An unfortunately tragic update has come from the story of a South Carolina pastor's wife who, allegedly, committed suicide two weeks ago.
Police have released a 911 call from Mica Miller, telling the dispatcher that she plans to kill herself and that she wants her location tracked so that her family is able to find her. Police also have surveillance footage of Miller purchasing the gun used in the apparent suicide.
[Warning: Disturbing]
JUST IN: Law enforcement release heartbreaking 911 call of Mica Miller making sure her location could be found for her family before she tragically took her own life.
'I'm about to k*ll myself and I just want my family to know where to find me.'
Mica had just filed for divorce from her husband Pastor John-Paul Miller who is accused of abusing her.
Police have also released surveillance footage of Mica purchasing a gun before she took her life in North Carolina.
Mica's family is demanding further answers as they claim Mica was abused and harassed by Pastor Miller.
As evidence of potential abuse, clips have been put together showing how Pastor John-Paul Miller spoke about his wife from the pulpit.
Mica's family, obviously, is devastated by the entire situation.
More from Collin Rugg's reporting above:
Here is the order of events laid out by the Robeson County Sheriff's Office: 11:00 am: Miller seen on her ring camera at her house in Myrtle Beach, SC.
11:38 am: Miller seen leaving the residence.
12:12 pm: Miller seen at pawn show in Myrtle Beach, SC.
12:34 pm: Miller seen leaving the pawn shop after purchasing a gun.
1:27 pm​: Miller's black Honda Accord is observed arriving at 41 Grocery and Grill.
2:54 pm: Miller called Robeson County [911] from Lumber River State Park.
Many online are critical of the 911 dispatcher for not trying to talk Mica out of it, however, it's likely the dispatcher was following the book and trying not to panic or escalate the situation. Law enforcement was also, in all likelihood, listening on the line as well at this point.
Mica Miller's death has been found a suicide by Robeson County officials.
Robeson County Medical Examiner Richard Johnson ruled Miller died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after authorities found her in Lumber River State Park, about an hour's drive from the Millers' hometown of Myrtle Beach, April 27.
'This incident has garnered much attention from across the Carolinas and beyond. I want to assure everyone that a very methodical investigation was conducted by our Criminal Investigations Team and Crime Scene Investigative Team,' Sheriff Burnis Wilkins said in a statement Tuesday. 'Unfortunately, rumors and conspiracy theories were spreading quickly, and assumptions were being made.
'However, in the end, we must make decisions based on the facts and evidence that has been gathered. While I know it's not what many people wanted to hear, the evidence is quite clear and compelling, and we are as saddened as anyone that this occurred. There are many factors that we have reviewed that occurred over an extended period of time that are probably related to the reason for this investigation, but in the end, sadly, a tragic decision was made by Mica that ended her life.'
Absolutely tragic situation. Suicide is never the answer. If you need help, get help.
