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.

In two years of reporting, this is the only alleged attempt a record exists for: March 23, 2018 — four months into their marriage, three months into a diagnosis Mica questioned until the day she died. Journalist and producer Grace Hills walks us through how Mandy Matney and ⁠Liz Farrell reconstructed those months through Mica's records: the medication side effects no one weighed, including akathisia — a condition clinically linked to suicidal distress. The single therapy session where a clinician suggested JP stay out of the room. Then Beth Braden and team examine JP's account of that morning against the clock: a pawn shop that opened at 9 a.m., a firearm purchase on a felon's credit card, a phone call at 10. There's a reason we couch the attempt as \"alleged.\" By the end, you'll understand it — and understand what was built on that one hour.
