Ghanem, 40, vanished without a trace in May 2023 while on a trip to the Inland Empire, and, as the months tick by with still no sign of him, family members have begun to fear the worst.

[...]

His sisters say Emilio spent the last two decades in Southern California as a devout member of a church, His Way Spirit Led Assemblies, whose members worked at a pest control company, Fullshield Incorporated.

This past April, Emilio left both the ministry and Fullshield behind and moved to Nashville, Tennessee to reunite with family and begin a new chapter.

[...]

On a return visit to the Inland Empire, Emilio stayed at a local Airbnb in Moreno Valley. He visited a Starbucks in Redlands on May 25th. Then, he was gone.

How common is it for a church to have a pastor and a "prophetess"? Gives cult vibes.

The KTLA video is really interesting. But I'm afraid that it (and the accompanying article) may get taken down and then we will have no record of the details of this case. So I am going to write down a few more key points here.

Some more interesting ones:
1) Emilio had recently been served with a "Cease and Desist" type letter from Fullshield Incorporated . They apparently heard about his venture into pest control and didn't want him to take away their established clients.
2) Also, he was driving a white Nissan Frontier truck. It was spotted by a license plate reader in Colton, CA the next day but they don't know if Emilio was in it.

Agree that the religion sounds very culty. Any religion where they members are all employed by the same business and live together too seems REALLY odd.

So how long prior moving did this happen? Him being in Nashville meanwhile should not really be a problem of the same clients anymore.

Their address is part of a mail box business (with bars on the window). Google's listing for them shows as "closed" but I don't know if that is their physical address (the mail store) or the "church" itself. Red flags for "scam" in my opinion. Google Search

Amilio has some traffic type infractions in San Bernardino County, but nothing in the last several years, and nothing alcohol or impairment related. No business court records for the church, it's as if they don't exist from a legal standpoint. https://cap.sb-court.org/dashboard There's no business registration for them either.

Still no business registration in the county Colton is located in. Either as Fullshield FullShield or Intergrated Pest Management. Their Facebook has them in Rialto, CA Fullshield INC. | Rialto CA but that's also in San Bernardino County so it's just odd to me they're not registered as a business on the county website.
