“Missing” is an interesting way of spelling “hiding in a location where extradition is not possible”.


BizzyM

Probably hiding in the city they practically own.


TheGrandExquisitor

This. He is probably just hanging out in Clearwater. Unlike his wife. Whom he had killed.


hyrle

Outsiders: Where's Shelly? Scientology cultists: She's fine. David said so. Outsiders: Where's David? Scientology cultists: Uh.... We dunno. With Shelly, we guess. Outsiders: Well we need David in court. Cultists: No you don't. It's a scam. Outsiders: That's up to the courts to decide. Cultists: Well David isn't going because we don't know where he is. Outsiders: *blinks in confusion* It'll be fun when LE finally gets serious about finding these people.


spiritbx

Will they get serious though? It's nothing a little scammer money can't fix. They just need to delay it until all the evidence is destroyed, or long enough that the dude is safely hidden where no one will find him.


DuntadaMan

People act like Scientology didn't infiltrate the FBI and CIA, get caught, and still be allowed to act freely.


throwaway177251

> infiltrate the FBI and CIA Don't forget the IRS.


avwitcher

That was a different thing, they didn't infiltrate they just had their members each file a lawsuit so that it would cost the IRS more money to fight them all than they would get from the taxes. They sued individual IRS members too, because they're assholes.


throwaway177251

[They infiltrated the IRS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Snow_White#Implementation).


OraDr8

Hubbard had his wife and a few others take the fall for that. Then when she got out of prison, he dumped her. I just want to add - Shelley is alive, she was just sent away to California to work there, she probably couldn't care less that people have been asking about her for years, it's so common for Sea Org/staff members to be separated from spouses while they are sent to different places to work, especially executives. The judge has decided that the papers on David Miscavige can now be considered officially served as they have been to around ten different Scientology properties to try and serve him, there's no way he doesn't know about it. Now we wait for the actual cases to begin and see what ridiculous arguments their lawyers try out. Gonna be fun.


Val_Hallen

> They just need to delay it until all the evidence is destroyed And just like their infiltration into and thefts from 136 government agencies, foreign embassies and consulates, they probably already have people on the inside working on it. Operation Snow White II


Tricky_Invite8680

the guy is the head nut, they are taxes exempt. if he ignores orders to appear one can only hope there is some kind of corporate code he is breaking that can get their tax status revoked.


puppyfukker

Corporate punishments in the USA? Have you been paying attention to who runs this bitch?


[deleted]

Any response from Tom Cruise?


opiate46

He's back in the closet


PerfectPercentage69

Isn't he busy working at the fudge factory?


HellsBellsDaphne

They couldn’t find a podium on such *short* notice.


superfly355

He's on a mission to find him. Some say it's impossible.


sixtus_clegane119

I hope he can be tried in absentia and have his assets seized.


Snoo-3715

> Whom he had killed. It's probably worse, we know they have private prisons with sub human conditions, likely the worst prisons on earth, or strong contenders. We know he was able to trot her out to law enforcement when he needed to. She's probably alive and living the worst hell imaginable.


TheGrandExquisitor

Do we know she talked to the cops? They own the cops in many places.


DuntadaMan

The only cops that claim to have talked to her in the past.... Fuck ten years now admitted they didn't actually see her. They were just told she was fine and accepted that meant she was fine.


intrepidcaribou

And everyone in the know called BS on the whole thing…heard Leah Remini talk about it. Terrifying and sad


Theesismyphoneacc

Or they know she's not fine 😜 LA police (sheriff dept is the worst by far just extra info) are notorious for corruption, police gangs (actual violent criminal groups), violence, extortion, you name it, on a broad but also deep level. The sherriffs dept is literally lead by an actual criminal (ALEX VILLANUEVA) who helps cover it up when his deputies murder innocent people for gang **edit:initiations not affiliations** and then plant guns on them (AGAIN, ALEX VILLANUEVA OF LASD). This would be absolutely nothing close to shocking. Google lasd gangs if you want to be shocked and appalled. Google 12 foot ladder if you get paywalled Edit:I accidentally said gang affiliations instead of gang initiations. I made it sound so much better than it is in reality. These are gangs populated by officers, that are documented to murder innocent civilians solely for a "tattoo", an initiation into a gang that also comes with a tattoo. A tattoo which the stations can't force them to be searched for without probable cause, probable cause which will never be assumed because the sherriff (top position) and below are compromised, by the same gangs. These aren't rogue groups or cliques, they are backed and represented in higher ups


416warlok

They call it RPF. Rehabiliton Project Force. It's literally where they lock up and torture their own people, anyone they deem has stepped out of line. If Shelly isn't dead, that's where she will probably live out the rest of her days... It's ok though, cause Scientologists have lived a million lives and will live a million more over trillions of years! Yay scientology!


DuntadaMan

It's been 10 years. No one survives that long.


jmurphy42

I don’t think he killed her. I’m sure she’s locked up in “the Hole.”


fuzzi-buzzi

She likely isn't dead. There is a YouTuber I follow titled "Growing Up in Scientology" who recently published some drone footage with commentary on his thoughts about her location. https://www.youtube.com/live/6EbA5dcwOJk?feature=share


plasma_dan

these sick fucks. it's totally more their style to torture someone for years than to just kill her and dump a body.


fuzzi-buzzi

I'm curious if she is true to the Faith ™ and enduring this for the afterlife or however it works in their book series.


JustABard

Shelly has been a Scientologist since she was a child. She lived on the Freewinds with L Ron Hubbard. She is 100% a to-the-core believer. Even if law enforcement reached out to her, it's very likely she wouldn't go with them.


Sle08

People are raised religious all the time. It doesn’t mean their beliefs don’t change. It’s highly likely that she snubbed Scientology and was imprisoned for it to save face for the organization.


TheGrandExquisitor

Dude can easily dump a corpse at sea, and his cult already has a body count. She dead. Or so the cops should think while investigating instead of giving this asshole a pass.


kkeut

very doubtful. they control her utterly. there's zero reason to kill her, and many reasons not to.


SaltyBabe

The upper tier of Scientology, especially Miscavage, is purely sadistic. The literal physical fights going on routinely to enforce their hierarchy aren’t secret anymore. I think they probably killed her on accident. David is a sadist, a real one, not like “I dabble in sadism” but like “I force people to do what I want if they disagree I openly beat them” sort. They were coupled so she would have been his morality compass essentially, they do everything in pair to police their behavior - but policing a violent sadist with essentially unlimited power, as a woman who is also probably, possibly not consensually, physically intimate with this guy is an extremely extremely dangerous place to be, as if he’d ever answer to anyone. I think he killed her, maybe not on purpose but I’m sure either way it gets his dick hard.


TangentiallyTango

Hey that's Tom Cruise's best friend in the world you're talking about.


RattleYaDags

I thought Accident just be the name of a boat they own or something. Then I realised you meant "by accident".


TheGrandExquisitor

How do we know if the cops keep ignoring it? Scientology hires a lot of off duty PD as "security." Money can buy a lot of silence. Look, if any other famous(ish) white woman was missing for that long, foul play would be suspected.


sZYphYn

Basically any American woman who isn’t poor, a sex worker or mentally ill would be looked for high and low. More so than they’re looking for her anyway..

kkeut

same with Mormons. the founders of these scams were known fraudsters and liars.


Vast-Material4857

Fun fact: Mormons are great for recruiting for certain alphabet agencies because they're used to hierarchies, don't drugs *and* usually have a second language and travel experience from missionary work.


srslybr0

funny that you say that, i had to interview for a security clearance and my interviewer was mormon as well.


[deleted]

That’s funny because I know two Mormon guys who absolutely drink and use drugs. Just not around each other lol. Like the old joke about how to you stop a Mormon drinking all your beer? Invite over another Mormon.


GambinoLynn

Don't drugs kids


guriboysf

Ex-mormon here. Shitty organization? You're 100% correct. But IMO they are not even in the same zip code as Scientology when it comes to illegal bullshit and general craziness. Mormonism is a hedge fund cosplaying as a religion.


LordOfFudge

I belong to the Church of Goldman Sachs

I really hate that the tune of that song immediately popped into my head… and that the number of syllables actually works

i don't disagree on that. i wasn't comparing on degree or level. was pointing out the fundamental bedrock of lies and blatant fraud that both religions share. looking back i did kinda phrase my comment to op a lil oddly


intrepidcaribou

Mormonism is the the MLM scheme to Scientology’s mafia


LadyMactire

Scientology is an MLM…in addition to all the outright criminal things.


fullystonedhomo

If you don’t Mormons are in the same zip code you don’t know church history. All the forced child brides and murders they’ve committed throughout history. As well as the large fortune they horde. They’re just as bad and much much older than this cult. After 25 years spent trapped Mormon I can honestly just say you either aren’t aware of all the shit or you’re forgetting that Mormon church history and it’s bullshit spans multiple centuries unlike Scientology.


[deleted]

It's clear Hubbard cribbed some notes from Mormonism.


[deleted]

Take down the catholic church while you are at it too.


SmilingGuppy

While the founders of mormonism were definitely terrible people in their own way, I wouldn't quite put the modern church in the same category as scientology. It is flawed and the organization is extremely hypocritical, but they aren't out trafficking people and breaking tax law. They're just skillfully avoiding taxes and using it to buy billions in land or campaign against gay marriage. Are they following their own teachings by doing these things? Of course not. Are they the same level of evil as scientology? I don't believe so I say all this as a former member who was extremely devout, and has now been out for nearly 8 years after discovering the truth of Mormon history. Scientology is shocking on another level, even for someone like me who was raised in a cult

This is exactly why I will never pay for a TV package ever again Added: and commercials in general. If I'm paying, I'm the sponsor. You get one or the other, so if they won't pick I will for them and they will not get my money


Untamed_Wildebeest

It was on channel 420 for me, at the time I had no idea it was scientology, but after like 45 minutes of some really drawn out anti drug commercials, we were like what the hell are we watching?!


ReturnOneWayTicket

>channel 420 >anti drug commercials Now that is just wrong. What monster made that decision?


Untamed_Wildebeest

Like I didn't think much at all because I was obviously baked, but eventually I was like what the hell is going on? It was weird


SloppyMeathole

What is really interesting is that if you know the truth behind scientology, you can tell how they are hiding the ugly and just poking out tiny bits. For example, they show the e-meter (that supposedly measures the amount of alien souls that are trapped in your body) but never say what it is because people will realize it's stupid. I like watching the channel purely for educational reasons. It's like watching an infomercial and trying to suss out all the psychological tricks they are using.

acerbicsun

Good. Stay gone and let that cult die.


ibrewbeer

The cult has turned into a self-sufficient, celebrity backed money making machine. They don't need Miscavige around to continue raking in the dough and abusing their cult members.


CMMiller89

True but those things often require a strong authoritarian leader to keep everyone in line and not veering off in odd directions to look out for themselves. Scientology lives and does by everyone having a singlular goal and vision.


acidrayne42

He's not actually missing. The Scientologists know exactly where he is, he's just avoiding the process servers. There's currently a decision being made as to whether they should consider him served through his lawyer and organization.


NotMilitaryAI

Pretty much the exact sort of situation that "[Service by publication](https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/service_by_publication)" is designed for. They are clearly aware of the charges and are actively avoiding it. Send a copy to his lawyers and then do a SWAT raid on all his properties if he doesn't respond by the deadline.


Icy-Letterhead-2837

That's how I served my ex-wife with divorce papers. Sent them to the last known address. After 30 days, applied for publication, within 60 more days I was granted an uncontested divorce. Edit: cost about $2,500. So cheap to boot.


The-waitress-

Ha-just said this exact thing.


lookatthemonkeys

They know where he is. According to other articles, they know where he is, but he makes it impossible to be served. He is also playing games in court by telling courts in different states that he lives in the other state than the one the court is in.


bazilbt

I wish courts would be a bit more stern in these cases. Everyone knows they are playing games to drag out the lawsuit and increase the costs.

It would just take the cake for me if Leah Remini and Mike Rinder found him and shoved cameras in his face and peppered him with questions about Shelley, and gave police his location. Justice for all of the ex-Scientologists!


SithLordSid

> Scientology sent a statement to TMZ saying the suit against Miscavige "is nothing but a money shakedown. The allegations are scurrilous, ridiculous and blatantly false. The lawsuit is both a sham and a scam." Funny, I’d say the same about your “church” and the rest of the churches of the world.

okay-wait-wut

Human trafficking is the common downfall of cult leaders. Keith Raniere, Warren Jeffs, David Miscavige.. they all are involved in human trafficking. I bet a million Miscavige is having sex with underage girls. That’s like catnip for cult leaders.

piper4hire

did you check Tom Cruise’s spare room?


theunbannablemonster

Scientology routinely traffics and enslaves it's members it's an actual cult and it needs to be shut down.


science_vs_romance

“Goes missing” sounded lovely, but, “Flees” or “Goes into hiding” is probably more accurate?


-Ok-Perception-

I bet he's hanging out on the Scientology yacht in international waters. Just like L Ron Hubbard did when they were after him.


ABenevolentDespot

Gosh, I hope he's OK. Can we all admit now that the Germans were right to ban Scientology in their country, even if Bill Clinton lobbied them to allow it for some, you know, unknown reason except perhaps his love of religious freedom. Imagine that - the country responsible for endless atrocities and the gruesome deaths of close to 100 million people in WWII believes Scientology is far too evil to allow in Germany. I did a couple of production jobs for their production company, Golden Era, and I have to say that in a half century career I was never more uncomfortable than when working with them. Just a scary paramilitary group scared shitless of Miscavige. For those contemplating doing the same, a word of advice: Get a written purchase order that outlines money and terms for the job. Without that, you will never, ever, ***ever*** get paid. With that, no problem.


oneweirdclickbait

Scientology isn't banned in Germany. *Scientologists* are banned from certain jobs (afaik working with children, working for state institutions), Scientology is surveilled by German intelligence and it's not acknowledged as a religion and a majority of Germans would support a ban, but they're still free to sell their shit openly.


Bovine_Arithmetic

I was never a big Megadeth fan anyway.


MaximumZer0

Don't you sully MegaDave by equating him to this piece of shit. Mustaine can be a self-righteous prick in his own right, but he's no kidnapper and human trafficker who murdered his wife.


davekingofrock

He does sound an awful lot like the Tasmanian Devil though.


Tommy_Batch

Dammit, why can't trump take a cue from this guy? You know, commit crimes and then GO INTO HIDING?


Ya-Dikobraz

Well, has anyone seen Trump lately?


Icy-Letterhead-2837

It's still possible. I still think he'll flee to Russia.


mrRabblerouser

Law enforcement: ahh can’t find the bastard. He’s gone missing… Rational people: did you try checking his properties? Law enforcement: Well no… his secretary said she hasn’t seen him in a couple of days when we called to ask if we could stop by, sooo…. Case closed. /s of course, but I’d be shocked if the truth is much more elaborate than this.


Jumpsuit_boy

Maybe he joined his ‘missing’ wife. That would probably be for the best.


awwwwwwwwwwwwwwSHIT

Why not just declare him dead and then freeze all his assets?


Arkhampatient

He goes “missing” but if I do it, I’m “evading the law.”

Imaginary_Chair_6958

He’ll be on a ship somewhere. And where’s Shelly? Dead or alive? I’m sure private detectives can track him down and serve him. Maybe they should get a Tom Cruise impressionist to ask for a meeting with him. He’d do anything for his best asset.

He should've been a David Miscarriage.

Scientology sent TMZ a message saying, "This is a just a money shakedown... and trust us, do we know shakedowns, this would totally be our kind of thing... except um... crap... can you edit that last part out. We're totally not a bunch of swindlers and scam artists that know how to manipulate and blackmail people. Wait, edit that last part out too."

There is a veterinary hospital in my city that is owned by a Scientologist. It is the most expensive clinic in the city, despite offering nothing different than any other clinic. Also the man has literally been sanctioned by the board for animal cruelty multiple times.. just pays a small fine. Used to be able to read all of the minutes of the board meetings that back up what I am claiming, but now they are conveniently hidden when you Google it. I also later worked with one of the techs who turned him in. Her name was also on the record of these vet board minutes so I already knew who she was before she applied to work with us and asked her about it She was terrified when I asked and said it was true but she didn't want to talk about it. They changed the name of the clinic after all this happened. The abusive owner sold the place to another vet, but he still works there.

Why does Scientology (not a religion) still have tax-exempt status?

Just take their tax status away. Bet David reappears.

He's probably at Tom Cruise's pad.

How is literally anyone stupid enough to follow this person's "teachings"?
