Leah Remini has filed a missing person's report inquiring to the whereabouts of Shelly Miscavige, the wife of Scientology honcho David according to Tony Ortega.
On Thursday, Ortega took to his website and declared that he has received confirmation from the LAPD that Remini had acted on her suspicions regarding Shelly. She has not publicly been seen in six years. There have been rumors that Shelly is being kept prisoner at Lake Arrowhead in San Bernardino County. The move to press the matter on a legal front has created even greater friction between Remini and the organization.
Ortega said that Remini has been the victim of continued harassment since she left the religion last month.
"Remini has been busy dealing with her family's safety, the alleged abuses of Scientology's Sea Org workers, the disconnection policy, as well as the whereabouts of Shelly Miscavige and whether she has freedom of movement or has been convinced she is being punished for her own shortcomings," Oretga wrote.
Remini confronted David about his wife's absence and was reportedly retaliated against. It led to her defecting from Scientology. She spoke of her reasoning in July for leaving the faith after being a part of it since she was a child.
"I believe that people should be able to question things. I believe that people should value family, and value friendships, and hold those things sacrosanct," she said.
