Family of Mica Miller Reaches Confidential Settlement with Estranged Husband
Aug 02, 10:00 AM
The family of Mica Miller has reached a settlement with her estranged husband, South Carolina pastor John-Paul “J.P.” Miller, three months after her death. This resolution has been confirmed by multiple sources, including PEOPLE magazine.
“Today John Paul Miller, Solid Rock Church, Inc. and The Estate of Mica Francis Miller, along with the individual members of the Francis family, have reached a full and final Settlement Agreement,” stated Russell B. Long, attorney for Pastor Miller. The terms of the settlement remain sealed under a confidentiality agreement, ensuring that all related matters are considered settled, waived, or released.
“Mica’s family, Pastor Miller, and the Church have set their differences aside to allow Mica’s memory to live on,” Long explained. “All parties now consider this matter ‘closed.’”
Reflecting on the tragic circumstances, Long added, “Unfortunately, we do not know every piece of information leading up to the death of Mica. We do know that her life served a purpose. Those that have spent every Sunday morning protesting outside of Solid Rock Church, chanting ‘justice for Mica,’ should recognize this time of healing and move on with their lives. We only ask that you remember Mica as the wonderful, beautiful soul that she was.”
Regina Ward, the attorney representing Mica's family, expressed similar sentiments in statements to local media outlets The Post and Courier, The Sun News, and CBS affiliate WBTW-TV. “We do not want the Francis family or anyone to be dragged through litigation for years,” Ward said. “We want to put this behind us and move on to the next chapter that matters. When we say that we’ve gotten justice for Mica as a result of this settlement, it is true.”
Mica Miller's body was found at Lumber River State Park in North Carolina on April 27. Her death, ruled a suicide by the medical examiner, sparked widespread debate and online conspiracy theories. The Robeson County Sheriff’s Department had to address these theories, reaffirming the cause of death as suicide.
In a recent interview on Banfield Tonight on NewsNation, John-Paul Miller addressed the speculation surrounding his relationship with Mica. “It feels like people don’t care to hear the truth,” he said. He also denied allegations of tracking his late wife, slashing her tires, and posting a topless photo of her, despite a previous letter in which he appeared to apologize for such actions.
At the time of her death, Mica and John-Paul were in the process of divorcing, as reported by ABC 30. The Robeson County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that the couple was separated and estranged.
In the weeks leading up to her death, Mica had posted a video on Facebook discussing abuse and offering advice to those in abusive relationships. This video added another layer to the public's interest in her case and the subsequent settlement.
With this settlement, both families hope to move forward and remember Mica for the positive impact she had during her life.
