Within days, her death was ruled a suicide — a ruling that would have ended the story for most true crime journalists. We aren't most true crime journalists. And Mica's story is anything but typical. COERCED: The Devotion & Death of Mica Francis Miller is a LUNASHARK® DROP-FEED from the award-winning team behind the Murdaugh Murders Podcast — investigative journalists Mandy Matney, Liz Farrell and Beth Braden — along with producers Kate Thomas, Grace Hills and David Moses.

He hadn't. In this episode, Investigative Journalists Mandy Matney and ⁠Liz Farrell break down the five things really driving that settlement, including the house JP sold to his church two months after Mica first filed for divorce. Then we're exploring the strange PR machinery that appeared in the weeks before the deal. A TikTok account that materialized to tell JP's side. A \"reporter\" at the Solid Rock protests whose press badge carried a fake name — and whose website was registered that same morning. And the centerpiece: a recording of JP's 2 a.m. phone call on March 11, 2024, confronting a young church employee about Mica — the same night Mica found a razor blade in her tire. JP posted it to prove Mica was the villain. Listen to what it actually proves.
