Jeff Jacobsen
Jeff
earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Religious Studies. In

in cults comes from his own six year experience in a small,

From his
home in Phoenix, Jeff was one of the first people to draw attention
to Lisa McPherson 's death after he noticed a website from the
Clearwater Police Department which was asking for information
on the death of Lisa McPherson. He recognized this as Scientology's
Fort Harrison Hotel. Jeff created a
website about Lisa McPherson.
Scientology
has targeted Jeff with attacks including disrupting events, sending
Private Investigator Eugene Ingram to do a "noisy investigation",
and distributing flyers throughout
Jeff's Phoenix neighborhood.
Jeff moved
to Clearwater to work for the Lisa McPherson Trust and during
this time he was photographed getting his haircut, followed while
driving from home and work, and was denied service at a Scientologist
owned restaurant.
One of the
most interesting chapters of Jeff's life in Clearwater happened
when Jeff tried to purchase a
memorial brick to honor Lisa McPherson to be placed in a public
park next to a Scientology building. When his brick order was
rejected, it took attention from the Media to force the issue
and allow the brick to be placed.
