Months after Mica Miller’s body was discovered at Lumber River State Park in Lumberton, North Carolina, her pastor husband, John-Paul Miller, has broken his silence.
While appearing on Banfield Tonight with NewNation over the weekend, John-Paul addressed his wife’s death. He previously told his parish that Mica died by suicide one day after her body was discovered.
“I didn’t think it was real,” John-Paul Miller explained about the death of Mica. “I thought her family had made it up and had somebody call me and say that.”
Speaking about the day of Mica’s death, John-Paul stated he was in Charlotte with “about 100 people” from his children’s school. They were all attending a soccer tournament. He pointed out that he sent Mica “four emails that day.”
John-Paul Miller went on to say that Mica was previously on medication for her mental health. He claimed he warned her family “so many times” that she would end her life after failing to take her medication.
“You know, like you tell somebody something, and you tell them, you tell them, you tell them. Then, when it happens, you don’t want to say, ’I told you so,’ because it’s a horrible thing. That’s what I felt like,” John-Paul stated. “I told her family, there’s so many times you can’t imagine. I told her friends this.”
He noted that he told everybody about Mica’s struggles. “I said, ‘If y’all don’t get her lithium, she’s going to commit suicide.’”
