Original subtitles

I grew up thinking that there was something terribly wrong with me.

[unsettling music rises]

Every preacher worth their salt uses personal experience in the pulpit.

I probably had the worst childhood you could imagine

'cause I was hurt, growing up, by Christian people.

In church. Like, that was the…

If you're gonna be hurt, let an atheist hurt me or something.

Let some agnostic devil worshipper, but not a Christian.

That's the worst… And I grew up hating Christians…

[Pam] By the time I met JP,

he and his father were estranged.

Dr. Miller had been a pastor in Myrtle Beach.

His dad had already had a number of legal issues.

And questionable circumstances happened.

He expressed that he had been a victim

to his father's passions and… and own weaknesses.

Everywhere we go, we are asked to submit

and come under some type of human authority in our life.

His father had many outside relationships, outside of his marriage.

Some with men, some with women.

[voice breaking] There's no such thing as the perfect earthly dad!

Um, my dad never got Father of the Year Award. Not even once.

[Pam] I mistakenly believed he was authentic

in his desire to serve God's people.

[emotionally] I wish that I had known

the level of deception that was going on.

JP and Wayne seemed to be, to me, very different people.

But I find it difficult to not recognize the patterns.

As more and more of this came out, I knew I had been entirely wrong.

[tearfully] You can't keep me down.

-You're putting fuel in my plane. -[churchgoer exclaims]

And guess who's not gonna be in the plane? My enemies.

[unsettling music peaks, fades]

[gulls calling]

[Bruna] I met Mica on the beach to do our Bible study together.

She served JP the papers that day.

She said, "I can't wait till this year's over."

And she was really happy to be moving past this.

[Sierra] It was a mass text Mica had sent to Nate, Abby, and myself.

"John-Paul was just served."

Don't wanna cry. [laughs, sniffles]

When people get served papers, they usually get pretty upset.

[lock clicks]

[Bruna] I am so scared for her.

[Regina] Mica was scared.

She needed a restraining order to stop him from following her around,

contacting her incessantly.

And part of gettin' a restraining order is we have to prove to the court

that she needs it.

Now, this is Mica's handwriting.

Mica wrote these… these two pages.

[Mica] Paid three homeless people to engage in threesome.

Shown picture of my naked body in sexual postures

to members of Solid Rock.

Injecting me with the hormone testosterone

so that I could "keep up" with John-Paul's sex drive.

I am afraid he will harm me due to past gun violence.

[Regina] Mica made it very clear that it was important to her

to expose the things that he had done to her.

Mica's hearing was not set until June 5.

Way too far out.

Too much time in between there.

With no restraining orders, nothing to stop him,

Mica was under a lot of stress.

She had no idea what… what was he gonna do

after he got served the paperwork?

Is it gonna shut him down? Is it gonna make him worse?

Is he gonna ramp it up?

[Dianna] Around nine o'clock in the morning,

I started hearing Mica a little bit in her room.

And she was talking on the phone.

Mica called, and she was upset.

Dealing with so much.

She got a job, but she was scared John-Paul was gonna show up.

I prayed with her over the phone just to try to help calm her down.

That was the end of the conversation.

[Dianna] Mica came out of the bedroom, maybe about 9:30, quarter to ten.

She got herself a cup of coffee.

I walked over to her, put my arms around her,

and gave her a hug and said, "Let's pray," and so we prayed.

She said, "I'm gonna go for a little ride, and I'll be back soon."

She did have to be to work at 12 noon at J Peters, the restaurant

up in Carolina Forest, that day,

and so she said she'd be back in time to get ready for work.

When she came back I said, "Are you okay? How are you doing?"

She said, "I'm good. I'm better."

"I'm gonna change and go to work."

[Cloud] When I get into this and I start to… to look at what the scriptures say,

I came across this passage, and here it is.

You might… Remember the song by The Byrds?

♪ Turn, turn, turn To everything, there's a season ♪

[Sierra] Mica called me.

My daughter was asleep on me when she called.

I didn't want her to wake up.

I texted her and said, "Sorry I missed your call."

"I had my volume down."

She never called me back.

[eerie music playing]

[operator] Robeson County 911. What's the address of your emergency?

[Mica] Hi, um, are you able to trace the location of my phone?

I'm about to… kill myself

and… I just want my family to know where to find me.

[operator] Just listen to what I'm saying, okay?

Let me make sure I got the exact location where you're at, okay?

Just one minute.

-[call disconnects] -[line buzzes]

[Dianna] A couple of hours passed after she should have been home.

My heart started pounding.

I texted her to ask her if she was okay.

Didn't hear back from her.

[operator] 911. What's the address of your emergency?

[man] Um, I think I just found a body in the water down there.

[somber music rises]

Hello, Ms. Niosi.

-Did I say your last name right? -[Dianna] Yes.

Okay.

The officer from Robeson County said to me,

"Do you know a Mica Miller and a John-Paul Miller?"

And I said, "Yes."

He said, "I need John-Paul Miller's phone number. Do you have it?"

I said, "Well, what's happening? What's going on?"

And he said to me,

"Mica Miller has been found deceased."

And I just kept saying, "No. No. No. Can't be. No."

I finally was able to say, "What happened?"

"Can you tell me what happened?"

He said, "I can tell you it was not an accident."

Shortly after that,

Suzie Skinner's name came up on my phone.

I answered. It was JP.

I was absolutely shocked out of my shoes.

He said, "What happened?" I said, "Don't know."

And then he said, "I gotta go," and hung up.

[Nate] We were sitting on the couch, and the cops called me.

I just got lightheaded.

[crying] I didn't know what to think. I was hoping it was a bad dream.

[sniffles]

[Nate] First thought that came to my mind was, "What did John-Paul do?"

[Sierra] Nate called me.

Just started punching holes in my wall in my kitchen.

And then I just sat on the floor and cried.

[Destinee] I just felt like the floor got dropped out from underneath of me.

How much time passes, I don't even know.

My phone lit up, and I was like, "Who's texting me this late?"

And my fiancé was like, "What's wrong?"

And I said, "Mica's dead."

[group] ♪ Happy birthday, dear Mica ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

[ominous music rises]

[Sierra] And then John-Paul texted our group chat and said,

"This is what happens

whenever you tell a mentally ill person they don't need medicine

and keep them from the one person who cares about them."

[Laura] My phone texts are going off.

And I get, "Hey, Laura. This is Pastor JP Miller."

"I thought you should know Mica killed herself earlier today."

"She needed her lithium

because she had been having a three-month psychotic episode."

"I told everyone I could that she wasn't acting normal,

but nobody believed me."

It came crushing over me that this is not God's will.

This is not God's timing.

This is man's manipulation, man's deception.

[Bruna] I had a missed call from Victoria.

Mica was found dead with a gunshot wound to the head.

And I… I lost it.

She said, "I do not want to die."

"I want to live. I want to honor God."

"And he's going to kill me."

That's exactly her words.

[Erica] Mark Kaufman had texted me

and very bluntly said, "Mica killed herself."

And I immediately called Charlotte

and had to tell Charlotte. [crying]

[Charlotte] It was kind of an out-of-the-blue call

at like 12:30 at night.

I just didn't believe it.

I was in… in total shock.

My husband and I get a text from John-Paul.

[Erica] Then the next thing I knew, my husband told me that John-Paul

was still gonna preach a sermon.

And I said, "I can't believe that he would get up and preach."

"That doesn't make any sense."

[churchgoers cheering]

[JP] Good afternoon.

So, I wrote a new parody for y'all today.

[churchgoers cheer]

My best friend, Mark…

I've been begging him for 25 years to stand up and sing,

so it's the first time ever in the history of Mark Kaufman's career…

♪ I did take the rest of my life ♪

♪ Now I've finally found What I was searching for ♪

-♪ In the middle of my life ♪ -♪ In the middle of my life ♪

[playing jazzy solo to tune of "The River of Dreams"]

It just got stranger and stranger from there.

When I read the Bible, I see the thing like a Steven Spielberg movie.

I can see every detail. I can hear the music playing.

You know, I can… When Goliath showed up, it's like the Jaws music.

[sings Jaws theme] I picture the whole thing.

[unsettling music playing]

We're not gonna do an altar call today.

Instead, um…

Instead, I'm gonna have you stand up, and I'm gonna make an announcement.

And after the announcement, I'm gonna ask

that you, um, leave church quietly

and don't talk about the announcement here in the building.

[voice breaking] Um, I got a call late last night.

-My wife has passed away. -[churchgoers murmur]

Yeah. And it was self-induced, and it was, uh, up in North Carolina.

And, um, we're gonna have a funeral for her next Sunday, here at 3:00 p.m.

Y'all pray for me and my kids and everybody.

And, uh, she wasn't… Y'all knew that she wasn't well mentally.

And that, uh, she needed her medicine that was hard to get to her.

And so, um, I'm sure there'll be more details to come.

But just keep our family in your prayers.

And I'm gonna let Pastor Randall, my bishop… He can pray.

If I get a microphone. He'll pray you out.

If you have anything you wanna share as well, uh… Bishop.

Come on. Let's pray. [clicks tongue] Father God, in the name of Jesus.

God, we pray now, oh God, for this congregation.

We pray for Pastor Miller…

[tense music rises]

John-Paul was preaching it was a suicide before the coroner's report was even out.

We wanted to make sure that the police did an investigation.

[Abigail] Robeson County had come

to Myrtle Beach to speak to us as a family.

They only interviewed Nate and Sierra.

They put me in one car and Nate in another area

and just asked us like, "Who do we think did this?"

"Do we have any, like, information of why something would have happened to her?"

We just said, "Yes. She's in the middle of a divorce."

"This has been a really dangerous situation."

Mica was being watched 24/7, being stalked.

I provided the videos and the pictures of the caltrops, the trackers.

[tense music rising]

[Sierra] And they said, "We're doing everything we can."

"We're gonna make sure that we look under every rock."

"And we turn every stone."

They reassured us that there was gonna be some justice.

[mournful music playing]

[Dianna] John-Paul was so anxious to get some of her writings

and some of her journals.

I knew that he was going to destroy them or deny that they existed.

So I called Nathan, and I said,

"I think you need to get over here as quickly as you can."

"Because John-Paul wants to come and pick up some things."

[Abigail] I get to Dianna's house. My brother's already there.

He's packing all of Mica's stuff.

We were just making sure if there was anything

that would have led to her passing that we could possibly find.

We feel behind her headboard,

see if there's anything that she might have taped.

Look underneath her dresser.

Pull apart her bed.

See if there's anything between mattresses.

We grabbed anything that we thought would be important.

And… we left.

Myrtle Beach Police and Fire. This is Carly.

[JP] My wife, she passed away a few days ago.

And some of her belongings are in an apartment,

and the lady that owns the apartment won't let me get that stuff.

Is there any way I could have an officer meet me

so I can just get a few of her belongings?

[Carly] Is there a reason they're saying you can't get the belongings?

[JP] Yeah, it's an old lady that has the apartment.

And she just doesn't like me. She just… just… just doesn't like me.

Not five minutes after they left, I got a call from the front office

that said Mr. Miller was there with a police officer

and wanted to come and get Mica's things.

And I said, "No, it's not okay with me."

"I do not have a single thing that belongs to Mica in my home anymore."

[phone chimes]

[Laura] JP reached out,

wanting to collect all my notes on my time with Mica.

And he made it sound official and clinical,

and he was gonna come collect the notes, and where was my office located?

I shared with him that I didn't have notes.

And even when Mica and I met, there were times we shredded things

because we really wanted them gone forever.

That caught him off guard that I didn't have notes for him.

He asked me, "When is the last time Mica spoke with you?"

I said, "I'll have to check my calendar."

And then he says, "Did Mica share with you her phone number?"

"Would you mind telling me which number?"

"I'd like to know if it was her burner or not."

"And I'd like to know as to what level she trusted you."

And then he follows up with,

"The police asked me as well. They're investigating the death."

"Even though it all points to suicide."

He is trying to take access of every communication

she could have possibly had with any person.

So he can end her narrative and start his narrative.

[birds singing]

[phone ringing]

[Regina] John-Paul Miller called my office incessantly.

This is Attorney Regina Ward. Can I help you?

Hey, Regina. This is John-Paul Miller. How are you?

[Regina] Um, I've had better days.

[JP] Yeah, me too. Me too. Definitely.

Um, my wife's Mica Miller. I think she hired you a few weeks ago.

[Regina] You don't think she hired me. You know she hired me,

because you got served a lawsuit two days before she died.

[JP] Yes. That's correct.

[Regina] Okay, so let's get the facts straight.

What do you want?

[JP] I think, the way you're treating me, you're unaware of exactly…

She left out things when she spoke to you…

The mental institute and the suffering.

[Regina] I was gonna say, you wanna fill in the gaps for me?

[JP, tearfully] Yes, ma'am. I'd love to. So, we had an amazing marriage, um…

[Regina] That's a lie.

[JP] No, it was phenomenal. We have… I have every proof in the world

that she loved everything about her life.

When she's on her medicine, she's the most integrate,

excellent, perfect…

She would never even text a male

outside of a group with me when she's on medicine.

But when she came off, she was a completely different person, and…

And, um, uh… she tried to kill herself many times over the years before,

and, um, and I was able to stop her and get her the… get her the lithium

and get her to her doctor…

[whimpering] But this time, she left.

And I told everybody I have probably… I have about… about 45 text messages

when I told them she needs lithium,

and somebody's gotta get her to a hospital, and nobody believed me.

[sighs, exhales sharply]

I'm sorry. And, um… she wouldn't do it, and so, I kept telling everybody.

I told the lady she was with, "She's gonna crash."

"I've seen it. It's happened before."

They did the toxicology report. It'll be ready in three weeks--

[Regina] Well, that's the toxicology report.

Were you gonna have 'em do an autopsy too? Just to make sure?

[JP] Um, they didn't ask me about that. I don't know what that m…

I don't know what that would mean or do. I don't understand.

[Regina] Usually autopsy tells a little bit more about things.

[JP] No, we gave away her eyes, and, um…

They're doing a toxicology. That's all I know about that.

And I got to see her body, uh, Sunday night, you know.

And spend some time with her, and…

So… You've seen her, so you know how incredibly beautiful she was.

Even in her death, he put a lock on her.

He had everything just planned within days of her passing.

John-Paul was rushing to get her cremated.

And then he rushed the funeral, memorial service.

Of course, that's a red flag to us.

My siblings are like, "No, we're not gonna go."

"We'll figure out another way to honor Mica."

[tense music playing]

Um…

You know, I… I've been, um…

[hesitating] I've been, uh, speaking for many years,

and for the first time, I don't really know exactly…

you know, how to open, or how to close, or any of that.

Um… [clicks tongue]

But, um, she loved… She told me…

To take… She… she was so creative.

Everything she did was so creative. What's the next picture?

[sobbing]

I got this.

Laid next to her body and spent time with her body about four times this week.

And each time, it still didn't hit me.

Um, I thought she was gonna wake up, you know?

I even tried to raise her from the dead one time this week.

Um, I'm so sorry that I'm nervous. I'm so sorry. I just, um…

I just… I still… It hasn't really still hit me yet.

[Regina] The Robeson County Sheriff's Department

closed the investigation.

It was ruled a suicide.

We go get a debrief from them.

[Abigail] There were screenshots of Mica's phone

of how to get to the pawn shop where she had purchased the gun.

And she googled "national park."

[unsettling music playing]

[Nate] It's so hard to understand.

I just could not accept it.

[Anna] And they said that the inflictions coincided with suicide.

We just couldn't believe it.

I feel like Mica was lured to where she was found.

I just have a gut instinct that she did not do this to herself.

I think something happened.

Somebody killed her and tried to make it look like a suicide.

I believe she bought the firearm for protection.

For her to drive an hour and a half into the middle of nowhere

makes absolute zero sense.

[Charlotte] She would not have done it.

He knew that if she was going to divorce him

that he would lose the church again.

And that's why she's dead.

We have not had time to grieve because we've been seeking justice.

And we're still in the stage of fighting.

We are still fighting for Mica. We are still fighting for answers.

This isn't done. We will figure things out.

And it's all in God's timing.

[ominous music playing]

I fully believe that John-Paul, in the core of his body,

thought that all of this was gonna blow over.

And that he was gonna be able to control everything in the church

and control everything with our family.

He really didn't think anybody was going to stand up to him.

Mica Miller's family and friends want to know what happened to her.

The investigation into the sudden death of a popular South Carolina pastor's wife.

John-Paul Miller reportedly telling his congregation she took her own life.

But her family is demanding answers.

It got to a point every time I opened up social media,

it was a video about Mica.

She filed for divorce and a protective order.

Now her husband is claiming that she took her own life.

It got bigger and bigger.

More disturbing information on John-Paul has come out.

On March 11, she called the police twice on JP Miller.

We're talking about the 911 call with Mica Miller.

I'm just gonna say that JP Miller was in no way prepared

for the internet community.

The fact that that man didn't shed one tear.

He didn't wince once.

And let's get into why I believe he is lying.

[man] This story exploded in interest.

And I thought, this is a story I have to look into more.

If my wife was found dead,

I almost certainly would not be in front of a… a congregation of people

the next day, announcing that she had taken her life.

I made phone calls to her family and people who knew her well.

And instantly, they said, "Something is not right here."

And I got on a plane to be there the next day.

Usually, in situations where a spouse winds up dead,

you have to pay close attention because these divorce proceedings

can be triggering events.

The fact that she had filed for divorce and was trying to leave her husband,

to me, was another confirmation that all may not be as it appears here.

Nate shared with me an affidavit written by Mica.

It was like a, uh… a roadmap from the grave.

[Mica] I was 13 years old when I met John-Paul Miller as my pastor.

Since the day we became husband and wife,

I have been abused in every way I can think of.

Emotionally, sexually, spiritually, financially, and physically.

Does abuse hurt people? How do you think God feels about that?

[Rich] When I saw some of the videos that she'd posted,

I was trying to assemble like a picture

in my mind of what her past couple months looked like.

Life's been kinda crazy the couple past weeks,

months, uh, years.

[Rich] I decided I wanna retrace Mica's steps to the best that I could.

She went to Dick's Pawn Shop in Myrtle Beach.

She left Dick's Pawn Shop, got back in the car,

started driving north to Mullins, South Carolina,

where she stopped at a gas station,

and continued north towards Lumber River State Park.

It's kind of an eerie place.

Hours away from Myrtle Beach, so why go there?

When police find Mica's body,

she is face down in the river.

They find two spent casings and a live round on the bank of the river.

Her body was found 100 feet away.

The stretch of water where she was found has very little current,

making it unusual for a body to drift that far.

How does a body wind up 100 feet away

from where the spent casings were on the bank?

A lot of this just doesn't really add up.

I was always texting with JP,

always hoping that he will sit down with me, and,

finally, he said, "All right, I'm… I'm in."

He seemed a bit nervous.

He had brought a binder with him.

[JP] This is the paper that her, um… Waccamaw Mental Health used.

to get probate court to have a sheriff to pick her up.

And it says she's homicidal and suicidal, uh,

making threats of suicide and bodily harm.

[Rich] He called it his "evidence." "This is my truth" type of thing.

I'm gonna be fair here.

Like, I'm just gonna give… give him the floor.

Before I even asked a question, he started crying,

almost uncontrollably.

[JP sniffles]

[Rich] You need a minute?

-[unsettling music playing] -[JP crying]

Oh, man.

Oh, man.

I was just, like, looking at my crew, looking at the producer,

just waiting for him to kind of cry this out.

[Rich] What's tripping you up?

Just… being able to tell…

Just being able to talk about everything…

It feels like that… people don't care to hear the truth.

They just, um…

They just wanna go off of feelings and

believe whoever screams the loudest,

rather than whoever has the proof.

So I asked him, um,

"Do you feel that you have any responsibility for Mica's death?"

And that question,

uh, set him off.

He goes, "Oh my God! That's just a great question!"

God, that's a great question!

[clears throat] Man! That's such a good question!

-Wow. Good question. Can I have a second? -[Rich] Sure.

Okay. Oh my gosh, that's such a good question.

What would I do differently? Oh man. Oh! I know what I'd do!

I know what I'd do. I know.

I would not involve her family when she's having mental episodes.

I would never have texted them.

One of the things that John-Paul was trying to lie on our family about

was that we told her not to take medication.

I'm pretty sure John-Paul's the only person

that's kept medication from her.

Whenever she had talked to our family

about possibly weaning herself off of her medication,

we all told her, "You need to seek medical advice."

Where were you when Mica died?

I was… It was on a Saturday.

In Charleston with about 100 people.

It was a soccer tournament. I mean, I'm not a detective.

I watched Scooby Doo growing up, but… that's what everybody's acting like,

is they're being a part of the Mystery Machine.

But, my Lord, like, let my wife… let her… let her be at peace.

After all the time spent reporting on this case,

none of it really sits well with me.

If it was a suicide, if she did take her own life,

what led her to that?

When you look at the full picture,

it feels less like a woman simply choosing to end her life

and more like someone who is trying to get away

from an abusive relationship and couldn't.

A phrase that I've come to accept

is the phrase "murder by suicide."

There is some level of responsibility on the other person.

In this case, John-Paul Miller.

-[Nate] What do we want? -[group] Justice for Mica!

-[Nate] When do we want it? -[group] Now!

[Rich] The community was now starting to see who JP really was.

[Bruna] I believe that he could have pushed her

to a point where she felt there was no way out.

All that torture and abuse

is what led her to her death because he couldn't let her go.

[woman] Break the silence!

-[group] Break the silence! -[woman] Break the silence!

[Charlotte] The only person that's responsible for that day,

regardless of who pulled the trigger, is John-Paul.

It's his fault she's gone.

[group chanting] Mica's blood is on your hands!

[crowd jeering]

[woman] Coward!

You know, I… [splutters]

All the abuse that, um…

people are, um…

throwing at me, uh…

I just pray none of you y'all have to go through anything like this.

[interviewer] As of today, no charges have been brought against JP.

We've heard that the FBI opened an investigation.

Have they contacted you?

I don't know how much I should say.

Don't look at me.

Well, it's just… There's…

You know, the… the investigation is still open.

We didn't know what the FBI was actually looking into,

but honestly, we just hoped it would bring some kind of justice for Mica.

[interviewer] Did you speak to the FBI?

I did speak to the FBI.

[interviewer] Did you talk to the FBI?

Mm-hmm.

I shared them, everything I had.

Uh, pictures, messages…

[Regina] I was contacted by the FBI.

They wanted me to provide information and materials to them

related to Mica and the allegations that she had made against Mr. Miller.

I literally turned over everything in my office.

All of my documentation, my notes, conversations in Mica's journals,

and all the evidence that she had collected.

And I downloaded all 511 of John-Paul Miller's sermons.

And saved them.

And he always said, "I don't preach about anything

unless it's happening in my life."

[Laura] The gentleman reached out to me from the FBI.

He asked me if I still was in good standing with JP.

And I said, "Well, I'm not in bad standing."

"I think he would talk to me."

He shared with me about this ruse.

"We need JP to leave his home."

"And we've been monitoring, but he's not leaving."

"We're gonna ask you to see if he'll meet you."

I don't think I had a hesitation.

I sent a text to JP.

"Hi. Hope you're doing well."

"As I'm clearing out notes and had responded back in August

that I'm not required to keep formal documents

with biblical/discipleship counseling,

I'm thinking you may be the best person for these

if you still want them."

"Hey, Laura. It's JP. I would love anything you have."

"Let me know where I can pick them up, and I'll be there."

He suggested the Starbucks.

[tense music playing]

[police siren wailing]

The FBI served a search warrant today

at the home of Solid Rock pastor John-Paul Miller.

[reporter] Around 4:30, we saw as FBI officials

walked out with boxes filled with items,

a computer or small TV screen,

and what looked to be an external computer server.

[crowd chanting] You can't hide from the FBI!

The FBI agents had told me, clearly, JP would know it was me.

When it was over,

I just wanted to know.

I said, "Well, what did he say?"

One of the guys said, [scoffs] "He said, 'You used Mica's counselor?'"

I hope what comes of the FBI investigation is that he is finally held accountable.

I think justice for Mica, at this point, just looks like the truth.

I wanna see John-Paul held accountable for whatever he did.

Actual legal consequences.

And I want him to… stop parading as a pastor.

[JP] No, I did not slash the tire.

I think her tire got something ran over, from what I understand.

I don't think there was a naked picture of her. Ever.

That was a made-up thing.

[unsettling music rises]

It is unbelievable to know that now, Mica Miller's dead.

Chris Skinner's dead, and JP Miller and Suzie Skinner are together.

[Tamra] First reaction was, finally, they're telling the truth.

But… the other part of me was completely disappointed.

It validated

the years of lies that my family and I have received.

It angers you. It does.

And I believe everybody deserves to move on.

Not like this.

[Charlotte] Solid Rock Church, the actual building,

I think I heard it was actually for sale.

But the actual members of the church and John-Paul are meeting

at these little random locations in Myrtle Beach.

One place was even called The Rat Hole, which was perfect.

He probably has 15, 20 people that still attend.

And Suzie's leading worship.

[bright music playing]

[Sierra] When the charges came up against him

for cyberstalking and harassment,

part of me was like, "Yes, we got him on something."

And the other half was like, "Okay, well, is that it?"

[Nate] These charges only reflect a fraction of what he did to her.

People need to remember that this isn't just a story.

This is the story about a real person.

[Sierra] That man tortured our sister in every way possible,

including twisting the Bible and using it against her.

[Destinee] Justice for Mica would be for her to be alive right now

and living her life.

-And I'm never gonna see that. -♪ Happy birthday to me ♪

No one should ever be put through what she went through.

The police weren't able to do a single thing for Mica.

Even though she kept calling them for protection,

they couldn't protect her legally.

Because you're married to someone, that's not harassment in South Carolina.

That's why Mica's Law's so important to us as a family.

She loved the church. She loved the people.

[calming music playing]

[Sierra] She believed in loving everyone, celebrating life.

And helping everybody around you that you can.

I think Mica would remind everybody that

this life is temporary and fleeting, and to live every moment to the fullest.

-Hi! -[man] Hello.

[cheering]

-These are really sharp seashells. -[girl] Mommy!

Oh, it's a video? [laughs]
