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.

She documented. She called 911. She filed report after report… Investigative Journalists Mandy Matney and ⁠Liz Farrell walk through the record Mica built while she was alive, and the one the state built after she died. In this episode of COERCED built from True Sunlight Podcast reporting, you'll hear Mica’s own voice: calm and clear from a hospital bed in February 2024, telling police her estranged pastor husband has seized her phone, laptop, and car; then a month later, reporting a razor blade planted in her tire, already reciting the excuses she knew police would use to do nothing.  Then… a dispatcher's parting words rang hollow: \"Good luck\" and six weeks later, Mica was dead. The four-page medical examiner's report, printed on yellow paper, closed her case without an autopsy, with a time of death that contradicts law enforcement's own timeline, two spent casings, and a body found 100 feet away.  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.
