Why JP Miller Went To A Bar Four Days Later

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to explain what clinicians call the deadliest window — the period right after a victim tries to leave, when an abuser facing what's known as a narcissistic injury becomes most dangerous. Mica Miller served her husband, pastor John-Paul Miller, divorce papers on April 25, 2024. She was found dead forty-eight hours later at a North Carolina state park, in a death ruled a suicide. She had told a friend JP threatened to put a bullet in her head and make it look self-inflicted. He was verified to be in Charleston at the time and has not been charged. The next morning, JP delivered a full Sunday sermon to his congregation before saying a word about his wife's death, and later claimed he'd tried to raise her from the dead. Four days after that, he was seen drinking at a bar with congregant Suzie Skinner — whose wheelchair-bound Army veteran husband drowned in a community pool in September 2021 after confronting JP about an alleged affair. He married Suzie thirteen months later, with armed guards and no children present. Scott also addresses psychological homicide — the theory that a person can be driven to death without a hand ever being raised. Mica had told police JP controlled her since she was a child, filed at least eight police reports, and was still under his healthcare power of attorney when a December 2025 federal indictment detailed seventeen months of alleged cyberstalking. JP's trial is set for October 2026.
