Pastor husband of Mica Miller, who killed herself days after filing for divorce, says he tried to ‘resurrect’ her in the morgue

The South Carolina pastor whose wife fatally shot herself just days after filing for divorce says that he went to the morgue to resurrect her in a desperate act he claims was inspired by Jesus.

“Yeah, I tried raising her from the dead because you know what? If it had worked, we’d have a whole different story,” John-Paul Miller tells NewsNation’s Rich McHugh in an interview airing on Friday. “God forbid me not try it and I always wondered the rest of my life ‘would it have worked?’ Jesus did it. Elisha did it. I had to try.”

“‘There’s a few other people in the Bible,” Miller, added. “So yes, if somebody I love more than anything in the world has passed away, what I believe to be an early death, you better believe I’m going to try to… In Jesus’ name, raise her from the dead.”

Mica Miller, 30, was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head in North Carolina’s Lumber River State Park on April 27 after she was reportedly heard crying for several minutes.

Her death has cast a shadow of suspicion on her husband, who is a pastor at Solid Rock Church in Myrtle Beach.

Although Mica’s death was ruled a suicide by the Robeson County medical examiner, her family has since pleaded for cops to “deeply” investigate her demise amid allegations her John-Paul Miller had abused her.

Mica had contacted police a handful of times and made several allegations against her husband in the lead-up to her death. He accused her of slashing her tires, installing a tracking device on her car, hospitalizing her against her will and “grooming” her when she was just 10 years old and he was an adult.

But Miller has strenuously denied any allegations of grooming and abuse — and points out that he was hundreds of miles away on the day she killed herself.

In Friday’s interview, John-Paul Miller acknowledged that he had written an apology letter to Mica, apologizing for many of the things she accused him of — but insisted that he did it to placate his wife into taking her meds.

“I did it because the night that she was with me, the last night we were together for four hours, at one point, because the whole four hours I’m trying to get her to take her medicine,” he tells NewsNation.

“And she’s saying, ‘I’ll take my medicine and I’ll come home if you’ll give me $10,000 and if you’ll write me an apology letter.’ That’s why I did it.”

John-Paul Miller’s interview will air 10/9c Friday on NewsNation.
