24. This Church is Duluth Township, Far Northeastern Edge of St. Louis County.

The victims should sue the church in civil court. This church is worth over eight million dollars as per the property tax statement on file with the county. The church in Duluth on Calvary Road is worth over seven million dollars. Neither one of them pays a dime in property taxes because "religious" institutions are exempt from paying property taxes.

Bye-the-way, these Bruklemyers referenced in this article operate a lucrative home building business where it does not look like they eschew technology or modern conveniences as referenced in the article. I do not see Daryl Bruklemyer listed as an employee. However, it is a close knit group as many of the employees share the same last name (https://bruckelmyerbrothers.com/about-us/).
