True Crime Today | Daily True Crime News & Interviews

Mica Miller called police at least seven times, reporting harassment, tire slashing, and surveillance, telling officers she feared for her life. Every time, her husband John-Paul Miller had a story ready — telling officers she was bipolar, schizophrenic, having an episode — then filed a mental health pick-up order and took her phone, laptop, purse, and car, claiming he was stopping her from overspending. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott calls it pathologizing the victim: terrorize a woman privately, then use her own trauma response to make her look unstable to the people she's begging for help. Federal prosecutors allege JP tracked her car, contacted her more than fifty times in a single day, and posted an intimate photo of her online without consent. Two 911 calls Mica made in February 2024, later published by FITSNews, reveal even more — one reporting that JP's adult son Logan Ryan Hardee made an unwanted advance toward her in her own kitchen, the other reporting him following her around town armed and living in the house she'd fled. Logan already faced a felony domestic violence charge tied to a different woman's hospitalization. Two 2025 civil lawsuits allege JP and his 77-year-old father used their churches and a school to gain access to underage girls across two decades; JP denies it and countersued, while his father never answered and lost by default. JP's federal cyberstalking trial is set for October 2026.

A Plymouth County jury is deciding whether Lindsay Clancy is criminally responsible for killing her three children, and the case hinges on two competing timelines that both last less than twenty minutes.  Prosecutors say Clancy sent her husband Patrick out for Thai food, then used that window to take Cora, Dawson, and Callan to the basement and kill them one at a time with exercise bands. ADA Jennifer Sprague told the jury that afterward, Clancy missed a phone call, called the person back, held a normal conversation, and hung up — behavior, prosecutors argue, a woman controlled entirely by a hallucination shouldn't be capable of.  The defense says the hallucination had already finished by then. Clancy described a male voice, never heard before or since, that arrived on the afternoon of January 24, 2023, and told her this was her last chance to kill her children and herself. It lasted roughly eighteen minutes and stopped the instant the children were dead. Defense psychiatrists Paul Zeizel and Phillip Resnick both diagnosed postpartum psychosis and testified Clancy had no understanding that what she was doing was wrong. Resnick evaluated Andrea Yates under nearly identical circumstances years earlier.  The prosecution's forensic psychiatrist Gregory Saathoff disagreed sharply, telling jurors a command hallucination vanishing the second its command is carried out doesn't match how psychosis actually behaves. Defense attorney Reddington's closing shifted the blame toward thirteen psychiatric medications and providers who never coordinated Clancy's care.  Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta covered the trial from inside the courtroom. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer has spent her career reading exactly this kind of behavioral evidence. Tony Brueski gets both of their takes as the jury weighs a case where the experts, and the hosts, don't see it the same way.

A month before the killings, Lindsay Clancy's handwriting stopped looking like handwriting. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington showed the jury her journal entries from December 2022 and called them chicken scratches — proof, he argued, that her mind was already unraveling before anyone outside her house noticed.  Reddington built his case around a chart too: lorazepam, sertraline, hydroxyzine, buspirone, trazodone, prescription after prescription piled onto a new mother by providers who never once compared notes. The defense's final witness, forensic psychiatrist Phillip Resnick — who evaluated Andrea Yates in her own case decades ago — told this Plymouth County jury Lindsay Clancy was clearly psychotic when she killed Cora, Dawson, and Callan.  The prosecution's own experts complicated their case. Forensic psychologist Kirk Heilbrun told jurors this was a serious suicide attempt accompanied by killing her children out of love, because Clancy couldn't bear to leave them behind. Forensic psychiatrist Gregory Saathoff, under defense questioning, agreed the prosecution's opening statement had minimized what Clancy was actually experiencing — and flagged what he called significant inconsistencies in how she described the voice that told her to kill them.  ADA Jennifer Sprague's closing argued something colder: that Clancy made a rational choice, that her children were the only thing keeping her from her own death, and that she left them in the basement and went upstairs to finish what she'd started.  The jury spent three and a half hours deliberating on their first day and went home without a verdict. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer and criminal defense attorney Bob Motta sit down with Tony Brueski to pick apart a prosecution case that may have undercut itself.

A Las Vegas jury convicted Duane “Keffe D” Davis of first-degree murder in Tupac Shakur's killing in about three hours — built entirely on Davis's own words. A 2008 federal proffer. A 2009 police interview. A 2017 documentary. A 2019 memoir he called the real truth. No weapon. No Cadillac. No phone records. No surveillance. Just a man who couldn't stop talking, for eighteen straight years, until a jury decided that talking was enough to convict him. His defense tried the opposite play: almost two hours in closing arguments insisting every one of those statements — to cops, to cameras, to his own publisher — was a lie. It didn't work. Davis is facing life in prison, has told the judge he'll appeal, and asked for his phone and laptop back before he goes. Here's where it gets bigger than one man's sentence. Davis is the same source who's named Sean “Diddy” Combs in this murder since 2008, alleging a million-dollar payoff routed through a Harlem contact who is no longer alive to confirm or deny it. Combs has denied any involvement. Police have repeatedly said he's never been named a suspect. Every other person in a position to independently back up Davis's account is dead. So the case against Combs was always going to rest on whether Davis is believable. A jury just said yes, enough to send him to prison for life. His own lawyers spent two hours in the same courtroom saying no, not even close. That's not a contradiction true crime fans should let slide — and it's the exact question we're digging into.

Before he ever met Mica, pastor John-Paul Miller's first wife stated in a sworn affidavit that he had confessed a prostitution addiction to his own congregation. That history sets up everything that follows. JP's father, Reginald, built a church empire in the South Carolina Lowcountry that later collapsed under federal felony convictions for forced labor, and two civil lawsuits now allege both father and son used their positions to gain access to minors through their churches and schools. Mica moved to Myrtle Beach at 15 to work at Solid Rock Church, and told police JP had controlled her since she was a child. A federal indictment filed in December 2025 alleges seventeen months of cyberstalking — tracking devices, more than fifty contacts in a single day, interference with her finances and medical care. She filed at least eight police reports. JP still held healthcare power of attorney over her. On April 25, 2024, Mica served him with divorce papers. Forty-eight hours later, she was found dead at a North Carolina state park, ruled a suicide, after telling a friend JP threatened to put a bullet in her head and stage it as her own doing. He was verified in Charleston and has not been charged. The next morning he preached a full sermon before addressing her death, later claiming he tried to raise her from the dead. Four days after that, he was seen at a bar with Suzie Skinner, whom he married thirteen months later. His federal trial is set for October 2026, and the Netflix documentary “Death of the Pastor's Wife” has already reignited scrutiny of the entire case.
