JP Miller on Mica Miller in Unaired Interviews: “I’m the Only One Who Tried to Keep Her Alive”
Criminally ObsessedShow Notes
You asked for the full JP Miller interviews and now you're getting them — this Mica Miller interview special shares both unaired JP Miller interviews in order. Reporter Mike Owen sat down with South Carolina pastor JP Miller twice in 2024 after the death of his wife Mica Miller on April 27th, 2024, and ABC 15 News in Myrtle Beach only aired a few soundbites out of caution before any public allegations or charges.
In this episode of Criminally Obsessed, investigative reporter Anne Emerson gives you both interviews in order mostly unedited, starting with the short first interview weeks after her death when church leaders abruptly ended it and told Mike to turn off the camera and then the second interview a couple months later that Mike describes as the weirdest and hardest interview he's ever done after JP started texting him practically every morning. You'll hear JP in his own words about being married to Mica, who he blames for her death, and his answer when asked if he ever abused her.
JP Miller is charged with cyberstalking and making false statements to investigators. He pleaded not guilty and is not charged with anything in connection to Mica's death.

Mike Owen was the first reporter to interview pastor John Paul "JP" Miller after the news broke that his wife, Mica Miller, was dead. Owen says what followed was months of daily texts from Miller, a binder of documents, and a sit-down JP Miller interview in which, according to Owen, Miller didn't seem to remember who he was.
