When a young woman is found dead at Lumber River State Park in April 2024, investigators discover a haunting warning she left behind: 'If I end up with a bullet in my head, it was not me, it was JP.'
'The Signature' investigates how a charismatic youth pastor groomed a teenage girl, married her a decade later, and built a multi-million dollar ministry while hiding dark secrets. Through exclusive interviews, court documents, and never-before-heard recordings, host Jonny Llama unravels a web of psychological manipulation, financial fraud, and alleged abuse that ended in tragedy.
On September 6th, 2021, security cameras captured Christopher Skinner - paralyzed veteran, father of twins, chess enthusiast - wheeling toward the Yorkshire Parkway community pool. He was there to meet someone for his regular Monday morning chess game. That person never appeared on camera.
Two weeks earlier, Christopher had confronted his pastor at Solid Rock Ministries about staying away from his wife and children. Now, his wheelchair lay at the bottom of a pool, and a three-paragraph police report would close the case in just two days.
Through police reports, dispatch logs, and newly obtained 911 calls, Episode 3 of "The Signature" examines the morning Christopher Skinner died, the investigation that followed, and the disturbing pattern at Solid Rock Ministries that would only emerge three years later, after another death shocked the congregation.
From Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, this is "The Signature."
