Scientology leader disappears after being named in child trafficking lawsuit
Biz Pac Review ^ | 12/30/22 | Kate Anderson

Florida prosecutors are trying to find a missing Scientology leader who is listed as a defendant in a federal lawsuit concerning child trafficking.

David Miscavige, chairman of the board of the Religious Technology Center, is the leader of the controversial Church of Scientology and the sect’s company Sea Org, according to the Tampa Bay Times. Process servers visited 10 Church of Scientology properties and have made 27 attempts to serve Miscavige, but the church leader has been missing for months, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

Plaintiffs Gawain and Laura Baxter and Valeska Paris, former Scientologists, claim in the lawsuit that they were forced to sign a billion-year contract with the church, according to the Times. Paris also states that she was also sexually assaulted multiple times during her time with the sect and that when her mother deserted the church she was locked in a room for 48 hours.

No, he is in ads on LA TV stations, standing in their headquarters.

Yesterday, even.

I believe Miscavige’s wife also vanished a while ago.

David Miscarriage is likely hiding out on the Scientology cruise ship Fairwinds. It’s usually docked in Aruba where I saw it back in 2008.

The 2009 book “Blown for Good: Behind the Iron Curtain of Scientology” is great. Thankfully, the Ten Commandments apply to scientolo freaks.

It’s amazing what the FBI and DOJ can let slip through their fingers when they put their minds to it. :shrug:

Yes, the missus has not been seen since 2007. Probably murdered and the remains safely disposed of. Coincidentally her mother, a devout Scientologist who left the cult and took copies of their wacky top-level texts with her, was found dead with one shot to the head and three to the chest. The death was ruled a suicide.

Wow!
I always wanted a $57,000 luxury Swiss watch!
I'll have to drop by one of those stores next time I'm in Aruba!

“I believe Miscavige’s wife also vanished a while ago.”

I think David hopped a ride on the Mothership, so no way to bring him to trial, on this planet, at least.

As for his wife, she was causing him trouble, so he may just have had her killed, dismembered, and buried.

I’m looking around on Google, and I can only find one.
Maybe I was drunk and just went in a circle...
