MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WMBF/Gray News) – Federal authorities were at the home of a pastor linked to the investigation into his estranged wife’s death.
FBI spokesperson Kevin Wheeler confirmed they are doing an authorized search at the home of John-Paul Miller on Coldwater Circle in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
John-Paul Miller is the pastor of Solid Rock Church in Myrtle Beach.
The death of John-Paul Miller’s estranged wife, Mica Miller, garnered national attention earlier this year.
Her body was found on April 27 at Lumber River State Park in Orrum, North Carolina after someone reported to 911 that they had found a body in the water.
Earlier that day, a woman called 911 and asked if her phone could be located because she was going to kill herself and wanted her family to be able to find her body.
During the conversation, the woman hung up the phone and the dispatcher wasn’t able to contact the woman again.
Once it was recovered, the body was identified as Mica Miller.
Her death was ruled as a suicide following an investigation.
Investigators had found evidence that she had purchased that day the gun found near her body and had searched on Google for parks near her.
Mica Miller and John-Paul Miller had reportedly separated prior to her death.
Robeson County investigators confirmed that John Paul Miller was at an athletic event in Charleston on the day of her death.
