'Death of a Pastor's Wife' Netflix

Key Points:

• Mica Miller, wife of South Carolina pastor John-Paul Miller, died by suicide on April 27, 2024, after calling 911 from a North Carolina state park expressing a desire for her family to find her; she was found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
• The couple, who married in 2017 after an affair that began in 2015, presented a façade of a perfect marriage, but family, friends, and church members alleged JP Miller was manipulative, controlling, and abusive, including demands for frequent sex and restrictions on Mica’s social interactions.
• Following Mica’s death, the FBI investigated JP Miller’s home in November 2024, seizing evidence related to the case; Solid Rock church, where JP preached, was sold in February 2025 amid protests and rebranded as Mercy Church.
• JP Miller was federally indicted in December 2025 on charges of cyberstalking and making false statements, accused of posting nude photos of Mica without consent, using tracking devices, and harassing her; he is out on bond and faces trial in October 2026, pleading not guilty.
• JP Miller has not been charged in connection with Mica Miller’s death, and he attributed her death to mental health struggles, including bipolar disorder, while family and friends maintain allegations of abuse and manipulation.
