Ever since our media outlet exclusively reported on the supposed suicide of South Carolina pastor’s wife Mica Miller, America has become obsessed with this case – and obsessed with uncovering the truth about what led to her untimely demise.
Over the last two weeks, our news team has continued to dig deep into this story as official reports about Miller’s death (here and here) have collided with accounts (here and here) of her allegedly abusive marriage to John-Paul “JP” Miller, pastor of the Solid Rock at Market Common church in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
Miller’s body was found on Saturday April 27, 2024 at the Lumber River State Park in North Carolina. According to friends and family members, her husband – who has been cleared as a suspect in the case – allegedly abused and “brainwashed” his wife in the months leading up to her death.

Rumors have run wild … and questions continue outpacing answers as it relates to the official narrative of what transpired (and who is involved in the investigation).
Today, in an effort to learn more about this story, our research director Jenn Wood (jenn@fitsnews.com) and reporter Andy Fancher (andy@fitsnews.com) are retracing Mica Miller’s final voyage on the day she died. Their work will appear in multiple formats in the days, weeks and months to come – including a new FITSFiles podcast series.
In the meantime, though, you can keep track of their journey (and of Mica’s final journey) via this live feed …

“…obsessed… is the right word. Maybe the feds are involved because the events cross state lines and it was a slow crime day?
Dude’s texts read like that of a meth head. What was the bad decision? Affair? Drug bender? Some other degenerate stuff?
How could anyone listen to this guy preach the gospel? I’m surprised he doesn’t burst into flames just opening it up.
If Donald Trump autographing Bible does not result in a lightning bolt, I am guessing that doesn’t happen.

The FBI won’t be investigating anything to do with Mica’s death. All they will focus on is money. The Miller financial footprint is what they’re scrutinizing. Nothing more and nothing less.
I listened to the interview with Lauren Taylor – who addressed and answered many of the questions I had regarding “why this/why that” in the legal procedures in South Carolina. The Francis family would benefit greatly by retaining Lauren Taylor – or at least consult with her. These “Christian” family monopolies such as the Miller family stronghold are nothing new. I was briefly part of a similar church stronghold in Ft. Myers, Florida. Same scenario. Church with adjacent children’s academy, K-12. The family run church was set up the same way – and the distorted “umbrella of authority” was in full application. And, I too totally believed the leadership was instructing us, the flock, rightly. Valid Christianity does take personal, individual study of God’s Word and spending individual time pursuing learning just who God is. That said – in watching some of the videos Mica made not long before she died, she had put the pieces together and was realizing that what was being preached wasn’t in line with the character of God at all. Add the JP perverted twists, manipulations, fiduciary discrepancies of the church/school, etc. and you’ve got a real mess.
Mica’s not the first death to be a direct result of “wolves in sheep’s clothing” – there have been many other “deaths” that have been ruled accidental or suicide in other church organizations that are similar to the ideology of Solid Rock Church and Academy. It’s about power, control, and money. Why is this getting attention now? The difference is technology. The death of the church membber that occurred here in Ft. Myers was back in 1999. Before smart phones, before texting, before social media platforms, etc. Just the local police, and, it was accidental of course.
