(NewsNation) — Mika Miller’s father, Michael Francis, says John-Paul Miller’s TikToks about his estranged wife’s death are a “direct denial” and that the South Carolina pastor “should be in jail.”

“He’s using these things to inflame the public in hopes that they will forget about the explosive thing that happened on April 27,” Francis said during an appearance Thursday on “Elizabeth Vargas Reports.”

In April, Mica Miller was found dead from a gunshot wound, and police ruled her death a suicide. Details emerged about her marriage, divorce and repeated calls to the police over the actions of her estranged husband. Mika Miller’s family members are calling for further investigations into her death, which occurred while she was seeking a divorce from John-Paul Miller.

This week, John-Paul Miller shared a video on TikTok in which he claims to have over “350 pieces of evidence” in his wife’s death.

“I look forward to presenting over 350 pieces of evidence. … You will be shocked by some of the things Mica says. We will find out who is really responsible for my wife’s death,” John-Paul Miller said in the recording. “And Mika will get justice.”

John-Paul explained that the videos would include text messages and emails sent before his wife’s death, adding: “People forget that Mica corresponded with me more than anyone on Earth.”

On TikTok, the pastor condemned rumors circulating online about his and his wife’s relationship before her death, promising to release a multi-part video series featuring his testimony.

He said his videos would disprove her family’s claims. He also added that his silence until now was “nothing more than wisdom and self-control” on his part.

Francis believes John-Paul Miller is “using it as a distraction to try to get support.”
