The newly released audio recording revealed that Mica Miller, the estranged wife of a South Carolina pastor, made a 911 call before her own suicide. In the call, she expressed her intention to take her own life and wanted to ensure authorities could trace her phone to the location where she would be found. Miller claimed that her husband, Pastor John Paul, had abused her and threatened suicide during the call as well.
The Robeson County Sheriff’s Office released the audio recording in an effort to dispel any conspiracy theories surrounding Mica Miller’s death. In the call, she stated that she was about to kill herself and just wanted her family to know where to find her. She also asked the dispatcher if they were able to trace the location of her phone and provided her phone number. Miller mentioned that she was at a national park and shared her location with the dispatcher.
Despite the rumors and conspiracy theories surrounding Mica Miller’s death, the sheriff’s office emphasized that John Paul Miller and another woman he was involved with were not in North Carolina at the time of her death. The pastor was reportedly at an athletic event in Charleston, South Carolina on the day his spouse was found dead. The authorities conducted a methodical investigation into the incident and stated that the evidence pointed towards suicide as the cause of death.
Deputies found a handgun in the water near the crime scene at the state park during a search. The authorities also provided a timeline of events leading up to Miller’s death, including her leaving the house, purchasing a gun at a store, and going to the state park. Prior to her death, Miller reportedly told her family that if she were ever found dead, her husband would be behind it. She had also allegedly shared her experiences of abuse with her relatives and church members.
John Paul Miller, the pastor, disclosed the news of his wife’s death during a church service and requested congregants not to discuss it inside the church. He mentioned that his wife had struggled with mental illnesses. The couple had met when Mica was a teenager and had been going through legal proceedings to separate. If you are facing suicidal thoughts, it is important to seek help from resources such as the National Suicide Prevention hotline or website.
