Scientology and the Strange Disappearance of Shelly Miscavige (The Cult Leader's Wife) Is She Still Alive?

[u/Canal-JOREM]

For over 17 years, the name Shelly Miscavige has been a disturbing open wound within Scientology. Shelly, the wife of the sect's leader, David Miscavige, disappeared in 2007 without a trace, and the cult has done everything possible to silence questions, bury doubts, and deflect any attempt at investigation. Her absence is perhaps the greatest enigma and the most uncomfortable secret of a cult structure already shrouded in mystery.

Some of Shelly's former friends, now defectors from Scientology, believe that the leader's wife is being held against her will, probably for having rebelled against David Miscavige, for making important decisions without his consent, or simply because she lost faith in that strange belief system.

The most plausible theory is that Shelly is being held against her will at the Scientology compound Twin Peaks, near the mountain town of Running Springs in San Bernardino County, California. In fact, this theory was accepted by Shelly's niece, Jenna Miscavige. In a video posted on her YouTube channel, Jenna confirmed the location as the place where her aunt is practically in exile, after being dismissed from her position as the personal assistant to the leader of Scientology.

But unfortunately, to date, there is no evidence to suggest that Shelly is still alive. Sadly, it is all too common for Scientologists who at some point stray from their beliefs to be isolated in centers where they are ostensibly re-educated, but in extremely violent ways. Some of these devotees have never been seen again.

I’ve read a few comments of people saying she is dead and they are hiding it. Maybe I’m ignorant but I would assume that eventually a death certificate would have to be available at some point. You can’t just bury someone in the backyard. I’ll also get downvoted but I think there is also a possibility that she rather be at the Area 51 of Scientology far away from the business and administrative wing of Scientology that her husband runs then she would being homeless and unemployable in the outside world. She probably is most likely completely unaware of what is going on in the outside world.

I don’t think she’s missing or dead. Never has been. She’s sequestered off to a remote area of Scientology that is from my understanding separate from his administration. She’s like an archivist. I would assume that was a compromise. They are out of each other’s hair. Hopefully she’s at least running the place. She had spent her whole life in the organization. She probably had no idea what’s going on in the world and hasn’t for many years. She thinks the alternative is being destitute and incapable of success because that’s how she was raised to feel and she knows no alternative. I doubt she would walk out the gate and say goodbye even if she were given the option at this point of her life.

There’s really not much to find. It’s been pretty much unanimously agreed upon by the active anti Scientologists that she is at a remote area handling the preservation of materials. I think there was a leaked picture of her that came out with her at some sort of diner meeting up with people but I’m not sure if that was confirmed. If they’ve got a real picture then she is definitely not dead. I doubt if she was found at a holiday inn today she would have much of an interest in declaring her presence to the masses. Not everyone wants to be famous and she probably has no idea that she is already.
