CONWAY, S.C. (WBTW) — “Don’t let Satan win.”
As Robeson County authorities were searching for Mica Miller in Lumber River State Park on April 27, her estranged husband John-Paul sent what would be the final email to his wife at 4:51 p.m., pleading with her to not to “do the wrong thing” and to instead commit fully to God.
Thirty minutes earlier, a kayaker told dispatchers he discovered a body in the river that authorities confirmed was 30-year-old Mica.
John-Paul’s email is among a trove of information included in a July 26 affidavit filed in Horry County Probate Court days before he was given control of Mica’s estate as part of a global settlement between himself and Mica’s family — ending months of acrimony and legal disputes.
John-Paul is founder of Solid Rock Ministries and senior pastor at its Howard Avenue church in Market Common.
