Cinema VinesNetflix’s true‑crime docuseries Death of the Pastor’s Wife, which premiered on August 26, has once again thrust John Paul Miller into the spotlight, this time focusing on his new marriage to Suzie Skinner. The series, which chronicles the death of Miller’s second wife Mica Miller, also reveals that the former pastor wed Skinner on June 1, 2025, in a private beach ceremony in Myrtle Beach, a little over a year after Mica’s disappearance.
Miller’s personal life has been a rollercoaster of relationships. He was originally a pastor at Solid Rock Church in Myrtle Beach and was first married to Alison Williams, with whom he had four children. Their marriage ended in divorce in 2016 after Miller’s affair with Mica Miller was exposed. Mica, who had married Jeremy Deas at 18, met Miller at Solid Rock and later divorced Deas. The two began an affair three years into her marriage, and after both parties divorced, Miller and Mica married on November 17, 2017, when he was 38 and she was 23.
During the time he was married to Mica, Miller met Suzie Skinner, who was then married to Chris Skinner. Suzie worked as Chris’s physical therapist after he was left paralyzed from the neck down in a car accident at age 20. Chris died in September 2021, reportedly asphyxiated by drowning in a community pool, according to the chief deputy coroner. Suzie and Miller’s relationship began while she was still married, and the docuseries notes that Mica’s friend Charlotte Korn alleged the couple had an affair before Mica’s death.
Following Mica’s death on April 27, 2024, in Lumber River State Park, Miller was released on a $100,000 bond and ordered to surrender his passport and wear an ankle monitor. Despite the legal turmoil, Miller and Skinner continue to lead a small congregation at former Solid Rock Church locations, with Miller acting as pastor and Skinner leading worship. Korn reported that roughly 15 to 20 people still attend these gatherings.
As the Netflix series re‑examines Mica Miller’s death and the surrounding circumstances, it also highlights the new chapter in Miller’s life with Skinner, illustrating how his personal and legal challenges continue to intersect with his role in the community.
