I was Surprised what Happened to Suzie Skinner after ‘Death of the Pastor’s Wife’ Ended

Suzie Skinner is the third wife of John-Paul Miller, a name you might recognize from the Netflix documentary “The Death of the Pastor’s Wife.” She married JP in 2025, which still makes them newlyweds depending on who you ask.

While the documentary focuses on Mica’s marriage to JP, Suzie Skinner receives a few mentions, mostly in the second episode since it covers when she joined the Solid Rock church.

According to the ending of the documentary, Suzie has taken a larger role in the church as the pastor’s new wife, which at least includes leading worship. The full extent of her role isn’t detailed, and neither she nor JP responded to the requests for comments that those involved in making the documentary sent.

Like Mica, Suzie Met JP When She Joined Solid Rock Church

Suzie receives only a few mentions, but Mica’s marriage contract that she allegedly made to save her marriage with JP included a requirement about JP being faithful to her. This was apparently the result of Mica suspecting that Suzie and JP were having an affair, which was actually the way that Mica and JP’s relationship started.

Mica would end up being told by people who knew these three that they saw JP and Suzie together. Mica and JP’s marriage was already breaking down at this point, and Mica would begin the process of getting a divorce not long after. That divorce process seemed to go as smoothly as rejecting a date went for this Louisville local.

While this part of the timeline is where Suzie is mentioned the most, her background and life at the time she met JP introduces context that the documentary doesn’t dig into, instead limiting it to a general mention with a few comments from people who knew Mica, JP, and Suzie. Suzie isn’t directly heard from for the documentary, so most information about her is given by the people around her and who knew her. Therefore, it’s possible that there are some inaccuracies.

Suzie was married to Chris Skinner when they joined Solid Rock Church after moving to Myrtle Beach. Chris’s sister participated in the documentary and claimed that during the months leading up to his death, Chris would say that he didn’t like the pastor of the church and he wanted to find a new church. Despite this, Suzie apparently kept attending services at Solid Rock without Chris.

Following Chris’s death, which was ruled an accidental drowning, and Mica’s death later, Suzie would become JP’s third wife on June 1, 2025.

Suzie Remains Married to JP and Stays Out of the Public Light

Suzie kept a low profile online before the documentary was released, and that hasn’t changed after its release. She hasn’t been charged with any involvement in Mica’s case, while JP is facing federal charges of making false statements to federal investigators and cyberstalking, which is similar to this Virginia woman’s case. Suzie hasn’t made any comments regarding Mica’s death, but church-goers claim that she continues to lead worship at Solid Rock Church alongside JP.
