Mica Miller's Bandmate Says "I Don't Believe She Did It to Herself"

Sam Rickman played bass beside Mica Miller nearly every Sunday for years, watched her marriage to pastor John Paul "JP" Miller unravel from the inside, and was at Solid Rock church in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina when JP delivered the announcement of her death to their congregation in April 2024.
He has never fully told his story — until now.
In this episode of Criminally Obsessed, investigative reporter Anne Emerson speaks with Rickman, who describes the moment he learned Mica was gone: locked out of JP's office, told by a church staffer that Mica had shot herself through a crude gesture, and then feeling forced to perform a second worship set that same morning while grieving in silence. Rickman says JP told the band Mica's death would "blow over in two weeks" — a comment he says confirmed his suspicion that JP never loved her at all.
Rickman also lays out why he doesn't believe Mica died by suicide, an odd request JP Miller made days before she died, and explains why he thinks the truth is still coming.
