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.

Twice, JP's church reported Mica to police for theft. The amount? $159.00 — from a charity account funded entirely by Mica's own money. A judge refused to sign a warrant. But the accusation weighed on Mica, who told friends she feared JP would pin the church's financial anomalies on her. In this episode, Investigative Journalists Mandy Matney and ⁠Liz Farrell uncover what happened next: the notary embosser JP allegedly withheld from Mica, her desperate email to the Secretary of State, and the emails JP forwarded to a Myrtle Beach police officer he called a friend.  Then, one day after Mica reported him, JP went back to Waccamaw to have her committed — and the fire department was called to his house for a smoldering burn pit. What was he burning…?
