Scientology, the definitive web site.
As "Buffalo Month" continues on ARS, let's revisit what was happening in August 2003, as the staff busily prepared for the grand opening of the new building. Scientologist Amanda Lake sent the email below on August 2, 2003, indicating that the completion date for the renovations was supposed to be August 15. Just 312 "earth hours" away. (Who but a Scientologist would talk like that?)
The Buffalo Org was going to be Scientology's newest gem, a showcase monument to Int Management and DM in particular. But this monument had already been stained with blood. The Org's top auditor, Elli Perkins, had been dead for nearly 5 months, killed by her own son after she asked Scientology for help and received nothing.
Jeremy Perkins had pled to the murder on July 29, just a few days before this email went out. Judge Troutman's finding was "Not responsible by reason of mental disease or defect." And folks inside the Org knew that the failure to treat that mental disease rested squarely with the Church of Scientology.
Come August, staffers had put the murder out of their minds. Jeremy's fate was not discussed. And the renovations, in which Jeremy had personally assisted before the murder, proceeded. But not even Joseph Sgroi's millions would prove enough to get those stains off the walls of the new Org. Something was rotten in Buffalo, and the ARS critics, ever vigilant, had picked up the scent of blood.
