[Carol Nyburg and Jeff, the son who defied ‘disconnection’] In 2013 we wrote about Carol Nyburg, a familiar face for many former Church of Scientology members who recall seeing her at the Flag Land Base in Clearwater, Florida.

The woman has so many things going on, we don’t know how she keeps track of it all.
