Michele Diane Miscavige (née Barnett; born January 18, 1961) is an American Scientologist. She is a member of the Church of Scientology's Sea Org who married Scientology leader David Miscavige.[1]: 303 She was last seen in public in August 2007. Since her disappearance, she has been the subject of speculation and inquiries regarding her whereabouts and wellbeing.
In 2012, attorneys who said they represented her responded by saying she was merely living a private life devoted to the Church of Scientology. In August 2013, actress Leah Remini, a former Scientologist and critic of the organization, filed a missing person report regarding Miscavige with the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) which was closed within hours by the LAPD as "unfounded".
