Where is Scientology’s David Miscavige? Opposing lawyers want to know

TL;DR

Security guards, the court filings state, refused to accept documents from the process servers, declined to answer questions and said they did not know where Miscavige lived or worked despite him being the ecclesiastical leader of the organization.Valeska Paris and husband and wife Gawain and Laura Baxter, who filed the complaint in April, left the church’s military-style workforce called the Sea Org in 2009 and 2012, respectively.Like all members of the Sea Org, Miscavige, 62, has lived and worked exclusively in Scientology-owned buildings since he was 16, according to a declaration filed by Mike Rinder, a former church executive who reported to Miscavige until Rinder defected in 2007.In declarations filed in the case, Rinder and former Sea Org member Aaron Smith-Levin stated Miscavige lives in a wing of Hacienda Gardens on North Saturn Avenue and Keene Road in Clearwater, a gated complex that houses Sea Org members.In a declaration, Sea Org member Joshua Adi said he was shown certified mail receipt cards stating he signed for packages from the plaintiffs’ attorneys on Sept. 19, but he never picked up those packages or signed the receipts."
