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. It’s a remastered, chronological retelling of more than 2 years of original reporting from the True Sunlight Podcast, built for listeners who want to follow one case.

Every month is accounted for except one: December 2017. The month a 23-year-old newlywed with no history of depression or mania went in for surgery and came out with a bipolar diagnosis... Investigative Journalists Mandy Matney and ⁠Liz Farrell walk through what those records actually document — a patient asking when she could return to work, a doctor writing about Mica and JP as \"they,\" and black-marker redactions you can read straight through. Then our team digs into the psychiatrist behind many of these reports, Dr. Shadi Duchesne (which we admittedly pronounced a number of ways), who had some license trouble in Pennsylvania before treating Mica in South Carolina. Finally, the FOIA requests Mica filed herself, three days out of an involuntary hospitalization — fighting for her own records ahead of a commitment hearing. Horry County sent back only one of at least eight reports.  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.
