By now, this included not only the temple, but also the radio station, the Bible school, the seminary, the charities, and the various church branches, which by now numbered in the hundreds.

Minnie kept busy, all while placating disgruntled followers.

No one had joined this church to see Minnie or any of the other preachers who stepped in.

They wanted Amy.

By the time Amy came home, Minnie was steaming.

And after Minnie publicly voted no confidence in Amy's leadership,

Amy requested her resignation.

She offered her mother a $200,000 settlement.

So Minnie hit the road.

She became a traveling evangelist in her own right.

And although she admitted that her daughter had been far too close to Kenneth Ormiston, she continued to say Amy had been held hostage until her dying day.

Now, was the 200 grand hush money?

Or is it possible Amy really was kidnapped?

No one was ever charged with her kidnapping, but criminals get away all the time.

Amy herself maintained her story, living out her life as a world-famous evangelist.

And during the Great Depression, her church ran the largest soup kitchen in LA, and it continues to help people as of 2025.

Her temple still operates in Los Angeles.

That brings us to the one place we could look for answers, but we can't access them.

To this day, the Foursquare Church refuses to share the only complete copy of Amy's grand jury documents in existence.

The files that might clue us in on the truth.
