John-Paul Miller's Very Bad Day · The Robbie Harvey Show

0:00
If you're not familiar with the Micah Miller story, I encourage
0:03
you to go to my website, therobbieharvey.com.
0:05
There's an entire timeline of this story on my website filled
0:09
with videos, audio recordings, court documents, pictures,
0:15
notes, text messages to all there.
0:18
And I encourage you to do that because if you're not familiar
0:21
with this story, tonight's show is going to be a little
0:23
confusing for you because we're talking about almost a 20 year
0:28
journey really to what has happened this past week in South
0:33
Carolina. John Paul Miller is accused of
0:36
cyber stalking his wife and lying to federal authorities.
0:40
And we expect a lot more to come.
0:44
But right now, those are the charges He faces up to 7-8 years
0:49
in prison. But I believe he will spend a
0:51
lot more time in prison once the other charges come down.
0:58
Now for those of you, like I said, not familiar.
1:01
You go to the timeline. But he's accused of cyber
1:03
stalking his wife, where eventually she dies, according
1:07
to right now authorities, by a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
1:12
My request to you is that you will continue to come to church
1:15
and serve and give for the next, you know, little bit, 'cause I
1:19
don't want to have, I'm taking a little bit of a break and I
1:21
don't want to have to worry about the church.
1:23
My break maybe a few days, a few weeks, I don't know.
1:26
I got a call late last night. My wife has passed away.
1:30
Yeah, it was. It was self induced and it was
1:32
up in North Carolina. Robeson County, 911.
1:35
What's the address of your emergency?
1:38
I'm about to kill myself. And I.
1:45
Just want my family to know where to find me.
1:48
Many say that she was murdered and a lot of the final hours of
1:52
her life, final hours that her husband, her pastor husband knew
1:58
about the details of those final hours despite him being in a
2:01
different city. The final hours of her life.
2:05
I wanted to retrace it now I've been back to South Carolina many
2:09
times. Many of you did not know that
2:12
I've done it secretly without the public knowing where I was.
2:18
And so this past week, I wanted to retrace her final steps, her
2:25
final moments. I wanted to take the route she
2:28
took from Myrtle Beach, SC to Lumber River State Park, where
2:32
she lost her life. And the first stop we made was
2:37
that infamous gas station that she stops at where she gets a
2:43
drink, fills up on gas, and then sits there for a little bit,
2:47
almost seemingly trying to figure out where she is, trying
2:51
to figure out who to meet. I don't know.
2:53
We don't know. And then she uses a porta potty.
2:59
I'm going to say this as kind as I can.
3:03
That is one of the most disgusting gas stations I have
3:06
ever been in in my life. And I recorded a little bit of
3:11
the scene. I recorded my walking through
3:14
the gas station. Not only was it disgusting and
3:16
hasn't been cleaned and God knows how long, but it smelled
3:21
awful. It was easily top two worst gas
3:29
stations I've ever been to. The journey from there to Lumber
3:34
River State Park makes no sense. It is filled with turns and
3:40
curves and and and and. It's a 40 minute drive from that
3:43
gas station to Lumber River State Park.
3:47
So it makes no sense that Michael would take this journey.
3:54
You know, she sits there say that she googled, authorities
3:57
say that she googled how to get there.
4:00
It's it doesn't make sense, but nevertheless, she's there.
4:06
She parks a car and allegedly walks through trails to find her
4:11
ultimate spot in order to take her life.
4:14
I walked her exact tracks if she indeed did walk those aths.
4:49
There it is. Now there's one key witness to
4:53
all of this, the fisherman Johnny Jacobs.
4:55
Jacobs says that he found her stuff on the bank and grabbed
5:01
her stuff and left after he heard the gunshot and Micah
5:04
crying. I want you to go back and let's
5:07
listen to the interview from Johnny Jacobs that he did with
5:12
Rich McHugh and News Nation, right?
5:15
About here. That's when I heard the gunshot.
5:17
The gunshot. Went off from which side?
5:20
Over here on the left, to the left.
5:22
That's why. I heard the the.
5:24
Gunshot. That's when.
5:26
The crime stopped. That looks totally.
5:28
Different from when I came. In here anyway.
5:30
Is it? Is it?
5:31
Was it? Low water when when you were
5:33
here. No, it was.
5:34
Actually less. Water than I was in here now.
5:37
Now Jacobs says that he entered, as you say, to the left.
5:43
I'm going to try and explain this the best I can.
5:46
Standing where Micah died. To get into where she died,
5:50
there's two entrances, one to the right and one to the left.
5:55
Now, on this day that she died, the water was obviously much
5:59
higher. But on the day that I went just
6:03
a few days ago, there's no water.
6:06
And we can clearly identify where Johnny Jacobs entered and
6:12
where Micah lost her life and where her stuff supposedly was.
6:17
Now, in this photo right here that you see, here I am standing
6:22
where Micah lost her life, where the bullet casings were found,
6:26
where the gun was found. And what you're looking at is
6:35
the entrance that Johnny Jacobs says he came in on.
6:41
You can see with the water gone, it's extremely difficult for
6:46
someone to get in there without a boat, with I'm sorry, with a
6:51
boat because of all the debris, the stumps, the logs.
6:57
Now a kayaker can, but it's extremely difficult to get to
7:02
where I'm standing, where her things supposedly were, and
7:09
where Johnny Jacobs came in at Soap.
7:16
It still doesn't make sense, but I'm glad I went.
7:19
I'm glad I found some clarity as to the scene.
7:24
Still don't understand how her body floated so far away.
7:29
Just doesn't make sense. But either way, that is the
7:34
story and unfortunately, Johnny Jacobs is no longer here.
7:39
Fortunately, he lost his life last year to a car accident late
7:47
at night, so it is what we have and that scene being there just
7:58
does not make sense. Either way, Michael losing her
8:06
life is a direct result of John Paul Miller, whether he drove
8:12
her to do it or somebody did it themselves.
8:15
By the way, I want to be clear, I don't think Johnny Jacobs is
8:18
involved with her death at all, at all, at all.
8:23
Just the scene doesn't make sense and it's hard to recreate
8:27
the scene because the water levels change so drastically.
8:31
So just heartbreaking to be there to finally pay my respect,
8:38
to finally see where this beautiful young woman lost her
8:41
life. And then the next day came John
8:43
Paul Miller's hearing. And as many of you have been
8:47
following me, I've been covering this case, which will be coming
8:51
up on two years in April. We're almost there.
8:55
And y'all know my run insurance with this man.
8:57
Y'all know the threats to my family.
8:58
Y'all know the fake phone calls I've received, the attempts to
9:05
defame my name, the attempts to lie about me, the attempts to
9:10
ruin my marriage by this man by John Paul Miller and he has gone
9:17
on national television bringing up my name, accusing me of awful
9:22
things on national TV. One of those people that I
9:27
talked to told me that she told her two years ago, if I ever
9:31
commit suicide, I'm going to go to this place in Lumberton, the
9:35
State Park or something like that.
9:36
So I probably wouldn't want to name her because I saw this
9:40
friend one time here in public for 30 seconds.
9:43
And of course, Robbie S Harvey, as usual, got somebody to take a
9:47
picture and destroy the girl's life, brought up her past and
9:50
horrible things about her. So people are scared to tell the
9:52
truth or to talk about the good things of Micah because of the
9:55
social media. So this friend.
9:58
Says that Micah. Told her if I'm.
10:01
Going to take my life. I will probably do it in
10:03
Lumberton River State Park. She told me that after Micah
10:05
passed away, but she told me that Micah told her that two
10:07
years ago. Yeah.
10:08
Did she say why? Why that location?
10:10
She said because Micah told her it was peaceful and outdoors,
10:12
and Micah did love the outdoors, loved the outdoors.
10:15
Vacations were outdoor vacations because that's what she loved.
10:18
But. Has she ever been there?
10:20
No, not that I know of. Not ever that I know of.
10:24
So I made a promise to myself, and for the first time in this
10:29
whole story, I must admit that a little bit of this court date
10:35
was about myself. A little bit of Monday was about
10:40
myself. Because I made a promise that I
10:44
would be there on day one to look him in the eye and to
10:51
remind him that I wasn't giving up.
10:56
And that was his moment to say all those things to my face.
11:04
And like the coward he is, he ran.
11:21
He had a chance to do everything, to say everything,
11:28
to accuse me of the things right there to my face.
11:34
And he ran because that's the type of man he is.
11:40
That's the type of narcissistic abuser he is.
11:47
And then after the court case, he snuck out of the back so he
11:51
didn't have to face the people standing up for his wife.
11:58
But we did get the opportunity to talk to his attorneys.
12:03
Yeah. We'll.
12:04
We'll have court hearings where everything's going to come out.
12:07
We look. Forward to that is it an excuse
12:08
me is it is it unusual that how do your families.
12:10
Feel you represent the murder. Is it unusual that he's waived
12:14
his right to a speedy trial? How?
12:15
Do your. Family feel.
12:16
I don't think it's unusual to wave, do you?
12:18
Have daughters, Speedy. Trial at this point in time how
12:20
do you feel about them Yeah, we're we're.
12:22
Do you want this man out on the street?
12:25
Is your. Daughters out there.
12:26
We'll we'll answer all the questions in a courtroom.
12:28
That's where we're going to put everything out there.
12:30
And so we look forward to. That are you?
12:31
I still have freedom of speech, right?
12:33
Are you aware of the minors he's accused of raping?
12:36
Yeah. Again, I mean the best we're
12:38
going to say today is that we look forward to doing answering
12:41
all those questions. I understand, I understand, but
12:44
but are you aware of the minors? Are you aware of the minors
12:47
involved in this? So again, I think.
12:49
It's useful to to focus on what happened in court today.
12:51
He's played. Not guilty.
12:52
And again, we look forward to defending him vigorously as this
12:56
case unfolds in. The future.
12:57
Do you know when you guys will be back in court?
12:59
No, we don't vigorously. Wow.
13:00
Are you planning there? Is the phase?
13:06
Are you playing it? Are you expecting more charges
13:08
to come? Yeah, again, that's the best
13:10
best we can give you is what we've.
13:12
Said is there is there anything? That you can.
13:13
The family The shop is over in three weeks.
13:16
In two weeks. Does it take to represent a
13:20
murder? How much money does it take?
13:23
Thank you. Now, I want to address one thing
13:40
before we go deeper into what the attorneys had to say, which
13:44
essentially was nothing. Many of you in my comments
13:48
section complained about the woman screaming in the
13:51
background. I'm not going to reveal who that
13:53
woman is, but let me tell you this.
13:57
That woman deserve to let it all out.
14:01
That woman deserved to let it go.
14:07
Because let me tell y'all, I've told you that there are many
14:11
witnesses behind the scenes that are speaking, that are meeting
14:15
with the FBI, that are doing their part in this story.
14:19
But they're doing exactly what I just told you behind the scenes.
14:24
Many of you are familiar with the witnesses that you've
14:26
already seen, like Charlotte and Angela and others in this case
14:30
who have been willing to go on TV, that have been willing to
14:33
speak with me on camera. But there are far more behind
14:38
the scenes that will do anything and everything to expose this
14:45
man and that woman. Yelling is one of them.
14:51
And it was the first time in almost two years she spoke out
14:56
publicly. And what was great about this
15:01
court case this day was there were a ton of witnesses showing
15:09
their faces for the first time. It was a ton of people doing
15:18
their part, showing their faces for the first time.
15:25
And there's still a ton more behind the scenes that you won't
15:28
hear from until after it's all over.
15:30
There's still a ton more behind the scenes doing their part that
15:34
you won't hear from until after it's all over.
15:39
And I keep telling you that more is coming as we heard from the
15:43
US Attorney, that more is coming, that this is an ongoing
15:48
investigation. Because here's the key.
15:51
The charges that he has now, cyber stalking and lying to the
15:54
feds require no witnesses. And he's obviously waived his
15:59
right to a speedy trial. When could he be back in court?
16:03
Do we know? He could ask for a trial as
16:06
early as March. Should he request that, it's
16:09
absolutely his right to do so and the government would be
16:11
prepared to to try that case. How long would a trial like this
16:16
take? You know, it's, it's hard to
16:18
estimate, but knowing everything that we know, that could be a
16:21
week, maybe 2. Is that Pretty Little further
16:23
investigation too when it might come up?
16:26
We're talking about the facts as presented today in in the in the
16:30
indictments. With the the investigation, how
16:33
long this took, I mean I believe it was more than 12 months.
16:36
I mean it was this is this pretty typical a time for it,
16:40
for the investigation? I'll say that FBI, as well as
16:44
our local partners that helped us on this case were incredibly
16:47
thorough, thorough, detail oriented.
16:49
They left no stone unturned. And when they were ready and we
16:53
were ready, we brought the charges as soon as we could.
16:55
Did you say how many witnesses or victims you guys?
17:01
Is there a specific reason why this got picked up on the
17:04
federal level? Yeah, we have no comment on
17:08
that. We just work with our law
17:09
enforcement partners and. Was this their?
17:13
That's all right. The investigation is ongoing as
17:16
we've stated. Was this a request by local
17:19
authorities to get you guys involved or?
17:22
We're just going to stick with there was investigation, the
17:25
facts took us where they were and that's why we're in court
17:28
today. Finally, if you have anything to
17:30
say to the victim's family. We're in constant contact with
17:35
the victim's family, we're trying to respect them as
17:38
they're going through this because while Micah's gone,
17:41
she's certainly not forgotten and we want to stand by them
17:44
through this whole process and I think we'd be happy with today's
17:47
result. And our victim advocate is
17:49
working very hard on this case. Our team is with the family.
17:53
They eventually be involved in it.
17:59
They they certainly have the right to be there.
18:01
I'm not going to comment on whether or not they'd be
18:03
subpoenaed and we force them to go, but they are fully
18:05
supportive the investigation. They just don't want to be here
18:09
today. Understood.
18:10
Last thing for you, Sir, that you're the top guy.
18:13
You know, you don't show up to everything.
18:14
Is there a reason why you showed up to this today?
18:16
I was here to support my team. I was very impressed with what
18:20
was presented in court today. As as always, am with Elle and
18:23
other lawyers in our office across the.
18:25
District, the charges he has now can be proven through emails and
18:30
text messages and phone calls. It doesn't require witnesses.
18:34
And I can tell you now that the people the FBI have met with,
18:39
some of them don't even know Micah.
18:43
The people that the FBI have met with have nothing to do with
18:47
Micah and it has everything to do with the finances of this
18:51
whole thing. Has everything to do with Solid
18:57
Rock Church. Has everything to do with the
18:59
loads of cash coming in from that bar.
19:08
I can confirm now, since they brought it up in court, that
19:13
John Paul Miller has a large safe filled with cash, silver
19:20
coins, silver bars and collectibles.
19:25
Micah told us that and others told us that, that large sums of
19:34
cash, we're coming in every couple of weeks from Crocodile
19:38
Rocks. And I can tell you, at least on
19:41
John Paul's part, none of that was reported to the IRS.
19:47
None. So there is more coming.
19:53
Couple other things that I learned this week that isn't
19:59
surprising to any of you, but it's important.
20:05
Micah had plans the night she died.
20:12
Micah had plans with multiple people.
20:17
On Saturday night, Micah had plans with multiple people on
20:20
Sunday, Micah had plans with multiple people on Monday, and I
20:25
have already confirmed that Micah had a ice bath appointment
20:29
at a local day spa. Micah had plans to live her life
20:40
and we had already heard from Micah's family that she told
20:47
them that if she ended up with a bullet in her head, John Paul
20:51
Miller did it. We now know that as soon as two
20:58
days prior to Micah's, Beth Micah's death, excuse me there,
21:04
that she told multiple people that he is going to kill me
21:13
again. John Paul Miller is not charged
21:15
with the death of Micah Miller, but he will be held accountable
21:19
for her death. I don't believe John Paul Miller
21:24
pulled the trigger himself. He was in a different city.
21:27
But he is 100% responsible for Micah's death and he will pay.
21:38
And there is more to come.
