After watching Netflix’s Death of the Pastor’s Wife, viewers are left with another surprising question:
Who is Suzie Skinner, the woman John-Paul “JP” Miller married after Mica Miller’s death?
JP Miller married Suzie Skinner on June 1, 2025, a little more than a year after Mica died in April 2024.
But Suzie was not someone JP met after Mica’s death.
She was already connected to JP, Mica and their church community before then — and the Netflix documentary revisits allegations about their relationship that have made viewers curious about her story.
Here is what is confirmed, what has been alleged, and what remains unresolved.
Who Is Suzie Skinner?
Suzie Skinner is the current wife of South Carolina pastor John-Paul “JP” Miller.
She and her former husband, Christopher “Chris” Skinner, were connected to Solid Rock Church in Myrtle Beach, where JP served as pastor and Mica Miller was also deeply involved.
Suzie later became part of the controversy surrounding JP and Mica’s marriage.
After Mica’s death, JP and Suzie eventually married.
Their wedding took place in Myrtle Beach on June 1, 2025.
Suzie is JP Miller’s third wife.
Did JP Miller Know Suzie Before Mica Died?
Yes.
This is one of the main reasons viewers are searching for Suzie after watching Death of the Pastor’s Wife.
JP and Suzie knew each other through the church community before Mica’s death.
The Netflix documentary presents allegations from people close to Mica that JP and Suzie had a relationship while JP was still married to Mica.
Mica reportedly suspected that her husband was having an affair with Suzie.
These allegations have received renewed attention because JP later married Suzie.
However, it is important to distinguish allegations presented by Mica’s family, friends and documentary participants from facts established in court.
Did JP Miller and Suzie Skinner Have an Affair?
The Netflix documentary revisits allegations that JP and Suzie were romantically involved before Mica died.
According to accounts from people close to Mica, she believed JP was having an affair with Suzie.
Reports about the documentary also describe Mica confronting JP over the alleged relationship.
But viewers should be careful with the wording here.
The alleged affair has been discussed by Mica’s relatives and others featured in coverage of the case, but it should not be presented as a criminal finding.
The confirmed fact is that JP and Suzie married in June 2025, after Mica’s death.
When Did Mica Miller Die?
Mica Miller died on April 27, 2024, at Lumber River State Park in North Carolina.
Authorities determined that she died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound and ruled her death a suicide.
JP Miller has not been charged with causing Mica’s death.
He is, however, facing separate federal charges related to alleged conduct toward Mica before she died.
In December 2025, a federal grand jury indicted JP on charges of cyberstalking and making false statements to federal investigators.
He pleaded not guilty and remains free on bond while awaiting trial.
When Did JP Miller Marry Suzie Skinner?
JP Miller and Suzie Skinner married on June 1, 2025.
That was approximately 13 months after Mica’s death.
Their marriage attracted considerable attention because of the previous allegations concerning their relationship.
The release of Death of the Pastor’s Wife has now brought that marriage back into the spotlight.
For viewers encountering the story for the first time, the timeline is important:
April 27, 2024 — Mica Miller dies.
June 1, 2025 — JP Miller marries Suzie Skinner.
December 2025 — JP Miller is federally indicted on cyberstalking and false-statement charges.
August 2026 — Netflix releases Death of the Pastor’s Wife.
That sequence helps explain why viewers have become so interested in Suzie.
What Happened to Suzie Skinner’s First Husband?
This is where the story becomes even more complicated.
Suzie was previously married to Christopher “Chris” Skinner.
Chris had been paralyzed following a car accident and used a wheelchair.
He died in 2021 after drowning in a swimming pool.
His death was initially determined to be accidental.
However, Chris Skinner’s death later received renewed scrutiny, and authorities began re-examining the circumstances after new information was presented.
This does not mean that authorities have determined his death was a homicide.
It also does not mean Suzie has been charged in connection with his death.
As of the latest publicly available reporting, no one has been charged with causing Chris Skinner’s death.
That distinction is extremely important.
Why Is Chris Skinner’s Death Being Discussed Again?
The Netflix documentary brought together several parts of the story that many viewers had never encountered before.
Suzie was connected to the same church community as JP and Mica.
Her husband Chris died in 2021.
Mica later reportedly suspected a relationship between JP and Suzie.
Mica died in 2024.
JP and Suzie married in 2025.
Seen together, that timeline naturally generates questions.
But a suspicious-looking timeline is not the same thing as evidence of a crime.
That is why responsible coverage must separate confirmed events, allegations and speculation.
Are JP Miller and Suzie Skinner Still Together?
Available reporting indicates that JP and Suzie remain married.
Netflix reports that after the Solid Rock Church property was sold, JP continued preaching to a much smaller congregation in temporary locations around the Myrtle Beach area.
Suzie has reportedly continued participating in worship alongside him.
JP remains free on bond while awaiting his federal trial.
Has Suzie Skinner Been Charged With Any Crime Related to These Deaths?
No publicly confirmed criminal charge establishes Suzie Skinner as responsible for either Mica Miller’s death or Chris Skinner’s death.
This point matters because true-crime documentaries often generate intense online speculation.
Mica’s death was officially ruled a suicide.
Chris Skinner’s death was originally determined to be an accidental drowning, although it later received renewed scrutiny.
Questions surrounding these cases may remain, but questions are not criminal findings.
Why Is Suzie Skinner Such a Big Part of the Netflix Story?
Because her story intersects with several of the documentary’s biggest questions.
She knew JP before Mica died.
Mica reportedly suspected that JP and Suzie were having an affair.
Suzie’s own husband had died several years earlier.
And JP eventually married Suzie after Mica’s death.
That does not prove wrongdoing.
But it explains why viewers who finish Death of the Pastor’s Wife often immediately search:
Who is Suzie Skinner?
When did JP Miller marry her?
Did Mica know about Suzie?
What happened to Suzie’s first husband?
Those questions have become part of the larger public interest surrounding the documentary.
Where Is JP Miller Now?
JP Miller is currently awaiting federal trial on charges unrelated to directly causing Mica’s death.
He has been charged with cyberstalking Mica and making false statements to federal investigators.
He pleaded not guilty.
As of September 2026, he remains free on bond, with the federal case scheduled for the October 2026 court term.

Final Thoughts
Suzie Skinner’s role in Death of the Pastor’s Wife attracts attention because her story connects multiple parts of the Mica Miller case.
What is confirmed is straightforward:
Suzie knew JP Miller before Mica died.
Mica’s loved ones have described allegations concerning JP and Suzie’s relationship.
Mica died in April 2024.
JP and Suzie married in June 2025.
Suzie’s first husband, Chris Skinner, died in a drowning in 2021, and his death later received renewed scrutiny.
What should not be done is turn unanswered questions into accusations.
Neither the Netflix documentary nor online speculation replaces a criminal investigation or a court finding.
That distinction is especially important in a case where the unusual timeline naturally leaves viewers with so many questions.
