“It’s just one of those things that you don’t think would ever happen where you live,” a neighbor named Butch was quoted as saying. He also expressed surprise that Miller’s truck, which had been there the day before, was now gone.

In April, authorities determined that Mica Miller committed suicide in Robeson County, North Carolina.

Her death gained national attention because of allegations related to her marriage to Miller. Family members and friends have expressed concern about the abuse in their marriage, claiming it contributed to her mental health struggles.

Miller was not found at the home during FBI searches, and his whereabouts remain unknown.

The Robeson County Sheriff’s Office said they have been in contact with the US Attorney’s Office and the South Carolina FBI since the early stages of the investigation into Mica’s death.

On Sunday, protesters gathered in front of the church, conformable WMBF news.

Demonstrators wore purple and displayed “Justice for Mica” signs.

In an affidavit, Mica’s sister, Sierra Francis, claimed that Mica was hopeful about her future after filing for divorce from Miller on April 25. Francis wrote: “My sister also expressed to me that she was afraid that she would not go through with the divorce and that her life would be taken away. I think based on conversations with my sister, she told several people, including other family members.”

Little’s brother, Nathaniel Francis, also provided an affidavit supporting his sister’s concerns. He said Mica reported incidents where her tires were slashed and tracking devices found on her car to police.

“Mica has made several police reports in recent weeks about slashing her tires and tracking devices found on her car. In Mr. Miller’s email, he apologizes to Mica for the tires and for causing damage to his vehicle,” Nathaniel noted.

Miller has denied allegations of wrongdoing in his wife’s death.

In a previous interview with The Christian Post, he attributed Little’s suicide to her bipolar II disorder and inconsistent medication use.

Miller admitted that his relationship with Mica began with adultery. He said they were both previously married and cheated on their spouses, and many people left his church, forcing them to start over. He said he and Mica married in 2017. Shortly after, she underwent surgery for an undisclosed reason and was diagnosed with “bipolar II, schizophrenic and dependent personality disorder.”

In a 2017 affidavit, as before reported by The Daily Mail, Miller’s first wife, Alison, accused him of engaging in inappropriate relationships and of having an addiction to prostitutes. She stated: “He confessed to me and other church staff that he had sexual encounters with young women in the church who were under the age of 16.”

According to NewsNation, Miller PASSED for posting a nude photo of Mica on social media during their divorce proceedings. In an apology email quoted by the media, he wrote: “I am sorry for putting a picture of you on the internet. Took less than an hour and immediately took off. I was hurt that you were telling everyone horrible intimate details about my past sin and I just wanted to try to hurt you. Please forgive me. It was bad of me to do that.”

So far, Miller has not been charged in connection with his wife’s death.
