Scientology leader banished his wife to a secret prison a decade ago — according to his father

Scientology leader David Miscavige banished his wife to a secret church facility in the secluded San Bernardino National Forest in Southern California, according to a new tell-all book written by his father.

Shelly Miscavige has been seen publicly only once since 2005, at her father’s funeral two years later, although police have investigated several missing persons reports and reported she was alive and well but did not wish to make any statements.

The 55-year-old Miscavige has spent most of the last decade at the church’s International Base in Hemet, California, according to reports — but Ron Miscavige’s new memoir confirms suspicions that she’s since been sent to live in a secret compound with about a dozen other Scientologists.
