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.

Then thirteen months of silence, until a Wednesday in December 2025: a federal grand jury indicted John Paul Miller for cyberstalking Mica from November 16, 2022 until the day she died — and for lying to the FBI about it. In this episode of COERCED, Investigative Journalists Mandy Matney, ⁠Liz Farrell and Beth Braden take you from the raid to the federal arraignment in Florence — the purple balloons, the \"MICA KNEW EVERYTHING\" signs, and the monitor that allegedly ensures JP won’t skip town like some other defendants we cover on True Sunlight.  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.
