UPDATE: Myrtle Beach Pastor John-Paul Miller faces federal indictment for a shocking 528 days of cyberstalking his estranged wife, Mica Miller, who tragically took her own life in April 2024. New reports confirm that Miller’s abusive behavior, which included harassment, intimidation, and manipulation, persisted from November 16, 2022, until her death.
