Summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n

(Note: <\/strong>This tape was transcribed by Nicole Bissett. The<\/em> editors gratefully acknowledge her invaluable assistance.)<\/em><\/p>\n

In this short tape, Temple attorney Harriet Tropp calls Carnella Truss about a report that the woman has a problem with her daughter, Dana Truss, leaving on a trip. As Tropp describes it, Dana would be gone \u201csix weeks, two month\u201d to Barbados, the Caribbean, and to South America \u201cto the mission project for the denomination.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Tropp has misunderstod the concern. Carnella just wanted to know where Dana was. She tells Tropp that she gave her daughter to her mother \u2013 Dana\u2019s grandmother \u2013 and hadn\u2019t said anything about getting her back.<\/p>\n

What is significant about the phone call \u2013 one reason this may have not been recorded over, as so many others were \u2013 is that the custody of Dana eventually became an issue in Jonestown, second only to that of John Victor Stoen. In a tape from Jonestown<\/a> made a year later, the grandmother Mary Griffith reads a statement over the Temple\u2019s short wave radio to reporters in San Francisco that Carnella had been \u201con dope,\u201d that she had surrendered Dana at birth, and that Mary and Dana and the rest of the family were staying in Jonestown.\u00a0 With the exception of Mary\u2019s husband, Emmett Griffith Sr., who died of natural causes before November 18, the Griffith family died in the mass murder\/suicide.<\/p>\n
