What really happened to Lisa McPherson inside the Fort Harrison Hotel? This episode of Sins of Scientology takes you through the tragic case of Lisa McPherson, a devoted Scientologist whose life came to a shocking end under mysterious and troubling circumstances. We provide a gripping narrative of Lisa's journey, from her vibrant life to her final, harrowing days, where church protocols were prioritized over her well-being. Listen as we recount the car accident that marked the beginning of her tragic end and the chaotic attempts by church members to manage her deteriorating condition.

Hear firsthand accounts from those closest to Lisa during her final days. Rita Boykin and Barbro Wenberg's testimonies reveal the desperate and disorganized efforts to care for Lisa. Joan and Valerie Demange's observations paint a haunting picture of Lisa's mental and physical decline, exacerbated by inadequate medical oversight and a dangerous reliance on church methods.

We also address the systemic failures and legal responsibilities associated with Lisa's care. Former senior executive Marty Rathburn and nurse Rick Pemberton offer critical insights into the flawed system that prioritized ideology over health and safety. This episode is a call for accountability and transparency, aiming to honor Lisa McPherson's memory by advocating for much-needed reforms.
