Reading more, I see Sara Northrup stole Jack Parson from her sister when (sister) Helen was out of town - which was ok with Alister Crowley's "Ordo Templi Orientis" that they were all part of. Her sister Helen then hooked up with Parson's mentor Wilfred Smith and had a baby with him.

When Hubbard and Sara Northrup took off with the money and bought a boat, they got married illegally while L Ron was still married to his first wife. He romanced her by giving her a stolen valor story of wartime heroics but then had to threaten to kill himself to get her to marry him later.

Yeah, they basically had a nasty little Satanist commune.

Both Parsons and Hubbard had some kind of charisma that worked well on a certain kind of woman. Parsons was very handsome; Hubbard wasn’t as good-looking, but his skill as a liar would have put Bill Clinton to shame.

The nastiness of Hubbard has persisted long after his death.
