Micah Miller was the wife of South Carolina pastor John Paul Miller before her alleged suicide, but her family and community are skeptical.
Micah, just 30 years old, was found dead at a state park in North Carolina on April 27th from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Her medical examiner ruled her death a suicide.
But according to an affidavit filed by Micah’s sister, her family questions this conclusion and blames Micah’s husband for the alleged abuse. Her sister remembers Micah telling her “many times” that “if I get a bullet in my head, it’s not my fault. It was JP.”
The day after Micah died, her husband preached and explained that his wife had committed suicide and that she was not mentally well.
Allie Beth StuckeyA devout Christian himself, he is troubled by his sermon videos.
“Personally, I think this is a very strange way to announce the death of my wife. I can’t read the motive or what it actually means now, but I think it’s a very strange way to announce the death of my wife. It seems a little strange when you look at it,” Stuckey explains.
A few days before her apparent suicide, Micah filed for divorce and requested a no-contact order against her husband. This is not the first time she has filed for divorce, she had also filed for divorce in October last year citing infidelity, but her case was dismissed.
She also called police multiple times in the weeks leading up to her death because of slashed tires and finding tracking devices on her car. John Paul admitted in a message that he slashed his tire.
John Paul also has a somewhat checkered past. In 1999, he was convicted of twice crashing his pickup truck into a woman who was filling sandbags near his home because of flooding. After the woman asked him to slow down, the man accelerated and plowed into her, dragging her 100 meters down the road.
When John Paul divorced his first wife (with whom he had an affair with Micah), his wife stated in the divorce papers that John Paul had ordered her and other church officials to include underage girls he had met at church. He claimed that he had confessed to having had a sexual relationship with. Addiction to prostitutes.
“I just want people to know the truth,” Stuckey says. “There are a lot of troubling details about this. There are a lot of disturbing parts.”
The truth behind Micah’s death is unknown, but Stuckey knows one thing for sure.
“He should never have been a pastor. He should never have been a church leader.”
