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 filed them himself. Unsealed. On purpose. Investigative Journalists Mandy Matney and ⁠Liz Farrell walk through documents from their first six weeks of marriage, a civil ceremony kept secret so his 23-year-old bride could move in \"without living in sin\" before her surgery, undecipherable emails that began two weeks later and a sudden psychiatric diagnosis.  Plus we examine a three-page email titled \"Our Life\" — sent nine days before their church wedding — in which JP told Mica exactly who she was allowed to be, blaming their troubles on a \"vicious attack from the enemy,\" because \"the devil is a liar.\" Coercive control rarely leaves a record, because the abuser controls the record... JP Miller entered his into evidence.  Listen To Current Coverage on The True Sunlight Podcast or ⁠Ad-Free from LUNASHARK Premium on Patreon or Supercast⁠  Let’s Dive In… 🥽 🦈 This series discusses domestic abuse, coercive control, and suicide.
