Guard Stands by Diamond House in Benjamins Vault Saga
In Benton Harbor Michigan on January 24 a guard unit protects the Diamond House of the House of David colony. The guard aims to deter outsiders from entering and searching for the late leader Benjamin Purnell’s supposed wealth, estimated at 600000 to 700000 dollars in cash and gems. The case arose after Ada Ross Schneider claimed wages and knowledge of the treasure, prompting legal moves that shifted when settlements reduced claims. The Diamond House also houses the mummified remains of the cult leader, whose claimed resurrection sustains the faithful.
