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.

September 6th... 5 years from the publishing of this episode... Chris Skinner — author, motivational speaker, devoted father of twins — was found at the bottom of his neighborhood pool in Myrtle Beach, still in his wheelchair. Police closed the case in two days. The report's narrative runs five sentences. His body was cremated. Thanks to Beth Braden's FOIA work, we were the first outlet to obtain the 911 call and the surveillance and dash cam footage — and after meticulously syncing the mismatched timestamps, a timeline emerged that the two-day investigation never grappled with.  Investigative Journalists Mandy Matney and ⁠Liz Farrell walk through who Chris was, what the footage shows minute by minute, the \"do not resuscitate\" order that was never produced, and the chess partner Chris was allegedly meeting that day has never come forward.  To be clear, no one has been charged in Chris's death.
