Shelly Miscavige, wife of Scientology leader, reported missing by actress Leah Remini

    Edit: This post has been up about 20 minutes and the word is already that the LAPD have closed the Missing Person's case. Awkward. What's the betting that despite her being alive and well, there will be no evidence of this outside of Scientology members swearing they've seen her?

    "King of Queens" actress, Leah Remini, very publicly left the Church of Scientology a few weeks ago. She was raised in the church from childhood but made the decision to leave after becoming concerned about member Shelly Miscavige, who hasn't been seen publicly since 2007.
    In the past, Remini was allegedly derided by Tommy Davis, the former head of the Scientology Celebrity Centre, for asking about Shelly Miscavige's whereabouts at Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' wedding in 2006. The incident was among the alleged reasons that Remini broke ties with the church. Davis reportedly scolded her and told her she didn't have the "rank" to ask about Shelly.(LA Times)

    On Wednesday, she filed a Missing Person's report with the LAPD regarding Shelly Miscavige, wife of the current leader of Scientology, David Miscavige.

    Shelly's disappearance has provided much fodder for those who dislike the church over the years but her husband insists she is alive, that she is at a Scientology facility by choice and that she is simply too busy to appear in public.
    Shelly Miscavige's attorney has said that she is "not missing."
    "Any reports that she is missing are false," the attorney told Us Weekly. "Mrs. Miscavige has been working non-stop in the Church, as she always has."
    (LA Times)

    It's unclear how much the police can do as there are jurisdictional issues and the church has a formidable legal team but this does, at least, bring this to the public's attention.

    I have to give Remini a lot of credit for doing this.

    "Dammit, they're asking questions. We better publicly roll her out to save face...."

    So, hang on.

    She's not missing she's just far too busy for anyone outside of a Scientology centre to see her....for years?

    wow, just wow. The LAPD and news agency believe this nonsense without actual proof?

    Or, y'know, corruption.


    Fair play to Leah Remini for making people aware of this.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Yeah, you'd think they'd at least ask to meet with her themselves.

    I hope they wouldn't close the case without seeing her with their own eyes but I guess even if they did, how do they know she's not being held at that compound against her will? She's probably very well-trained in a script.

    The whole thing just gives me the creeps. When you add in the ridiculous way Shelly's mother died (shot three times in the chest and once in the head with a rifle, yet a "suicide") it becomes incredible.
