TSP #65 - Leaked Medical Records Show Mica Francis’ Confusion Over Her Diagnosis + Bowen Turner Case Heads for First Appeal

Leaked medical records from Mica Francis’ in-patient and outpatient visits to mental health facilities were leaked to the public over the past week, and investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are diving in. According to the records — some of which were sent directly to Luna Shark Media and others that were posted online by a TikToker sympathetic to JP Miller’s plight — Mica was confused about her diagnosis and its symptoms.At the same time, these records raise questions about how Mica was being treated and where clinicians were getting some of their information about her alleged behavior. In one report, the clinician notes that Mica recognized the need to “listen to her husband when he raises concerns.”Also on the show, one of the two appeals in the Bowen Turner case is set to be heard and it’s a big deal.Next week attorneys representing one of Bowen’s victims — whom he pleaded guilty to assaulting — will argue that the prosecution and defenses deprived her from her constitutional right to be present at Bowen’s plea hearing. How the court rules could have a lasting impact on the future of victims’ rights in South Carolina. We will broadcast the hearing LIVE for Luna Shark Premium members next Tuesday at 10 am ET...

TSP #64 - 'How Selfish And Ungodly’: What JP Miller’s ‘Evidence’ Says About Mica’s Mental Health (Part Two) + Murdaugh Update

Investigative reporters Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell continue their look into the Mica Francis case with Part Two of their deep dive into the pile of “evidence” her estranged husband — Myrtle Beach Pastor JP Miller — filed in her probate case. The evidence was meant to support JP’s claims that he was a good husband and not the cause of Mica’s death this past spring. Instead, Mandy and Liz are finding that the evidence — when pieced together — provides a disturbing look at the early days of the couple’s marriage. From the very beginning, JP seems to have seized on Mica’s alleged bipolar disorder diagnosis and appears to have used it as a way to contain and control Mica. Also on today’s episode, the Alex Murdaugh Clown Show is coming back to town. This week, jilted Juror 785 and Juror 630 make their television premier as they help Team Murdaugh manipulate the headlines ahead of Alex’s hearing in the state Supreme Court for his conviction murder conviction appeal.We are also very excited for our Cups Up At Coco’s On The Beach September 28th at 5pm. We’ll toast Cups Up to Summer with a little low-key summer beach bash, book signing, and happy hour. Mix, mingle and bring your copy of Blood On Their Hands to get it signed.

TSP #63 - ‘The Scariest Thing Of Our Entire Lives’: The Horrifying Truth Revealed From JP Miller’s Evidence - Part One

Investigative reporters Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell continue their in-depth coverage of the Mica Francis case. Earlier this month, exhibits filed with Horry County Probate Court by Mica’s estranged husband, Myrtle Beach Pastor JP Miller, were made available to the public. To JP Miller, they are evidence that Mica Miller was a sick woman and he only wanted the best for her — that her estrangement from him was the result of family pressure and not because of anything she felt. He is adamant that he bears no responsibility in her April 27 death. But does the evidence show what JP says it does? Over the next few episodes, Mandy and Liz will analyze the exhibits piece by piece and discuss what this newly revealed information actually says about JP’s relationship with Mica. In Part One, they explore the first two months of Mica’s marriage to JP and specifically the events that occurred in the 30 days between Mica’s surgery on Dec. 1, 2017, and their church wedding at the end of the year. JP maintains that Mica experienced a bout of post-anesthetic psychosis and that the effects of this lasted in some form or other until her death. But is that really what happened? A look at emails and texts from that time seem to point to something else … and that something looks a whole lot like coercive control. Also on the show, a FOIA request from Luna Shark reveals new information in Mica’s case. In February of this year, Mica Francis reached out to the South Carolina Secretary of State’s Office to report that JP had allegedly stolen her notary seal.Premium Members get an extended episode with analysis of the so-called “undecipherable email” from 2017 that JP claims shows the depth of Mica’s break from reality....Join Luna Shark Premium today at Lunashark.Supercast.com.

TSP #62 - 'They Feared He Had Killed and Buried Me Somewhere’: New 911 Calls in Mica Francis Case Reveal Haunting Details

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are once again forced to scrap their plans for an episode topic because of breaking news.On Tuesday, TikTok user JusticeNTruth4SCcourts posted never-before published 911 calls from Mica Francis and her estranged husband Pastor JP Miller. This caught Mandy’s and Liz’s attention because they had FOIA’d Horry County for just about everything one can think of or related to this case and yet these calls were not disclosed to us. This public agency said to us that they gave all they found....? Are the police protecting themselves and violating public information laws? Or is this trove of calls now part of a bigger investigation into what led to Mica’s death in April? Mandy and Liz break down the new calls and what they mean to the timeline. They also consider new information revealed by both Mica and JP and how it fits into the bigger picture. What role — if any — did JP’s oldest son play in the harassment Mica was experiencing in February, March and April? And did Mica actually sign the power of attorney that granted JP complete authority over her medical decisions? The deeper the rabbit hole goes, the more sunlight Mandy and Liz seek to bring in this case. Join Luna Shark Premium today at Lunashark.Supercast.com.

TSP #61 - JP Miller Airs More Dirty Laundry... Was It an Attempt to Pressure Mica’s Family into a Settlement?

After Monday’s settlement was announced between Myrtle Beach Pastor JP Miller and the family of his estranged wife, Mica Francis, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell take a look at what led up to this moment.For the past two weeks, JP Miller has gone on a media tour … and when that tour didn’t seem to get the reaction he wanted out of the public, he appears to have made a decision: It’s time to post the recording from the night of March 11, when JP discovered that Mica was with another man. And not just that! Another video was posted: the full two-hour recording from JP’s NewsNation interview, in which JP’s comments about Mica’s family — which were edited out from the broadcast — could now be heard. Both recordings were posted by TrueCrimeRI, the mysterious TikToker who seems to have partnered with JP in an alleged effort to get “Justice for Mica.” As JP and his circle publicly celebrate the settlement — and celebrate the call from Mica’s family to end the Justice for Mica protests outside Solid Rock at Market Common Church— we are learning so much more about the fight that Mica had ahead of her in her divorce if she had lived … Visit our new events page Lunasharkmedia.com/events where you can learn about the upcoming in-person and virtual appearances from hosts or submit your own ideas at lunasharkmedia.com/newevents.

TSP #60 - A Breakdown of JP Miller’s Media Tour + Mica Francis’ Best Friend Wants Accountability

Today, investigative reporters Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell take a look at everything JP Miller has said on the record thus far and offer an analysis of how his statements jibe and conflict with each other and with police and court records.Over the past month, Pastor JP Miller of Solid Rock Ministries in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, has taken to TikTok videos to combat what he says are lies being told about him after his wife Mica's death.Over the past two weeks, though, those videos have come down and JP appears to be on a media tour of sorts, starting with a two-hour interview he gave to TikTok user FloDaddy, a sit-down interview with a Myrtle Beach newspaper and a nationally televised hour-long segment on NewsNation.Also on the show, Mica Francis’ best friend Charlotte Korn returns to discuss her thoughts on the cease and desist letter JP’s lawyer sent her (along with a demand for evidence) and talk about what she thinks of JP’s interviews.After listening to today's episode, catch Mandy on two amazing podcasts that published this week:Wicked Words PodcastCrime Analyst With Laura Richards PodcastVisit our new events page Lunasharkmedia.com/events where you can learn about the upcoming in-person and virtual appearances from hosts or submit your own ideas at lunasharkmedia.com/neweventsPremium Members also get access to episode videos, case files, live trial coverage and exclusive live experiences with our hosts.

TSP #59 - 911 calls shed light on JP Miller’s True Colors And Cohort + Stephen Smith Officer Claps Back (Sort of)

Investigative reporters Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell share two newly released 911 calls in the Mica Francis case. In the first call, Mica’s estranged husband Pastor JP Miller can be heard in the background as his loyal friend and associate pastor Tricia Ross tries to get Mica arrested by accusing her of theft. As Mandy and Liz continue to piece together the days and weeks leading up to Mica’s death in April, they’re finding more and more evidence of the abject cruelty Mica might have been experiencing in February and March as the system got weaponized against her. In the second call, Pastor JP gives away what kind of church leader he is after calling police on a “bum” seeking water and reportedly in the middle of a potential medical crisis. Also on the show, in a TikTok interview, JP Miller says that before she died Mica tried to get JP to give her a handwritten apology letter detailing all the things he was sorry for. JP says “apology letter” but it sounds almost like Mica was trying to get JP to handwrite a confession. Was she working with the FBI before she died? Or was she just trying to get leverage in her divorce? Visit our new events page Lunasharkmedia.com/events where you can learn about the upcoming in-person and virtual appearances from hosts or submit your own ideas at lunasharkmedia.com/neweventsPremium Members also get access to episode videos, case files, live trial coverage and exclusive live experiences with our hosts.

TSP #58 - Stephen Smith UPDATE And Why the Strongest Lead in the Case Is Marred by Integrity Questions + JP Miller Cries Harassment in Wake of Mica Francis’ Death

Tragically this week, two abused women were failed by the justice system and allegedly killed by their partners — Lauren Johansen of Mississippi Stephanie Francis of Rhode Island. On today’s episode we’ll get into that and a lot more on why our justice system needs to be paying attention. Investigative reporters Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell give an update in the Stephen Smith case during the ninth anniversary of his mysterious death. Why did Highway Patrol stop looking into Stephen’s death right after receiving its strongest lead to date? Mandy and Liz look into the track record of the police officer behind a tip that introduced two new names into the investigation in 2015.Also on today’s episode, 911 calls and police records show the chaos of Pastor JP Miller’s life in the aftermath of two big scandals he brought onto his church — his 2015 affair with Mica Francis and Mica’s recent death. After combing through dozens of reports involving the church, True Sunlight has a better picture about how JP and those in his circle have regarded the backlash. In one harrowing call to police — in which JP claims to be followed by an armed individual — police get a taste of JP’s flair for drama and the many contradictions of his personality. Lots to learn in this 58th episode of True Sunlight and more to come as Alex Murdaugh's appeal clock ticks down, Buster's defendants' responses are imminent and the FBI continues to look into Mica's case...Stay Tuned, Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight...☀️Episode Resources:Mica's List & Mica's Law, DocumentsLauren Johansen - WLOX articleBuster Murdaugh's Defamation Case If you are in crisis, please call, text or chat with the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988, or contact the Crisis Text Line by texting TALK to 741741.Join Luna Shark Premium today at Lunashark.Supercast.com.

TSP #57 - ‘40 Days and 40 Nights’: 911 Call and Reports Show Harassment and Stalking Patterns in Mica Francis Case + How The Medical Examiner Failed Mica

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell continue their coverage of the Mica Francis case, starting with JP Miller’s shock and horror upon discovering a shirtless photo has been posted of him online.Social media came hard for JP this week with more accusations surrounding the tattoo of Mica’s signature he has on his torso. Solid Rock Ministries continues its battle with protesters, who were assaulted by a sprinkler this past weekend.Mandy and Liz also break down the contents of the Medical Examiner’s report into Mica’s death — needless to say, the report raises more questions than it answers but mostly Mandy and Liz were astounded at its lack of thoroughness and its reliance on non-medical evidence. Plus, a newly released 911 call sheds more light onto Mica’s state of mind on March 11, when she filed her restraining order against JP. It also sheds more light onto the broken system that failed Mica — and continues to fail women everywhere.Finally, two police reports filed by JP’s ex-wife outline very familiar accusations of harassment and stalking … as well as very familiar shrugs from law enforcement.Episode Resources:Mica's List & Mica's Law, DocumentsIf you are in crisis, please call, text or chat with the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988, or contact the Crisis Text Line by texting TALK to 741741.Stay Tuned, Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight...☀️Join Luna Shark Premium today at Lunashark.Supercast.com.
