Mica Miller's family is furious a scammer kept $10,000 from fundraisers set up in her memory to feed a booze addiction and save her house.

Mica, 30, was found dead in Lumbee River State Park in North Carolina on April 27 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

She took her own life days after serving her husband John Paul Miller, 44, with divorce papers, and police ruled her death a suicide.

As her family grappled with the tragedy, a group of seemingly well-wishing women donated items to an online auction set up by Susan Lynn Nelson.

It sold handmade craft, promising to send all proceeds to Mica's grieving family, and an Etsy page sold T-shirts and other Mica-themed items.

But instead, Nelson kept the cash for herself, spending the money on booze, groceries, and keeping her house out of foreclosure.

She eventually confessed in a TikTok video to taking about $10,000 raised by the four auctions, a keychain sale, and an Etsy page that has since been deleted.

Nelson admitted her actions were 'absolutely vile' and confessed to the 'things that I've done that've been pretty s****y'.

'Yes I have an issue and I am seeking treatment. I'm outpatient right now,' she said.

'I didn't have the money, I had used the money to my personal situation. I'm here to own up to my mistakes, I've got issues that I am seeking help for... there's a habit, yes,' she said.

Nelson set up the auction through the popular TikTok group So Called Mess, where she was the 'bookkeeper', without the family's knowledge. 

Cassie Gainey Mincey, from Loris, South Carolina, who runs the group, said the rest of its leadership had no involvement in Nelson's fundraiser.

'I lied to them, I made them feel like I have everything under control, when in reality I did not,' Nelson said of the other group leaders. 

Nelson initially claimed she stole the money because her house was facing foreclosure, but eventually admitted to also blowing it on her addictions.

Mincey added: 'I want to make it clear that every fundraiser was Sue's idea and every single thing that was done as far as fundraising went only to Sue's accounts.

'She admitted that she spent the money on sex work and alcohol. She first tried to claim it was for her home but then confessed and said that it was not that.' 

Nelson told DailyMail.com she never hired prostitutes, and had no idea where that accusation came from - which prompted awkward conversations with her 17-year-old daughter.



Instead, she portrayed herself as starting out with good intentions and never planning to scam anyone. 

But as her debts rose, she started spending it - thinking she would be able to pay it back in time and no one would ever know.

'I would never have gone into this with the intent of doing anything like this. It was just one thing after another after another… I fell into it,' she said.

'I'm a functional alcoholic, that's been something that I've struggled with my whole life.

'It doesn't mean I'm drunk all the time, you know, I wasn't down here drunk on the floor, spending thousands of dollars every day.   

'But I did spend the money on personal things and bills or whatever. I've been struggling financially because of my business.

'I just assumed that I would be able to recoup it.'

Nelson said the debacle got her fired from her job, trashed the reputation of her marketing business, and humiliated her in her small-town Richmond Hill, Georgia.

'My kids are receiving hate messages and I don't wanna go out in public right now,' she said.

Nelson said she drastically underestimated the time and upfront costs it would take to run the Etsy page and auctions.

'I got overwhelmed. Making the items, shipping the items, being online all day. It was a lot,' she said.

Nelson first ran a sale of dozens of handmade, customized resin keychains, bracelets, earrings, and other craft items she created herself.

Then there were four auctions in June and July that sold more of these craft items, plus other goods donated by herself and others, including furniture, $200 brand new Nike shoes, and a crocheted blanket.

The Etsy store ran in the background, but had high costs both due to the platform and using third-party companies to print the T-shirts.

Nelson said Etsy didn't send all the proceeds for three months because it was a new page, putting her out of pocket to pay the costs.

She said all up about $10,000 was raised, from which fees and shipping costs would be subtracted, along with $1,500 in refunds to disgruntled buyers that she promised to cover herself.

She also owed about $2,000 to other So Called Mess moderators who loaned her money to help cover the 90-day Etsy delay.

'Any unintentional mistakes I've made were never malicious and I'm taking steps to ensure all funds are accounted for and deliver to the family.

'The experience has been incredibly challenging, but my focus remains on resolving these situations and protecting my family's well being.'

Nelson also rebuffed claims of police involvement, saying 'there's been no police at my door, there's been no FBI at my door'.


Mica's sister Abigail Francis said she first learned of the fundraiser on July 20, and asked Nelson for details of the donations.

'I asked for spreadsheets to make sure those who paid for items were receiving them since this group has up to 30 members in all different states,' she wrote in a Facebook post explaining the situation.

Abigail received a spreadsheet with names of buyers, how much they paid, and other details - but said the numbers didn't add up.

The spreadsheet claimed $11,228.39 was raised. The costs were listed as $6,250.36. 

When Abigail queried the huge cost, Nelson's web of lies began to unravel.

Mincey, in live TikTok videos that were hours long, explained they initially believed Nelson's explanations about the missing cash.

'Every time we would reach out to her we would get lies from her about situations and we believed her,' she said.

'We believed everything that she said and so we did defend her and I do apologize for that.'

Nelson even concocted a fake letter from an accountant showing a check was sent to Mica's family - when in fact none was sent at all.

But the date on the forged document was wrong, and she finally confessed when they pushed her about it.

'We finally got her on a call and she admitted that she never sent the money, and that she spent the money,' Mincey said.

Mincey said the group kept what happened quiet until going public as they tried to refund anyone who paid for auctioned items and didn't receive them.

'It's been hell, it's been an absolute f**king nightmare... we were throwing up, I was sobbing, bawling - we were in total shock,' she said.

Nelson said in the TikTok she had a cash offer for her house that would close the following Friday, which would use to pay off what she owed Mica's family.

But she told DailyMail.com she later decided against the fire-sale offer.

Instead, she managed to restructure her loans to buy her enough time to sell the house for what it was worth, and it would be listed next week.

Nelson bought the three-bedroom, two-bathroom house in Richmond Hill, Georgia, for $164,117 in November 2019 and refinanced in three times in four years.

Property records showed a foreclosure auction of Nelson's home set for October 10 was cancelled. It is estimated to be worth $293,000.

Abigail wrote that she was not satisfied with how the situation was handled, and that the family had only received $180 as of October 6.

'These people used Mica's name to gain profit and we cannot be more disappointed,' she wrote.

'We truly do not believe there is a way to track on our end how much money was collected, transferred, or stolen.

'The family had no idea what was going on but are truly upset with the actions of this incident.

'We did not plan on making a statement pertaining to this but since the group made it public we feel the need to clarify what's been going on as we do not condone what has happened on the live stream.'

Mincey, in an emotional TikTok video, insisted the group had no idea about the scam until Nelson confessed to Mica's family on September 24.

'That was the day that we all found out that we were scammed... we had been lied to, we had been used, we were a wreck that day,' she said.

'I was so upset and distraught by it all... that someone we had trusted betrayed us so badly.

'The family has people in their ears who do not have good intentions.'



@socalledmess #honesty parency #ididmybest ♪ 오리지널 사운드 - 소위메스 Mica는 4월에 머리에 총을 쏴 자살했고, 이로 인해 몇 주 후 학대 혐의가 쇄도했습니다. 당국은 밀러와 그의 아내의 자살 사이에 어떠한 연관도 표시하지 않았습니다. 미카와 밀러는 2023년 9월 20일에 처음 헤어졌고, 2월 13일에 이혼이 기각되었습니다. 같은 달 말에 밀러는 3월에 철회된 신청에서 아내를 상대로 별도의 지원 및 유지 관리를 신청했습니다. 11. 그러나 시신으로 발견되기 불과 ​​12일 전인 4월 15일, 미카는 다시 한 번 남편을 상대로 연락금지명령을 구하며 이혼 소송을 제기했다. 그들은 2월 6일에 두 번째로 헤어졌습니다. 그녀의 머리에 총구 자국과 화약 잔류물을 포함한 부검 결과, 나중에 그녀가 스스로 목숨을 끊었고 혈액에서 약물이나 알코올이 발견되지 않았음을 확인했습니다. 그러나 밀러는 결혼하기 몇 년 동안 운모를 손질하고, 차를 훔치기 위해 병원에 데려갔고, 미성년 교회 신도들과 함께 그의 첫 부인을 속인 혐의로 법원 문서에서 기소되었습니다. DailyMail.com은 이전에 그녀가 사망하기 불과 몇 주 전에 페이스북에 자신의 누드 사진을 게시했다고 그를 비난한 방법을 공개했습니다. 이후 밀러는 악의적인 행위를 인정했고 심지어 자신이 보상을 하려고 했다고 주장하기까지 했습니다. 이는 NewsNation에 그 행위가 '사악한' 행위였다고 말했습니다. 이후 3월 14일과 3월 26일에 Mica는 섀시 아래에 자석으로 부착된 추적 장치를 발견한 후 차에서 추적 장치를 발견했다고 보고했습니다. 그녀의 은색 혼다 어코드 도난 혐의에 대한 또 다른 경찰 보고서는 2023년 2월로 거슬러 올라가 그들의 결혼 생활이 무너졌음을 보여줍니다. '고발인이 병원에서 퇴원했을 때 병원 직원은 남편이 그녀의 지갑과 열쇠를 가져갔다고 그녀에게 알렸습니다.' 보고서는 말합니다. '고발인은 남편이 사기로 비자발적 입원을 시작했고 병원에 있는 동안 그녀의 치료를 '훔쳤다'고 믿었습니다.' 시신으로 발견되기 불과 ​​12일 전인 4월 15일, 미카는 다시 한 번 이혼 소송을 제기하고 남편을 상대로 연락 금지 명령을 구했습니다. 그들은 2월 6일 두 번째로 헤어졌다. 마이카의 경찰 보고서에서 가장 외설적인 주장은 그녀보다 14살 많은 밀러가 2017년 결혼하기 전인 10살 때부터 그녀를 '손질'했다는 것이다. 그녀는 10살 때부터 남편을 알고 있었으며 결혼할 때까지 솔리드 록 교회에서 일하는 동안 남편은 그녀를 '손질'했다고 덧붙였다. 밀러의 변호사 러셀 롱은 이것이 '진실과는 거리가 멀다'고 말했다. 그녀는 15세에 머틀 비치로 이사했고, 18세에 다른 남자와 결혼했으며 21세에 이혼했습니다. 그는 “미카 밀러가 정신 질환, 특히 양극성 장애를 앓았으며, 제대로 관리하지 않으면 편집증과 자기 파괴적인 행동을 했다는 사실이 밝혀졌다”고 말했다. 오랫동안 경찰 문서에 기록된 그녀의 주장과 관련해 '최근 그녀가 작성한 일부 보고서는 터무니없다'고 주장해왔습니다. Long은 경찰이 Mica의 죽음을 자살로 판결한 것은 '밀러 목사의 모든 잘못에 대해 완전히 면책을 준다'고 덧붙였습니다. 미카의 여동생 시에라 프란시스(Sierra Francis)는 밀러가 2010년부터 자신을 손질했다는 뜻일 것이라고 뉴스네이션(NewsNation)에 말했다. 그녀의 여동생이 말했듯이 밀러는 2010년부터 자신을 손질해 왔다. 시에라는 밀러를 가장 강력하게 고발한 사람 중 한 명임에도 불구하고 지난 7월 그와 충격적인 합의에 도달해 그를 허용했다. 죽은 아내의 재산을 관리하기 위해. 밀러는 예배가 끝난 뒤 웃으며 완전히 편안한 모습을 보인 뒤 아내가 사망했다고 발표해 신도들을 놀라게 했다. 밀러는 '운모를 위한 정의' 시위대를 공격한 혐의로 이달 초 3급 폭행 및 구타 혐의로 기소됐다. FBI 요원이 그의 아내 미카가 자살한 지 6개월 후인 11월 1일 존 폴 밀러의 머틀 비치 자택을 급습했다. 여러 건의 가중 폭행과 구타 등 범죄 기록을 갖고 있으며 유죄를 인정한 그녀는 신도들에게 자신의 죽음이 '자살'이었다고 말했습니다. “그 사람이 정신적으로 건강하지 않았고 약이 필요해서 찾아가기가 어려웠다는 걸 여러분 모두 알고 계시죠.”라고 그는 말했습니다. 밀러는 '운모를 위한 정의' 시위자를 공격한 혐의로 이달 초 3급 폭행 및 구타 혐의로 기소됐다. 한 목격자는 산드라 카론(Sandra Karon)이라는 여성이 주차장에서 그를 쫓아가며 괴롭히는 사건 장면을 포착했습니다. 그가 도망가자 그녀는 그에게 비명을 질렀고, 그는 돌아서서 그녀와 마주하며 소리쳤다. '무엇을 말했습니까? 당신은 나에게 바로 걸어왔다. 밀러는 그녀에게 다가가 자신의 휴대전화로 그녀의 모자를 두드리며 폭행 혐의를 받은 것으로 알려졌습니다. 폭행 혐의는 며칠 전 밀러의 집에 대한 FBI 급습과 관련이 없었으며 그 이유는 아직 불분명합니다. TikTok노스캐롤라이나
