Overview
- Mica Miller died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound on April 27, 2024, after calling 911 to say she intended to kill herself.
- The North Carolina OCME ruled the death a suicide, noting a single right‑side entrance wound, an exit wound on the left, two spent casings and one live round at the scene, no signs of a physical struggle, and a history of psychiatric hospitalizations and a prior attempt.
- A federal grand jury indicted John‑Paul “JP” Miller in December 2025 on one count of cyberstalking and one count of making false statements, alleging a pattern of harassment from November 2022 through April 2024 that included posting an intimate image without consent and placing tracking devices on Mica’s car.
- JP Miller has pleaded not guilty, remains free on bond, has repeatedly secured continuances, and his trial is now expected during the October 2026 term of federal court.
- Netflix’s three‑part documentary, released in late August 2026, assembled police calls, texts and video that family and advocates say show coercive control and have spurred renewed public pressure for further review and for stronger legal recognition of such abuse, including renewed attention to a linked 2021 death that authorities said they re‑examined.
