Sharone Stainforth, theapolloseries.blogspot.com/2012/07/my-transcript-for-dublin-conference.html. According to another former Sea Org member, the little girl’s name was Angela, “a cute little blond girl that LRH thought was an SP and assigned her to the chain locker. She was so small I believe she crawled out of the locker up the chain to the poop deck as I remember seeing her coming out of that hole. I don’t remember what she did but it certainly made me swear to myself to never let that happen to me. I believe Lonnie Garrapie (not sure of the spelling), young boy from Canada, was assigned to the chain locker for stealing and throwing people’s belongings, that he stole, over the side—he did that with Kenny Campelman’s silver flute, David Ziff’s jewelry, and other items. Divers were sent over the side to try and retrieve the items, as they were all of great value.” Anonymous former Sea Org member, communication with Lauren Wolf.
