[The cabanas of the Fort Harrison Hotel facing Osceola Avenue]
After spending several hours at Morton Plant Hospital in Clearwater, Florida, Lisa McPherson arrived at the Fort Harrison Hotel late on a Saturday night, and already some questionable decisions were being made about her care.
At the hospital, following Lisa’s bizarre behavior of taking her clothes off and walking down the middle of the road after a minor car accident, psychiatric nurse Joe Price had questioned Lisa about her state of mind. He found that although she spoke with an odd cadence, her answers were lucid, and she didn’t appear to be a danger to herself or others. He decided that she didn’t meet the criteria for being “Baker Acted” and held, with or without her consent, for a full psychiatric evaluation.
But the attending physician, Dr. Flynn Lovett, was heard to argue with Price, and it became clear that Lovett disagreed and wanted to keep Lisa at the hospital. Eventually, he relented, but only after one of the Scientologists who had come to the hospital, a medical liaison officer named Judy Goldsberry-Weber, promised that she would take care of Lisa and watch her closely.
“He pointed his finger and he just shook it at me and just was vehement in his manner,” Judy later told police about what Lovett told her that night: “I’m holding you personally responsible and if anything happens, I’m gonna nail you.”
Judy planned to take Lisa in her car, and she assumed they would be taking Lisa back to her home to rest. But instead, senior case supervisor Alain Kartuzinski took Lisa in his car, and drove her to the Fort Harrison Hotel, Scientology’s most holy site, the jewel in its “spiritual mecca.” He assigned the facility’s senior medical officer, a woman named Janis Johnson, to oversee Lisa’s care. Judy, meanwhile, had promised Lisa that she just needed to run home for some clothes and things and then she’d join Lisa to keep an eye on her. But when she got back to her place at the Hacienda, an apartment complex owned by the church where many Sea Org workers lived, she was told by Humberto Fontana, an Office of Special Affairs executive who had also been at the hospital, that she had done enough that day and that her roommate, Susanne Schnurrenberger, was going to spend time with Lisa.
