Pastor’s Wife Case Unfolds: Netflix Doc, Turbulent Marriage, and Federal Charges

Netflix’s three‑part true‑crime doc Death of the Pastor’s Wife revisits the 2024 death of Mica Miller and the marriage to her pastor husband, John Paul Miller, highlighting alleged abuse, stalking, and threats. Authorities ruled Mica’s death a suicide in North Carolina, while the film notes Miller’s public denial of involvement. In 2025 he was indicted on cyberstalking and making false statements to investigators, pleaded not guilty, and remains out on bond with an ankle monitor ahead of a trial now slated for October 2026; he has remarried since Mica’s death, and protests and church closures tied to the case have shaped public attention.
