Tom Theo Klemesrud - Miss Blood Incident

Miss Blood Incident

During the litigation against Klemesrud in February, 1995, an incident occurred as a result of an intelligence breach of a file from the internal Scientology computer system, known as INCOMM, or the International Network of Computer Organized Management. The incident presented evidence of Fair Game by Scientology, as they tried to frame Klemesrud for attacking a female in his apartment who had drugged him with chloral hydrate on January 14, 1995. Klemesrud was arrested on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon and released on $30,000 bail the next morning, while the woman was allowed to leave the scene without any examination. A police detective was subsequently unable to contact her. The District Attorney rejected the charges, refusing to prosecute.

Klemesrud's account of the frame up was posted to the newsgroup on January 15 by Dennis Erlich, and information from a police report of the incident, contained in a file from the INCOMM system was posted anonymously by a poster known as "AB" to the newsgroup alt.religion.scientology on January 23. "AB" was subsequently identified by Caltech as Thomas Gerard Rummelhart. Ms Blood was identified as Linda Woolard.

In an effort to find out who breached the file that corroborated the attempted frame up of Klemesrud, Scientology enlisted the Los Angeles Police Department to seek help from Interpol, alleging that it was a hacker. (See Second compromise) Klemesrud wrote a letter to the LAPD that Scientology already knew and silenced the anonymous poster. In 2002, Keith Henson compiled what was known of the story to that time, and a year later Tom Klemesrud executed a declaration { about being dosed with chloral hydrate.
