In May 1978, Deborah Layton, a Temple financial secretary and one of Jim Jones’ most trusted aides, traveled from Jonestown to Georgetown, Guyana and went to the American Embassy, where she sought refuge. An airline ticket from her family was waiting for her, and after giving a statement to Embassy Consul Richard McCoy about conditions in Jonestown, Blakey left for the United States. About a month later, she issued a longer [[affidavit]] with more details on her earlier allegations.
The affidavit became an important document in the campaign of the [[Concerned Relatives]] to bring attention to their cause, and helped Congressman [[Leo Ryan]] in his decision to go to Guyana six months later. For the same reason, the affidavit – and its author – became anathema in the Jonestown community.<ref>https://jonestown.sdsu.edu/?page_id=13072</ref>
