The wife of a pastor who took her own life called authorities and told them she was about to kill herself, after purchasing a handgun that same day.
Mica Miller, 30, was found dead at Lumbee River State Park, North Carolina, on April 27, weeks after speaking about abuse within her marriage to John-Paul Miller, 44.
At 2:54 pm, Miller told Robeson County police: 'I'm about to kill myself and I just want my family to know where to find me', authorities told WAVY.
By 3:03 pm, officers were sent to the state park where he body was found with authorities confirming on Monday she died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Police said that throughout the call she remained calm, asking the dispatcher if her phone could be tracked.
In the days after her death, her friends and family held a rally calling for 'justice for Mica' outside the Solid Rock Church where Pastor Miller, 44, works. The pastor stunned his congregants last week when, after a service in which he had laughed and appeared entirely at ease, he announced that his wife had died and that her death was 'self-induced.'
He then told worshippers that he would be taking 'a little break' and to leave the church without discussing what he had just told them.
Weeks before she died Mica posted an emotional video in which she spoke of abuse within marriage and offered support to 'ANYONE struggling with leaving a dangerous situation because they think God will be 'mad' at them.'

I get the feeling the pastor will be arrested in the future.
Unless someone else can provide evidence of abuse, her video isn’t admissible because he has the right to confront his accuser.
He will likely lose his job. I doubt much more happens in this life.
After all that is said and done and considering he divorced her he should lose his job.
Does the minister have an alibi?
Seems quite a few of these pastors are not Godly people.
Yea and it seems the bigger the churches the worse these pastors get.
Someone should have told them it’s not about the money it’s about God and the hereafter. Seems with most of them it’s just about the damn money.
I’m not sure the video actually accused him personally of anything.
So the dispatcher couldn’t talk her out of it? Or delay her long enough for the police to get there?
There’s an awful lot of lacking information for the accusations being thrown around.
