BUSTED! FEDS INDICT MYRTLE BEACH PASTOR JOHN PAUL MILLER AFTER SWAMP-DEATH OF WIFE MICA, CYBER STALKED

Ricky Johnson, David Harrington, and Clayton McGeeney were last seen alive on January 7, 2024, watching the final regular-season Kansas City Chiefs game at the home of their friend, Jordan Willis.  Two days later, authorities found their frozen bodies outside the house. After a yearlong investigation, prosecutors charged Jordan Willis and Ivory Carson in connection with the deaths, which gained national attention. Both men face three counts of involuntary manslaughter and two counts of delivering a controlled substance. Police say Carson, known as "Blade Brown," supplied and sold cocaine to Willis and the victims. Investigators found Carson's DNA on a bag of fentanyl inside Willis' home. During the investigation, law enforcement initially said they did not suspect foul play. A toxicology report later confirmed that the men had cocaine, THC, and fentanyl in their systems. Police have since ruled the deaths as caused by "fentanyl and cocaine toxicity." As the case progressed, Willis moved out of the home and checked into rehab. A forensic analysis of Harrington’s phone uncovered text messages between Willis, McGeeney, Johnson, and others, linking Carson to the cocaine supply. DNA evidence identified Willis as a major contributor, and a second bag contained DNA matching Carson, confirming his role as the drug supplier.  After a recent court hearing Willis said he was confident in his case when asked by reporters   Joining Nancy Grace today: Jonathan Price - Brother of Ricky Johnson Derek Smith - Criminal Defense Attorney Dr. Heidi Green - Clinical Psychologist, Trauma Specialist, and Author: ‘The Path to Self-Love and World Domination; IG: @drheidigreen Barry Hutchison -  Former 26-year Law Enforcement Veteran and Detective, Owner & Chief Investigator for Barry & Associates Investigative Services located in Kansas & Missouri Dr. Kendall Crowns -  Chief Medical Examiner Tarrant County (Ft Worth), NEW Podcast --- launching on April 7th, Lecturer: Burnett School of Medicine at TCU (Texas Christian University) Eric Zahnd - Platte County Prosecutor in Missouri Alexis Tereszcuk - Crimeonline.com Investigative Reporter Dave Mack - CrimeOnline Investigative Reporter See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

John Paul Miller, a South Carolina pastor, whose wife, Mica Miller, died by suicide last year after she filed for divorce, has been federally indicted after being accused of posting her nude photo online and stalking her before her death.  Miller, 46, is charged with felony charges of cyberstalking and making false statements to federal investigators, according to authorities. John-Paul Miller and Mica Miller were married in 2017, and at the age of just 23, Mica Miller becomes stepmom to John-Paul Miller's five children. JP Miller is considerably older than his beautiful young wife, but they move forward like a match made in heaven. Outside the home, everybody seems happy, but inside the home, not so much. Mica Miller decides she has had enough of Pastor John-Paul Miller and files for divorce. Four months after filing for divorce, Mica Miller pulls back the divorce papers, only to file new divorce papers weeks later. After filing for divorce the second time, her tires are slashed twice in a week, and a mechanic finds a tracking device in Mica's car. Allegedly, Mica feels like she is being stalked by Miller and fears for her life. One morning during a church service, Pastor John-Paul Miller announces he got a call last night, and his wife has died by suicide. Mica's family and friends demand justice for Mica and ask law enforcement to investigate. Protest follows outside Solid Rock Church demanding justice for Mica.

Nick Reiner appears in a Los Angeles courthouse on Wednesday for the first time since he is accused of killing his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner. While in court, Nick Reiner, 32, appears to be wearing an all-blue vest. The only words he utters during the brief appearance are, “Yes, your honor.” His arraignment is pushed back to January 7, marking the second time it was delayed since his arrest Sunday in his parents' deaths. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office on Wednesday listed the couple's cause of death as multiple sharp force injuries. Many jump to the conclusion that the Reiners were bad parents to their middle child, and somehow responsible for their demise at their troubled son's hands. Critics highlight Nick Reiner’s early signs of addiction and meth. The teen reportedly entered rehab for around his 15th birthday.

Michele and Rob Reiner leave Conan’s party without their son after his off-putting behavior, like wearing a hoodie to a formal event and interrupting Bill Hader’s private conversation, leads to an embarrassing public row. Reiner, however, doesn’t make his own way to Brentwood. Instead, he pops up in Santa Monica at 4 a.m. Sunday morning, checking into The Pierside hotel. Desk staff don’t notice anything off about Reiner’s appearance, but the next morning, housekeepers find sheets covering the windows, and blood all over Reiner’s bedding and shower. The Reiners’ troubles with their middle child have been bubbling to a head for months. Every photo of the family from the September premiere of Rob’s latest film, "Spinal Tap: The End Continues," picture the 32-year-old sporting a deep scowl. By November, Nick Reiner moves back into his parents’ guest house, which he’s trashed on multiple occasions, leading up to a blowout fight the day after Thanksgiving that left Michele “at her wits’ end.” Ahead of Reiner’s first appearance, renowned defense attorney Alan Jackson enters the LA County courthouse, telling reporters he’s representing Nick Reiner. Jackson says his client is still undergoing a medical evaluation at the infamous Twin Towers Correctional Facility, where Reiner is rumored to be held on suicide watch.

Romy Reiner, the daughter of Hollywood legend Rob Reiner, is unable to reach her parents all day Sunday, so she decides to stop by their house, as she lives just across the street. At around 3:30 p.m., Romy lets herself into her parents' Brentwood estate and discovers her mother and father, Rob and Michele Singer Reiner, dead. Romy dials 911 in a panic, but EMTs can do nothing but call for LAPD backup. LAPD quickly responds to the residence of Rob and Michele, located in West Los Angeles. Working with the coroner's office, detectives can identify the victims definitively as Rob and Michele Reiner. Rob Reiner was born into the business; his father, Carl Reiner, is a legend behind the popular "Dick Van Dyke Show," and his mother, Estelle, performed as a cabaret singer. Rob garners fame when he lands a role on the hit series, "All in the Family." Rob marries Penny Marshall of "Laverne & Shirley," and though they separate after 10 years, Rob remains close with Marshall’s daughter, whom he adopted, Tracy Reiner. A highly successful actor, Rob Reiner, tries his hand behind the scenes, flourishing in a directing role. Reiner’s directing debut rock band mockumentary, "This is Spinal Tap," becomes an instant cult classic. His 1986 "Stand By Me" received Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations.  Rob does it again with the film adaptation of "The Princess Bride," and again with "When Harry Met Sally," "Misery," and "A Few Good Men." Less than 24 hours after attending a Hollywood star's annual holiday party, Rob and Michele are found dead in bed with their throats slit. Rob and Michele attend Conan O’Brien’s annual holiday party and ask for permission to bring their troubled, addicted son, Nick Reiner, allegedly to keep an eye on him. The night quickly turns sour when an argument breaks out between father and son. Party goers also allege Nick's behavior was odd and unnerving during the party.

On a Thursday afternoon, Bryce Tate heads to the gym after school as usual. During his workout, Bryce receives a text from an unsaved number. The texter claims she’s a junior at another high school is close by and has seen Bryce at the gym before. The unknown texter tells Bryce she knows some of his friends, who tell her about his impressive basketball skills, and she wants to introduce herself. The teens flirt back and forth all afternoon. Bryce comes home from the gym in a great mood, still engrossed in his text conversation with the pretty stranger. Bryce is thrilled that it's taco night and happily chats with his parents at the dinner table. After clearing the table, Bryce heads outside to shoot some hoops, but he’s very distracted by his new friend. Just after 7 p.m., Amanda and Adam Tate are shocked by the sound of a gunshot and rush into Adam’s man cave. Their happy teenager shot himself. The hysterical parents called 911, but Bryce was gone the moment he pulled the trigger. What no one understands is why Bryce would take his own life. In the 20 minutes before taking his own life, Bryce receives 120 text messages. The messages reveal that Bryce offers the only money he has access to $30. But it isn’t enough.
