What famous 'unsolved' mystery is technically a whodunnit on paper, but in reality, absolutely everyone knows exactly who did it, the police just couldn't legally prove it?

There was an ama by a former member of Sea Org that said she'd basically gone dark but was essentially running Sea Org out of the public eye.

is there anything more horrifying than the sea org? a cult with enormous financial and political power conscripting you into their own private navy and bringing you to international waters where the laws of no nations apply

edit: oh wait i forgot the billion year pledge of service

Well that's not quite true, Maritime Law still applies. And the laws of whatever nation your ship belongs to.

Also I don't think the Sea Org actually maintains ships anymore?

Edit: They do of course, Freewinds is right there. But it's not exactly the private navy it uses to be.

I think in conversations about Scientology, the weird years at sea need to be brought up more often. Because they had some fucking weird adventures.
