Months After Mica Miller's Death, FBI Raids Pastor Husband's Home

The FBI searched the home of John-Paul Miller, the South Carolina pastor whose wife, Mica, died by suicide in April.

A spokesperson for the FBI did not immediately respond to a request for comment from PEOPLE, but WBTW, WPDE and The Sun News all reported that agents were seen outside John-Paul Miller’s home in Horry County, S.C.

Both WPDE and WBTW both reported that an FBI spokesperson said the agency was conducting “court-authorized law enforcement activity” at the home.

Miller’s lawyer, Russell Long, confirmed that the FBI searched the house in a statement to PEOPLE.

“They executed a search warrant at his house this morning, as expected,” Long said. “Nothing new really. Hopefully this is the end of it.”

Mica Miller, 30, was found dead in a state park in Robeson County, N.C., from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to local authorities.

Mica and John-Paul, who is the pastor at Solid Rock at Market Common in Myrtle Beach, were estranged at the time of her death. Just over a week before she died, Mica filed for Separate Support and Maintenance against John-Paul, which is the same as a legal separation, the Horry County Clerk of Court’s Office told PEOPLE.

Mica’s loved ones have speculated that there could have been foul play involved in her death, but local authorities have adamantly pushed back, saying evidence of a suicide was “clear and convincing.”

The search of John-Paul’s Horry County home comes months after the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office told PEOPLE in May that the FBI was conducting a “parallel investigation” that was not involved with Mica’s death.

“There’s no evidence connecting him to her death,” Damien McLean of the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office told PEOPLE in May. “[The FBI is] investigating separate from her death. Her death has been ruled [a] suicide.”

The FBI has not said what the nature of the investigation is.
