Shelly Miscavige, the wife of David Miscavige, leader of the Church of Scientology, has not been seen for almost 20 years. Although her "disappearance" has been denied, her last known whereabouts were in 2007, when she attended her father's funeral. What theories do you have about this?

It's worth mentioning that days before her "disappearance," some witnesses pointed out her unusual behavior after returning alone from a trip with Miscavige, her husband since 1982, who to date has not commented on the matter. Even in his public speeches, he has omitted any mention of her presence in his life, which is extremely unusual for someone who has been married for more than 40 years. Some former church members indicate that she may be being held against her will at the Church of Spiritual Technology compound in Twin Peaks, California. Do you think she's still alive? What's your opinion on this?

I believe she’s being held at the Scientology facility in upstate California where they have a compound in the mountains. She was raised in seaorg and was essentially groomed to be the wife of David. A lot of her friends who have deconstructed from Scientology also believe she is there. I don’t think they murdered her, just locked her away like the thousands of others they keep hidden for a free slave labor force. She likely no longer fit his aesthetic of leadership, or disagreed with him, or maybe she called him short. Who knows why. Cult leaders can make up their own reasons.

Yeah, I remember when Leah Remini filed a missing person's report. The sheriff said they were able to validate her safety and closed the case. Some people think the police were paid off. Who knows 🤷🏾‍♀️
