Mica Miller’s video of estranged husband provides context: Rich McHugh | Banfield

NewsNation national correspondent Rich McHugh has obtained documents from the Myrtle Beach, SC police department that show Mica Mills contacted officers at least eight times in the weeks before her death. McHugh also has a short video that Mica took of her husband, John-Paul that illustrated what family members contend was a very abusive relationship.

If this man gets punished for all the mental, emotional, financial and even physical abuse, there will be less men abusing their spouses and less women losing their mind or ending their lives. The law against abuse in USA needs to change!! Abusers have to be exposed and held accountable!!!

[@AbstractAngelArtist]

How about the abusers that are female?

[@x77punk77x]

Two of my abusers befriended the police. They count on conservative authoritarian white males to side with them and are often vindicated in that assumption. The other thing is that if you cry hard at all after they beat or violate you, they’ll paint you as “emotional,” “dramatic,” “attention-seeking,” “crazy,” etc. Few police actually take domestic violence all that seriously and are too often easily manipulated by men denying/downplaying situations, especially experienced batterers/r*pists. I knew a guy who was a volunteer firefighter and he claimed that his company and others looked often down on cops because they were definitely more likely to beat up their wives & girlfriends amongst all first responder occupations. After realizing this i changed how I deal with not only the police but male strangers whose body language is even slightly predatory or aggressive. I’m in my 40s but sometimes young creeps will still target me; the very p0rnsick age groups and the ones who grew up with virulent online misogyny are particularly awful.

She committed suicide because she felt guilty.

[@Me-hf4ii]

@@ricksomethingno. She committed suicide because she felt it was the only way she could escape him. And given that she’d been crying out for help for months and NO ONE thought to help get her out of the state and away from him, she really didn’t have any other options. If she hadn’t been in the fog of trauma, she would have seen a way to get herself out alive. But in the fog of trauma, you can’t see what’s in front of you - and often the only way out you can see is the permanent one. I’m so sorry no one was able to see how desperately she needed to be removed from his grasp. Moving 10 minutes down the road wasn’t enough. Going to a church across town wasn’t enough. He was stalking her and had trackers on her car and phone. He had access to everything important to her, and every time she tried to get away, he called the police and said he was worried for her mental state - which triggers a mental health hold… but her mental state was poor BECAUSE she couldn’t get away from him… it’s so so tragic. She felt guilty perhaps for falling for her groomer/abuser and her life going down this way. But ultimately her death was about escape, not guilt. What’s interesting is that the Pastor was happy as a clam that she died. Even gleefully led a sermon the next day and then told everyone she killed herself and now leave and don’t talk about it - but be sure to keep giving the church money…. HE’S the one acting guilty.

[@simaturna9765]

Her voice does not give a suicidal vibe at all

[@user-of3qz7yn7f]

True narcissist.

[@lisastratton5145]

Remember the teen girl who texted her friend to “just do it and get it over with” and was sent to prison? Well…..this case is crying for justice. The fbi or cia needs to investigate this good ole boys club.

[@AmeliasMiMi]

Rich McHugh is an incredible investigator. I was blown away at how much he uncovers. Great work!

[@carolwands597]

What I want to know is the fact that this type of reported situation goes on all the time in regular people's lives and WE DONT GET THE ATTENTION OR HELP LIKE A POPULAR PERSON OR PERSONS GET. SO WHY?

[@Deb501]

Gee he found her at the tire place real easy. Doesn’t sound like she would tell him where she was if she wanted him to go away. Tracker app on his phone connected to the tracker found on her car? Maybe so

[@joshjordan1486]

😂 or maybe the giant tent and how they announce everything on the radio.

[@OnaFaithJourney]

I heard somewhere else they had found a tracker on her car.

[@simaturna9765]

And he says the pictures will be on the Facebook in few hours Those pictures she send him as being husband This was not a relationship She was an estranged wife Plus she was forced to marry him She went thru extreme abuse He is an evil He is a monster

[@ms.reezee4415]

Harassment can lead someone on committing something unthinkable , they feel like nothing is being done to help them feel safe…

[@bongiwemageba6025]

Praying for justice to prevail in the matter.

[@HeatherRose2023]

I highly doubt it was suicide. More like a murder made to look like one. What happened to JP’s first wife?

[@allynfollette]

She was going to file criminal charges against him, probably, and he silenced her...

[@guadalupeeg5034]

Someone can be harassed and bullied to the point of the person taking their own life, and the oppressor face 0 consequences? That's why bullying is an epidemic!

[@DevVoyager.]

Someone is blackmailed and threatened, goes to an appointment in the park, gets a gun for safety and is found dead. A pre-arranged phone call with another female caller is then the ultimate proof? The husband appears to triumph before and after. So the investigation is closed? Seriously?

[@shirleyhawkins1307]

What appointment?

[@childoflight389]

This is who Jesus warned about when he said "Watch out for wolves in sheep clothing. You shall know them by their actions."

[@Rio0444]

Husband is psycho.

[@normanspurgeon5324]

Thank you so much for thanking us!! we are so thankful!!!!!

[@michaelengland6534]

Sounds like the police wantva case closed while all her family and friends think something is not right.

[@Bailemos888]

Yeap, he forced her to make that 911 call and then he shot her. Those kinds of people like him are very dangerous, LEAVE without telling where you are hiding.

[@stephaniehodges2746]

How the heck is he a PASTOR??? Pastors don’t act like that and especially threaten to put things on FB of all things….very vindictive, not Christian at all…a wolf in sheep’s clothing!!

[@SpringRain23]

What if her call was AI?

[@anthonypuzyn3403]

Nope, AL is innocent too.

[@lilac6940]

That's exactly what Mica's Dad thinks. He said her voice sounds "off." It sounds like her voice but not the way she talks. In another interview on KZbin, Mica's Dad actually says he thinks it's AI. And another commenter on one of these videos says the pastor's lawyer lives less than 30 minutes away from this park and is an expert on AI. This reminds me so much of the Murdoch mess down south last year.

[@geraldine1437]

How do the police know it was suicide? How was it determined so quickly?

[@Coffeelover4evr]

Do more research, there is video evidence of her buying a gun and a 911 phone call.

[@anthonypuzyn3403]

Witnesses, duhhhh

[@lynneaiken1647]

Nobody saw her do it!!!!

[@geraldine1437]

@@anthonypuzyn3403 They saw her pull the trigger and kill herself? Were you there?

[@Coffeelover4evr]

They have video of her buying a gun that day. She did a search on her phone for that national park. And she called 911 saying she was going to kill herself. It's all out there just do some research.

[@davidthompson1573]

To be fair, how can you take all of her claims seriously when she basically tried to frame him for her own murder? Look, I get it, he’s probably a bad dude. That said, she told everyone if she ended up deceased, then she would never do that to herself, and he was to blame. From a jury’s perspective, that’s pretty hard to overlook.

[@Shellm2332]

Exactly! He was a controlling jerk but it's obvious she has this planned and was her decision to end her life.

[@AmeliasMiMi]

There was a female who was charged & convicted & required to spend several years in jail for continuously hounding her boyfriend and encouraging him to end his own life. When vile people such as this push people in a corner until they feel like they can’t win their own freedom, criminal charges should be filed on them!

[@charleschi843]

Churches need more elders with thick spines. Our church would never put up with a shepherd like this.

Thief and Psycho.

[@Emie8230]

just because J. P. is not charged yet doesn't mean he didn't murder her

[@joshjordan1486]

😂😂

[@rosalindr4975]

He posted top less pics of her on social media and took them down shortly after. After he walked away in the video.

[@sherrykrause3410]

Ending her life under severe duress and harassment fro two other people. “If you don’t do it Mica, we’ll do it for you.” What person gets dressed and leaves for work and decides, Aw heck, I think I won’t show for work and go end it an hour plus away. Even though I’m going to have a new start in life. Even though I’m stronger than I’ve ever been!? We need cameras on the way to see if she was alone in the car or if any recognizable cars were behind and in front of hers.
