Scientology Part 2: Disappearance of The High Priestess... Where is Shelly Miscavige?

Tina Victoria Afshar & Ella Mumby Season 2 Episode 3

In August 2007, Shelly Miscavige was last seen in public while heavily escorted. It's been 14 years and she hasn't been seen or heard from since (allegedly lol). What happened to the woman once so powerful she was dubbed the 'First Lady of Scientology'? 
In a church full of mysteries, Shelly's disappearance may be the most puzzling. What happened? Where is she? Is she even alive? Rather than getting dizzy thinking of the possibilities, we're dissecting all of them in this episode. Plus, we cover the backstory of David Miscavige — Shelly's husband and leader of the Church of Scientology since L Ron Hubbard's death. Holding the secrets about the church and Shelly's whereabouts is David... what isn't he telling us?
