Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Beth Braden look at the actions and interactions the actions and interactions of JP Miller, a South Carolina pastor, following the death of his wife, Mica Miller. Our investigation dives into 'sooooo' many police reports filed involving Miller, his church, and protestors, raising questions about potential police bias and insufficient investigations into serious allegations against Miller, including potential human trafficking and assault. The reports also highlight Miller's frequent traffic violations and his apparent disregard for advice to avoid further police attention, especially given an ongoing FBI investigation. The overall narrative suggests a pattern of questionable behavior by both JP Miller and local law enforcement.Stay Tuned, Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight...☀️Premium Members also get access to ad-free listening, searchable case files, written articles with documents, case photos, episode videos and exclusive live experiences with our hosts on lunasharkmedia.com all in one place. CLICK HERE to learn more: https://bit.ly/3BdUtOE.If you are in crisis, please call, text or chat with the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988, or contact the Crisis Text Line by texting TALK to 741741.What We're Buying...Eric Bland's New Book!!! - Mandy's Book in Paperback!! - Marcia Clark's New Book - Amanda Knox's New Book - Tamron Hall's New Book - Erin Lee Carr's BookPeloton - onepeloton.com Find your push.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell - along with researcher and reporter Beth Braden - take a fresh look at what Myrtle Beach Pastor JP Miller seemed to be saying in his bizarre ramblings in front of his congregation the day after his wife, Mica Francis, died. And then they go back even further to explore the insidious messages JP seems to have received from his semi-famous father, Pastor Wayne Miller, during his divorce from JP’s mom in 2001. From telling the court about “unexplained lingerie” and “unwholesome” conversations over AOL, Wayne Miller responded to his estranged wife’s accusations with a fiery vengeance as he sought to maintain custody of his children and pay zero dollars and zero cents in alimony. Also on the show, journalist/researcher Beth Braden reports on the latest strange dealings that appear to have grown from Solid Rock Ministries, specifically a massive transfer of assets to JP’s assistant AND a new nonprofit filing attached to several people in the JP MIller ecosystem. Next week, we'll dive into Cory Fleming's first post-conviction… non-appearance? What went down at today's restitution hearing.Stay Tuned, Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight...☀️Episode ResourcesLaura Richard’s podcast Crime AnalystMandy In Hollywood on InstagramColucci Case OverviewMichael Scott Declares Bankruptcy from "The Office"Mica’s List & Mica’s LawPremium Case FilesLiving Water Church’s Articles of IncorporationSolid Rock Church’s Property Transfer Documentation - Dec 13, 2024Tricia Ross’s 2006 Theft JudgementsMica Francis’ Second Divorce Filing - April 15, 2024Susan & Reginald Miller’s Divorce FilePremium Members also get access to ad-free listening, searchable case files, written articles with documents, case photos, episode videos and exclusive live experiences with our hosts on lunasharkmedia.com all in one place. CLICK HERE to learn more: https://bit.ly/3BdUtOE.If you are in crisis, please call, text or chat with the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988, or contact the Crisis Text Line by texting TALK to 741741.What We're Buying...Eric Bland's New Book!!! - Mandy's Book in Paperback!! - Marcia Clark's New Book - Amanda Knox's New Book - Tamron Hall's New Book - Erin Lee Carr's BookPeloton - onepeloton.com Find your push.

And now they have a theory about what would have been bad enough for Mica to think she had to take her own life.As they await the outcome of the FBI’s investigation into Mica’s estranged husband Myrtle Beach Pastor JP Miller, they re-examine the evidence and piece it together with NEW information gleaned from sources. Three words: History repeats itself.Also on the show, alleged Murdaugh co-conspirator Russell Laffitte has his first state court appearance since his federal conviction was overturned last month.

The Mica Francis case takes another turn as Solid Rock moves to "The Rat Hole". Questions continue to be raised about what Myrtle Beach Pastor JP Miller knew about his estranged wife’s death on the night her body was found in a North Carolina swamp … and when he knew it.Are those questions fair? Are they warranted? Are they just the beginning to figuring out what happened to Mica Francis in April 2024? Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell take a second look at old pieces of the puzzle and put them together with new information and offer their perspective on how investigators regarded JP Miller from the very beginning and why it seemed to rattle him.Also on the show, an update on Russell Laffitte’s federal retrial and his attorney’s infamous delay tactics, as well as the possibility of South Carolina Attorney General’s Office prosecutor Creighton Waters getting his turn at putting Russell behind bars sooner rather than later. Plus, Cory Fleming prepares for his restitution hearing, Nautilus insurance asks a federal judge to make Cory and his former law firm pay them millions for the Satterfield heist.

Less than three years before Mica Francis’ body was found in a North Carolina swamp after her alleged suicide, there was another strange death near Solid Rock at Market Common, the Myrtle Beach church that belonged to Mica’s husband Pastor JP Miller. That’s the death of Chris Skinner, the 41-year-old quadriplegic man who was married to the woman JP was allegedly having an affair with at the time — the same woman JP has routinely been photographed with since Mica’s death in April.Chris was found in his wheelchair at the bottom of his neighborhood pool. Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell take a look at Chris’ inspiring story of determination and hope — at who he was BEFORE he entered into JP’s ecosystem in 2018. They also take a deeper look into his death, the ensuing investigation and the strange coincidences and inconsistencies that exist between his and Mica’s cases. Was Chris at the pool this morning because he was meeting someone to play chess? Or did he go there because he had lost hope? Chris’ wife Suzie told police that he wasn’t suicidal and she later referred to his death as having been a result of getting too close to the edge of the pool. But that’s not what surveillance footage shows. And what role did JP’s alleged relationship with Suzie play in Chris’ death and Mica’s desire to divorce JP? JP and Suzie have reportedly denied having an affair. And JP has denied any and all allegations related to Mica’s death and her allegations of coercive control abuse during their marriage. Also on the show, alleged Alex Murdaugh co-conspirator Russell Laffitte is out of prison and home for the holidays and what will it take for courts to take women seriously when they ask for restraining orders against the men they fear?Stay Tuned, Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight...☀️Premium Episode ResourcesCOJ #107 with Amanda KnoxLuna Shark Merch WebsiteRussell Laffitte Release and Bond Order - Premium File“John-Paul Miller fights back against Myrtle Beach area protesters.” - The Sun NewsChris Skinner Drowning Incident Report - Premium File“Police at Pool where Chris Skinner Passed” YouTube VideoAllison Williams Affidavit - Premium FileChris and Suzie Skinner share love storyADAPTIVE SURF PROJECTMyrtle Beach community comes together to help local veteranBack on Track: Chris Skinner's Surprise GiftChris Skinner Mini-sode - Premium EpisodeMica’s List & Mica’s LawChris Skinner Probate File - Premium FileLuna Shark Premium today at Lunashark.Supercast.com.

You’ll hear the latest on Lee Gilley’s bond agreement and what’s next to get Justice For Christa. And affidavits filed in Christa’s children’s custody case show the horrible way her family found out about her death … and about how she died.We also take a look at the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision to vacate the conviction and sentence of one of Alex Murdaugh’s alleged co-conspirators — bank enabler Russell Laffitte. Why did the court do this? When will Russell be released from prison? What about all the money he still owes his attorneys? And will Murdaugh trial superstar Creighton Waters — with that Big Creighton Energy — step in to prosecute Russell on his pending 21 state charges for allegedly helping Alex steal clients’ money? Plus an update on a trial date in the Sara Lynn Colucci case and the latest in Buster Murdaugh’s defamation lawsuit.Stay posted on our Cup of Justice Podcast Co-Host Eric Bland's New Book Anything But Bland or Pre-Order Today: https://amzn.to/4eH6LQJStay Tuned, Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight...☀️Episode ResourcesMan charged with capital murder in pregnant wife's death first reported as suicide in Heights:Houston man accused in wife's death considered fleeing, relatives sayThe Yum Yum Snack Shop on InstagramChrista Gilley’s ObituaryInformation on the Fourth Circuit Court of AppealsRecap on the Colucci CaseJoin Luna Shark Premium today at Lunashark.Supercast.com.

After investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell wrapped up last week’s episode — in which Mandy wondered when we’d ever see Myrtle Beach pastor JP Miller in handcuffs — they got their wish. JP spent one glorious night in jail after a physical confrontation between him and a female protester. And the drama didn’t end there... On today’s episode we look at what went down between JP and the protester as well as everything that was revealed in a May 2 recording of JP talking to his business partners about Mica Francis’ death days earlier. Also we look at what Mica’s medical records tell us about the three years after her alleged first suicide attempt. Plus, updates in the Christa Bauer Gilley case in Houston Heights, Texas, including the quest for Lee Gilley’s jailhouse phone calls and a look at his newest attorney …. whose name is Dick. But not that Dick! Star criminal defense lawyer Dick DeGuerin, who defended the likes of David Koresh and Robert Durst, has joined Lee’s defense team, in what’s turning out to be another example of a wealthy man trying to buy his way out of accountability. Episode ResourcesTikTok video of JP Miller’s altercation“Myrtle Beach pastor linked to Mica Miller case out on bond after assault arrest” - WMBF NewsJP Miller’s Nov 6, 2024 Arrest Warrant“The Crocodile Rocks Tapes” YouTube Video by Robbie HarveyMica Francis TSP & COJ PlaylistStay Tuned, Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight...☀️Join Luna Shark Premium today at Lunashark.Supercast.com.

UPDATE: JP Miller was arrested for third degree assault.Justice for Mica Miller is percolating six months and more than 20 episodes after investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell began reporting her the death and what her life looked like in the leadup to it.  On Friday, the FBI finally moved in on Mica’s husband...Myrtle Beach Pastor JP Miller, who stands accused of harassing, stalking and coercively controlling her during their marriage. For more than five hours, around two dozen federal agents searched his house and left with computers and boxes of alleged evidence.On this deep dive episode, Mandy, Liz and reporter Beth Braden — talk about how the raid unfolded and what happens next. Days after the raid, JP’s church, Solid Rock At Market Common, appears to have shut its doors for good... What is JP doing with all the church’s assets...?

Thrice accused rapist Bowen Turner is getting out of prison on Halloween, and in this episode, journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell warn the women of South Carolina while explaining who is responsible for the systemic failure that led to Turner’s swift release. Did Assistant Solicitor Kevin Hope fail when he agreed to the plea sentence for Turner’s resisting arrest charge? Did Bowen change? How is Bowen Turner getting out of prison? This wildly important episode focuses on the Bowen Turner case, highlighting a series of alleged failures within the South Carolina justice system that allowed a man accused of multiple rapes to be released from prison AGAIN. We also explore similar instances of alleged bias in the justice system, specifically towards men from privileged backgrounds, and compare Turner’s treatment to other, often less privileged, individuals involved in confrontations with law enforcement. We also critique the use of the Youthful Offender Act (YOA) in Turner’s case, questioning its applicability given the seriousness of the charges and the apparent lack of rehabilitation effort on Turner’s part….The team also sheds light on the most recent news on Myrtle Beach pastor JP Miller and Solid Rock church in their rebranding efforts after Mica Francis' death. Episode Resources'Brock Turner released from jail' - CNN'What happened to US low-cost carrier AirTran Airways?' - Simple Flying Youthful Offenders Act Code of LawDash Cam: Thrice Accused Rapist Bowen Turner Arrested AGAIN After DUI CrashTrue Sunlight 67 EpisodeGoFundMe for Christa Bauer GilleyWomen's Healthcare in TexasHilton Head Man Sentenced to 10 Years For Stealing PurseMan Sentenced in Lexington County For BurglaryStay Tuned, Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight...☀️Join Luna Shark Premium today at Lunashark.Supercast.com.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell begin their look into the Oct. 7 death of 38-year-old Christa Bauer Gilley in Texas and the arrest of her husband, Lee Gilley, who initially told investigators that Christa died by suicide after an argument they had. Christa, who was nine weeks pregnant at the time of her death, was strangled to death according to investigators. It’s yet another instance in which a woman’s cause of death is presented to law enforcement as a suicide when evidence points to homicide.Mandy and Liz consider whether this is a new trend or something that has existed for generations and it’s taken until now to see through the Big Suicide Lie from spouses and romantic partners.Also on the show, the Top 10 Systemic Failures that have benefitted thrice-accused rapist Bowen Turner who is due to be released from prison on Halloween — including his latest quickie appearance in court where he was sentenced to time served after pleading guilty to resisting arrest earlier this year. Remember that ride to jail?When Bowen asked the state trooper to take him to his grandmother’s house because he didn’t believe White boys should go to jail? Plus updates in Buster Murdaugh’s defamation case and the Mallory Beach civil conspiracy case.Please consider supporting the GoFundMe for Christa Bauer Gilley children. Any money raised beyond the immediate needs of the family will go directly to Christa's children to help provide for their futures. gofund.me/041c0f9aEpisode ResourcesThe State v. Bowen G.
