MONDAY MORNING. AUTHORITIES ARE INVESTIGATING THE DEATH OF A SOUTH CAROLINA PASTOR'S WIFE AFTER HER BODY WAS FOUND IN A STATE PARK ABOUT A WEEK AGO. >> PASTOR JOHN PAUL MILLER TOLD HIS CONGREGATION THAT HIS WIFE 30 YEAR-OLD MICAH TOOK HER OWN LIFE AFTER STRUGGLING WITH MENTAL ILLNESS. BUT HER FRIENDS AND FAMILY SAY OTHERWISE AND WANT POLICE TO QUOTE DEEPLY INVESTIGATE. WHAT HAPPENED MORE THAN 100 PEOPLE RALLYING OUTSIDE JOHN PAUL'S CHURCH IN MYRTLE BEACH DEMANDING JUSTICE FOR MY CUP. THIS HAPPENED ON SUNDAY. OUR VERY OWN KELSEY KERNSTINE HAS BEEN DIGGING INTO THE STORY HEALTHY. SOME PRETTY STARTLING COURT DOCUMENTS REVEALING WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED JUST BEFORE MICHAEL DIED. >> THEY REALLY ARE STARTLING ACCORDING TO REPORTS JUST DAYS BEFORE SHE DIED, SHE FILED MULTIPLE TIMES FOR LEGAL SEPARATION FROM HER HUSBAND WERE ALSO LEARNING. SHE EVEN FILED FOR DIVORCE BACK IN OCTOBER. THEN POSTED ON FACEBOOK ABOUT ABUSE.

ACCORDING TO EVERYBODY I ASKED AND THE DESCRIPTIONS THAT I FOUND. IT'S BECAUSE IT HURTS PEOPLE. BUT DOESN'T USE HER PEOPLE.
