Overview
- Mica Miller was found dead from a self‑inflicted gunshot on April 27, 2024, and her death was ruled a suicide by the Robeson County medical examiner.
- A federal grand jury indicted John‑Paul “JP” Miller in December 2025 on cyberstalking and false‑statement charges alleging harassment from November 2022 through April 2024; he has pleaded not guilty and is scheduled for trial in October 2026.
- Court and bond records obtained by multiple outlets say Miller is free on a $100,000 bond with conditions that bar weapons possession, restrict travel outside South Carolina, require substance testing or treatment, and impose monitoring.
- The three‑part Netflix docuseries released in late August 2026 compiles 911 calls, texts, video and interviews that friends and family say document years of alleged coercive control, infidelity and technological harassment.
- The case has spurred calls for legal change because South Carolina marriage rules limited Mica’s ability to obtain a restraining order before her death, and advocates are pressing lawmakers to broaden protections for people in abusive marriages.
