FBI Raids Pastor’s Home After Wife’s Alleged Suicide

Florence, South Carolina’s Nexstar affiliate reports:

Federal authorities were conducting an investigation early Friday afternoon at the Horry County home of Solid Rock church pastor John-Paul Miller. FBI spokesman Kevin Wheeler told News13 that authorities were “conducting court authorized law enforcement activity” at the home.

A News13 reporter saw about 25 FBI agents at the home. They were wearing uniforms that said “Evidence Response Team.” They were putting on gloves and bringing bags from a truck while appearing to be preparing to enter the home.

Controversy has swirled around Miller and his Market Common church, since his wife, Mica, was found dead in late April at the Lumber River State Park. Her death was eventually ruled a suicide, but the case sparked nationwide interest because of allegations that she was abused by her husband before her death.

The Christian Post reported in April 2024:

In a revelation that appeared to some as almost as unusual as his announcement of the suicide of his wife, Mica Miller, Pastor John-Paul Miller of Solid Rock at Market Common in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, said he tried to raise her from the dead but it didn’t work. “I’ve been down to the body about four times this week and each time it still didn’t hit me [that she was gone],” Miller said. “I thought she was gonna wake up. I even tried to raise her from the dead one time this week.”

Miller then explained that he genuinely thought he had raised his wife from the dead at one point but the person he thought was Mica was her sister. And this would not be Pastor Miller’s first time weathering a scandal. In a 2017 affidavit highlighted by the Daily Mail, Miller’s first wife, Alison, who’s the mother of his five children, accused him of engaging in sex acts with minors younger than 16, and having an addiction to prostitutes.

Miller reportedly revealed his wife’s alleged suicide to his congregation from the pulpit. For days after her body was found, Christian sites were utterly riveted with the then still-unfolding story surrounding Mica Miller’s alleged suicide, with many onlookers saying that they suspected John-Paul Miller of having killed her.
