Penelope Edwards had all but put her life back together in March 2012.\\xa0 After years of struggling with addiction and psychological problems \\u2013 so bad that she had turned temporary custody of her two children over to her sister Gloria \\u2013 Penelope was now sober, working\\xa0 through therapy, had her children back and even had a new boyfriend \\u2013 Troy Dunn.\\xa0 By all accounts, Penelope, Troy and the two kids were living a happy life in Prescott Valley Arizona.\\xa0\\xa0But on March 16, 2012, evil visited that happy home \\u2013 when Kenneth Thompson, the husband of Penelope\\u2019s sister Gloria \\u2013 after driving 25 miles from his home in Missouri, took a hatchet to both Penelope and Troy in an attempt to \\u201crescue\\u201d Penelope\\u2019s children from what Thompson believed to be a dangerous environment.\\xa0\\xa0Dangerous how?\\xa0\\xa0Well. It seems that Penelope not only had herself in therapy \\u2013 her daughter was also seeing a therapist\\xa0 and her young son, who had been suffering with a severe psychological disorder, was under both therapeutic and medical treatment.\\xa0 And all of that was working \\u2013 and contributing to the healing and happiness in the Edwardsd/Dunn household.\\xa0\\xa0Um.\\xa0 Again: Dangerous how?\\xa0\\xa0Turns out it was dangerous solely in the mind of Ken Thompson \\u2013 who decided on his own that because the niece and nephew of his wife were being exposed to psychiatry and psychotherapy, they were being, effectively, brainwashed and damaged.\\xa0 Because that was Thompson\\u2019s interpretation of his religion\\u2019s belief.\\xa0\\xa0And his religion was The Church of Scientology.\\xa0\\xa0Fortunately, both of Penelope\\u2019s kids were away from the house when Ken Thompson made his deadly visit, but her murder, and that of Troy Dunn \\u2013 who had vowed to raise Penelope\\u2019s children as his own, changed those kids\\u2019 lives forever.\\xa0 Join Melissa as she traverses this difficult case of an evil man fraudulently using his religion as a defense against the horrible act he himself committed \\u2013 and an examination of Melissa\\u2019s own experience as a friend of a Scientologist and the question of religious freedom versus religious advocacy.
