FBI Probing Deaths, Disappearances Of Scientists At Government Labs

The FBI is now probing reports of at least 10 missing or dead scientists and staff working in U.S. nuclear or space technology.

In a statement provided to the 🏢Daily Caller News Foundation on Tuesday, the FBI confirmed it is “spearheading the effort to look for connections into the missing and deceased scientists.” The probe comes after recent reports that at least ten U.S. researchers and scientists have died or gone missing over the past 33 months, raising speculation about the circumstances of the cases.

The FBI also told the DCNF that it is “working with the Department of Energy, Department of War, and with our state and state and local law enforcement partners to find answers.”

NASA spokesperson Bethany Stevens said in a Monday X post that the agency is “coordinating and cooperating with the relevant agencies in relation to the missing scientists.”

“At this time, nothing related to NASA indicates a national security threat,” Stevens continued. “The agency is committed to transparency and will provide more information as able.”

On Monday, the House Oversight Committee similarly launched an investigation into the reports of the deceased and missing scientists, The New York Post reported.
