound in
Libbert in Lumberton, NC 17. I have the full support of my
(22:22):
family and my request to be appointed as Special
Administrator. I take this request and my
potential appointment to this role very seriously and further.
Affiant Seth not sworn and subscribed before me this second
day of May 2024 and this is notarized and signed by her
(22:49):
sister. That's just that is
heartbreaking. Now it's also rumoured that this
has been granted and Micah's sister is now appointed the
administrator of her state. That has not yet been confirmed
but it is circling online. We have also come to find that
(23:15):
many sermons were recorded and posted to YouTube, seemingly now
scrubbed, but screen recordings live on forever.
On March 10, during his sermon, John Paul disclosed that he rode
through his wife's phone messages for the previous two
years. He discovered that 18 people had
(23:36):
contacted her, offering to keep their conversations about her
husband private. The pastor continued, clearly
agitated. Quote, that's a demon talking.
End Quote On the same day he stated quote one thing I'm going
to preach about is getting rich,strong, healthy, and finding a
hot wife that loves Jesus. End Quote while wearing his
(24:01):
wedding ring. John Paul later informed his
audience that his wife was hospitalized and that she left
him as soon as she was discharged.
Quote She gets out and she just leaves.
Just completely leaves me. Leaves everything, drains the
bank account and just goes, guess what?
(24:23):
While you're talking bad about me out there, I'm building a
school in Africa for over 100 kids to be able to be fed.
End Quote. That sounds like a narcissist if
I've ever heard one. And I mean honestly, I have to
ask what in the hell is going onat this church?
Who gave this man a microphone? And who are the people who come
(24:46):
to listen to his egotistical sermons?
Micah posted a video on March 22nd suggesting she was being
abused physically and mentally. She also says, quote, God hates
divorce, but how does God feel about abuse?
End Quote. She also suggests her husband
(25:08):
forced her to take illegal drugs.
Micah filed for spousal support on April 16th.
A hearing notice was sent out regarding Micah's request.
On April 23rd a June 5 court date was scheduled and on April
27th Micah Miller's body was discovered with a gunshot wound.
(25:30):
On April 28th John Paul Miller at the conclusion of the service
informed his congregation that his wife had died and that her
death her death was self-inflicted.
He also talked about her mental health condition to the
assembly. Sierra Francis, Micah Miller's
sister, who also is the one who petitioned the court with that
(25:53):
affidavit that I just read, wrote on Facebook again on April
28th, stating quote, don't listen to the false stories
being told about her. The church's website is also now
down When trying to visit the site, a banner reads quote, this
account has been suspended. End Quote.
(26:15):
As of the date of this recording, the investigation
into Micah Miller's death is ongoing and a manner of death
has not yet been announced by authorities.
Please keep this family in your prayers and please help spread
this story. Something about this just does
not sit right, and Micah Miller and her family deserve justice
(26:38):
if something nefarious happened to her and may anyone who had a
part in anything to do with her passing burn in hell.

photographed out in public with his alleged mistress Susie.
From things posted online, it seems it was common knowledge
that JP and Susie had been dating for years, They have been
sharing food and blankets at soccer games, and they've been
seen at a water park. Susie has quite an interesting
little background as well because in 2021 Susie's then
(08:56):
husband, who was paralyzed and lived his life in a wheelchair,
drowned in a pool and it was accidental.
Yep, you heard that right. It seems her husband was a
motivational speaker and wheelchair bound.
He was found deceased in a pool and it's claimed that this was
either accidental or suicide. Now just let that sink in.
(09:20):
Quite the coincidence this happened in a community pool.
Nonetheless, Now I also want to read a couple of police reports
that have been released that were filed by Micah Miller on
March 3rd, 2024. Some information is redacted
such as an alleged suspect but listen to this date and time of
(09:44):
offence 3/11/24 1:20 AM on 3/11/24 HCPD officers were
dispatched to REDACTED MargaritaDrive in the Myrtle Beach area
of Horry County for a report of a razor blade being placed in
her tire at the location of redacted spring made drive.
(10:07):
Responding officer spoke with V1victim one who stated that this
is the second time a razor has deflated her tire.
In the last week V1 stated that she was at Spring made pier
around 01/30. V1 stated as she was leaving she
heard a pop and noticed that a piece of metal was protruding
from her tire. V1 made it home and found the
(10:29):
tire had almost fully deflated by that point.
Responding officer observed the tire and upon removal of the
metal piece it was found that the metal was a tire deflation
device that can be purchased online.
V1 believes S1 suspect 1 May have placed or had the item
(10:49):
placed in her tire redacted. She has noticed strange activity
when she she has noticed strangeactivity in what she believes as
people following or watching her.
V1 stated that S1 has a history of similar actions against her.
Evidence was not sufficient to prove that S1 placed the razor
(11:09):
device under the tire. Nothing further.
And that's not all, folks. We've got another one same day,
date and time of offence. March 11th 2024 11:46 AM on
3/11/2024. I responded to 8756 Highway 17
(11:30):
Bypass which is the East Coast Honda dealership in the Myrtle
Beach section of Horry County inreference to a harassment.
Upon my arrival, I spoke with the victim who advised she was
just out with one of our officers getting a report for an
unknown person slashing her tires.
She advised the officer helped her change her tire and then she
(11:50):
went to the gas station for gas and then straight to East Coast
Honda to get her tire fixed. She advised While at the gas
station the suspect in this incident showed up next to her
at the pump trying to talk to her.
She told him him to go away, shedoes not want to talk and then
when she pulled her phone out torecord, he speed off.
(12:11):
The victim then leaves and goes to East Coast Honda and the
suspect showed up again redacted.
While I was out with the victim,she received a no caller ID call
which ended up being the suspect.
The suspect was advised that thevictim does not want any further
contact and if he proceeds then warrants may possibly be written
up. The suspect acknowledged the
(12:33):
advisory by saying OK in parentheses, it says on BWC.
I'm not sure what that means. The victim advised me she was
afraid for her life. She also advised she blocks his
numbers and still gets calls andtexts from him on other numbers.
After clearing the call and my departure from the Honda
(12:54):
dealership, the victim had texted me and stated that the
mechanics had found a tracking device on her vehicle.
About an hour later, she had notified me that she was at the
magistrate's office trying to get a restraining order.
I asked the victim if I could come get the GPS from her and
she said yes. While I was standing out front
of the magistrate's office with the victim, a white and color
(13:17):
Honda Accord had slowed rolled down Sipito Lane in front of the
magistrate's office and the victim stated that that was the
suspect in her car driving by. The victim then speed up and
drove off. Nothing further.
Now try to tell me that this entire thing doesn't stink to
(13:38):
high heaven. JP Miller has a lot of
explaining to do now, as the online sleuths do their thing,
we are beginning to get more andmore.
Not only did Micah post videos of herself on her own Facebook
account, hinting at getting awayfrom abuse and going through a
(14:01):
hard time, it would appear that she kept a detailed binder with
what we can perhaps call evidence.
This said binder allegedly has been handed over to authorities
and inside of this binder there are claims a letter from JP
(14:25):
apologizing for a variety of things.
There are also allegations of not only domestic abuse but
sexual abuse as well and the suggestion that he had a blow up
sex doll of a four year old and would sometimes relieve himself
(14:47):
to he and Micah's dog. I also want to say that these
details were provided by a Tik Toker, who is in touch with
Micah Miller's family and is also working with a private
investigator on this case. Now the Internet is internetting
and the webs they're weaving. Deep dives into public records
(15:12):
show that Micah Miller allegedlygranted power of attorney to her
husband, JP Miller on March 20th, 2024.
The same husband. She was terrified of the same
husband that maybe was slashing her tires.
Yeah, him. Furthermore, it shows that a
(15:32):
person personal property tax bill for Micah's car was paid as
little as a day before her death.
Now we know she was working to get some extra money together
for her car payment because she didn't have enough after paying
her attorney, but somehow she just randomly paid a personal
property tax. I also don't think that someone
(15:54):
planning to end their life is concerned with bills.
Do y'all, an e-mail sent out on May 5th from Solid Rock Church
reads, QUOTE I, Charles Randall,by the authority vested in me as
overseer, hereby release Pastor John Paul Miller from all
ministerial functions for a timeof healing, counsel, and
(16:19):
guidance pursuant to our governing instrument signed
Charles Randall. Is this a church or a court?
Because that reads like a contract, like a motion.
What is going on at this church?It was also said online on May
(16:43):
6th that an affidavit would be coming out, and surely it has.
This is an affidavit filed by Micah's sister Sierra in regards
to the estate of Micah Miller. Because as it would appear,
since she had filed and initiated a divorce and the
(17:05):
splitting of marital assets, that filing can survive her
death and be carried out by her estate.
Isn't that something the more you know now her brother also
filed an affidavit, but I have the sisters here and I want to
read it to Y'all. This was filed with the probate
(17:27):
court and Horry, South Carolina.Now this is an affidavit in
support of Application for Appointment of Special
Administrator and it reads. Sierra Francis petitioner
personally appeared before me, Sierra Francis, who, after being
duly sworn, deposes and states as follows.
(17:49):
One, I am the petitioner in the proceedings which are pending
before the probate court as to the appointment of a special
administrator for my sister's estate.
Two I am Micah's younger sister,having been raised by our
parents, Michael Francis and Angelita Salas, with our
siblings Nathaniel, Destiny, Anna, and Abby 3.
(18:12):
We ultimately settled in Myrtle Beach, SC in 2007 with our mom
and stepdad 4. I was aware of Micah's family
dynamics and relationship with her husband, respondent John
Paul Miller, and stepchildren Selah, Asher, Logan, Eli, and
Zach 5. Micah and I spoke every few
(18:34):
days, texting daily so much as to even create playlists
together. Micah would drive to visit me
and my family in Gaffney, SC at least once a month.
Six I know my sister to have expressed the abuse and violence
against her by her husband to others, including family members
and members of the church congregation. 7 Micah told me
(18:58):
that there were people followingher, keeping track of where she
went. She thought that Mister Miller
had hired people to follow her. Mr. Miller later confirmed this.
During a sermon I watched, 8 Micah confided in me that Mister
Miller was moving assets that were in his name, such as his
vehicle, changing the deed to their house, to the church,
(19:20):
transferring interest in Crocodile Rocks to one of his
sons. 9 In February 2024, Mr. Miller removed my sister's
personal items from the home that they shared while she was
admitted to whack a Maw mental health facility and left them at
the apartment of Diana Niosi. My sister was not aware that her
personal possessions had been removed from her residence until
(19:43):
she was released from the hospital. 10 Prior to her
admission to Whack a Maw, Micah was gathering and sorting the
evidence she had to bring to an attorney for filing for divorce
to support her claims against Mr. Miller and as to his abuse.
Character. His paramours and associates he
(20:05):
quote, paid off and or blackmailed while at the
facility. Those documents, emails, files,
etcetera were removed from her phone, personal laptop, vehicle
and purse and never recovered. Further, Micah was unable to
access her iCloud account, e-mail, or Facebook profile.
(20:26):
Mr. Miller continued using at least one of Micah's accounts,
causing any recipient to believeit was Micah's communications.
11 Micah talked about what she wanted her life to be like
following her divorce from Mr. Miller, having traveled for a
church mission in the past fall.From October 15th through
October 27th, 2023, Micah was intending to participate in
(20:49):
additional missions, even to live part time in Kenya.
Michael recently shipped Micah recently shipped some of her
personal items to Kenya in preparation for her stay there.
12 My sister was hopeful for herfuture after filing for divorce
from John Paul. 13 My sister also expressed to me that she
(21:10):
was fearful that he that she would not make it to the divorce
and that her life would be takenfrom her.
It is my belief based on conversations with my sister
that she told multiple people, including other family members.
14 Micah stated to me on many occasions.
Quote if I end up with a bullet in my head, it was not by me, it
(21:35):
was JP End Quote and I just wantto read that one more time.
Micah stated to me on many occasions.
Quote if I end up with a bullet in my head, it was not by me, it
was JP. End Quote 15.
(21:56):
Micah forwarded a family group text message notifying us that
Mister Miller was served with divorce papers on April 25th
20/24/16. On April 27th, 2024, my sister
Micah A Miller was found dead asa result of a gunshot wound in
Libbert in Lumberton, NC 17. I have the full support of my
(22:22):
family and my request to be appointed as Special
Administrator. I take this request and my
potential appointment to this role very seriously and further.
Affiant Seth not sworn and subscribed before me this second
day of May 2024 and this is notarized and signed by her
(22:49):
sister. That's just that is
heartbreaking. Now it's also rumoured that this
has been granted and Micah's sister is now appointed the
administrator of her state. That has not yet been confirmed
but it is circling online. We have also come to find that
(23:15):
many sermons were recorded and posted to YouTube, seemingly now
scrubbed, but screen recordings live on forever.
On March 10, during his sermon, John Paul disclosed that he rode
through his wife's phone messages for the previous two
years. He discovered that 18 people had
(23:36):
contacted her, offering to keep their conversations about her
husband private. The pastor continued, clearly
agitated. Quote, that's a demon talking.
End Quote On the same day he stated quote one thing I'm going
to preach about is getting rich,strong, healthy, and finding a
hot wife that loves Jesus. End Quote while wearing his
(24:01):
wedding ring. John Paul later informed his
audience that his wife was hospitalized and that she left
him as soon as she was discharged.
Quote She gets out and she just leaves.
Just completely leaves me. Leaves everything, drains the
bank account and just goes, guess what?
(24:23):
While you're talking bad about me out there, I'm building a
school in Africa for over 100 kids to be able to be fed.
End Quote. That sounds like a narcissist if
I've ever heard one. And I mean honestly, I have to
ask what in the hell is going onat this church?
Who gave this man a microphone? And who are the people who come
(24:46):
to listen to his egotistical sermons?
Micah posted a video on March 22nd suggesting she was being
abused physically and mentally. She also says, quote, God hates
divorce, but how does God feel about abuse?
End Quote. She also suggests her husband
(25:08):
forced her to take illegal drugs.
Micah filed for spousal support on April 16th.
A hearing notice was sent out regarding Micah's request.
On April 23rd a June 5 court date was scheduled and on April
27th Micah Miller's body was discovered with a gunshot wound.
(25:30):
On April 28th John Paul Miller at the conclusion of the service
informed his congregation that his wife had died and that her
death her death was self-inflicted.
He also talked about her mental health condition to the
assembly. Sierra Francis, Micah Miller's
sister, who also is the one who petitioned the court with that
(25:53):
affidavit that I just read, wrote on Facebook again on April
28th, stating quote, don't listen to the false stories
being told about her. The church's website is also now
down When trying to visit the site, a banner reads quote, this
account has been suspended. End Quote.
(26:15):
As of the date of this recording, the investigation
into Micah Miller's death is ongoing and a manner of death
has not yet been announced by authorities.
Please keep this family in your prayers and please help spread
this story. Something about this just does
not sit right, and Micah Miller and her family deserve justice
(26:38):
if something nefarious happened to her and may anyone who had a
part in anything to do with her passing burn in hell.
