17) United States v. John Paul Miller: The Raid, the Arrest & Indictment

For sixteen episodes, you've heard how every system failed Mica Francis Miller. In October 2024, more than two dozen FBI agents descended on JP Miller's house on Coldwater Circle with an evidence truck, carrying out computers and boxes while a crowd gathered. One week later, a mugshot — JP arrested after an altercation with a protester, released on a $776 bond. Then thirteen months of silence, until a Wednesday in December 2025: a federal grand jury indicted John Paul Miller for cyberstalking Mica from November 16, 2022 until the day she died — and for lying to the FBI about it. In this episode of COERCED, Investigative Journalists Mandy Matney, ⁠Liz Farrell and Beth Braden take you from the raid to the federal arraignment in Florence — the purple balloons, the "MICA KNEW EVERYTHING" signs, and the monitor that allegedly ensures JP won’t skip town like some other defendants we cover on True Sunlight.
