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.

Sleep deprivation. Forced medication. Locks changed, accounts hijacked, sermons weaponized.  Investigative Journalists Mandy Matney and ⁠Liz Farrell dive into the maddening truth: most of it isn't a chargeable crime in South Carolina, and a bill that would change that has sat in the Judiciary Committee since 2020.  Hear Mica's own senator dismiss her family, former Scotland Yard criminal behavioral analyst Laura Richards trace the red flags, and Mica's sisters testify before a Senate subcommittee two years after her death, only to be told to \"never waver.\" Mica's Law still hasn't passed. And even when it does, it can never be used against JP Miller. So what can be?
