A Netflix series, ‘Death of the Pastor’s Wife,’ will premiere on August 26, 2026, to explore the mysterious death of Mica Francis Miller, a worship leader from Myrtle Beach, S.C. The series will chronicle the events leading up to her death and the fight for answers that continues today.
Background
Mica Miller’s death was reported in April 2024, and it captured the attention of a global audience. Her husband, John-Paul Miller, a former pastor, was indicted by federal authorities in December 2025 on charges of cyberstalking and making false statements to investigators.
According to authorities, John-Paul Miller engaged in a prolonged campaign of electronic harassment and surveillance of his wife, dating back to November 2022, until the day of her death. Mica Miller’s body was found in a swampy area of North Carolina’s Lumber River State Park, with a gunshot wound to the head.
Investigation and Aftermath
The investigation into Mica Miller’s death has raised doubts about the official ruling of suicide. John-Paul Miller’s announcement of his wife’s death from the pulpit, instructing congregants to leave quietly without discussing the matter, sparked widespread public concern and intense online speculation.
In addition to the ongoing federal investigation, John-Paul Miller’s case has prompted an array of civil suits. Authorities in Myrtle Beach have also taken another look at the death of Chris Skinner, a 41-year-old motivational speaker who drowned in a neighborhood pool in 2021.
