After the Netflix documentary "Death of the Pastor's Wife", Mica Miller's loved ones began to publicly speak out more – sharing new details and demanding justice. Investigative journalist Robbie Harvey, who has spoken with many of Mica's friends and family, says they are opening up because they are no longer afraid, and he says more charges and more allegations are on their way.
30-year-old Mica Miller called 911 on April 27, 2024. She told the 911 operator she was going to kill herself. Her body was found hours later at Lumber River State Park in North Carolina. But many questioned the bizarre circumstances around the day she died. Her husband and pastor, John-Paul Miller, was later charged with Cyberstalking and giving false statements to investigators in December 2025. He pleaded not guilty.
In this episode of Criminally Obsessed, investigative reporter Anne Emerson sits down with Robbie Harvey, host of The Robbie Harvey podcast, and asks him about the inside details he knows, the charges he expects will soon come, and the allegations he's been told by people close to this tragic story.
