A sheriff has called on the FBI to assist in the investigation into the death of a South Carolina pastor's wife, despite initially being ruled a suicide.
Mica Miller, 30, was found dead of an alleged suicide in April; however, investigators say she called 911 moments before she was found dead at a state party in North Carolina, roughly an hour north of her home in Myrtle Beach.
Mica's death comes just days after she told a police officer that she was afraid for her life after discovering a GPS tracker on her car and a razor blade in her tire.
She and her pastor husband, John Paul Miller, were also in the midst of a separation, according to ABC 6.
He has since been relieved of his duties by the church.
At the memorial service, the once-pastor spoke of his wife: "I went down about four times this week, but each time it still didn't hit me."
"I thought she was going to wake up. I even tried to raise her from the dead."
While new images released by authorities show Mica leaving her house, buying a gun, and stopping at a petrol station near the park, followed by the 911 call, Mica's family and friends still remain unconvinced she took her own life.
"We were talking about her coming to church Sunday," said Mica's friend, Angela Clark.
"Just life stuff, just her moving forward," added Clark.
Shortly before her death, Mica posted on social media:
"Please share this with anyone struggling with leaving a dangerous situation."
"God hates divorce because it hurts people. But does abuse hurt people? How do you think God feels about that?" wrote Mica.
The investigation is ongoing.
