(RNS) — The FBI and the U.S. attorney’s office have been asked to assist in an investigation into the death of Mica Miller, a pastor’s wife whose apparent suicide in North Carolina has been the source of fierce controversy and widespread speculation among her friends and former church community in South Carolina.“The Robeson County Sheriff’s Office has been in contact with the United States Attorney’s Office and Federal Bureau of Investigation in South Carolina since the early stages of the Mica Miller investigation,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement to local news station WPDE on Monday (May 13). “Based on the information gathered during the investigation and jurisdiction reasons, the Sheriff’s Office has requested the assistance of both agencies.”
Miller, 30, was found dead at Lumber River State Park near the South Carolina border west of Wilmington on April 27, and earlier this month, the Robeson County medical examiner determined she died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. A timeline of events released by the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office and reported by WPDE shows footage of Miller purchasing a weapon and ammunition from a pawnshop just after 12:30 on the afternoon of April 27. A 911 phone call records Mica confirming her location at the state park and threatening suicide just before 3 p.m.
Mica’s husband, John-Paul Miller, 44, pastor of Solid Rock at Market Common church in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, announced her death at the conclusion of an otherwise lighthearted church service on April 28, saying her death was “self-induced” and that she “wasn’t well mentally.”
