I continue to harbor a sneaking suspicion that Scientologists played a role in this whole thing. The primary venue was Clearwater, Florida, which is heavily infested by Scientology.
Your suspicion is well founded. The place was swarming with them when Terri was killed. Judge Greer's courthouse sits right there, and Scientologybots would come demonstrate on behalf of Mikey, our new bridegroom, just a few miles south from their Clearwater stronghold.
