Less than three years before Mica Francis’ body was found in a North Carolina swamp after her alleged suicide, there was another strange death near Solid Rock at Market Common, the Myrtle Beach church that belonged to Mica’s husband Pastor JP Miller. That’s the death of Chris Skinner, the 41-year-old quadriplegic man who was married to the woman JP was allegedly having an affair with at the time — the same woman JP has routinely been photographed with since Mica’s death in April.

Chris was found in his wheelchair at the bottom of his neighborhood pool. Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell take a look at Chris’ inspiring story of determination and hope — at who he was BEFORE he entered into JP’s ecosystem in 2018. They also take a deeper look into his death, the ensuing investigation and the strange coincidences and inconsistencies that exist between his and Mica’s cases.

Was Chris at the pool this morning because he was meeting someone to play chess? Or did he go there because he had lost hope? Chris’ wife Suzie told police that he wasn’t suicidal and she later referred to his death as having been a result of getting too close to the edge of the pool. But that’s not what surveillance footage shows. And what role did JP’s alleged relationship with Suzie play in Chris’ death and Mica’s desire to divorce JP?

JP and Suzie have reportedly denied having an affair. And JP has denied any and all allegations related to Mica’s death and her allegations of coercive control abuse during their marriage.

Also on the show, alleged Alex Murdaugh co-conspirator Russell Laffitte is out of prison and home for the holidays and what will it take for courts to take women seriously when they ask for restraining orders against the men they fear?
