John Fallis was a member of 52 Division of the Toronto Police force. I worked with him until his death, I can’t remember when that was.
Mickael Chornopesky & Allen Coulson were the two who were caught in the elevator shaft room of my lawyers firm at the time Wier & Foulds.. They had lock picking tools and the whole scene was mishandled by the police.
They had been given aliases by the Guardian’s Office for the purpose of hiding the fact that they were Scientologists. Allens’ name was changed to Keith Summerfield and Mikes’ was changed to Don Alverzo. Believe it or not the Grardian’s Office stupidly published it in the OOD’s Soooooo yes Both Mike and Allen were the people caught in the attempted break in.

I’ve been a bit of a lurker here for years – my pride in my family inspired me to comment finally! I have some vague recollections of that time (I was almost 4) and the years following.
I certainly remember Paulette fondly (I thought she was another aunt!) as well as the couple who filmed this piece. They became lifelong family friends.

Just got around to watching this. The family argument was a bit painful to watch, having had arguments like that within my own family.

In reply to Bavarian Rage. Incredibly proud to call this amazing woman "Gran"! She and my mother Susan (the daughter who never joined) inspire me every day with their integrity, honesty and guts.

I know I’ve read some of your postings on ESMB telling snippets of your story. I’m SO sorry to hear that your entire family was put through such terror and yes, I agree with that label for the cult!
If you have any links to times you’ve shared more of your story, plz post as I’d love to read more about all you’ve gotten through! You’re one of those people whose story caught my attn when I first started lurking, as it was so intense!
