Shelly Miscavige, the wife Scientology’s leader wants us to forget « The Underground Bunker It was late summer 2. That much our sources agree on. It might have been late August, or it might have been early September. But it was a full ten years ago, say our eyewitness sources, that Shelly Miscavige vanished. When we started writing about Shelly and her strange situation, back in 2. But since then we developed new sources who were at Int Base and personally saw the events leading up to Shelly’s sudden departure. And those sources are sure of one thing: It was ten years ago, they tell us.

Ten years ago. We’ve told Shelly’s story numerous times, and it also got a lengthy treatment in Vanity Fair. Leah Remini caused a stir in 2. Los Angeles Police Department to look into Shelly’s whereabouts. It’s really not a secret, and we continue to get more evidence that confirms her location. But the astounding thing about Shelly is not that she’s “missing,” because she isn’t. The remarkable thing is that Scientology leader David Miscavige has gotten away with banishing his wife, who once helped to run Scientology with him, to a small compound in the mountains above Los Angeles.

Shelly Miscavige is not missing. David Miscavige has known exactly where she’s been for the last ten years, because he put her there. And Shelly’s story is not a simple one. We asked numerous people for their memories of Shelly this week, and they weren’t all positive.

Shelly was, along with her husband, a tough- as- nails Sea Org executive who wasn’t shy about berating people to get things done. But, as we explained in the 2. Love in the time of Miscavige,” there were signs, in 2. We’re going to quote a key section from that story for our readers who may not be up on the Shelly Miscavige story. At the beginning of 2. Miscavige had ordered dozens of top executives into a locked room, calling them “SPs.” (A “suppressive person” is someone with evil intention to Scientology — being declared an SP is the church’s form of excommunication.)Over time, that office- prison became known as “The Hole” as up to 1. Miscavige was becoming less and less predictable.

Every Sea Org official walked on eggshells around him, and were hypersensitive to any of his rants, looking for ways to stay in his good graces. And then, in 2. 00. Miscavige announced that he was going to Los Angeles to work on a new set of re- edited L. Ron Hubbard books he wanted published. And she asked the young woman .

She filled the org chart with names, and then informed those employees that they had new jobs. She had COB’s things crated up and moved out of the Villas to a drab set of quarters known as the “G’s.” At about this time, Scientology spokesman Mike Rinder arrived at Int Base after visiting Miscavige in Los Angeles. He was immediately cornered by Shelly as soon as he arrived.“She took me to the back patio of the RTC building, which is really isolated.

There was no one around,” Rinder tells us. Rinder had no idea if Miscavige actually had more than one version of his wedding ring.“Oh, you know, I didn’t notice,” he told her.“The question was so out of the blue, and so bizarre,” he tells us. She was worried that he was going to abandon her.”Rinder wonders if, knowing that she was on thin ice, she was suddenly taking on the things Miscavige always complained needed to be done — the org chart and the renovation of the Villas — as a way of getting into his good graces. Shelly was trying to make things go right for COB.“That was the last conversation I had with Shelly,” Rinder says.

He was later put into The Hole as a prisoner for more than a year, and then defected from Scientology while he was in London in 2. By the time Miscavige did return to the base, a couple of months after he’d gone to LA, the org chart had been filled and the Villas were gutted. He was not pleased.“He had a total psychotic fit,” one eyewitness tells us. Over the course of that week between Miscavige’s meltdown and Shelly’s disappearance, something telling happened. Our new sources tell us that Miscavige went back to Los Angeles, and then Shelly, apparently knowing she was facing oblivion, took the unusual step of driving from the base to LA to see if she could patch things up with her husband. Apparently, that mission didn’t succeed. And someday, we’d love to know how that scene unfolded.

Shelly soon returned to the base, and then she vanished. We know now, from multiple lines of evidence, that she was transferred from the International Base near Hemet to a super- secret compound near Lake Arrowhead in the mountains above Los Angeles. The compound is the headquarters for Scientology’s most secretive entity, the Church of Spiritual Technology. We’ve written extensively about CST and its underground vaults, where L. Ron Hubbard’s works are stored so they can survive a nuclear holocaust.

For the past ten years — except for a couple of days in the summer of 2. Barney Barnett — Shelly has been living and working at CST’s headquarters compound, which Scientologists call by numerous different names, depending on whom you ask: Twin Peaks, Rimforest, Rim of the World, or Crestline. Whatever you call it, it’s a small complex that houses maybe a dozen people who work on the project to archive Hubbard’s works.

Since she was transferred there, Shelly, who once was a major figure in the church and even helped select girlfriends for Tom Cruise, has attended no public church events and has not even been allowed to see her own family. Is Shelly happy working there? Is she being held against her will? Would she take the opportunity to escape if she could? We reported in 2.

Shelly does have some limited communication with the outside world, and was asked by a family member how she might be able to leave the base. By Thursday afternoon, August 8, police told a reporter that they had checked on Shelly and considered Leah’s report “unfounded.” What happened? Well, LAPD Lt. Andre Dawson sent two of his detectives to meet Shelly. A missing- person report has a very narrow goal — to find out if a person is, well, missing. When Dawson’s detectives found that Shelly was fine and that she didn’t want to make a public statement, the case was over. But we asked Dawson — had his detectives questioned Shelly in the presence of other church executives?“That’s classified,” Dawson said to us. Dawson has been a participant in numerous Church of Scientology activities.)And that brings us up to date on the disappearance of Shelly Miscavige. Maps To The Stars (2015) Streaming.

We believe that she’s still at the CST headquarters, and she may or may not be resigned to her fate. We’ve been assured by former Scientology executives that David Miscavige put her there after making her a non- person, and that he will never let her leave. So, ten years after she vanished, we asked some of the people who knew her to send us some of their memories of her. CLAIRE HEADLEY: It’s hard to imagine the Sea Org without Shelly Miscavige. Some people hated her. And I certainly saw just cause for that at times.

Personally, I thought Shelly was quite simply in an impossible situation, as so many of us were at the Int Base. It was a twilight zone, a horrifying dog- eat- dog world where one did as one was told or faced impossible and life- destroying consequences.

In the end I have Shelly to thank, in some ways, for helping me wake up. You see, Shelly explained to me on multiple occasions that when you became a member of RTC (the Religious Technology Center, run by Miscavige himself) one has then foregone the right to leave — you’d be hunted to the ends of the earth if you tried to escape. I thoroughly believed her. After all, I’d heard of Sue Gentry being brought back when she blew to Africa!

Marty Rathbun blew twice and was brought back both times. No one was capable of escaping RTC’s reach, it seemed to me at the time.

So when I was booted out of RTC for refusing to divorce Marc, and Marc then blew just a few months later, Shelly’s words came back to me in my final analysis.
