Part One: LISTINGS IN DATE ORDER
1994 Gunnarson, Vicktor death Vicktor Gunnarson died somewhere between the 3 and 7 of January of 1994. Vicktor was the individual aquitted in the assassination in Sweden of Olay Palme, the high ranking Swedish politician. They are tracking Gunnarson's connection to Scientology. Detectives found a number of Scientology books at his place of residence. A reporter mentioned something about a $2 million offer to assassinate Palme being found or implicated or implied somewhere in his records.
1993 Argue, Michael psychosis In 1993, Michael Argue had two psychotic breaks. He became involved in Scientology in 1971. His first break was in the 1980s while doing OT levels at the LA Organization. He is living on Family Benefits (disability pension) for chronic depression. He is on Prozac for depression and valium and states that he looks forward to bodily death to escape his situation in life.
1992-3 Todd Hunter, Sue inducement to suicide Sue Todhunter was about 46. It happened around 1992-93. Her brother-in-law, George Ward is now out of Scientology and lives in LA. (suspected "end-of-cycle" auditing)
1992 Luell, Mickey negligence Mickey Luell, a Scientology course supervisor, died of a flu but was at the time involved in Scientology auditing and processes. FACT's source is suspicious that Scientology prevented or discouraged his getting proper medication.
1992, Oct. Baker, (first name unknown) suicide A person with the last name of Baker committed suicide somewhere in Europe.
1992 name unknown attempted suicide FACT's source described a young guy who tried to conunit suicide in early 1992 at the Gold Scientology Center. He was in his teens to early 20s. He was a jumor of a guy named Ulf who was a foreigner, maybe from Sweden. This guy was in the mixing group with the sound people. He had brown hair, puggy and boyish looking, obviously young. Something happened to cause him to attempt suicide at the Gold Center.
1991, May Simon, Karen suicide Karen Simon died by hanging herself in London England in May 1991, shortly after she refused to sign a Sea Organization contract. She was preparing a negative report on Scientology at the time of her death.
1990-2 name unknown death A young guy at the Gold Land base died while taking high doses of hydrogen peroxide as part of some brain research project. They had to get an ambulance out to the Scientology Gold Center to haul him away. There was quite a commotion to get his body out of there.
1990, Sept. names unknown suicide Reported by the October 21, 1991 "DER SPIEGEL" and reprinted in the Newkirk Herald Journal. The last two paragraphs report a drug therapist who knew of two addicts who committed suicide after leaving Narconon, where the purification rundown was done. They committed suicide just after they left the program.
1990, Sept. Keel, Pius suicide Reported in October 21, 1991 DER SPIEGEL Pius Keel, 22, Germany, threw himself under a tram after Scientology got all his money.

1990 (last name unknown), Bob suicide Bob was a real estate agent who lived around the Utica, Michigan area. He committed suicide in 1990 while receiving Scientology services.
1990 Mooney, Ed negligence Ed Mooney or Money, C 16 and OT8, died at age 37 of aneurysm about 3 weeks after completing OT8 at Flag m the fall of 1990. He was a very good FSM in LA. Scientology and family postulated he'd get better. He was in a hospital - but not a really good one. His wife, Patty Mooney, remarried about 6 months later in LA.
1989 Wakefield, Margery attempted suicide 9 April 1989, Margery had started in treatment with a counselor at Northside Center, and was being seen by Dr. Dagon for medication. However, her functioning on the unit continued to deteriorate to the point that her relationships with her peers disintegrated and at one point she became totally unable to work on the unit and left work early. On this occasion, she apparently made a suicide gesture and was subsequently hospitalized. Her suicide attempts are directly related to past Scientology auditing.
1989 or 90 name unknown coverup of death An older Sea Organization member died. FACT's source heard OSA agents talking about keeping it quiet. The death of this individual occured between November '89 and April '90.
1988-90 Kugler, Ryan attempted suicide Ryan Kugler is an adolescent (age 10) who tried to commit suicide at Delphi, Oregon by hanging himself. He had been kicked out of school but was admitted to LA Delphi about 1986 and Oregon Delphi about 1988-1990. He is still in Scientology now.
late 1980's. three names: Jane Winkler, Gene Trout, and David Sandieweis suicides? No locations reported.

1986-7 Filmsky, Betty cancer The first Solo NOTS completion (what Scientology calls honest) was Betty Filinsky. She was also highly trained. She died of lung cancer around 1986 or 7. She was the ex-wife of John Filinsky.
????? Filmsky, Betty cancer John Filinsky's first wife, Betty Filinsky, was first Solo NOTS completion and died of lung cancer, I think right after her "world tour" as the latest great success of NOTS auditing.
1986-8 Moro (Klinger), Cat psychosis Between 1986 and 88 Cat Moro (Klinger) became psychotic while on auditing and was taken to the home of wealthy Scientologist, Marshall Goldblatt, and kept there for months while she was psychotic. Her husband, Jim Moro, and she were both in the OSA/GO. Jim was in charge for tax task force which helped get them their IRS tax exemption.
Apparently, after 3 or 4 months at Goldblatt's Cat was transferred back to where she could be watched all the time and became a folder administrator at AOLA. These incidents all occurred between 1986 and 88. Maggie Butterworth is the person who supervised the situation with Cat Moro, the security risk who became psychotic.
1986 Rimando, Rodney CORRECTION suicide Rodney Rimondo jumped out a window at either the Celebrity Center or the LA Organization. Irene was the mother who allegedly got no settlement from Scientology. IN FACT'S JANUARY MAILING THIS NAME WAS INCORRECTLY SPELLED "RAMANDO."
1986 name unknown psychotic A young man m his 20's jumped from the Manor m Hollywood, though the report does not say that he died. He was a new recruit. There was a shore story alleging that he was a CIA operative sent to discredit Scientology by killing himself.
1985 Johnstone, Lee suicide Lee Johnstone was baby watched. He was a member of the Guardian's Office Staff m 1985 before he flipped out and committed suicide.
1984-? name unknown suicide Hawaiian mission holder was physically thrown out of his mission by three or four missionaires. Shortly thereafter he committed suicide.

1982-84 Lionini, Paolo cancer At Ben Kugler's Florida condo, Paolo Lionira -- a staff member at Delphi Oregon -- died while on lines at Flag. Poalo wrote the book called Lepsig Died. He died in Clearwater, FL between 1982- 84 at 100 Pierce St #602 or 603. He was getting auditing at Flag while he had cancer.
1983 Cloud, David Orin death David Orm Cloud died on June 5, 1983 in a car accident. He was in LA for auditing before he died. He thought he was going to die. FACT's source said his comments were, "He thought he was going to die, because he was just giving up." She doesn't know much more. He was thirty years old. He was involved with the Better Baby Institute. He was involved in Scientology for 8 or 9 years beginrang in 1977.
1983 McCann, Terry Purification Rundown - death Terry McCann had his retinas detach while on the purification rundown from all the sweat outs and whatever they were putting him through. He went blind from this. He went into a depression from this and died or committed suicide.
1983 xxxxx Purification Rundown - injury "I nearly died on the Purif at the Boston Organization. I didn't know it at the time. I had a heat stroke in the sauna, stopped perspiring, teeth started chattering, and things kept blacking-out on me, visually. I put on all of my winter clothes and went back into the sauna (I was by myself at this point, as there was only one other guy on the Purif with me, and our schedules weren't quite the same), and I still felt freezing cold. I climbed from the basement to the second floor (lots of stairs) where the D of P told me that "the way out is the way through," and that's what came back from the CS, too. If the Admin who was supposed to see that I got back into the sauna, hadn't violated orders and forcibly pushed me into a cool shower, I might well have died, "just following orders." I had another heat stroke, or at least heat exhaustion (I had different symptoms, and the diagnosis varied between the two), in 1990. My last doctor suspected that I have hypothalamus damage - which can be neither tested nor treated. He checked my electrolyte reports from the last heat stroke, and he said that they didn't seem in a low enough range to have caused the damage he suspects. I've been too embarrassed to tell my doctor about the Purif heat stroke - it may be where I started having these problems - but I can't do a whole lot about it anyway. When I had a heat stroke on the Purif, the D of P was Jeannie Scoglio, the C/S was either Ken Sermo or Rick Siegal (spelling?) at Boston Organization. The Admm who pushed me into the shower/saved my life was Rich Gerard. Otherwise, I'd have died all alone in that sauna in a lonely comer of the Boston Organization basement. I believe that all of these people are still in Scientology, and most are still at the Boston Organization, Day staff.
1982 Brewer, Ed negligence Ed Brewer was involved in a car accident. Several other Sea Organization or Scientology Staff members were in the car with him. They left him in the car to bleed to death while they went back to the Scientology organization to talk to the people in the intelligence division, because they didn't know what to do. They didn't want to create a public relations flap for Scientology. When they did this, they failed to call for medical help. Brewer literally bled to death pinned in this car.
1981-2 Spheeris, Jimmie death Jimmie Spheeris died in an auto accident on approximately July 4, 1981 or 82. At the time he was on the Philadelphia doctorate course and getting auditing. He was a homosexual and was being given a lot of stress about being a homosexual and being in Scientology courses.
This somehow may link into the homosexual pressures that Travolta has been put under involving Scientology. It may not. The implication from the contributor is somehow the stress and pressure that Shpeeris was put under was connected to Scientology and his death. His sister was director Penelope Shpeeris.
1981 name unknown uncertain Chuck Newton called himself "Detective Chaz Dee" when he'd go snooping. I remember him telling me about a guy who lived near Willows or maybe Marysville, and both he and his dad were OT's.
1981 Maxwell, Robert and ????? cancer Robert Maxwell. Robert & his dad were Flag public. Anyway, xxxxx said that Robert's father developed terminal (I think) cancer, but didn't have to quit auditing because he heard (at Flag? I think so) that you could cure cancer by drinking rocket fuel, and he did, and it cured the cancer, and he kept getting his auditing. I don't know what happened to Robert or his dad after this, which was around 1981, I think.
early 1980's (last name unknown), Hugh suicide A male named Hugh (last name unknown), who was an independent C\S at the advanced organization of Los Angeles (AO), committed suicide.
1980-1 Duchette, Gay suicide In 1980, I received a call from Gay Duchette. She had left the Riverside Scientology Mission. She related to me that she had given all she owned to Scientology. When her money was gone she was persuaded get a loan on her home to continue with Scientology. When she could not repay the loan she lost the house. Her father, who had given her the house or paid the down payment for it, was in a rage. She said several men had kept her in a room trying to make her sign over the house to Scientology. She had due cause for a suit aganst Scientology. It was in big trouble over loans in Riverside but she was not strong enough to stand up to the pressure of a suit. I gave her what support I could. I wanted to talk to her father but she was against it. I put her in touch with another former Scientologist. Gay was unmarried so Duchette is the family name. I think she had a brother named Jim. She came to a CFF meeting in Culver City and may have visited our house. I spoke with her by phone several times. When I called sometime after Sept 81 I was told she had taken her life. Riverside is a long way from Redondo Beach so I cannot research Riverside records for date of death. This is the best data I can provide from memory.
1981 name unknown suicide (Reported by the actual C/S of the person who committed suicide) A female doctor from Flint, Michigan committed suicide. FACT's source remembers the person having problems with her boyfriend. "This women is still involved in doing some auditing. I don't know if she is yet willing to admit the upsetting influence auditing can be and the coercive influence."
1981 Streim, Melvin psychosis I went to junior high and high school (Belmont, MA, Class of 1969) with Melvin Streim. He went to Harvard, and I went on to my life. I saw him again in early 1981 at the Boston Foundation Organization, where he was on staff, probably Estates. He was completely spaced and barely remembered me, though we'd shared years of classes ("accelerated" and AP) together, usually sitting just two seats away. He vaguely remembered the name of his best friend (they were best buddies for at least 6 years) when I mentioned it. His second job (moonlighting) was as a bag boy at the Star Market on the Cambridge/Watertown line. He was getting worse and worse in Scientology, forgetting to shave, dressing in dirty clothes, and generally out-of-touch with reality. They off-loaded him around 1983 or 4. I don't know what happened to him. I tried to find his family in Belmont, but they've either died or moved. I didn't work very hard on that, but I've felt badly about him. Mel was always a bit of a misfit in school but he wasn't nuts. When he was off- loaded, he was defimtely schizophrenic, and broke. How does a former Harvard student, end up as a bag boy? Tragic.
1980-82 Hubbard-Horwich, Diana psychosis In 1980-82 1 was corresponding with Diana Hubbard Horwich who was definitely close to the edge in late 1980 and early 1981. I wasn't in great shape, myself. We kept exchanging hopelessly inane letters about the weather. I don't have any positive proof, but we had an understanding, a certain undercurrent where we were both severely stressed. I'll bet you can find people with more definite info. I can just say, yes, absolutely, she was having a very difficult time back then.
1980-81 Newton, Chuck psychosis My ex-husband, Chuck Newton, went nuts on audited NOTs. He was not very stable to start with, and he kept "going PTS" by "having problems" at work, problems where he just couldn't stay faithful, etc. He was miserable, and his behavior was just out of control. One night, he beat a litter of newborn puppies to death with a shovel. He felt that his behavior was out of control. We moved, but it didn't seem to help. We sent him to Flag to "get handled." He reached a "flat point" on audited NOTs (meaning: he ran out of money) and he came home completely bizarre. He sat and watched Cable Network News almost 24 hours a day. [ don't know when he slept ....
1980-81 Karr, Dale psychosis The woman my ex-husband is living with is Marilyn Fox. Her last husband--I'm trying to remember his name--Dale Cart or Karr, I think. Anyway, he was an ethics officer at some mission around LA, and in the mid-1980's. He cracked up one night and kidnapped Marilyn's two children plus the one they'd had together. He took off to another state. I don't know if she ever got the children back again, or what happened. I know that only one child is living with her, and the other two are still young enough to be at home, but they aren't with her. This is fuzzy, but I'm trying to think of everthing in case my pieces fill in the gaps of someone else's memories.
The people who will talk about Dale Karr/Carr are Marilyn's first husband's family, since her first husband was the father of two of the children who were kidnapped. His name is Chuck Peden, his mother is Lorena Peden, and his sister is Jonna or Janna Jones (Mrs. Steve ? Jones), all of Chico, CA. They don't want to talk with me anymore, due to my connection to Chuck Newton, who Marilyn's living with.
1980 Duchette, Gay vulnerable and bilked Gay Duchette had left the Riverside Scientology Mission. She related to me that she had given all she owned to Scientology. When her money was gone she was persuaded get a loan on her home to continue with Scientology. When she could not repay the loan she lost the house. Her father, who had given her the house or paid the down payment for it, was in a rage. She said several men had kept her in a room trying to make her sign over the house to Scientology. She had due cause for a suit aganst Scientology. It was in big trouble over loans in Riverside, but she was not strong enough to stand up to the pressure of a suit. Gay was unmarried so Duchette is the family name. I think she had a brother named Jim.
1980s name unknown vulnerable and bilked Jean (Mrs. Paul) Discher (then D of P, Boston Day Organization) told some woman from Maine (he hasn't remembered the name yet) that she would die if she didn't buy a certain service.
early 80's Clark, Robert cancer Robert Clark, tech sec fdn. in the Adelaide Cof S, had throat problems. He had been undergoing such treatment as being locked in all night because his stats were not up. He had been coerced into leaving his wife and selling some of their property to send money to Flag. Bob developed the cancer in the Organization before he left. I am in contact with his ex-wife who is a prominent musician recently retired.
early 80's Vigeland, Eric psychosis Eric Vigeland was in Scientology in Boston in the late 1970s and early 1980s. I worked with him on "The Show," a covert Scientology "free concert" at which we distributed Way to Happiness booklets. Eric had been a psych case, I think. He inherited some money, gave it all to the fund to help Mary Sue in the USGO/FBI lawsuit, and got a bunch of auditing as a "reward." He was not a very stable person, and even by Scientology standards, he should have been shown the door. Scientology knew Eric was not stable when they took him in, and it's not rlght to take every cent from someone who is ill-equipped to survive on his own in society. I expect that's why his parents left him the money, so they wouldn't have to worry about his care when they were gone.
1979 Marshall, Joe Lee psychosis In 1979, Joe Lee Marshall went psychotic on NOTS. Many many people back in '79 were going psychotic on NOTS, NED for OTs, and it was being suppressed.
1978-9 Griffin, John suicide John Griffin committed suicide on OT2 in Dallas. He left a suicide note. His wife's name was Avel Griffin.
1978-9 name unknown suicide The man who was in charge of Op-Z for the Portland Organization jumped to his death from the Freemont bridge in Portland. Specific details are unknown.
1978 Brown, Leila Laten suicide Leila Laten Brown, or Lila Leighton, (26 years old at the time) jumped from an apartment building several blocks from the San Francisco Scientology Organization. She had been receiving ervices there. Before commiting suicide, she went to the home of another Scientologist (FACT's source doesn't know the name). Her boyfriend at the time was a Doug Arth, who was also a Scientologist.
late '70s name unknown suicide A guy committed suicide in Royal Oak, Michigan.
late 1970s Gervais, Gloria psychosis Gloria Gervais (spelling?) was found wandering down the middle of Beacon Street (major, heavy- traffic street in Back Bay Boston, where the Organization is) while on auditing·
late 1970's McDonough, Jack psychosis Also there was Jack McDonough (again, spelling?) who was another person seeing space invaders all around, and that's while he was the Academy Sup, Boston Day Organization.
late 70's name unknown psychosis While I was at St. Hill an unknown woman was secretly escorted home to Germany because she had become mentally ill on the OT levels· I was told by a friend who was on staff. I don't remember which one though.
1977-1982 Mayer, Scott neglect According to Mayer: "Staff members were always ill-fed, ill-clothed .... I had an abscess in my tooth and I was being audited for it. I'm ready to go to the dentist, and I was being audited for it. I spent about a week, week-and-a-half, doing... what they call touch assists to get rid of the pain.. ·. And, finally... I was just delirious and--well, there wasn't any money for medical is what it boiled down to .... I went to the dentist... he told me I'd just made it... if it had been another day or so, I wouldn't be here to talk to you."
1977 Hubbard, Quentin alleged murder xxxxx is a former member of the intelligence division (B I) of Scientology. Spanky says Kennedy saw the Quentin Hubbard files. From what he saw in the files he believed that L. Ron Hubbard ordered the death of Quentin Hubbard once he reached the hospital, and was alive, after his suicide attempt. The reason he thought Hubbard had his son murdered (reading the reports from the people in Los Vegas) even though they were vetted he saw what he firmly believed was an operation to end the embarrassment of Quentin Hubbard.
1977 Hubbard, Quentin alleged murder This also parallels with another report we got where xxxxx said that Quentin Hubbard was going around the Land base telling everyone his father was insane. This could have provided the motivation for Hubbard (L. Ron) to take care of his son after he attempted suicide·
1977 Hubbard, Quentin alleged murder Another BI GO person who was OT on the Los Vegas Quentin Mission believed this same situation: that Hubbard's son was taken off life support or something like that.
1977 Hubbard, Quentin alleged murder Vaughn Young believes Quentin Hubbard was dead on arrival at the hospital. [So there is some conflict about what happened. Vaughn has looked over these reports. Quentin Hubbard lived but allegedly was murdered in his hosp room by Scientology members]
1977 Hubbard, Quentin alleged murder Quentin's girlfriend before his death (abt. 1976) was Sue Berstein, a CCLA Div. 6 reg. (If Quentin was gay, then he was bi-sexual or Sue was a shore story. But she was definitely in love back then, and I remember Q sending her flowers.) We used to jokingly say her name so it sounded like "Super Steen" so I don't know if I have the spelling right. But Quentin seemed to fail at everything. He just loved airplanes, period. He was secretly taking drawing lessons from Larry Gluck at the beach at Flag, so no one would know if he failed. Also, his former bodyguard (Scandinavian name ·.. I don't remember right now) said that it definitely was not a suicide. I have my own way of piecing together the story, and I agree that it might not have been suicide. But I don't have anything vaguely resembling hard evidence.
1977 Hubbard, Quentin suicide or murder I was told by a source very close to the family that he was found naked in the car and that it "was not murder." I confirm the report of earlier suicide attempts while in the SO. He was put in isolation for several weeks after his 1974 suicide attempt to "destimulate" and eventually then put on the RPF.
1977 Hubbard, Quentin suicide or murder About Quentin Hubbard. Denms Erlich has written that he was Quentin's auditor and that Quentin was going around declaring that his father was insane. Not long after that he was found dead.
1977 Hubbard, Quentin suicide or murder Arti Maren was the Intelligence missionmare handling the public relations around the Quentin Hubbard death in Los Vegas.
1977 Hubbard, Quentin suicide or murder Denms Erlich was the last person to speak with Quentin Hubbard before he lef~ Flag. Erlich actually performed a cramming function on him.
1977 Hubbard, Quentin suicide or murder Bruce Raymound was the B 1 guy who did the dirty work on the Quentin Hubbard death situation in Las Vegas. He is the guy who would know for sure and who would have been most involved in the dirtiest part of the coverup or the actual murder.
1976 Fenton, Becky inducement to suicide In the Boston Organization around 1976, Becky Fenton (Mrs. Bill Fenton, Jr.) was told that since she refused to have an abortion (so her husband could use the obstetrician/childbirth money for services instead) then she ought to go kill herself and "get it over with." Becky is probably still upset about being told to commit suicide. Becky lives around Brewer or Bar Harbor, Maine. I can probably locate her, if it's of any help. She has never done any major services, but her husband keeps wandering in and out of Scientology. His parents are Scienos.
1976 King, Noel psychosis Noel King went over the edge on OT3. He gave up an enormously successful career at a resort in the Bahamas, and moved to LA to be a full-time Scientologist. He was treated like a god, since he still had lots of money from the sale of his assets. Noel stopped being able to sleep properly while on OT3. I went for a walk with him in the middle of the night, down to Hollywood Blvd. He told me that he kept seeing himself being pulled into some sort of force field, and then back out of it, and he couldn't stop these pictures from flashing, and he couldn't sleep properly. This was around 1976. He also thought he'd been Jesus Christ and Napoleon, in previous lives. I don't know what happened to Noel. I saw photos of him in early Flag promo showing the diningroom, but when I asked about him in 1988, no one at Flag seemed to recognize his name.
1976 name unknown threatened suicide I remember that one of my C1 IV intem auditors at CCLA was graduated solely because he successfully talked one of his pc's in from a ledge on the building. At some point mid-session, she had gone nuts and decided to kill herself. I don't recall my auditor's name; I had him for just a couple of sessions, and they graduated him & he was gone. (Did they get him out of there to hush the tale?)
1976 xxxxx psychosis I went nuts on Power and Power Plus./Right over the edge. I thought I was moving through space, and that I didn't have my "new ability" under control. I'd be driving down the Hollywood Freeway, and I'd find myself in downtown LA, with no idea how I got there. Then I started itching all over, under my skin, like an allergy. My nerves were shot. I was the Acting ED of Larry Gluck's school, while he was at Flag, and I was rapidly losing my hold on reality. I went to ASHO to tell them that I was PTS or something. They put me in session, told me I was a "completion," and routed me out. No Reg cycle, nothing. I could barely scrawl the success story. I was in a daze. I quit Larry's school a couple of days later, and went back to Northem California, where it took me months to be able to function normally again.
1976 name unknown psychosis There's a guy in LA... he's well-known among "old timers" because he sits in Bob's Big Boy restaurants, writing pages & pages of reports to Scientology about space invaders & such. In 1976, I was introduced to him by Gary Rist, at the Big Boy in Glendale(?) and he was quite mad. He'd supposedly gone nuts on OT3.
1975-6 Rist, Gary psychosis I remember Gary Rist, a staff member at CCLA, had a breakdown. He had a major crush on me and kept going on drinking binges; HCO asked me to keep an eye on him. I went with him to visit his father one weekend, up at Bear Lake where his father owns a motel or something. Anyway, Gary got drunk and was physically abusive. I had a terrible time getting him back to LA, but I got him there, took him to SEA Organization berthing, and dropped him there. Regardless of HCO orders, I wasn't taking physical abuse. I don't know what happened to him. HCO never said anything about him again, and I never saw him at CCLA. The Disney Alumm Club might have a current address for him. Scientology - and his untreated alcoholism - ruined what had been a promising acting career.
1975-6 name unknown suicide A married man with money from the East Coast (PA or NY) shot himself to death after auditing OT levels.
1975-- Wilson (Kaup), Shirley various Shirley Wilson, ex-wife of David J. Kaup reports suicide attempt (1977), disruption of family (1978), and denial of needed orthodonic treatment to her daughter (1982).
mid 70s Gerrold, Bobby cancer Bobby Gerrold (spelling?), a good friend, died of cancer. I'm not certain when, but it was probably in the mid-to-late 1970's. He was at least OT3. Near as I can tell from accounts, he postponed medical treatment, kept getting auditing, and when he was obviously dying, they told him he couldn't get anymore auditing. By then he was bankrupted by the auditing, and it was too late for medical intervention anyway. Bobby was originally from Texas, I think. I knew him at Alan Walter's Salt Lake City mission.
mid-70sname unknown psychosis Some pc was crawling across the floor at reception in mid-1970s CCLA, making weird whimpering noises. Yvonne apparently saw the woman on the floor and cheerfully said, "Oh, that's just (name)." This was an enduring anecdote at CCLA, showing how "big a being" Yvonne was, and how tolerant CC was of "eccentricities."
1974 Dardano, Robert psychosis "I became a member of the Church of Scientology in 1974. In March of 1974 I was routed off the Church of Scientology staff for being PTS Type 3. PTS Type 3 is a Scientology term which classifies persons to be insane if they are anti-Scientology.
1974 names unknown murder At what was known as Old AOLA Organization on Brendo Street, two advanced orgamzation staff members were found murdered in the trash bin behind the building.
1973 Anderson, Kirk psychosis I was not at the mission the day (between July and October 1973) Kirk Anderson came in with a shotgun and threatened the SLC mission staff because we were alienating him from his new-Scio wife, Yolanda. However, I was there the rest of the time when Kirk and Yolanda first came in, through when Yolanda lef~ for the SO. Yolanda is the same person mentioned in "the informer," who's child was a victim of terrible Scientology childcare and I have her mailing address somewhere. Kirk was the ED of the Salt Lake mission for years, and I suspect he's still on staff there.
1973 Dalton, Jim psychosis Jim Dalton supposedly had drug flashbacks from going too quickly onto the mucusless diet in 1973. He was a Scio in Salt Lake City and Geri Knight (ED) told him that the mucusless diet was what he needed. I answered the phone at the mission a couple of times when he was talking about the visions he was having .... The mother of his son, Martha Tatum (new last name?), is an exec in Denver .... Others who knew that he'd gone nuts and he was on orders not to come into the mission: Dick Cook (course sup), Geri Knight (gd), Frances Godwin (D of P), Chuck Newton (course sup/auditor), Jay Gibson (auditor), Dave West (auditor), Hazel Dominguez West (auditor, course sup), Joe Duncanson (estates), Lindy Duncanson (public), Charlotte Sandoval (public), and others whose names I've forgotten. Hazel is still in Scientology and is a cab driver in Salt Lake City, and I've already mentioned Frances and Chuck. Joe & Lindy Duncanson are FSMs in Colorado.
1973 Surry, Steve psychosis Steve Surry (spelling?) kept having psychotic breaks, while he was the ED of Alan Walter's Salt Lake City mission. He'd be screaming his lungs out during sessions, begging for someone, anyone to help him. His auditor, Geri Knight, swore that he was just running out dramatizations, as if this was really good for him. I think Steve is still happily in Scientology.
1970's Robertson, Bill psychosis "Capt. Bill" (LA Organization and AOLA, t970's) is on your list. Surely he had a family somewhere who watched him go insane in Scientology. In the research of this rundown on Flag, Captain Bill Robertson had numerous psychotic breaks.
early 70's name unknown criminal acts In the early 70s, an older gentleman, a staff member either at the Mission or the Scientology Organization had a heart attack while he was in the building. The staff members were afraid that it would reflect badly on Scientology so they took his body out of the organization where he died, stripped him naked, stripped him of his ID, (she wasn't quite certain if they stripped him naked but is sure they took his ID) and put the dead body in a trash dumpster several blocks away.
1972 Gutmann, Mike suicide A set of twins were involved in Scientology and one of the twin brothers, Mike Gutmann, committed suicide.
1970's Patterson, Randy suicide Randy Patterson, former husband of Laurie (Best) Patterson, shot himself to death while on a Solo auditing level, probably the 'clearing course.' This was in the 70s when AOLA was located at the present celebrity center annex.
1970s Klein, Keith suicide A Keith Kline or Klein from the Detroit area killed himself by gunshot in the middle 1970s. He had done 'processing' and 'training' there and some courses in L.A. FACT's source remembers a Keith Kline or Klein who was a staff member, class IV auditor, and course supervisor on the ASHO briefing course who committed suicide. Keith's father committed suicide and he became very depressed over this. Keith got auditing at ASHO for this depression and suddenly left and went to Detroit where his family saw how depressed he was and possibly put him in a mental hospital. Then he came out and committed suicide.
The question surrounding this individual is that the auditing that he had may have aggravated his suicidal tendencies when he was already depressed about his father's suicide. The Guardian's Office was notified by Ron Neuman that he believed his friend was in trouble and suicidal. Ron notified the police.
????? Kline, Keith suicide Keith Kline, a person from Detroit who had money, worked for Ron Neuman. He was on OT 3 when he committed suicide.
early 1970's Schaeffer, Paul suicide FACT's source knew of the suicide of a friend of a friend who had just left the group. His name was Paul Schaeffer. At the time, I was told that he got "messed up" because he left the group.
1971 Meister, Susan suicide or murder Susan Meister had a very intense argument with Hubbard before she committed suicide in public on the decks of the Apollo. FACT's source was standing on deck on watch at the time and saw it all occur.
An article in the LA Times, Tuesday August 29, 1978, "Scientology Mystery" talks about the Miester suicide.
Arti Marren is reported to have been involved in the coverup of Susan Meister's death.
1970-71 Burner, Charles inducement to suicide xxxxx, a former high-level Scientology exective, was ordered by Hubbard to reverse audit enemies of Scientology if there was opportunity to do so. The purpose was to induce psychosis or suicide. He was actually sent on a mission to capture Charles Burner, a former high level Scientology auditor who had started a group called the Abilitism. According to FACT's source, he was ordered to capture or reverse audit or murder Charles Burner.
1970-71 Pruitt, Wayne suicide Wayne Pruitt (Pruett) from Missouri ????? jumped from the Elks Bldg in Hollywood or the McArthur Park area around 1970-71. The building may not be there now. He was receiving Scientology service at the time; he is believed to have been on the upper OT levels.
1969 Sharp, James and Gaul, Doreen CORRECTION This is a suggestion to drop this from the original mailing. Doreen Gaul and James Sharp. I think you're on very thin ice here. From all evidence, they were victims of some LA satanic cult. They were found naked, circa 1969, with their eyes gouged out. James was an incredibly sweet kid from the midwest whose father, Don Sharp, also a very nice man, was in LA doing advanced courses. I'm unaware of anything linking Scientology personnel actions in any way to this tragedy.
1969 Esterman (Chaleff), Sally cancer She did have a positive pap smear in 1969 which then reversed after auditing. This may have given her false confidence in auditing as THE solution. I know that her sister believes she could have been saved with proper medical care but I believe she's under the impression that Sally herself rejected this. Months before her death she was in Mexico in an "alternative" clinic. An SEA Organization recruit had been assigned to assist her. Incredibly, [her son] was never informed of any of this. When he found out, she kept giving him the impression she was getting better, so her own denial was very high. I would appreciate any information you may have that she was actually denied proper care.
????? Challeff, Sally cancer Sally Challeff, a Scientology staff member, was allowed to die of treatable cancer.
Circa 1969 name unknown attempted suicide A person on OT levels jumped from the 10th floor of a building in LA, landed on a car, and incredibly only broke his arm. I believe his name was Mike, but I don't recall last name.
1968 Stewart, James suicide James Stewart. At the time, Sea Organization penalties were: Liability, 24 hours sleep deprivation; Doubt, 48 hours sleep deprivation. The two penalties were cumulative. Stewart was in at the Advanced Organization in Edinburgh, Scotland. He had injured himself and was assigned Doubt. In my estimation, the sleep deprivation drove him over the edge. As reported in the mailing of Jan. 3, 1994, Stewart jumped to his death in Edinburgh Scotland. He was on OT#, a class 7 auditor, and the Executive Director of the Durban Organization.
1966-67 Nieman, Malcolm negligence Malcolm Nieman (lives in London) had a close brush with death. He contracted meningitis, and was audited for many hours, getting worse by the moment. My husband and I found him unconscious on the floor (that evening) with severe diarrhoea and vomiting. We got an ambulance to rush him to hospital. On the way to hospital the ambulance driver indicated to me that Malcolm was going to die. He didn't, but it was touch and go for a while.
1960 Halprm, Dick suicide Dick Halprm committed suicide in the early 60's. He was the author of The Whole Track Security Check.
Part Two: ALPHABETICAL LISTINGS (NO DATE)
????? Aaron, Grace CORRECTION "not an attempted suicide" Grace Aaron took an overdose of sleeping pills on OT V. She is a highly trained field auditor for Narconon. She says it was a mistake, not an attempted suicide. The C/S wanted her to handle it.
????? Anderson, Yolanda child abuse Yolanda [ Anderson] is the same person mentioned in "the informer," whose child was a victim of terrible Scientology childcare.
????? Atherton, Warren negligence Warren Atherton, an ex-Scientology member in Detroit who died, is said to have died because of not taking medication for a medical condition.
'????? Axel, John assult xxxxx told xxxxx about the beating of John Axel. There is a backup report about this beating in the minutes of the San Francisco Mission Holders meeting -- where Scientology was actually dumb enough print up this incident and distribute it. Apparently, John Axel was also beaten by, I believe, David Miscavige or other high level Scientology executives.
????? Balentine, Brad psychosis Brad Balentine, a member of the guardian office, one of the GO/OSA Intelligence Operatives, became psychotic.
????? Bamey, Carl psychosis Carl Barney went psychotic on the Apollo and was guarded by three other people on the ship. Carl Barney had been made to sit for months doing "blinkless TRs." One of the periodic extremes Hubbard took no responsibility for. I heard that at one point he was strapped to his chair.
????? Bear, Debbie child abuse Miscarried while working on the RPF. Actually had the miscarriage while digging a ditch and started bleeding. She ran to the head RPF guard and told him she had to go to the hospital. The guard told her to go back to the ditch and keep digging. And she miscarried right there in the ditch.
????? Box, Theo & daughter Jenny child abuse While I was an auditor in the organization the daughter ofa scientologist was brought to my house to have somewhere for constant care as she had become mentally ill and was being protected from the medical profession and from her mother who was a nonscientologist. The GO was involved. There was to be a roster of people to be with her but it didn't eventuate. Her father was here much of the time and at other times she was left with me. She wandered off when I was alone with her and ended up in a hospital. In her "condition" she talked of her personal relationship to LRH and a whole scenario of past and future events around this theme. She was being audited. The father is OT7or8 and still in the Orgamzation, I think. His name is Theo Box. His daughter was Jenny.
????? Brigliatto, Mario CORRECTION attempted suicide #81 on page three of the January mailing had no last name. The name is Mario Brigliatto.
????? Broeker, Annie psychosis xxxxx CSed Annie Broker when she had a psychotic break in auditing. When last this staff member saw Annie Broeker she was being audited quite a bit. She remembers a lot of screaming and yelling coming out of the auditing rooms on a daily basis, and she sensed something was wrong.
????? Bruemmer, Melanie cancer Melanie Bruemmer (re' MICHEALS ) (also named names of Perkins & Schaffer ) died of ovarian cancer. She was class IX and Senior C/S Foundation at the San Francisco Organization.
????? Charlton, Pam child abuse Pam Charlton had a baby that died while she was in the Sea Organization
????? Casissu, Maude (a new suicide) suicide
????? Colletto, John and Diane murder/suicide John Colletto and Diane Colletto. As it was told to me, John had threatened Diane and she had been assigned someone to escort her for her safety. John got to her anyway, forced her into a car, drove somewhere, shot her, then cut his wrists. Your version may be more accurate. This was a truly great tragedy as Diane was brilliant and wonderful. I believe, however, that John was not in the SO when this happened. He had been declared a couple of times previously by SO missions, and I believe he was still out of the organization, though I'm not sure.
????? Confliti, Luigi negligence Luigi ? Confliti he didn't speak much English but he was denied medical treatment by Scientology when he really needed it.
????? Crichton, Alan vulnerable and bilked Alan Crichton lives in Maine and New York City. He's a former institutionalized mental patient who inherited a lot of money. It's managed by a trust fund so he can't go through it too quickly. Nevertheless, he wanders in and out of being extremely unhappy with Scientology. He's had his OT levels delivered by an auditor, since he isn't allowed to see the confidential stuff. He's a brilliant artist who fights depression, and he's not getting the care he needs in Scientology. His wife, Loma, is practically rabidly in favor of Scientology, and actively takes services. They give lots & lots of his money to Scientology...
???? Cruise, Tom psychosis Tom Cruise (the actor) became psychotic during auditing. Cruise was on OT3 and Scientology had to bring him back to the Tbase because he looked so bad.
????? Davis, Bruce murder, psychosis Bruce Davis is a convicted member of Charles Manson's "family." At one time he was Foundation Staff at St. Hill. Vincent Bugliosi's book on Manson asserts a relationship between Davis and a murdered teenage Scientologist.
????? Delgro, Heidi assult See document from HCO Scientology Sea Organization Ethics Officer, September, 28 1993 dealing with the isolation watch of Heidi Delgro.
????? DuBraun, Jeff assault Jeff DuBraun, the former AGPR, was apparently paid a substantial amount of money. He didn't name it. But I got the impression that we talking between $50,000 and $250,000 by the GO to remain silent. Apparently, Jeff broke his silence and was beaten up by someone whom he attributes to Scientology. So Jeff is being real tight lipped now.
???? Eichron, Manfred attempted suicide Manfred Eichron was baby watched and attempted suicide.
????? Emery, Randy OT levels; brain tumor Randy Emery ( Staff at Sterling Management ) died of a brain tumor. He was on the OT levels ? and a class IV staff auditor.
????? Erikson, Mick psychosis Mick Erikson became violent on OT 6. As far as I know, his wife still has him barricaded in his house to prevent him from violently attacking someone.
????? Fairchild, Fred psychosis From the Detroit Orgamzation, Fred Fairchild who was the ED on and off again in the late 60's early 70's had some real rough times mentally, psychotic or not I do not know. I remember hearing tons of rumor line of extreme alcohol and drug abuse after leaving staff, and he was Clear and possibly OT 3.
????? Field, Bud murder A Florida boat broker Bud Fields' home was infiltrated by Bonme Mott, whose real name is Yvonne Shirley Mott. Her post was the Authorization & Verification Officer for the Commador Messenger Orgamzation (CMO).
Bonnie Mott infiltrated the Bud and Leigh or Lee Fields' home as a govemess. She was ordered by Marty Rathbum, one of the heads of the Scientology Intelligence Agency, to murder Bud Fields because he wouldn't sell this boat (Free Winds) that Scientology wanted to Miscavige. Aher Fields was murdered, the boat was bought by Scientology within a one week.
????? Fuller, Sandy attempted suicide Sandy Fuller attempted suicide. She was a full OT. (There is another Sandy Fuller listed below.)
????? Fuller, Sandy //2. negligence According to a report from a third party, Sandy almost died due to lack of medical care while she was in Scientology. (There is another Sandy Fuller listed above. There are probably two Sandy Fullers in Scientology.
????? xxxxx child abuse There is a study on miscarriages and birth deformities among female Scientology staff members, particularly in the Sea Orgamzation of Scientology. This was done because even internally they were alarmed at the number of babies being born deformed, with extremely low birth weight, and with a lot of difficulties.
????? Gallop, Siama cancer At St. Hill, Peter Gallop's wife, Siama (spelling may be incorrect), developed cancer. Peter was away on a mission of some kind (they were both in the Sea Organization). She trudged through the snow on her own getting medical help. She had paid for OT levels and NOTS. How much she had done is unknown. She hadn't had NOTS. She didn't recieve any auditing help in her illness or in her dying. Evidently she hung on to the body way past the time of leaving, because she was afraid of not knowing how to leave under the influence of drugs.
???? Garrison, Chris psychosis Chris Garrison is another person who had a complete character transformation at one point in Scientology, where they "broke" his spirit. I don't know if he went over the edge, or what. Chris is still in Scientology after a failed deprogramming attempt by his family.
???? Geary, Dorothy psychosis Dorothy Geary became psychotic in San Francisco.
????? Geary, Dorothy psychotic Another report says Dorothy Geary was in her 20s and places her in Hemet.
???? Godwin, Frances psychosis Frances Godwin (who was briefly married to Bobby Gerrold, the guy who died of cancer) went nuts on the ship, during the researching of XDn. By her own account, she sat in her bathroom for weeks and her parents couldn't get her to come out. Alan Walter is the one who went to her home and talked her out of the bathroom. Last thing I knew, Frances was a successful field auditor in LA.
????? Griffin, Ellen OT levels; cancer Ellen Griffin (or Griffen ) died of breast cancer on OT VII. She was a Class VI auditor and an FSM
????? Hancock, Adam (?) accidental shooting A Delphi grad shot himself- by accident (?) with gun loaded with blanks (think this was Adam Hancock). He is a paraplegic now and church tried to get his wife to get all his money and disconnect from him.
???? Harman, Isobel psychosis Isobel Harman went to St. Hill for OT levels. She had been on staff in Melbourne in the early days and then in Adelaide. She was energetic, competent and very, knowledgable. She returned from St. Hill after being sent home while still on OT 2. She appeared to be completely disoriented and irrational. "She" was missing. The condition calmed and she is living quietly but according to her husband, Ray, the real person is "still not there."
???? Hartwell, Adell neglect Adell Hartwell was promised by recruiters to be given special auditing and proper medical care for her illness. No treatment was given, and her condition was growing progressively worse. One day I worked without eating. It was 102 degrees in the shade: By five-thirty I just got deathly ill, and I told them I had to leave. And I staggered quite a ways .... I fell in the ditch; it was like I was drunk. Another time I complained I had to go home because I wasn't being treated. I was thin and bleeding and in quite severe pain, and they took me right in and put me on the Meter. The next night they had us scrubbing the barn; we started at six o'clock and we scrubbed that barn until four o'clock in the moming. Anybody that ran a fever was immediately put out of commission. But anybody that was ill and not runrang a fever, they were made fun of and ridiculed.
????? Hautek, Sheila Marsh CORRECTION cancer Sheila Marsh Hautek was involved in a credit card scam and also was allegedly coerced into buying auditing when she had cancer cycsts. Apparently what is called the "Hubbard Executive Secretary" ran up her credit card bills to keep getting more auditing while they knew she had cancer. She died during auditing. SHE MAY HAVE DIED. THIS IS NOT KNOWN.
????? Jentzsch, Yvonne cancer I was at CC when Yvonne GillJam was running it. Heber was hanging around... a folk singer. I heard that Hubbard and Sci wouldn't spend a dime on medical care for her and tried to audit out her cancer and then told her that it would take to much auditing and that it would be easier for her to just leave her body.
???? Kaplan, Murray Don psychosis Murray Don Kaplan is a SO member who was deprived of sleep for 72 hours in Edinburgh. He was on OT III and had a psychotic break and was put on "baby watch." It's my evaluation that the sleep deprivation drove him over the edge.
????? Kapuler, Cheryl OT levels Cheryl Kapuler completed OT8, came back, and almost lost her house. Then she broke her ankle one week later. Last yr her husband Allan died (1993).
????? Kapuler, Virgima cancer You might add to your list Virgima Kopuler or Capular who had cancer soon after leaving the ship. As her condition became acute, she went to Mexico to get some help from a Phillipino faith healer and while he indicated she had let it get too far, he did some work on people on NOTS in AOLA lives and many of them flocked down. The A/G AOLA was in the process of declaring them, and was reported to have made the remark "she (Virginia) would be better dead than get such healing. We got a by-pass of her from the LRH Comm on the ship so the declare never got done or was soon suspended.
????? Kretz, Wendy cancer Wendy Kretz or Krentz lived in the Los Angeles area. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and chose not to receive chemotherapy, but Scientology auditing instead. Needless to say, the cancer killed her and lef~ her husband with three small children.
????? Ladd, Andy vulnerable and bilked Andy Ladd gave most of his inherited money to that front group. Concerned Businessmen of America (?) and his background hasn't really prepared him to be able to earn much of a living. He and his wife are vehemently in Scientology.
????? Larson, Don assault Don Larson was beaten.
???? Lee, Martha ??? psychosis xxxxx wouldn't tell me very much, because her brother is in such fear, but he apparently went completely mad on Scientology services and had to be institutionalzed. His wife (still Scio) divorced him and he lost all rights to his kids. He's recently remarried and is piecing his life together, and is afraid that if he speaks out, he'll jeopardize any future chance of regaining custody of his kids.
????? Lee, Dr. ??? psychosis Dr Lee performed some sort of illegal operation on someone for cancer under the direction of the church when he was in Scientology in a motel near Clearwater, FL. Then he was put on the RPF. He became severely psychotic on the RPF. According to the last report, Lee is living something like a street person, still quite psychotic, in the mountains of San Bemadino, CA.
???? Lewis, Geoff psychosis Geoff Lewis (the actor) became psychotic during auditing.
????? Lewis, Peter psychosis & suicide Peter Lewis, the ED of the LA ORG, went psychotic and tried to kill himself and was incarcerated by fellow Scientology staff members at a house several blocks from the LA ORG (I believe for several weeks) until he stabilized.
????? Loughgran, Tom parkinson's disease Tom Loughgran - right af~er OT VII he suddenly became ill with Parkinson's Disease - class VIII
????? Magerowski, Jann Borowski psychosis Jann Borowski Magerowski, NOTs, still on staff at Bsn Orgamzation-Day, has been seeing leprechauns in her apartment for years. She also talks about spaceships like they're an everyday occurrence. Well, I've seen LIFOs, too, but she's talking in entirely different, off-the-wall terms. She seems the most stable person in the world when you meet her socially, even on a daily basis. Once she feels that she can trust you, then she starts telling these completely wild tales, in all seriousness. I think she's multiple personality; the two personalities I've seen were immensely likeable, but the one who sees leprechauns is a little scary, nevertheless.
????? Many, Nancy child abuse xxxxx mentioned Nancy Many, who also while on the RPF (which is like the Scientology gulag) gave birth to a baby with respiratory problems.
????? McKee, (first name unknown) cancer Brown McKee's (spelling?) wife died after trying to treat cancer with NOTs auditing, and waiting too long for adequate medical care.
????? Miscavige, (first name unknown) suicide David Miscavige's sister, who was an OT7, committed suicide.
'.~???? Miscavige, Ron (David Miscavige's father) depression Ron Miscaviage, OT7, married to Loretta Miscavige (an auditor and nurse), suffers deep depression from behind closed doors. He seems happy and joviel in the ideal Scientology character, but he suffers quite a bit from depression.
????? Morris, Debby cancer Debby Morris breast cancer on OT VII - class IV auditor
'????? Myersdorf, Sandra cancer GO member died of cancer in her 40's. Medical neglect of staff member suspected.
????? Newton, Chuck vulnerable and bilked Chuck Newton gave nearly all his money to Scientology, even traded his Jaguar XKE to Alan Walter, and Alan used the mission's commission slips to let Chuck get auditing in LA. We were convinced by Richard Stewart (the great financial expert .... HA!) and by ASHO, AOLA, and Flag, to embezzle farm income and give it to Flag for services. No, they didn't use the word "embezzle." They said, "Take control of your money," and "manage your flows." We nearly ended up in major trouble for that, once the money was gone and we discovered that we'd done something illegal. I don't recall the names of any of the regs involved. It was only about $17,000, but we had a very difficult time setting things right once we realized the illegality... we'd already given everything else to Scientology.
???? Payton, Vicki threatened suicide Vicki Payton or Fayton - told me she was considering dropping her body after the Key to Life Course. She is OT V and ex-Sea Orgamzation. She was "given a wrong indication" in a Flag Ethics cycle. AOLA audited her for a year after her husband wrote up a complaint and sent it up lines. She divorced her husband and left her job after Key to Life.
????? Pinion, Spanky child abuse Spanky Pinion specifically mentioned that while she was on the RPF, she had a three pound baby. She had it rushed to the hospital. The medical officer said to tell the hospital that she was indigent so that Scientology wouldn't have to pay the bill. It was a medi-care fraud issue.
Spanky believes the reasons for the study on miscarriages, also mentioned earlieer in this list, was done because Scientology would not spend any money on pre-natal care and was working staff day and night, not feeding them, and putting them under such extreme stress. And that was why they were having so many problems with staff members babies.
????? Price, Ellen cancer Ellen Price - Meagan Shields thought she had very suspicious breast condition Ellen was in aco - audit for FPRD - class VI, ex - staff auditor, OT IV. I am very (the word very was underlined a couple of times) concerned about Ellen. She didn't want to check out the condition with a mammogram and was trying cleanses to deal with it.
80's Riddel, Betty child abuse & purification rundown Betty Riddel is still a loyal Scientologist in the Organization. In the early 80's (dating is not reliable) she went to Flag. She had promised her son some of her time for a long time. She asked him to go to the US and they would have a holiday. When he arrived he had been enroled in a course with money borrowed in his name. At some time after finding this out he left and came home. He was worried about debt and felt betrayed. He went "mad" and began beating his father and screaming at him to read dianetics etc. His father was and is retired due to illness and maintains the family home. He couldn't be handled at home in his violence and was put in a mental hospital, let out drugged and has had return visits to the hospital as an inmate. Their young daughter also despairing of attention and of constant breaking of agreements to outings and time together when in early teens began taking drugs and became a heroin addict. She was brought to me for a day when 'at her best' by a freind. She put all the light globes on the roof and without undies did handstands in front of guests. She was in the habit of running naked in the streets and stealing alcohol, etc., etc. She told me she had begun to eat her bedroom and when calm talked as a very young child walking around the house crooning to a teddy bear. Before the drugs she had the condition of being unable to eat (I have forgotten the label) At school she had excelled. Both young people had been constantly pushed to do courses or to have auditing. I don't know what they had had apart from the Purification Rundown
????? Roberts, John Purification Rundown - injury John Roberts became comatose and died while on the purification rundown at East Grinsted.
????? Rubineck, Brian death xxxxx reported that a Brian Rubineck died. He was a former guardian office member.
????? Sams, Jan child abuse Jan Sams from Dallas had a deformed baby while in the Sea Organization.
????? Seffers, Van Purification Rundown - death Van Seffers died on the purification rundown. This is a new report since the Jan. 3 mailing that reported Van died at Flag or on his return to Europe.
????? Schafner, Bob suicide or accident The guy that was run over by a truck while riding his bicycle, who FACT's contributor thought was a suicide on OT3, was Bob Schafner.
????? Smith, Homer psychosis Homer Smith states that he became psychotic on the solo OT levels, but he said he was auditing these on his own as a renegade, outside of Scientology. This could point again to the danger of using these materials when people are in trance state and it is suggested to them that they are "more than one person."
????? Smith, Rita Crane, Steven suicide Rita Smith and Steven Craine (or Crane) are reported to have committed suicide at East Grinstead.
????? Solari, Cam OT levels; cancer Cam Solari, a Class VI auditor, died of breast cancer while on OT VII.
????? Stouffer, Mary cancer GO member died of cancer in her 40's. Mary Stouffer was the assistant guardian in the Sacramento Organization. Staff medical negligence suspected.
????? Vigeland, Eric vulnerable and bilked Every cent of his inheritance to Scientology. He should never have left psychiatric care.
????? Vilinsky, Phil Phil Vilinsky who died at the La Quinta in Florida. Actually during auditing, the auditor didn't know what to do. Apparently, Scientology, failed to relate exactly how he died to the family; they created some sort of shore story. But, he was on the purification rundown when this happened. xxxxx is aware of this situation, and it is believed that xxxxx is aware of a lot more deaths and situations like this. In the Jan 3 mailing, Phil Valinski (#34) died during auditing at La Quinta in California.
????? Voorhies, Dave psychosis Janna Moreillan who is in Seattle and a class 8 auditor since the 50s, is somehow connected to Dave Voorhies. He previously lived in Seattle, Washington and was drugged with Thorazine and told it was vitamins when he was going psychotic on OT 3.
???? Wakefield, Margery psychosis &neglect I tried to do this for many years: I sat in my room, and did everything as I had been trained to do. What I actually believed I was doing was talking to these "demons" and convincing them to go away.
When doing this auditing I experienced a number of really weird things. I started getting incredible headaches. In addition, I started to have terrible nightmares, and I would wake up in the middle of the night just sweating and shaking with terror. I was getting sicker by the day. I had to call up my doctor, who was himself on 0T 3 at the time, because I was getting so sick. I really thought I was going to die.
I finally begged for some help. I was sent in to see a man called the Director of Processing. He told me I needed an even higher level of auditing than OT 3 to cure my problem. This was called New Era Dianetics for 0T's (NED for 0T's for short). Their plan worked fairly well. For the first few weeks at~er I arrived in Madison, I was totally psychotic. I was in terrible mental pain for weeks. I fully believed that, not having completed NED for OT's successfully, I would probably die or be taken over by the demons. I felt like I was, literally, fighting for my mind. I went through unendurable and indescribable agonies. I was in a complete state of shock. I could not deal with what had happened to me. My mind just wouldn't function at all. I couldn't understand anything that was written for a period of time. When I would listen to the television or radio, I would hear the words, but it was as if it were a foreign language. Conceptually, my mind would not interpret the sounds.
???? Wright, Alan uncertain There are two Alan Wrights. One is very well and successful as a Ron's Organization teacher. The other one signed papers, and his house was taken from hun. All his money was sitting with a meter and all available materials that had been sold to him and he said, as I remember, that he couldn't have the services he'd paid for as he was an illegal PC. Some of the materials and the meter were brought to me to care for. xxxxx was concerned at the conditions that he was living in and the fact that he appeared suicidal.
Part three: COMBINED OR MULTIPLE LISTS

Part Four: NAMES UNKNOWN
????? (last name unknown), Joe negligence A guy died at Royal Oak, Michigan from a medical condition while receiving auditing. Death subject's name was Joe (?) and that he lived in Pontiac, Michigan and went to Royal Oak Scientology center for his services.
????? (last name unknown), Mark suicide Mark was a member of the Key Out Players and an HQS course supervisor at Celebrity Center who killed himself.
????? (last name unknown), Michaela suicide A girl named Michaela (in her 30's) committed suicide a few years ago. Her dad was actor Denms Patrick. She did colonics. She lived in Los Feliz. She dabbled in Scientology and had lots of Scientology clients.
????? name unknown suicide A French industrialist jumped to his death while receiving Scientology auditing. He was quite wealthy.
????? xxxxx inducement to suicide FACT's source refers to a person who was induced to commit suicide. She had attempted suicide four times. She had some sort of auditing about Jesus incidents which helped forward her suicide. Apparently she was sent a hand-written letter from a Scientology case worker named Sue MacDonald which implied that she should commit suicide.
????? name unknown suicide A girl or women in Dearborn, Michigan became suicidal during auditing. Scientology stopped auditing her and made her sign a waiver and made her use her credit cards to buy a whole bunch more auditing and run up all kinds of bills on the credit cards.
????? name unknown suicide or murder A women said her cousin was pushed off a building by Scientologist many years ago and that she is afraid to say anything more about it. Apparently Scientology found out she was going to file a lawsuit and sent in a plant to subvert the lawsuit.
????? name unknown Purification Rundown - death A gentleman in Washington state died on the purification rundown.
????? name unknown criminal acts A person, name unknown, drowned in a bathtub at Flag. The GO/OSA apparently went to the guy's room and sanitized it in the sense of removing anything that would incriminate Scientology before the police arrived to do their investigation. They created a shore story that he fell down in the bathtub, and that's how he died (FACTNet's contributor was there at the time). There was a tremendous hush hush about anything having to do with this guys death. The implication from FACTNet's contributor is that the samtized room stopped any meaningful investigation by local police.
????? name unknown criminal acts The person we mentioned in our first questionnaire who drowned in the bathtub at the Flag Land Base was actually from Germany, so that is an additional piece of information.
????? name unknown airplane crash I was told that the First Officer of the Air Florida 737 that crashed in the river in Washington, DC was on OT III. There was a mission sent to hush up the fact that he was a Scientologist.
????? name unknown suicide Fact's source lived with a young man for approximately a week, in LA, in the '72 time frame. They were taking Scientology courses. He was in his 20's, about 5' 8" tall with dark hair and eyes. The source later saw him at Flag, Clearwater, FL in '76 or '77. The source heard later from the ED of Detroit Organization. Patty ? (last name unknown) that he was receiving auditing in Detroit, but he had badly stalled and was in a lot of trouble. He was sent to Flag to get cleaned up; he was seriously overrun. When I saw him at Flag, he was under constant care and looking at rocks. He was sent home 3 weeks later to Detroit. A couple of months later, he hung himself from a rafter in his garage. His best friend was on staff, and his name was Mark. Pattie, the ex ED would know them. He might be from the Flint, Michigan area.
Corrections CORRECTION: January mailing #50: Doreen Gaul and James Sharp. Further information suggests tht these deaths were "random Los Angeles violence" having nothing to do with Scientology.
CORRECTION: January mailing #61: the correct date of Steven Fishman 's arrest is 1988, not 1986.
CORRECTION: "EOC" auditing refers to "END OF CYCLE" (that is, suicide) -- not "end of case."
CORRECTION: In the list of names of persons FACTNet would like to contact, the name "Jay Grossman" should have been GROSFELD.
CLARIFICATION: In the January mailing's introductory paragraphs, to save words, we referred to Califomia's Restatement of Agency, Section 395(f) as a "law." In fact it is a legal principle used in defense, not law.
CLARIFICATION: "Psychosis" as used in this document is not a medical term. "Psychosis" is used in the common Scientology jargon sense meaning serious and obviously irrational conduct, sometimes violent, and possibly occurring in abrupt and identifiable episodes. The jargon term for a sudden episode is "psychotic break."
Other corrections are in the alphabetical or date listings where appropriate.
NOTE
Only by assembling all of our personal recollections concerning the individuals and circumstances mentioned herein will it be possible to pierce any possible Scientology coverups and prevent possible future calamaties. It is a miracle in many ways that the reports mentioned in this questionnaire have squeezed through the cracks of Scientology's secrecy structure, intelligence agency procedures, and practice of destroying incriminating documents.

1989 Wakefield, Margery attempted suicide 9 April 1989, Margery had started in treatment with a counselor at Northside Center, and was being seen by Dr. Dagon for medication. However, her functioning on the unit continued to deteriorate to the point that her relationships with her peers disintegr ated and at one point she became totally unable to work on the unit and left work early. On this occasion, she apparently made a suicide gesture and was subsequently hospitalized. Her suicide attempts are directly related to past Scientology auditing.

????? Filmsky, Betty cancer John Filinsky's first wife, Betty Filinsky, was first Solo NOTS completion and died of lung cancer, I think right after her "world tour" as the latest great success of NOTS auditing.
1986-8 Moro (Klinger), Cat psychosis Between 1986 and 88 Cat Moro (Klinger) became psychotic while on auditing and was taken to the home of wealthy Scientologist, Marshall Goldblatt, and kept there for months while she was psychotic. Her husband, Jim Moro, and she were both in the OSA/GO. Ji m was in charge for tax task force which helped get them their IRS tax exemption.
Apparently, after 3 or 4 months at Goldblatt's Cat was transferred back to where she could be watched all the time and became a folder administrator at AOLA. These incidents all occurred between 1986 and 88. Maggie Butterworth is the person who supervised the situation with Cat Moro, the security risk who became psychotic.
1986 Rimando, Rodney CORRECTION suicide Rodney Rimondo jumped out a window at either the Celebrity Center or the LA Organization. Irene was the mother who allegedly got no settlement from Scientology. IN FACT'S JANUARY MAILING THIS NAME WAS INCORRECTLY SPELLED "RAMANDO."

1982-84 Lionini, Paolo cancer At Ben Kugler's Florida condo, Paolo Lionira -- a staff member at Delphi Oregon -- died while on lines at Flag. Poalo wrote the book called Lepsig Died. He died in Clearwater, FL between 1982-84 at 100 Pierce St #602 or 603. He was getting auditing at Fla g while he had cancer.
1983 Cloud, David Orin death David Orm Cloud died on June 5, 1983 in a car accident. He was in LA for auditing before he died. He thought he was going to die. FACT's source said his comments were, "He thought he was going to die, because he was just giving up." She doesn't know much more. He was thirty years old. He was involved with the Better Baby Institute. He was involved in Scientology for 8 or 9 years beginrang in 1977.
1983 McCann, Terry Purification Rundown - death Terry McCann had his retinas detach while on the purification rundown from all the sweat outs and whatever they were putting him through. He went blind from this. He went into a depression from this and died or committed suicide.
1983 xxxxx Purification Rundown - injury "I nearly died on the Purif at the Boston Organization. I didn't know it at the time. I had a heat stroke in the sauna, stopped perspiring, teeth started chattering, and things kept blacking-out on me, visually. I put on all of my winter clothes and went back into the sauna (I was by myself at this point, as there was only one other guy on the Purif with me, and our schedules weren't quite the same), and I still felt freezing cold. I climbed from the basement to the second floor (lots of stairs) where the D of P told me that "the way out is the way through," and that's what came back from the CS, too. If the Admin who was supposed to see that I got back into the sauna, hadn't violated orders and forcibly pushed me into a cool shower, I might well have die d, "just following orders." I had another heat stroke, or at least heat exhaustion (I had different symptoms, and the diagnosis varied between the two), in 1990. My last doctor suspected that I have hypothalamus damage - which can be neither tested nor tr eated. He checked my electrolyte reports from the last heat stroke, and he said that they didn't seem in a low enough range to have caused the damage he suspects. I've been too embarrassed to tell my doctor about the Purif heat stroke - it may be where I started having these problems - but I can't do a whole lot about it anyway. When I had a heat stroke on the Purif, the D of P was Jeannie Scoglio, the C/S was either Ken Sermo or Rick Siegal (spelling?) at Boston Organization. The Admm who pushed me into the shower/saved my life was Rich Gerard. Otherwise, I'd have died all alone in that sauna in a lonely comer of the Boston Organization basement. I believe that all of these people are still in Scientology, and most are still at the Boston Organization, D ay staff.
1982 Brewer, Ed negligence Ed Brewer was involved in a car accident. Several other Sea Organization or Scientology Staff members were in the car with him. They left him in the car to bleed to death while they went back to the Scientology organization to talk to the people in the in telligence division, because they didn't know what to do. They didn't want to create a public relations flap for Scientology. When they did this, they failed to call for medical help. Brewer literally bled to death pinned in this car.
1981-2 Spheeris, Jimmie death Jimmie Spheeris died in an auto accident on approximately July 4, 1981 or 82. At the time he was on the Philadelphia doctorate course and getting auditing. He was a homosexual and was being given a lot of stress about being a homosexual and being in Scien tology courses.
This somehow may link into the homosexual pressures that Travolta has been put under involving Scientology. It may not. The implication from the contributor is somehow the stress and pressure that Shpeeris was put under was connected to Scientology and hi s death. His sister was director Penelope Shpeeris.
1981 name unknown uncertain Chuck Newton called himself "Detective Chaz Dee" when he'd go snooping. I remember him telling me about a guy who lived near Willows or maybe Marysville, and both he and his dad were OT's.
1981 Maxwell, Robert and ????? cancer Robert Maxwell. Robert & his dad were Flag public. Anyway, xxxxx said that Robert's father developed terminal (I think) cancer, but didn't have to quit auditing because he heard (at Flag? I think so) that you could cure cancer by drinking rocket fuel, and he did, and it cured the cancer, and he kept getting his auditing. I don't know what happened to Robert or his dad after this, which was around 1981, I think.
early 1980's (last name unknown), Hugh suicide A male named Hugh (last name unknown), who was an independent C\S at the advanced organization of Los Angeles (AO), committed suicide.
1980-1 Duchette, Gay suicide In 1980, I received a call from Gay Duchette. She had left the Riverside Scientology Mission. She related to me that she had given all she owned to Scientology. When her money was gone she was persuaded get a loan on her home to continue with Scientology. When she could not repay the loan she lost the house. Her father, who had given her the house or paid the down payment for it, was in a rage. She said several men had kept her in a room trying to make her sign over the house to Scientology. She had due c ause for a suit aganst Scientology. It was in big trouble over loans in Riverside but she was not strong enough to stand up to the pressure of a suit. I gave her what support I could. I wanted to talk to her father but she was against it. I put her in tou ch with another former Scientologist. Gay was unmarried so Duchette is the family name. I think she had a brother named Jim. She came to a CFF meeting in Culver City and may have visited our house. I spoke with her by phone several times. When I called so metime after Sept 81 I was told she had taken her life. Riverside is a long way from Redondo Beach so I cannot research Riverside records for date of death. This is the best data I can provide from memory.
1981 name unknown suicide (Reported by the actual C/S of the person who committed suicide) A female doctor from Flint, Michigan committed suicide. FACTNet's source remembers the person having problems with her boyfriend. "This women is still involved in doing some auditing. I don' t know if she is yet willing to admit the upsetting influence auditing can be and the coercive influence."
1981 Streim, Melvin psychosis I went to junior high and high school (Belmont, MA, Class of 1969) with Melvin Streim. He went to Harvard, and I went on to my life. I saw him again in early 1981 at the Boston Foundation Organization, where he was on staff, probably Estates. He was compl etely spaced and barely remembered me, though we'd shared years of classes ("accelerated" and AP) together, usually sitting just two seats away. He vaguely remembered the name of his best friend (they were best buddies for at least 6 years) when I mention ed it. His second job (moonlighting) was as a bag boy at the Star Market on the Cambridge/Watertown line. He was getting worse and worse in Scientology, forgetting to shave, dressing in dirty clothes, and generally out-of-touch with reality. They off-load ed him around 1983 or 4. I don't know what happened to him. I tried to find his family in Belmont, but they've either died or moved. I didn't work very hard on that, but I've felt badly about him. Mel was always a bit of a misfit in school but he wasn't n uts. When he was off-loaded, he was defimtely schizophrenic, and broke. How does a former Harvard student, end up as a bag boy? Tragic.
1980-82 Hubbard-Horwich, Diana psychosis In 1980-82 1 was corresponding with Diana Hubbard Horwich who was definitely close to the edge in late 1980 and early 1981. I wasn't in great shape, myself. We kept exchanging hopelessly inane letters about the weather. I don't have any positive proof, bu t we had an understanding, a certain undercurrent where we were both severely stressed. I'll bet you can find people with more definite info. I can just say, yes, absolutely, she was having a very difficult time back then.
1980-81 Newton, Chuck psychosis My ex-husband, Chuck Newton, went nuts on audited NOTs. He was not very stable to start with, and he kept "going PTS" by "having problems" at work, problems where he just couldn't stay faithful, etc. He was miserable, and his behavior was just out of cont rol. One night, he beat a litter of newborn puppies to death with a shovel. He felt that his behavior was out of control. We moved, but it didn't seem to help. We sent him to Flag to "get handled." He reached a "flat point" on audited NOTs (meaning: he ra n out of money) and he came home completely bizarre. He sat and watched Cable Network News almost 24 hours a day. [ don't know when he slept ....
1980-81 Karr, Dale psychosis The woman my ex-husband is living with is Marilyn Fox. Her last husband--I'm trying to remember his name--Dale Cart or Karr, I think. Anyway, he was an ethics officer at some mission around LA, and in the mid-1980's. He cracked up one night and kidnapped Marilyn's two children plus the one they'd had together. He took off to another state. I don't know if she ever got the children back again, or what happened. I know that only one child is living with her, and the other two are still young enough to be at home, but they aren't with her. This is fuzzy, but I'm trying to think of everthing in case my pieces fill in the gaps of someone else's memories.
The people who will talk about Dale Karr/Carr are Marilyn's first husband's family, since her first husband was the father of two of the children who were kidnapped. His name is Chuck Peden, his mother is Lorena Peden, and his sister is Jonna or Janna Jon es (Mrs. Steve ? Jones), all of Chico, CA. They don't want to talk with me anymore, due to my connection to Chuck Newton, who Marilyn's living with.
1980 Duchette, Gay vulnerable and bilked Gay Duchette had left the Riverside Scientology Mission. She related to me that she had given all she owned to Scientology. When her money was gone she was persuaded get a loan on her home to continue with Scientology. When she could not repay the loan sh e lost the house. Her father, who had given her the house or paid the down payment for it, was in a rage. She said several men had kept her in a room trying to make her sign over the house to Scientology. She had due cause for a suit aganst Scientology. I t was in big trouble over loans in Riverside, but she was not strong enough to stand up to the pressure of a suit. Gay was unmarried so Duchette is the family name. I think she had a brother named Jim.
1980s name unknown vulnerable and bilked Jean (Mrs. Paul) Discher (then D of P, Boston Day Organization) told some woman from Maine (he hasn't remembered the name yet) that she would die if she didn't buy a certain service.
early 80's Clark, Robert cancer Robert Clark, tech sec fdn. in the Adelaide Cof S, had throat problems. He had been undergoing such treatment as being locked in all night because his stats were not up. He had been coerced into leaving his wife and selling some of their property to send money to Flag. Bob developed the cancer in the Organization before he left. I am in contact with his ex-wife who is a prominent musician recently retired.
early 80's Vigeland, Eric psychosis Eric Vigeland was in Scientology in Boston in the late 1970s and early 1980s. I worked with him on "The Show," a covert Scientology "free concert" at which we distributed Way to Happiness booklets. Eric had been a psych case, I think. He inherited some mo ney, gave it all to the fund to help Mary Sue in the USGO/FBI lawsuit, and got a bunch of auditing as a "reward." He was not a very stable person, and even by Scientology standards, he should have been shown the door. Scientology knew Eric was not stable when they took him in, and it's not rlght to take every cent from someone who is ill-equipped to survive on his own in society. I expect that's why his parents left him the money, so they wouldn't have to worry about his care when they were gone.
1979 Marshall, Joe Lee psychosis In 1979, Joe Lee Marshall went psychotic on NOTS. Many many people back in '79 were going psychotic on NOTS, NED for OTs, and it was being suppressed.
1978-9 Griffin, John suicide John Griffin committed suicide on OT2 in Dallas. He left a suicide note. His wife's name was Avel Griffin.
1978-9 name unknown suicide The man who was in charge of Op-Z for the Portland Organization jumped to his death from the Freemont bridge in Portland. Specific details are unknown.
1978 Brown, Leila Laten suicide Leila Laten Brown, or Lila Leighton, (26 years old at the time) jumped from an apartment building several blocks from the San Francisco Scientology Organization. She had been receiving ervices there. Before commiting suicide, she went to the home of anoth er Scientologist (FACTNet's source doesn't know the name). Her boyfriend at the time was a Doug Arth, who was also a Scientologist.
late '70s name unknown suicide A guy committed suicide in Royal Oak, Michigan.
late 1970s Gervais, Gloria psychosis Gloria Gervais (spelling?) was found wandering down the middle of Beacon Street (major, heavy-traffic street in Back Bay Boston, where the Organization is) while on auditing·
late 1970's McDonough, Jack psychosis Also there was Jack McDonough (again, spelling?) who was another person seeing space invaders all around, and that's while he was the Academy Sup, Boston Day Organization.
late 70's name unknown psychosis While I was at St. Hill an unknown woman was secretly escorted home to Germany because she had become mentally ill on the OT levels· I was told by a friend who was on staff. I don't remember which one though.
1977-1982 Mayer, Scott neglect According to Mayer: "Staff members were always ill-fed, ill-clothed .... I had an abscess in my tooth and I was being audited for it. I'm ready to go to the dentist, and I was being audited for it. I spent about a week, week-and-a-half, doing... what t hey call touch assists to get rid of the pain.. And, finally... I was just delirious and--well, there wasn't any money for medical is what it boiled down to .... I went to the dentist... he told me I'd just made it... if it had been another day or so, I w ouldn't be here to talk to you."
1977 Hubbard, Quentin alleged murder xxxxx is a former member of the intelligence division (B I) of Scientology. Spanky says Kennedy saw the Quentin Hubbard files. From what he saw in the files he believed that L. Ron Hubbard ordered the death of Quentin Hubbard once he reached the hospital, and was alive, after his suicide attempt. The reason he thought Hubbard had his son murdered (reading the reports from the people in Los Vegas) even though they were vetted he saw what he firmly believed was an operation to end the embarrassment of Quent in Hubbard.
1977 Hubbard, Quentin alleged murder This also parallels with another report we got where xxxxx said that Quentin Hubbard was going around the Land base telling everyone his father was insane.

1977 Hubbard, Quentin alleged murder Another BI GO person who was OT on the Los Vegas Quentin Mission believed this same situation: that Hubbard's son was taken off life support or something like that.
1977 Hubbard, Quentin alleged murder Vaughn Young believes Quentin Hubbard was dead on arrival at the hospital. [So there is some conflict about what happened. Vaughn has looked over these reports. Quentin Hubbard lived but allegedly was murdered in his hosp room by Scientology members]
1977 Hubbard, Quentin alleged murder Quentin's girlfriend before his death (abt. 1976) was Sue Berstein, a CCLA Div. 6 reg. (If Quentin was gay, then he was bi-sexual or Sue was a shore story. But she was definitely in love back then, and I remember Q sending her flowers.) We used to jokingl y say her name so it sounded like "Super Steen" so I don't know if I have the spelling right. But Quentin seemed to fail at everything. He just loved airplanes, period. He was secretly taking drawing lessons from Larry Gluck at the beach at Flag, so no on e would know if he failed. Also, his former bodyguard (Scandinavian name ·.. I don't remember right now) said that it definitely was not a suicide. I have my own way of piecing together the story, and I agree that it might not have been suicide. But I don 't have anything vaguely resembling hard evidence.
1977 Hubbard, Quentin suicide or murder I was told by a source very close to the family that he was found naked in the car and that it "was not murder." I confirm the report of earlier suicide attempts while in the SO. He was put in isolation for several weeks after his 1974 suicide attempt to "destimulate" and eventually then put on the RPF.

1977 Hubbard, Quentin suicide or murder Bruce Raymound was the B 1 guy who did the dirty work on the Quentin Hubbard death situation in Las Vegas. He is the guy who would know for sure and who would have been most involved in the dirtiest part of the coverup or the actual murder.
1976 Fenton, Becky inducement to suicide In the Boston Organization around 1976, Becky Fenton (Mrs. Bill Fenton, Jr.) was told that since she refused to have an abortion (so her husband could use the obstetrician/childbirth money for services instead) then she ought to go kill herself and "get i t over with." Becky is probably still upset about being told to commit suicide. Becky lives around Brewer or Bar Harbor, Maine. I can probably locate her, if it's of any help. She has never done any major services, but her husband keeps wandering in and o ut of Scientology. His parents are Scienos.
1976 King, Noel psychosis Noel King went over the edge on OT3. He gave up an enormously successful career at a resort in the Bahamas, and moved to LA to be a full-time Scientologist. He was treated like a god, since he still had lots of money from the sale of his assets. Noel stop ped being able to sleep properly while on OT3. I went for a walk with him in the middle of the night, down to Hollywood Blvd. He told me that he kept seeing himself being pulled into some sort of force field, and then back out of it, and he couldn't stop these pictures from flashing, and he couldn't sleep properly. This was around 1976. He also thought he'd been Jesus Christ and Napoleon, in previous lives. I don't know what happened to Noel. I saw photos of him in early Flag promo showing the diningroom , but when I asked about him in 1988, no one at Flag seemed to recognize his name.
1976 name unknown threatened suicide I remember that one of my C1 IV intem auditors at CCLA was graduated solely because he successfully talked one of his pc's in from a ledge on the building. At some point mid-session, she had gone nuts and decided to kill herself. I don't recall my auditor 's name; I had him for just a couple of sessions, and they graduated him & he was gone. (Did they get him out of there to hush the tale?)
1976 xxxxx psychosis I went nuts on Power and Power Plus./Right over the edge. I thought I was moving through space, and that I didn't have my "new ability" under control. I'd be driving down the Hollywood Freeway, and I'd find myself in downtown LA, with no idea how I got th ere. Then I started itching all over, under my skin, like an allergy. My nerves were shot. I was the Acting ED of Larry Gluck's school, while he was at Flag, and I was rapidly losing my hold on reality. I went to ASHO to tell them that I was PTS or someth ing. They put me in session, told me I was a "completion," and routed me out. No Reg cycle, nothing. I could barely scrawl the success story. I was in a daze. I quit Larry's school a couple of days later, and went back to Northem California, where it took me months to be able to function normally again.
1976 name unknown psychosis There's a guy in LA... he's well-known among "old timers" because he sits in Bob's Big Boy restaurants, writing pages & pages of reports to Scientology about space invaders & such. In 1976, I was introduced to him by Gary Rist, at the Big Boy in Glendale( ?) and he was quite mad. He'd supposedly gone nuts on OT3.
1975-6 Rist, Gary psychosis I remember Gary Rist, a staff member at CCLA, had a breakdown. He had a major crush on me and kept going on drinking binges; HCO asked me to keep an eye on him. I went with him to visit his father one weekend, up at Bear Lake where his father owns a motel or something. Anyway, Gary got drunk and was physically abusive. I had a terrible time getting him back to LA, but I got him there, took him to SEA Organization berthing, and dropped him there. Regardless of HCO orders, I wasn't taking physical abuse. I don't know what happened to him. HCO never said anything about him again, and I never saw him at CCLA. The Disney Alumm Club might have a current address for him. Scientology - and his untreated alcoholism - ruined what had been a promising acting career.
1975-6 name unknown suicide A married man with money from the East Coast (PA or NY) shot himself to death after auditing OT levels.
1975-- Wilson (Kaup), Shirley various Shirley Wilson, ex-wife of David J. Kaup reports suicide attempt (1977), disruption of family (1978), and denial of needed orthodonic treatment to her daughter (1982).
mid 70s Gerrold, Bobby cancer Bobby Gerrold (spelling?), a good friend, died of cancer. I'm not certain when, but it was probably in the mid-to-late 1970's. He was at least OT3. Near as I can tell from accounts, he postponed medical treatment, kept getting auditing, and when he was ob viously dying, they told him he couldn't get anymore auditing. By then he was bankrupted by the auditing, and it was too late for medical intervention anyway. Bobby was originally from Texas, I think. I knew him at Alan Walter's Salt Lake City mission.
mid-70sname unknown psychosis Some pc was crawling across the floor at reception in mid-1970s CCLA, making weird whimpering noises. Yvonne apparently saw the woman on the floor and cheerfully said, "Oh, that's just (name)." This was an enduring anecdote at CCLA, showing how "big a bei ng" Yvonne was, and how tolerant CC was of "eccentricities."
1974 Dardano, Robert psychosis "I became a member of the Church of Scientology in 1974. In March of 1974 I was routed off the Church of Scientology staff for being PTS Type 3. PTS Type 3 is a Scientology term which classifies persons to be insane if they are anti-Scientology.
1974 names unknown murder At what was known as Old AOLA Organization on Brendo Street, two advanced orgamzation staff members were found murdered in the trash bin behind the building.
1973 Anderson, Kirk psychosis I was not at the mission the day (between July and October 1973) Kirk Anderson came in with a shotgun and threatened the SLC mission staff because we were alienating him from his new-Scio wife, Yolanda. However, I was there the rest of the time when Kirk and Yolanda first came in, through when Yolanda lef~ for the SO. Yolanda is the same person mentioned in "the informer," who's child was a victim of terrible Scientology childcare and I have her mailing address somewhere. Kirk was the ED of the Salt Lake mission for years, and I suspect he's still on staff there.
1973 Dalton, Jim psychosis Jim Dalton supposedly had drug flashbacks from going too quickly onto the mucusless diet in 1973. He was a Scio in Salt Lake City and Geri Knight (ED) told him that the mucusless diet was what he needed. I answered the phone at the mission a couple of tim es when he was talking about the visions he was having .... The mother of his son, Martha Tatum (new last name?), is an exec in Denver .... Others who knew that he'd gone nuts and he was on orders not to come into the mission: Dick Cook (course sup), Geri Knight (gd), Frances Godwin (D of P), Chuck Newton (course sup/auditor), Jay Gibson (auditor), Dave West (auditor), Hazel Dominguez West (auditor, course sup), Joe Duncanson (estates), Lindy Duncanson (public), Charlotte Sandoval (public), and others who se names I've forgotten. Hazel is still in Scientology and is a cab driver in Salt Lake City, and I've already mentioned Frances and Chuck. Joe & Lindy Duncanson are FSMs in Colorado.
1973 Surry, Steve psychosis Steve Surry (spelling?) kept having psychotic breaks, while he was the ED of Alan Walter's Salt Lake City mission. He'd be screaming his lungs out during sessions, begging for someone, anyone to help him. His auditor, Geri Knight, swore that he was just r unning out dramatizations, as if this was really good for him. I think Steve is still happily in Scientology.
1970's Robertson, Bill psychosis "Capt. Bill" (LA Organization and AOLA, t970's) is on your list. Surely he had a family somewhere who watched him go insane in Scientology. In the research of this rundown on Flag, Captain Bill Robertson had numerous psychotic breaks.
early 70's name unknown criminal acts In the early 70s, an older gentleman, a staff member either at the Mission or the Scientology Organization had a heart attack while he was in the building. The staff members were afraid that it would reflect badly on Scientology so they took his body out of the organization where he died, stripped him naked, stripped him of his ID, (she wasn't quite certain if they stripped him naked but is sure they took his ID) and put the dead body in a trash dumpster several blocks away.
1972 Gutmann, Mike suicide A set of twins were involved in Scientology and one of the twin brothers, Mike Gutmann, committed suicide.

1970s Klein, Keith suicide A Keith Kline or Klein from the Detroit area killed himself by gunshot in the middle 1970s. He had done 'processing' and 'training' there and some courses in L.A. FACT's source remembers a Keith Kline or Klein who was a staff member, class IV auditor, and course supervisor on the ASHO briefing course who committed suicide. Keith's father committed suicide and he became very depressed over this. Keith got auditing at ASHO for this depression and suddenly left and went to Detroit where his family saw how de pressed he was and possibly put him in a mental hospital. Then he came out and committed suicide.
The question surrounding this individual is that the auditing that he had may have aggravated his suicidal tendencies when he was already depressed about his father's suicide. The Guardian's Office was notified by Ron Neuman that he believed his friend wa s in trouble and suicidal. Ron notified the police.
????? Kline, Keith suicide Keith Kline, a person from Detroit who had money, worked for Ron Neuman. He was on OT 3 when he committed suicide.
early 1970's Schaeffer, Paul suicide FACT's source knew of the suicide of a friend of a friend who had just left the group. His name was Paul Schaeffer. At the time, I was told that he got "messed up" because he left the group.
1971 Meister, Susan suicide or murder Susan Meister had a very intense argument with Hubbard before she committed suicide in public on the decks of the Apollo. FACT's source was standing on deck on watch at the time and saw it all occur.An article in the LA Times, Tuesday August 29, 1978, "Sc ientology Mystery" talks about the Miester suicide. Arti Marren is reported to have been involved in the coverup of Susan Meister's death.
1970-71 Burner, Charles inducement to suicide xxxxx, a former high-level Scientology exective, was ordered by Hubbard to reverse audit enemies of Scientology if there was opportunity to do so. The purpose was to induce psychosis or suicide. He was actually sent on a mission to capture Charles Burner, a former high level Scientology auditor who had started a group called the Abilitism.

1970-71 Pruitt, Wayne suicide Wayne Pruitt (Pruett) from Missouri ????? jumped from the Elks Bldg in Hollywood or the McArthur Park area around 1970-71. The building may not be there now. He was receiving Scientology service at the time; he is believed to have been on the upper OT lev els.
1969 Sharp, James and Gaul, Doreen CORRECTION This is a suggestion to drop this from the original mailing. Doreen Gaul and James Sharp. I think you're on very thin ice here. From all evidence, they were victims of some LA satanic cult. They were found naked, circa 1969, with their eyes gouged out. Ja mes was an incredibly sweet kid from the midwest whose father, Don Sharp, also a very nice man, was in LA doing advanced courses. I'm unaware of anything linking Scientology personnel actions in any way to this tragedy.
1969 Esterman (Chaleff), Sally cancer She did have a positive pap smear in 1969 which then reversed after auditing. This may have given her false confidence in auditing as THE solution. I know that her sister believes she could have been saved with proper medical care but I believe she's unde r the impression that Sally herself rejected this. Months before her death she was in Mexico in an "alternative" clinic. An SEA Organization recruit had been assigned to assist her. Incredibly, [her son] was never informed of any of this. When he found ou t, she kept giving him the impression she was getting better, so her own denial was very high. I would appreciate any information you may have that she was actually denied proper care.
????? Challeff, Sally cancer Sally Challeff, a Scientology staff member, was allowed to die of treatable cancer.
Circa 1969 name unknown attempted suicide A person on OT levels jumped from the 10th floor of a building in LA, landed on a car, and incredibly only broke his arm. I believe his name was Mike, but I don't recall last name.
1968 Stewart, James suicide James Stewart. At the time, Sea Organization penalties were: Liability, 24 hours sleep deprivation; Doubt, 48 hours sleep deprivation. The two penalties were cumulative. Stewart was in at the Advanced Organization in Edinburgh, Scotland. He had injured hi mself and was assigned Doubt. In my estimation, the sleep deprivation drove him over the edge. As reported in the mailing of Jan. 3, 1994, Stewart jumped to his death in Edinburgh Scotland. He was on OT#, a class 7 auditor, and the Executive Director of t he Durban Organization.
1966-67 Nieman, Malcolm negligence Malcolm Nieman (lives in London) had a close brush with death. He contracted meningitis, and was audited for many hours, getting worse by the moment. My husband and I found him unconscious on the floor (that evening) with severe diarrhoea and vomiting. We got an ambulance to rush him to hospital. On the way to hospital the ambulance driver indicated to me that Malcolm was going to die. He didn't, but it was touch and go for a while.
1960 Halprm, Dick suicide Dick Halprm committed suicide in the early 60's. He was the author of The Whole Track Security Check.
Part Two: ALPHABETICAL LISTINGS (NO DATE)

????? Atherton, Warren negligence Warren Atherton, an ex-Scientology member in Detroit who died, is said to have died because of not taking medication for a medical condition.
'????? Axel, John assult xxxxx told xxxxx about the beating of John Axel. There is a backup report about this beating in the minutes of the San Francisco Mission Holders meeting -- where Scientology was actually dumb enough print up this incident and distribute it. Apparently, Jo hn Axel was also beaten by, I believe, David Miscavige or other high level Scientology executives.
????? Balentine, Brad psychosis Brad Balentine, a member of the guardian office, one of the GO/OSA Intelligence Operatives, became psychotic.
????? Bamey, Carl psychosis Carl Barney went psychotic on the Apollo and was guarded by three other people on the ship. Carl Barney had been made to sit for months doing "blinkless TRs." One of the periodic extremes Hubbard took no responsibility for. I heard that at one point he wa s strapped to his chair.
????? Bear, Debbie child abuse Miscarried while working on the RPF. Actually had the miscarriage while digging a ditch and started bleeding. She ran to the head RPF guard and told him she had to go to the hospital. The guard told her to go back to the ditch and keep digging. And she mi scarried right there in the ditch.
????? Box, Theo & daughter Jenny child abuse While I was an auditor in the organization the daughter ofa scientologist was brought to my house to have somewhere for constant care as she had become mentally ill and was being protected from the medical profession and from her mother who was a nonscien tologist. The GO was involved. There was to be a roster of people to be with her but it didn't eventuate. Her father was here much of the time and at other times she was left with me. She wandered off when I was alone with her and ended up in a hospital. In her "condition" she talked of her personal relationship to LRH and a whole scenario of past and future events around this theme. She was being audited. The father is OT7or8 and still in the Orgamzation, I think. His name is Theo Box. His daughter was J enny.

????? Broeker, Annie psychosis xxxxx CSed Annie Broker when she had a psychotic break in auditing. When last this staff member saw Annie Broeker she was being audited quite a bit.

????? Charlton, Pam child abuse Pam Charlton had a baby that died while she was in the Sea Organization
????? Casissu, Maude (a new suicide) suicide
????? Colletto, John and Diane murder/suicide John Colletto and Diane Colletto. As it was told to me, John had threatened Diane and she had been assigned someone to escort her for her safety. John got to her anyway, forced her into a car, drove somewhere, shot her, then cut his wrists. Your version m ay be more accurate. This was a truly great tragedy as Diane was brilliant and wonderful. I believe, however, that John was not in the SO when this happened. He had been declared a couple of times previously by SO missions, and I believe he was still out of the organization, though I'm not sure.
????? Confliti, Luigi negligence Luigi ? Confliti he didn't speak much English but he was denied medical treatment by Scientology when he really needed it.
????? Crichton, Alan vulnerable and bilked Alan Crichton lives in Maine and New York City. He's a former institutionalized mental patient who inherited a lot of money. It's managed by a trust fund so he can't go through it too quickly. Nevertheless, he wanders in and out of being extremely unhappy with Scientology. He's had his OT levels delivered by an auditor, since he isn't allowed to see the confidential stuff. He's a brilliant artist who fights depression, and he's not getting the care he needs in Scientology. His wife, Loma, is practically r abidly in favor of Scientology, and actively takes services. They give lots & lots of his money to Scientology...
???? Cruise, Tom psychosis Tom Cruise (the actor) became psychotic during auditing. Cruise was on OT3 and Scientology had to bring him back to the Tbase because he looked so bad.

????? DuBraun, Jeff assault Jeff DuBraun, the former AGPR, was apparently paid a substantial amount of money. He didn't name it. But I got the impression that we talking between $50,000 and $250,000 by the GO to remain silent. Apparently, Jeff broke his silence and was beaten up by someone whom he attributes to Scientology. So Jeff is being real tight lipped now.
???? Eichron, Manfred attempted suicide Manfred Eichron was baby watched and attempted suicide.
????? Emery, Randy OT levels; brain tumor Randy Emery ( Staff at Sterling Management ) died of a brain tumor. He was on the OT levels ? and a class IV staff auditor.

????? Fairchild, Fred psychosis From the Detroit Orgamzation, Fred Fairchild who was the ED on and off again in the late 60's early 70's had some real rough times mentally, psychotic or not I do not know. I remember hearing tons of rumor line of extreme alcohol and drug abuse after leav ing staff, and he was Clear and possibly OT 3.
????? Field, Bud murder A Florida boat broker Bud Fields' home was infiltrated by Bonme Mott, whose real name is Yvonne Shirley Mott. Her post was the Authorization & Verification Officer for the Commador Messenger Orgamzation (CMO).
Bonnie Mott infiltrated the Bud and Leigh or Lee Fields' home as a govemess.

????? xxxxx child abuse There is a study on miscarriages and birth deformities among female Scientology staff members, particularly in the Sea Orgamzation of Scientology. This was done because even internally they were alarmed at the number of babies being born deformed, with ex tremely low birth weight, and with a lot of difficulties.
????? Gallop, Siama cancer At St. Hill, Peter Gallop's wife, Siama (spelling may be incorrect), developed cancer. Peter was away on a mission of some kind (they were both in the Sea Organization). She trudged through the snow on her own getting medical help. She had paid for OT lev els and NOTS. How much she had done is unknown. She hadn't had NOTS. She didn't recieve any auditing help in her illness or in her dying. Evidently she hung on to the body way past the time of leaving, because she was afraid of not knowing how to leave un der the influence of drugs.
???? Garrison, Chris psychosis Chris Garrison is another person who had a complete character transformation at one point in Scientology, where they "broke" his spirit. I don't know if he went over the edge, or what. Chris is still in Scientology after a failed deprogramming attempt by his family.
???? Geary, Dorothy psychosis Dorothy Geary became psychotic in San Francisco.
????? Geary, Dorothy psychotic Another report says Dorothy Geary was in her 20s and places her in Hemet.
???? Godwin, Frances psychosis Frances Godwin (who was briefly married to Bobby Gerrold, the guy who died of cancer) went nuts on the ship, during the researching of XDn. By her own account, she sat in her bathroom for weeks and her parents couldn't get her to come out. Alan Walter is the one who went to her home and talked her out of the bathroom.

She was energetic, competent and very, knowledgable. She returned from St. Hill after being sent home while still on OT 2. She appeare d to be completely disoriented and irrational. "She" was missing. The condition calmed and she is living quietly but according to her husband, Ray, the real person is "still not there."
???? Hartwell, Adell neglect Adell Hartwell was promised by recruiters to be given special auditing and proper medical care for her illness. No treatment was given, and her condition was growing progressively worse. One day I worked without eating. It was 102 degrees in the shade: By five-thirty I just got deathly ill, and I told them I had to leave. And I staggered quite a ways .... I fell in the ditch; it was like I was drunk. Another time I complained I had to go home because I wasn't being treated. I was thin and bleeding and in quite severe pain, and they took me right in and put me on the Meter. The next night they had us scrubbing the barn; we started at six o'clock and we scrubbed that barn until four o'clock in the moming. Anybody that ran a fever was immediately put out of commission. But anybody that was ill and not runrang a fever, they were made fun of and ridiculed.
????? Hautek, Sheila Marsh CORRECTION cancer Sheila Marsh Hautek was involved in a credit card scam and also was allegedly coerced into buying auditing when she had cancer cycsts. Apparently what is called the "Hubbard Executive Secretary" ran up her credit card bills to keep getting more auditing w hile they knew she had cancer. She died during auditing. SHE MAY HAVE DIED. THIS IS NOT KNOWN.
????? Jentzsch, Yvonne cancer I was at CC when Yvonne GillJam was running it. Heber was hanging around... a folk singer. I heard that Hubbard and Sci wouldn't spend a dime on medical care for her and tried to audit out her cancer and then told her that it would take to much auditing a nd that it would be easier for her to just leave her body.
???? Kaplan, Murray Don psychosis Murray Don Kaplan is a SO member who was deprived of sleep for 72 hours in Edinburgh. He was on OT III and had a psychotic break and was put on "baby watch." It's my evaluation that the sleep deprivation drove him over the edge.
????? Kapuler, Cheryl OT levels Cheryl Kapuler completed OT8, came back, and almost lost her house. Then she broke her ankle one week later. Last yr her husband Allan died (1993).
????? Kapuler, Virgima cancer You might add to your list Virgima Kopuler or Capular who had cancer soon after leaving the ship. As her condition became acute, she went to Mexico to get some help from a Phillipino faith healer and while he indicated she had let it get too far, he did s ome work on people on NOTS in AOLA lives and many of them flocked down. The A/G AOLA was in the process of declaring them, and was reported to have made the remark "she (Virginia) would be better dead than get such healing. We got a by-pass of her from th e LRH Comm on the ship so the declare never got done or was soon suspended.
????? Kretz, Wendy cancer Wendy Kretz or Krentz lived in the Los Angeles area. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and chose not to receive chemotherapy, but Scientology auditing instead. Needless to say, the cancer killed her and lef~ her husband with three small children.

????? Magerowski, Jann Borowski psychosis Jann Borowski Magerowski, NOTs, still on staff at Bsn Orgamzation-Day, has been seeing leprechauns in her apartment for years. She also talks about spaceships like they're an everyday occurrence. Well, I've seen LIFOs, too, but she's talking in entirely d ifferent, off-the-wall terms. She seems the most stable person in the world when you meet her socially, even on a daily basis. Once she feels that she can trust you, then she starts telling these completely wild tales, in all seriousness. I think she's mu ltiple personality; the two personalities I've seen were immensely likeable, but the one who sees leprechauns is a little scary, nevertheless.
????? Many, Nancy child abuse xxxxx mentioned Nancy Many, who also while on the RPF (which is like the Scientology gulag) gave birth to a baby with respiratory problems.
????? McKee, (first name unknown) cancer Brown McKee's (spelling?) wife died after trying to treat cancer with NOTs auditing, and waiting too long for adequate medical care.

???? Miscavige, Ron (David Miscavige's father) depression Ron Miscaviage, OT7, married to Loretta Miscavige (an auditor and nurse), suffers deep depression from behind closed doors. He seems happy and jovial in the ideal Scientol ogy character, but he suffers quite a bit from depression.
????? Morris, Debby cancer Debby Morris breast cancer on OT VII - class IV auditor
'????? Myersdorf, Sandra cancer GO member died of cancer in her 40's. Medical neglect of staff member suspected.
????? Newton, Chuck vulnerable and bilked Chuck Newton gave nearly all his money to Scientology, even traded his Jaguar XKE to Alan Walter, and Alan used the mission's commission slips to let Chuck get auditing in LA. We were convinced by Richard Stewart (the great financial expert .... HA!) and by ASHO, AOLA, and Flag, to embezzle farm income and give it to Flag for services. No, they didn't use the word "embezzle." They said, "Take control of your money," and "manage your flows." We nearly ended up in major trouble for that, once the money was gone and we discovered that we'd done something illegal. I don't recall the names of any of the regs involved. It was only about $17,000, but we had a very difficult time setting things right once we realized the illegality... we'd already given everythin g else to Scientology.
???? Payton, Vicki threatened suicide Vicki Payton or Fayton - told me she was considering dropping her body after the Key to Life Course. She is OT V and ex-Sea Orgamzation. She was "given a wrong indication" in a Flag Ethics cycle. AOLA audited her for a year after her husband wrote up a co mplaint and sent it up lines. She divorced her husband and left her job after Key to Life.
????? Pinion, Spanky child abuse Spanky Pinion specifically mentioned that while she was on the RPF, she had a three pound baby. She had it rushed to the hospital. The medical officer said to tell the hospital that she was indigent so that Scientology wouldn't have to pay the bill. It wa s a medi-care fraud issue.
Spanky believes the reasons for the study on miscarriages, also mentioned earlieer in this list, was done because Scientology would not spend any money on pre-natal care and was working staff day and night, not feeding them, and putting them under such ex treme stress. And that was why they were having so many problems with staff members babies.
????? Price, Ellen cancer Ellen Price - Meagan Shields thought she had very suspicious breast condition Ellen was in aco-audit for FPRD - class VI, ex - staff auditor, OT IV. I am very (the word very was underlined a couple of times) concerned about Ellen. She didn't want to check out the condition with a mammogram and was trying cleanses to deal with it.
80's Riddel, Betty child abuse & purification rundown Betty Riddel is still a loyal Scientologist in the Organization. In the early 80's (dating is not reliable) she went to Flag. She had promised her son some of her time for a long time. She asked him to go to the US and they would have a holiday. When he a rrived he had been enroled in a course with money borrowed in his name. At some time after finding this out he left and came home. He was worried about debt and felt betrayed. He went "mad" and began beating his father and screaming at him to read dianeti cs etc. His father was and is retired due to illness and maintains the family home. He couldn't be handled at home in his violence and was put in a mental hospital, let out drugged and has had return visits to the hospital as an inmate. Their young daught er also despairing of attention and of constant breaking of agreements to outings and time together when in early teens began taking drugs and became a heroin addict. She was brought to me for a day when 'at her best' by a freind. She put all the light gl obes on the roof and without undies did handstands in front of guests. She was in the habit of running naked in the streets and stealing alcohol, etc., etc. She told me she had begun to eat her bedroom and when calm talked as a very young child walking ar ound the house crooning to a teddy bear. Before the drugs she had the condition of being unable to eat (I have forgotten the label) At school she had excelled. Both young people had been constantly pushed to do courses or to have auditing. I don't know wh at they had had apart from the Purification Rundown
????? Roberts, John Purification Rundown - injury John Roberts became comatose and died while on the purification rundown at East Grinsted.
????? Rubineck, Brian death xxxxx reported that a Brian Rubineck died. He was a former guardian office member.
????? Sams, Jan child abuse Jan Sams from Dallas had a deformed baby while in the Sea Organization.
????? Seffers, Van Purification Rundown - death Van Seffers died on the purification rundown. This is a new report since the Jan. 3 mailing that reported Van died at Flag or on his return to Europe.
????? Schafner, Bob suicide or accident The guy that was run over by a truck while riding his bicycle, who FACT's contributor thought was a suicide on OT3, was Bob Schafner.
????? Smith, Homer psychosis Homer Smith states that he became psychotic on the solo OT levels, but he said he was auditing these on his own as a renegade, outside of Scientology. This could point again to the danger of using these materials when people are in trance state and it is suggested to them that they are "more than one person."
????? Smith, Rita Crane, Steven suicide Rita Smith and Steven Craine (or Crane) are reported to have committed suicide at East Grinstead.
????? Solari, Cam OT levels; cancer Cam Solari, a Class VI auditor, died of breast cancer while on OT VII.
????? Stouffer, Mary cancer GO member died of cancer in her 40's. Mary Stouffer was the assistant guardian in the Sacramento Organization. Staff medical negligence suspected.
????? Vigeland, Eric vulnerable and bilked Every cent of his inheritance to Scientology. He should never have left psychiatric care.
????? Vilinsky, Phil Phil Vilinsky who died at the La Quinta in Florida. Actually during auditing, the auditor didn't know what to do. Apparently, Scientology, failed to relate exactly how he died to the family; they created some sort of shore story. But, he was on the purifi cation rundown when this happened. xxxxx is aware of this situation, and it is believed that xxxxx is aware of a lot more deaths and situations like this. In the Jan 3 mailing, Phil Valinski (#34) died during auditing at La Quinta in California.
????? Voorhies, Dave psychosis Janna Moreillan who is in Seattle and a class 8 auditor since the 50s, is somehow connected to Dave Voorhies. He previously lived in Seattle, Washington and was drugged with Thorazine and told it was vitamins when he was going psychotic on OT 3.
???? Wakefield, Margery psychosis &neglect I tried to do this for many years: I sat in my room, and did everything as I had been trained to do. What I actually believed I was doing was talking to these "demons" and convincing them to go away.
When doing this auditing I experienced a number of really weird things. I started getting incredible headaches. In addition, I started to have terrible nightmares, and I would wake up in the middle of the night just sweating and shaking with terror. I was getting sicker by the day. I had to call up my doctor, who was himself on 0T 3 at the time, because I was getting so sick. I really thought I was going to die.
I finally begged for some help. I was sent in to see a man called the Director of Processing. He told me I needed an even higher level of auditing than OT 3 to cure my problem. This was called New Era Dianetics for 0T's (NED for 0T's for short). Their pla n worked fairly well. For the first few weeks at~er I arrived in Madison, I was totally psychotic. I was in terrible mental pain for weeks. I fully believed that, not having completed NED for OT's successfully, I would probably die or be taken over by the demons. I felt like I was, literally, fighting for my mind. I went through unendurable and indescribable agonies. I was in a complete state of shock. I could not deal with what had happened to me. My mind just wouldn't function at all. I couldn't underst and anything that was written for a period of time. When I would listen to the television or radio, I would hear the words, but it was as if it were a foreign language. Conceptually, my mind would not interpret the sounds.
???? Wright, Alan uncertain There are two Alan Wrights. One is very well and successful as a Ron's Organization teacher. The other one signed papers, and his house was taken from hun. All his money was sitting with a meter and all available materials that had been sold to him and he said, as I remember, that he couldn't have the services he'd paid for as he was an illegal PC. Some of the materials and the meter were brought to me to care for. xxxxx was concerned at the conditions that he was living in and the fact that he appeared s uicidal.

Part Four: NAMES UNKNOWN
????? (last name unknown), Joe negligence A guy died at Royal Oak, Michigan from a medical condition while receiving auditing. Death subject's name was Joe (?) and that he lived in Pontiac, Michigan and went to Royal Oak Scientology center for his services.
????? (last name unknown), Mark suicide Mark was a member of the Key Out Players and an HQS course supervisor at Celebrity Center who killed himself.
????? (last name unknown), Michaela suicide A girl named Michaela (in her 30's) committed suicide a few years ago. Her dad was actor Denms Patrick. She did colonics. She lived in Los Feliz. She dabbled in Scientology and had lots of Scientology clients.
????? name unknown suicide A French industrialist jumped to his death while receiving Scientology auditing. He was quite wealthy.
????? xxxxx inducement to suicide FACT's source refers to a person who was induced to commit suicide. She had attempted suicide four times. She had some sort of auditing about Jesus incidents which helped forward her suicide. Apparently she was sent a hand-written letter from a Scientolog y case worker named Sue MacDonald which implied that she should commit suicide.
????? name unknown suicide A girl or women in Dearborn, Michigan became suicidal during auditing. Scientology stopped auditing her and made her sign a waiver and made her use her credit cards to buy a whole bunch more auditing and run up all kinds of bills on the credit cards.
????? name unknown suicide or murder A women said her cousin was pushed off a building by Scientologist many years ago and that she is afraid to say anything more about it. Apparently Scientology found out she was going to file a lawsuit and sent in a plant to subvert the lawsuit.
????? name unknown Purification Rundown - death A gentleman in Washington state died on the purification rundown.
????? name unknown criminal acts A person, name unknown, drowned in a bathtub at Flag. The GO/OSA apparently went to the guy's room and sanitized it in the sense of removing anything that would incriminate Scientology before the police arrived to do their investigation. They created a sh ore story that he fell down in the bathtub, and that's how he died (FACTNet's contributor was there at the time). There was a tremendous hush hush about anything having to do with this guys death. The implication from FACTNet's contributor is that the sam tized room stopped any meaningful investigation by local police.
????? name unknown criminal acts The person we mentioned in our first questionnaire who drowned in the bathtub at the Flag Land Base was actually from Germany, so that is an additional piece of information.
????? name unknown airplane crash I was told that the First Officer of the Air Florida 737 that crashed in the river in Washington, DC was on OT III. There was a mission sent to hush up the fact that he was a Scientologist.
????? name unknown suicide FACTNet's source lived with a young man for approximately a week, in LA, in the '72 time frame. They were taking Scientology courses. He was in his 20's, about 5' 8" tall with dark hair and eyes. The source later saw him at Flag, Clearwater, FL in '76 or '77. The source heard later from theED of Detroit Organization. Patty ? (last name unknown) that he was receiving auditing in Detroit, but he had badly stalled and was in a lot of trouble. He was sent to Flag to get cleaned up; he was seriously overrun. W hen I saw him at Flag, he was under constant care and looking at rocks. He was sent home 3 weeks later to Detroit. A couple of months later, he hung himself from a rafter in his garage. His best friend was on staff, and his name was Mark. Pattie, the ex E D would know them. He might be from the Flint, Michigan area.
Corrections CORRECTION: January mailing #50: Doreen Gaul and James Sharp. Further information suggests tht these deaths were "random Los Angeles violence" having nothing to do with Scientology.
CORRECTION: January mailing #61: the correct date of Steven Fishman 's arrest is 1988, not 1986.
CORRECTION: "EOC" auditing refers to "END OF CYCLE" (that is, suicide) -- not "end of case."
CORRECTION: In the list of names of persons FACTNet would like to contact, the name "Jay Grossman" should have been GROSFELD.
CLARIFICATION: In the January mailing's introductory paragraphs, to save words, we referred to Califomia's Restatement of Agency, Section 395(f) as a "law." In fact it is a legal principle used in defense, not law.
CLARIFICATION: "Psychosis" as used in this document is not a medical term. "Psychosis" is used in the common Scientology jargon sense meaning serious and obviously irrational conduct, sometimes violent, and possibly occurring in abrupt and identifiable episodes. The jargon term for a sudden episode is "psychotic break."
Other corrections are in the alphabetical or date listings where appropriate.
NOTE
Only by assembling all of our personal recollections concerning the individuals and circumstances mentioned herein will it be possible to pierce any possible Scientology coverups and prevent possible future calamaties. It is a miracle in many ways that the reports mentioned in this questionnaire have squeezed through the cracks of Scientology's secrecy structure, intelligence agency procedures, and practice of destroying incriminating documents.
If you are a current or former Scientologist or work with or know current or former members, please review the following reports If you recognize any of the names or have any other information please assist us immediately. Send your information (even in preliminary form) to:
