ELLI PERKINS

ELLI PERKINS

1949-2003

SCIENTOLOGIST WHO WAS MURDERED BY HER SON

Elli Perkins was a Scientologist who worked as a senior auditor inside the Church of Scientology in Buffalo, New York and also worked as a professional glass artist.

            Perkins was married to Don Perkins and they had two children. Their son Jeremy, aged 24 started showing disturbing behaviour and started hearing voices. Jeremy didn’t get the professional psychiatric care that he needed, as Scientology is against its members using medication and seeing psychologists. Instead, they sent him to Sea Org in California to get help which failed and he was returned to his parents. Jeremy’s condition became so bad he could no longer work. The Church of Scientology classified him as Level III ‘Potential Trouble Source’ and his mental illness exhausted all their efforts to cure him and instead they banned him.

            In 2001, Jeremy was arrested for trespassing at a University in Buffalo and he was placed inside a hospital and was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Elli asked the court to place Jeremy into her care and she became his carer. Elli sought out alternative methods for treatment. A Scientologist doctor suggested that he should take vitamins and an executive director of Scientology suggested she should give Jeremy more work to do around the house to tire him out.

            On 13 March 2003, Jeremy’s parents agreed that he should stay with Scientologist Albert Brown for treatment and he was to leave that afternoon. That morning Elli told Jeremy to take a shower, when he came out of the shower he found his mother in the kitchen talking on the phone. He grabbed a knife and killed his mother with it. He later stated that because he couldn’t take his own life, he decided to take his mother’s instead. He said that he believed his mother was evil, that she gets mad at him when he plays the drums, makes him take vitamins and when she told him to take the shower that morning that was the ‘last straw’. Jeremy was placed into professional care (outside of Scientology) and put on medication which improved his condition.

            After the murder, the TV program 48 HOURS aired a segment on Perkins death which received complaints from Scientologists.
