Siblings claim pastor husband forced involuntary mental health admission before Mica Miller's suicide

Mica Miller, a 30-year-old worship leader, was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound on April 27, 2024, two days after serving divorce papers to her husband, South Carolina pastor John-Paul "JP" Miller. Her siblings claim Miller arranged an involuntary admission to a mental-health facility against her wishes, describing it as part of a broader pattern of coercive control that included multiple hospitalizations, seizure of her vehicle, phone and laptop, and alleged emotional, sexual, spiritual, financial and physical abuse.

The Netflix documentary "Death of the Pastor’s Wife" relies on interviews with family, friends and a divorce attorney, while Miller declined to participate. He has not been charged in connection with her death but was indicted in December 2025 on federal cyberstalking and false-statement charges related to posting a nude photo, installing tracking devices, and other harassment. Miller pleaded not guilty and remains free on bond.
