Mica Miller case records center on the 30-year-old’s April 27, 2024 911 call from a North Carolina state park, where she asked the dispatcher to trace her location. She said, “I want my family to find me,” before authorities later found her body in a river and ruled her death a suicide caused by a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Mica Miller’s final call
Mica Miller, who was 30, bought a gun at Dick's Pawn Shop in Myrtle Beach before driving to the park and placing the call. In the audio, she said, “I’m about to kill myself and I want my family to find me.” That detail is the anchor in a case that moved from a private crisis into a wider public record the moment officials tied the death to the gunshot wound.
The sequence is unusually clear. She filed for separation on April 15, 2024, then moved out and stayed with Dianna Niosi. On the day she died, she told Niosi she was heading to work, then left South Carolina, bought the gun, and called 911 after reaching North Carolina. For readers trying to follow the timeline, the final call matters because it fixes both the place and the intent behind the last known contact.
John-Paul Miller response
JP Miller announced her death at Solid Rock the next day and told the congregation, “She wasn't well mentally.” He also said, “She needed her medication that was hard to get to her,” “I'm sure there will be more details to come,” and “Just keep our family in your prayers.”
That response sits beside a competing account that has kept the case in circulation. Netflix’s Death of a Pastor’s Wife follows the early relationship between Mica Miller and JP Miller and includes interviews with family members, friends and former church members who alleged manipulation, deception, infidelity and abuse. JP Miller denied any abuse and said Mica Miller struggled with mental health issues, including a bipolar disorder diagnosis.
FBI on Nov. 1, 2024
On Nov. 1, 2024, the FBI investigated JP Miller. That date puts federal attention on the case months after the death ruling and after the public conversation had already widened beyond the original 911 call.
For anyone following the Mica Miller case now, the practical takeaway is simple: the official death ruling is settled, but the dispute over what led to it is still the part drawing scrutiny. The most urgent unanswered question is what prompted the FBI investigation of JP Miller on Nov. 1, 2024, because that is the point where the private allegations and the public record stop lining up cleanly.
