Speaker 1: By popular request, We're going to take a look at
Speaker 1: some of the recent missing scientists. Is there conspiracy theory
Speaker 1: here or is it just coincidental? I'm Steve Stockton, Join me.
Speaker 1: Let's take a walk and see. Now, being a scientist
Speaker 1: has always been a dangerous game, from building world ning
Speaker 1: wartime weapons to conducting world bending experiments. But there seems
Speaker 1: to be another danger lurking below the surface, an unspoken
Speaker 1: danger that has recently been targeting scientists across the world.
Speaker 1: Are there disappearances and deaths simply a coincidence or a
Speaker 1: peak into.
Speaker 2: Something far more dangerous?
Speaker 1: First up, let's take a look at Amy Eskridge. Now,
Speaker 1: if you've been keeping up with the news, you'll know
Speaker 1: that the FBI is opening a probe into the bizarre
Speaker 1: disappearances and deaths of scientists since twenty twenty two. Now,
Speaker 1: the FBI has been very coy about why they're probing.
Speaker 1: So today we'll explore these cases objectively and see just
Speaker 1: what we can find. To try and keep this video
Speaker 1: concidne going to work through the cases in chronological order,
Speaker 1: starting with Amy Eskridge. Now, Amy is being referred to
Speaker 1: as the eleventh scientists in this tangled web, but her
Speaker 1: passing was the first to occur. On June eleventh, twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two, Amy Eskridge was found deceeized in Huntsville, Alabama.
Speaker 1: Her passing was recorded as being by her own hand,
Speaker 1: a claim that many do not buy, but according to
Speaker 1: her obituary, Amy obtained her double degree in chemistry and
Speaker 1: biology and took on the world. She was multidisciplined, finding
Speaker 1: interest in physics, genetics, and electrical engineering. Following her studies,
Speaker 1: she founded the Institute of Exotic Science and began working
Speaker 1: on what some considered off the wall science. Her main
Speaker 1: area of focus before she passed was anti gravity research. Now,
Speaker 1: anti gravity research is somewhat controversial within the scientific community.
Speaker 1: Many physicists deemed it an impossible dream to create a
Speaker 1: force to push back on gravity. However, scientists know better
Speaker 1: than anyone to never say never. Research is mostly sad
Speaker 1: within the theoretical setting, but there are some out there
Speaker 1: making it their life mission to prove everyone wrong. Amy
Speaker 1: Askridge was one of those. In twenty twenty, Amy gave
Speaker 1: a long interview with YouTuber Jeremy Riz in which she said, quote,
Speaker 1: we discovered anti gravity, and our lives went to shit,
Speaker 1: and people started sabotageing itst it's harassment, threats.
Speaker 2: It's awful.
Speaker 1: If you stick your neck out in public, at least
Speaker 1: someone notices if your head gets chopped off. If you
Speaker 1: stick your neck out in private, they will bury you.
Speaker 1: They will burn down your house while you're sleeping in
Speaker 1: your bed, and it won't even make the news. I
Speaker 1: have to publish because it's only going to get worse.
Speaker 1: Until I published, the situation is getting more aggressive.
Speaker 2: End quote.
Speaker 1: Now. As Amy did indeed began to stick her neck out,
Speaker 1: she began to feel the pressure. She confided in friends
Speaker 1: and colleagues that she believed she was being targeted with
Speaker 1: an energy weapon. One person she trusted the most was
Speaker 1: Frank Milburn, a former British intelligence agent. Her Frank Amy
Speaker 1: provided photos of her hands that had been burnt by
Speaker 1: this energy weapon. One of her colleagues apparently identified the
Speaker 1: offending object as an RF nash K band transmitter. Now,
Speaker 1: these emitters are used in satellites, drones, etc. And used
Speaker 1: microwaves to operate with a specific frequency, allowing for effective communication. Then,
Speaker 1: according to other posts online, Amy also claimed to have
Speaker 1: been threatened and intimidated by US contractors. Now, she didn't divulge,
Speaker 1: at least not publicly, which contractors were allegedly threatening her.
Speaker 1: She also made other reports to colleagues about receiving death
Speaker 1: threats and other threats over her choice to go public
Speaker 1: with her anti gravity research. Many have tried to paint
Speaker 1: Amy as an unstable and unreliable narrator, but we have
Speaker 1: no proof either way. We're presenting this as it was
Speaker 1: found now. Amy also made mention of Martin mcandish, an
Speaker 1: aerospace illustrator who was very interested in UFOs. His most
Speaker 1: notable contribution, according to external sources, wasn't intricately detailed illustration
Speaker 1: of the ARV or Alien reproduction vehicle along with his testimony. Now,
Speaker 1: if you're in UFO circles, you might be familiar with
Speaker 1: the ARV, also known as the Flux Liner. Now, according
Speaker 1: to theories, this is a top secret anti gravity aircraft
Speaker 1: that was made by reverse engineering alien technologies from Area
Speaker 1: fifty one, another highly classified bases. Mark testified to having
Speaker 1: witnesses technology firsthand at a classified base somewhere within the US. Now,
Speaker 1: most scientists refused to listen, but the UFO community they
Speaker 1: welcomed Mark with open arms. Amy made mention of Mark
Speaker 1: and noted that he passed away because he quote didn't
Speaker 1: go public end quote like others. Mark mccandis passed away
Speaker 1: in April twenty twenty one. Reports indicate that he did
Speaker 1: pass away by his own hand. Now, according to a
Speaker 1: user on Reddit whose story cannot be one hundred percent verified,
Speaker 1: claims that Mark left behind a two page note. In
Speaker 1: the note, he mentioned how he was in a great
Speaker 1: deal of pain, battling numerous health issues, ever becoming too
Speaker 1: much to bear Now. Mart mccandish's case has not been
Speaker 1: linked to the eleven scientists, although things may change in
Speaker 1: the future. Amy's case has polarized the public. One piece
Speaker 1: of damning evidence that hit the internet on May thirteenth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, Amy sent a text message to a
Speaker 1: friend which read quote, oh, by the way, if you
Speaker 1: see any report that I took myself out, I most
Speaker 1: definitely did not end quote. The text goes on to
Speaker 1: say that whatever they claimed she did, she did not.
Speaker 1: The end of the text, ram was on about something else,
Speaker 1: pointing to an unclear mental state, but the definitive admission
Speaker 1: she made is impossible to ignore. All the source material
Speaker 1: used will be in the description box below so you
Speaker 1: can check for yourself and.
Speaker 2: Form your own opinion.
Speaker 1: Now, Amy's passing barely made headlines until this year, when
Speaker 1: the FBI stated they were looking into her passing and
Speaker 1: any connection it may have had to the other ten
Speaker 1: Amy's father, who once worked for NASA, has since come
Speaker 1: out publicly to spell all these conspiracy theories surrounding our passing.
Speaker 1: Her family stated Amy dealt with chronic pain and that
Speaker 1: quote people should not make too much of this end quote.
Speaker 1: Despite what her family says, the internet sleus will continue
Speaker 1: to dig and discuss her case. Given the very bold
Speaker 1: public declaration made in May twenty twenty two, it seems
Speaker 1: unlikely that she did anything, at least to the public.
Speaker 1: Please remember, do not harass anyone involved in these cases,
Speaker 1: and please keep your discussion respectful. Next up, Michael David Hicks. Now,
Speaker 1: Hicks is second chronologically, but he does have harder links
Speaker 1: to governmental agencies. In nineteen ninety eight, Hicks completed his
Speaker 1: postdoctorate or PhD in lunar and planetary science, enjoining NASA's
Speaker 1: jpl her Jet Propulsion Laboratory. According to press release, Hicks's
Speaker 1: main area of focus was the physical properties of commets
Speaker 1: and asteroids. He worked on the DART, the Double Asteroid
Speaker 1: Redirection Test NEAT, which is the Near Earth Asteroid track teams,
Speaker 1: as well as the Dawn Mission and the NASA Deep
Speaker 1: Space One mission. By all accounts, Hicks was a well
Speaker 1: established and a well accomplished scientist, with over eighty papers
Speaker 1: to his name. Then in twenty twenty three, something changed.
Speaker 1: While Hicks is the first bizarre death, it's the one
Speaker 1: we know least about. His family has chosen to keep
Speaker 1: his cause of death private, and we must respect his wishes.
Speaker 1: All we know is that Michael David Hicks passed away
Speaker 1: on July thirtieth, twenty twenty three, at age fifty nine.
Speaker 1: His daughter Julius Interville, that her father had known medical
Speaker 1: issues and had been struggling shortly before his passing. She
Speaker 1: told CNN quotes from what I know of my dad,
Speaker 1: there is no trained of logic to follow that would
Speaker 1: implicate him in this potential federal investigation. I don't understand
Speaker 1: the connection between my dad's death and the other missing scientists. Now,
Speaker 1: hicks passing does seem to be unconnected, other than the
Speaker 1: fact that he worked for NASA. Other missing and deceased
Speaker 1: scientists also worked for gard Mill agencies, but so far
Speaker 1: that it's the only connection. Hicks never mentioned receiving any
Speaker 1: threats like Amy, but it is possible that he kept
Speaker 1: them to himself. His family has asked for privacy, but
Speaker 1: with an FBI probe on the horizon, it seems they
Speaker 1: will continue to be subjected to the online discussion and theories.
Speaker 1: Next up, Frank Maywald sixty one year old. Frank Maywald,
Speaker 1: again a man we know very little about. Frank was
Speaker 1: born in Germany and eventually his work brought him to
Speaker 1: the US. In the nineteen nineties, Frank began working for NASA,
Speaker 1: specifically at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. As you can see
Speaker 1: a pattern is beginning to form here. Frank's main area
Speaker 1: of study and work was in chemistry and mass spectrometry
Speaker 1: to help build instruments that would be able to find
Speaker 1: water and other chemical markers. These markers and elements would
Speaker 1: then help scientists determine whether these planets, etc. Could host
Speaker 1: human life in the future. In twenty twenty three, Frank
Speaker 1: was made the principal researcher at JPL. I was working
Speaker 1: on a possible breakthrough for astronauts on based missions now.
Speaker 1: According to reports, the JPL were hoping to explore Europa,
Speaker 1: Jupiter's moon in Soilatus, Saturn's moon, and Sirrus, a dwarf planet. Now,
Speaker 1: instrumentations such as the ones Frank worked on could be
Speaker 1: the difference maker in humans establishing new colonies in space.
Speaker 1: On July fourth, twenty twenty four, Frank Mywold passed away,
Speaker 1: aged sixty one. His cause of death has never been
Speaker 1: refealed to the public, and no autopsy was performed. For
Speaker 1: memorials left by his colleagues, it appears to Frank's passing
Speaker 1: was sudden and unexpected. Many have said that he had
Speaker 1: been actively working on big projects in the days before
Speaker 1: he passed. Neither Na nor the JPL has made a
Speaker 1: public statement. There's no acknowledgment of his passing, and nobody
Speaker 1: has spoken about the loss of a great mind. In fact,
Speaker 1: aside from his obituary, there's nothing else to indicate what happened.
Speaker 1: It seems that one day Frank simply ceased to exist
Speaker 1: and everyone just went about their business next. Anthony Chavez,
Speaker 1: now seventy eight year old Anthony Chavez is another man
Speaker 1: who disappeared into the ether with a bizarre connection to
Speaker 1: governmental agencies. From what we can gather, Anthony had worked
Speaker 1: as a construction foreman at the Loss Almost Laboratory. At
Speaker 1: some point, Anthony moved into the laboratory itself, Although his
Speaker 1: role is unknown, an old newspaper clipping obtained by the
Speaker 1: Sentinel Network shows that in the nineteen eighties he worked
Speaker 1: in heating, ventilation and air conditioning, so it appears his
Speaker 1: role was more technical than scientific. Either way, Anthony was
Speaker 1: a long term employee at Los Almost National Laboratory before
Speaker 1: retiring in twenty seventeen. On May eighth, twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: Chavez was reported missing when friends and family were unable
Speaker 1: to contact him. The Loss Almost PD conducted a welfare
Speaker 1: check at his home and found nothing unusual. His car
Speaker 1: was locked and parked in the driveway, His cigarettes, keys,
Speaker 1: and wallet were still inside the home, and there was
Speaker 1: no signs of a force entry or a struggle. Also,
Speaker 1: according to the central News at work, the last recorded
Speaker 1: movement of Anthony came on May fifth, twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: when his landline made several outgoing calls.
Speaker 2: He did know on a cell phone.
Speaker 1: The loss Almost PD brought in cadaver dogs and other
Speaker 1: specialized units, but again found nothing. Wider searches of the
Speaker 1: Lost Almost area, including Pueblo Canyon, were conducted, but no
Speaker 1: signs of him were ever found. Anthony was known for
Speaker 1: his love of nature, and he took advantage of the
Speaker 1: national parks and trails around him. Police discovered his bank
Speaker 1: activity stopped on May fifth, two, seemning.
Speaker 2: The idea that he had vanished that day.
Speaker 1: Again, the police and other agencies are keeping a tight
Speaker 1: lid on this story. Those who knew Anthony described new
Speaker 1: as mentally stable and healthy. He showed no indication of
Speaker 1: wanting to disappear or do away with himself. His disappearance,
Speaker 1: like the others, was sudden and shocking. Most of the
Speaker 1: information gathered about in Anthony comes from articles online regarding
Speaker 1: his disappearance. The Loss Almost PD releases vague and speaks
Speaker 1: more about the search effort than anything else. It's becoming
Speaker 1: harder to ignore the burgeoning pattern. From what we know,
Speaker 1: Anthony worked on ventilation at the lab. Now, he wasn't
Speaker 1: a top scientist working on a secret project, well at
Speaker 1: least not as far as we know. But whirre the
Speaker 1: Los Almost PD keeping mum about an elderly man's disappearance.
Speaker 1: Why are details so hard to come by? Why are
Speaker 1: local outlets silent about this? Surely the more eyes on
Speaker 1: the case, the better. Will likely never receive the answers
Speaker 1: we're looking for, and we can only hope that Anthony
Speaker 1: and the others missing are found safe and well. Next up,
Speaker 1: Monica Reza. Now, if you're a frequent viewer of the channel,
Speaker 1: the name Monica Rezia will be familiar to you. Now,
Speaker 1: I won't go into too much detail here, as we
Speaker 1: have a full video on her disappearance elsewhere on the channel. However,
Speaker 1: I will try to cover some new ground. At the
Speaker 1: time of us making that video, we were not aware
Speaker 1: of the other ten plus missing scientist or the connections
Speaker 1: she has to the case. Monica Resid spent most of
Speaker 1: her teenage years and adulthood in higher education. She first
Speaker 1: got her BSc and metallurgical engineering before obtaining her master's
Speaker 1: in materials engineering from UCLA. From there, the career path
Speaker 1: was simple. She got a job with Rockwell International and
Speaker 1: Aerospace Company and began working on engines for rocket ships.
Speaker 1: Monica was an incredibly intelligent and accomplished woman, having worked
Speaker 1: for several high profile companies in their research department. In
Speaker 1: the late nineteen nineties, she collaborated with the Air Force
Speaker 1: Research Lab. Monica would later work with NASA in the
Speaker 1: two thousands on other research projects of engines and fuels,
Speaker 1: but her biggest accolades wouldn't come until twenty sixteen, when
Speaker 1: Rockwell International made significant advancements in you guessed at rocket
Speaker 1: propulsion technology.
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: Five, Monica was made the director of Materials Processing at
Speaker 1: NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Speaker 2: There's the JPL. Once again.
Speaker 1: Monica's success would be short lived, however, as on June
Speaker 1: twenty second, twenty two, twenty five, she vanished while hiking
Speaker 1: in the Angeles National Forest. For more details pertaining to
Speaker 1: her disappearance, click on the link in the description to watch.
Speaker 2: Our full breakdown.
Speaker 1: In the wake of the other missing scientists, Monica's case
Speaker 1: has now been added to the FBI investigation. Other government
Speaker 1: agencies may also be involved. Next up, Melissa Cassius. A
Speaker 1: little over a month after Monica disappeared, the scientific community
Speaker 1: would take another hit. On June twenty, twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: fifty three year old Melissa Casius dropped her husband off
Speaker 1: at the Los Almost National Laboratory. Melissa and her husband
Speaker 1: both worked for the lab, with Melissa working as an
Speaker 1: admin assistant. She told him she was quote going to
Speaker 1: another site end quote for work that day and drove off.
Speaker 1: At around seven forty five am. Melissa went back home.
Speaker 1: Her daughter, Sierra, remembers their exchange. She was surprised to
Speaker 1: see her mother, who informed her she had forgotten her badge.
Speaker 1: That badge was crucial. It granted her into to the
Speaker 1: lab and most likely entered to the IT systems it were.
Speaker 1: But there's a crucial clue here. According to Sierra, her mother,
Speaker 1: Melissa told her that she planned to work either from
Speaker 1: home or call in sick that day, a completely different
Speaker 1: story from why she told her husband. By eight am,
Speaker 1: Sierra left her work, not knowing this will be the
Speaker 1: last time she would ever see her mother. The rest
Speaker 1: of the day was a blur until two eighteen PM,
Speaker 1: when a family friend saw Melissa walking eastbound along New
Speaker 1: Mexico five to eighteen towards Bot Creek. The family friend
Speaker 1: paid no mind, finished his phone call and food. By
Speaker 1: the time he was done, Melissa had vanished. Once she
Speaker 1: failed to return home, the Loss Almost PD were called
Speaker 1: and the investigation began. After doing some digging, the police
Speaker 1: realized Melissa's walk had been captured on CCTV. The footage
Speaker 1: shows her carrying a backpack walking along the interstate, but
Speaker 1: as they zoomed through the footage, they uncovered something unsettling.
Speaker 1: As Melissa walked, a blue Dodge pickup truck followed Mark Cases.
Speaker 1: Melissa's husband said the following about the footage to Taos News. Quote,
Speaker 1: she was staggering across the road like she was heard
Speaker 1: or intoxicated, which she's not a drinker end quote.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Following the discovery of this footage, investigators believed Melissa may
Speaker 1: have been forced into the pickup. Now, Melissa's family reiterated
Speaker 1: to the media that she was not a weak lady
Speaker 1: their words, and if this was the case, she would
Speaker 1: have put up a hell of a fight. Lost almost
Speaker 1: PD missed out on crucial time and the investigation as well,
Speaker 1: as they spent a lot of time trying to piece
Speaker 1: together Mark and Sierra's stories instead of getting out there
Speaker 1: and searching. When Sierra was made aware of her mother's disappearance,
Speaker 1: she raced home. When she arrived, she found her mother's
Speaker 1: car part neatly in the driveway. Her keys, wallet, and phones,
Speaker 1: both personal in work, were found inside the house. Bizarrely,
Speaker 1: both of Melissa's phones had been factory reset, and nobody
Speaker 1: could explain why. Sierra told police she'd send a text
Speaker 1: her mother at one thirty PM, which her mother had
Speaker 1: read according to the phone. This leaves an incredibly short
Speaker 1: window of time for Melissa to get to New Mexico
Speaker 1: Highway by eighteen. Now there's something that just doesn't sit
Speaker 1: right with the family either. In order to drive Mark
Speaker 1: into the lab that morning, Melissa would have needed her badge,
Speaker 1: So why did she return home and tell her daughter
Speaker 1: she'd forgotten? According to her husband, he saw her swipe
Speaker 1: in that morning. Sierra and Mark also feel that Melissa's
Speaker 1: side of the family is trying to exclude them from
Speaker 1: search efforts. They also feel that the police have not
Speaker 1: been totally forthcoming either. Melissa's disappearance is bizarre, and there
Speaker 1: are so many more details that we had to leave
Speaker 1: out for sake of brevity. Was Melissa being pursued by someone?
Speaker 1: Why would she lie to her daughter and husband but
Speaker 1: tell them both different things. Now, since that section I
Speaker 1: just narrated was written, Melissa's body has sadly been found.
Speaker 1: On May twenty twenty six, hikers of the Carson National
Speaker 1: Forest came across skeletal remains. These remains were ultimately identified
Speaker 1: as Melissacasius. The area of the park mcgaffee Ridge where
Speaker 1: she was found was around fifteen miles from her home
Speaker 1: in Tas. Investigators also found a weapon with the remains. However,
Speaker 1: as of June sixth, twenty twenty six, no official cause
Speaker 1: of death has been established. An autopsy will be performed
Speaker 1: to determine the cause of death and whether foul play
Speaker 1: was afoot. For many Melyssa's death seems very suspicious, but
Speaker 1: only time will tell.
Speaker 2: In the meantime, if.
Speaker 1: You do have any information regarding her disappearance, you're asked
Speaker 1: to police. Contact the New Mexico State Police at five
Speaker 1: seven five seven five eight eight eight seven eight and
Speaker 1: reference case number n M SPR two five zero seven
Speaker 1: seven seven to one. Next, we have Stephen Garcia. Forty
Speaker 1: eight year old Stephen Garcia worked for the Kansas City
Speaker 1: National Security Campus in Kansas, Missouri. According to reports, Stephen
Speaker 1: was a property custodian and had a high level of clearance.
Speaker 1: He had access to top security knowledge and projects Now,
Speaker 1: it's important to mention that the KCNSC is a nuclear
Speaker 1: production plan formerly known as the Kansas City Plan. It's
Speaker 1: privately owned but works closely with the US government to
Speaker 1: provide it with nuclear and non nuclear products. In fact,
Speaker 1: according to one article, the KCNSC is responsible for providing
Speaker 1: eighty percent of the non nuclear components that the US
Speaker 1: government needs to create nuclear weapons. The KCNSC is extremely
Speaker 1: important to the US government and the nuclear defense of
Speaker 1: the country. Now, Stephen lived a normal life, got up
Speaker 1: every morning, went to work, and came home to his family. Then,
Speaker 1: without warning, he disappeared. On August twenty eight, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: He was last seen leaving his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Speaker 1: Nobody knows why he walked out or what he was
Speaker 1: planning to do. The authorities tell the story as Stephen
Speaker 1: being a danger to himself for others, but an anonymous
Speaker 1: source came forward after completely dispelling these rumors. According to
Speaker 1: that anonymous source, Stephen was mentally sound and there was
Speaker 1: no warning science. The anonymous source also believed that Stephen
Speaker 1: had been targeted by spies. Now that may sound like
Speaker 1: a trope from a Hollywood film, but it's a very
Speaker 1: real possibility. There are many nation states out there that
Speaker 1: would love to get their hands on the knowledge he
Speaker 1: had access to. Steven's job as a custodian saw him
Speaker 1: being responsible for millions, if not billions of dollars worth
Speaker 1: of material linked to the nuclear industry. As with many
Speaker 1: other cases, information is scant. There have been search efforts
Speaker 1: to find Stephen, but the new Mexico authorities are keeping
Speaker 1: their lips sealed. By now, the pattern is clear. It
Speaker 1: would seem that someone is targeting those who hold top
Speaker 1: secret information. But for what purpose we simply do not know.
Speaker 1: Next we have Jason Thomas, our next missing scientist, takes
Speaker 1: us to the other end of the country, but that
Speaker 1: doesn't mean.
Speaker 2: He isn't connected to the others.
Speaker 1: On December twelfth, twenty twenty five, forty five year old
Speaker 1: Jason Thomas walked of his home in Wakefield, Massachusetts, in
Speaker 1: the middle of the night, never to be seen again. Now,
Speaker 1: Jason worked for Novardes, a Swiss pharmaceutical company, where he
Speaker 1: was the director of chemical Biology. Like the others, Jason
Speaker 1: was well educated and had many accolades to his name.
Speaker 1: His work primarily focused on cancer treatments and creating new
Speaker 1: medicines to help combat one of humanity's most horrific diseases. Now,
Speaker 1: it's also important to add additional context to Jason's disappearance.
Speaker 2: Though.
Speaker 1: His widow, Kristin Bartoli, told the media that her husband
Speaker 1: had been severely depressed at the time of his disappearance.
Speaker 1: He had recently lost both of his parents within an
Speaker 1: hour of each other. His mother had been in hospice
Speaker 1: care with cancer, and his father had a heart attack
Speaker 1: an hour after his mother passed. Jason was an only child,
Speaker 1: and now it felt like he was drowning. Kristin revealed
Speaker 1: that Jason had never lost anyone close to him, so
Speaker 1: to lose the two most important people in your life
Speaker 1: within an hour of each other had hit him exceptionally hard.
Speaker 1: Ring cameras in the area picked up Jason's final steps
Speaker 1: as he walked along the suburban streets. A wide scale
Speaker 1: search was coordinated through the new year, but there were
Speaker 1: very few leads. Witnesses are call seing Jason walking along
Speaker 1: the train tracks near his home. He left behind his wallet,
Speaker 1: his bone, his Apple watch, so it was hard for
Speaker 1: police to track him. Unfortunately, on March eighteenth of this year,
Speaker 1: the search sadly came to an end. During a planned
Speaker 1: search of Lake Kawana, Poet Jason's body was recovered. The
Speaker 1: medical examiner later determined that there was no foul play
Speaker 1: involved and that Jason had drowned. They postulated that he
Speaker 1: may have suffered from hypothermia due to the frigid conditions
Speaker 1: here in Massachusetts in December. Now, Jason's widow is adamant
Speaker 1: that there's no foul play either. Christins states her husband
Speaker 1: was deeply depressed and troubled by his parents' passing, although
Speaker 1: others are on line aren't so convinced.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Jason may not have links to the JPL or nuclear
Speaker 1: industry like the others, but it's hard to ignore the similarities.
Speaker 1: A top scientist just up and leaves his home in
Speaker 1: the middle of the night. His body is found, and
Speaker 1: no foul play is suspected. And just wanted to add here,
Speaker 1: if you are feeling depressed lonely, reach out. There are
Speaker 1: people out there willing to listen to you. Next, we
Speaker 1: have nu No Luario, Forty seven year old nu No Luario,
Speaker 1: originally from Portugal, have been making ways ever since landing
Speaker 1: in the US. Nuno had obtained his PhD in physics
Speaker 1: from Imperial College, London and set his sights high. In
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, after working at different labs around the world,
Speaker 1: Nuno accepted the job at MIT, teaching plasma fusion in
Speaker 1: dynamics without making things too complex. Magnetized plasma dynamics and
Speaker 1: fusion power could lead us to.
Speaker 2: Finding ways to combat climate change.
Speaker 1: This fusion power could be clean if we first understand
Speaker 1: fusion vacuums within space. New note was well liked by
Speaker 1: everyone at MIT, and in twenty twenty four he was
Speaker 1: appointed the director of MIT's Plasma Science and Fusion Center.
Speaker 1: During his time at MIT, Nuno had also taught in
Speaker 1: the Nuclear Science department, thus giving us.
Speaker 2: Our vital link.
Speaker 1: Now things were going well for Nuno, and he had
Speaker 1: even been acknowledged by the government for his contributions. Then
Speaker 1: on December fifteenth, twenty twenty five, ten days away from Christmas,
Speaker 1: everything changed. At around eight thirty pm, shots rang out
Speaker 1: from the lobby of an apartment block in Brookline, Massachusetts.
Speaker 1: Nuno had been shot. Witnesses told police they heard three
Speaker 1: loud bangs and they thought someone was trying to kick
Speaker 1: in the door. Nobody saw the assailant just Nuno laying there. Sadly,
Speaker 1: despite paramedics and doctor's best efforts, Nuno did not survive.
Speaker 1: He left behind a wife and three children, and his research.
Speaker 1: The shooting made local news. However, Nuno's demise was overshadowed
Speaker 1: by another tragedy that happened two days earlier. On December thirteenth,
Speaker 1: a lone gunm and entered Brown University in Rhode Island
Speaker 1: and opened fire on students. Two people lost their lives
Speaker 1: that day, with countless others injured. As far as he
Speaker 1: official record goes, the lone gunman, Claudio Manuel Nevis Valente,
Speaker 1: ended himself. But here's where things get strange. Claudio was
Speaker 1: Portuguese like Nuno. This coincidence was too hard for investigators
Speaker 1: to ignore, so they began digging deeper. As I've said,
Speaker 1: according to the official record, Claudio was found de ceased,
Speaker 1: surrounded by two weapons and plenty of AMMO. Investigators tested
Speaker 1: the weapons found, and here's their official conclusion. One of
Speaker 1: the guns found was linked to the Brown University shooting viabilistics.
Speaker 1: The other weapon was linked to the death of Nuno,
Speaker 1: again viabilistics. As per the privateist journal. DNA testing was
Speaker 1: also undertaken, but this only linked Claudio Valente to the
Speaker 1: Brown University shooting. Now, Claudio Valente used two separate guns
Speaker 1: for two separate attacks. The two weapons were crossed reference,
Speaker 1: but the gun used at Brown did not match the
Speaker 1: gun from Nuno. Now this is where things border into
Speaker 1: conspiratorial territory. It is possible that Claudio Olent they bought
Speaker 1: two identical pistols, but it also seems odd As far
Speaker 1: as the investigation went, with the discovery of Claudia and
Speaker 1: his cash, the murder of Nuno had been solved. That
Speaker 1: was until April of this year, when the FBI announced
Speaker 1: they were looking into the shooting. If the case had
Speaker 1: been solved and conclusively linked to a lone guman, why
Speaker 1: would the FBI reopen the case. Perhaps they're doing it
Speaker 1: as a process of elimination. Nuno was a respected scientist
Speaker 1: who had worked in and around nuclear technologies, so it
Speaker 1: makes sense for them to reopen it. But without an
Speaker 1: official explanation, things do seem very strange. Next up we
Speaker 1: have Carl Grillmayer. The penultimate case is that of Carl
Speaker 1: Grimer Barn in Canada. Carl had always been fascinated by astronomy,
Speaker 1: so when his time in high school was up, he
Speaker 1: decided to pursue his passion. By the nineteen nineties, Carl
Speaker 1: had obtained his doctorate in physics, studying globular clusters in space.
Speaker 1: In the nineties and into the two thousands, Carl worked
Speaker 1: at the Place other places, including NASA. He spent many
Speaker 1: years behind the telescope, running calculations and inputting data. By
Speaker 1: the twenty tens, Carl had accepted a job at cal Tech.
Speaker 1: Although much of the work he did there was in
Speaker 1: collaboration with NASA, those who knew Carl said he was
Speaker 1: well respected and regarded within the industry, and he had
Speaker 1: mentored many budding students. His work also led him to
Speaker 1: discover water on exoplanets, planets that sit outside of our
Speaker 1: Solar system. Now this work was vital, as it gave
Speaker 1: NASA not only hope, but the tools and calculations to
Speaker 1: hopefully find water on planets within the Milky Way. Carl's
Speaker 1: bright career came to a halt on February sixteenth, twenty
Speaker 1: twenty six, as he stepped out of his home for
Speaker 1: another day at the telescope. The sixty seven year old
Speaker 1: was shot once in the stomach. Neighbors heard the commotion
Speaker 1: and rushed to his aid.
Speaker 2: But it was too late.
Speaker 1: He just pronounced doa and the investigation began. Cal Tech
Speaker 1: and the wider science community rallied together to remember Carl
Speaker 1: and equally wanted to be served.
Speaker 2: It didn't take.
Speaker 1: Long for police to track down the perpetrator, twenty nine
Speaker 1: year old Freddy Snyder. Snyder had been picked up by
Speaker 1: the police on an underlated charge and the case unraveled
Speaker 1: from there. Unfortunately, the entire case has been kept under wraps,
Speaker 1: a common theme. Snyder has recently been charged with murder,
Speaker 1: but there's no news as to his court date. Neither
Speaker 1: the police nor the media has released a motive, which
Speaker 1: has left a lot of room for online speculation. As
Speaker 1: we know. In April this year, the FBI announced their
Speaker 1: own investigation, and Carl's case has been added into the
Speaker 1: mix the online chatter. Carl's widow divulged what was going
Speaker 1: on in his last few weeks of life. According to her,
Speaker 1: a few months before Carl's demise, a man had trespassed
Speaker 1: under their property. The man had also been trespassing the
Speaker 1: nearby homes, and Carl confronted him. She also claims that
Speaker 1: Carl hadn't been the one to call the police on
Speaker 1: this man, but for some reason, the trespasser blamed him. Additionally,
Speaker 1: two weeks before Carl was shot, the man returned to
Speaker 1: their home with a baseball bat threatening Carl. Missus Grillmer
Speaker 1: and the police believed that Freddy Schneider was the very
Speaker 1: trespasser and that he returned a third and final time
Speaker 1: to allegedly do away with Carl. As of now, the
Speaker 1: cases with the FBI, although the original police believed their
Speaker 1: case is closed. As it stands, Freddy Snyder's actions are
Speaker 1: alleged and he's due before court at any time. Finally,
Speaker 1: we have William Neil McCasland. The final case on the
Speaker 1: FBI's docket is that of sixty eight year old Major
Speaker 1: General William Neil mccaslan. William, like everyone on this list,
Speaker 1: was incredibly intelligent and had many accolades to his name.
Speaker 1: He obtained a PhD in astronautical engineering from MIT before
Speaker 1: attending Air War College. Over his career, he worked at
Speaker 1: several Air Force bases across the country, focusing on aerospace research.
Speaker 1: He was privy to many state secrets and in two
Speaker 1: thousand and seven, he was assigned to the Pentagon. His
Speaker 1: assignment came with a very high clearance, making him a
Speaker 1: prime target for a rival nation. His final position was
Speaker 1: to be at the right Patterson Air Force Base, for
Speaker 1: he directed weapons research in association with the Department of Defense.
Speaker 1: After he retired from the Army, William took a job
Speaker 1: with a defense company in Arlington, Virginia. In early twenty
Speaker 1: twenty six, William's colleagues noticed a change in him. He
Speaker 1: was once a bright and intelligent man, but now he
Speaker 1: seemed troubled. He confided in a few colleagues that he
Speaker 1: was suffering from a mental fog, but before he could elaborate,
Speaker 1: he disappeared. On February twenty seventh of this year, William
Speaker 1: walked out of his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and
Speaker 1: never returned. When his disappearance was reported, police found his phone, glasses,
Speaker 1: and wearable devices still in his home. Troublingly, his hiking boots, wallet,
Speaker 1: and a revolver were also missing. The subtext was clear,
Speaker 1: and investigators knew they needed to find it. The initial
Speaker 1: search was huge, spreading out in the New Mexico desert.
Speaker 1: Specialist teams called National parks in other areas, but there
Speaker 1: was just no sign of it. Police also revealed that
Speaker 1: William was suffering from an unspecified illness and issued a
Speaker 1: silver alert. Despite the wide scale seart set in place,
Speaker 1: no sign of William has ever been found. Now, with
Speaker 1: the things that were missing, it's easy to follow the
Speaker 1: investigators trying of thought. Given how large and empty parts
Speaker 1: of New Mexico are, he may never be found. As
Speaker 1: of the writing of this video, investigators have not released
Speaker 1: whether William left behind a note or anything to explain
Speaker 1: his disappearance. William's story doesn't end here, though. In twenty sixteen,
Speaker 1: the Podesta emails were leaked to the public via Wiki leagues,
Speaker 1: and William mccasly's name was mentioned, specifically regarding an email
Speaker 1: sent by Blink one two singer Tom DeLong. Tom Delong's
Speaker 1: involvement in UFO's is well known by now, but why
Speaker 1: was William's name there well. According to the emails, Tom
Speaker 1: devulged that he'd been working with William for four months.
Speaker 1: Here's a snippet verbatim quote. He is very very aware.
Speaker 1: He was in charge of all the stuff. When Roswell crashed.
Speaker 1: They shipped out to the laboratory at right. Patterson General
Speaker 1: mcasland was in charge of that exact laboratory up to
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. He's a very important man
Speaker 1: end quote. Now the emails released by a WikiLeaks are
Speaker 1: the only solid proof linking the pair together. William's wife,
Speaker 1: Susan told the media quote he once had classified information,
Speaker 1: but had been retired for thirteen years. It seems quite
Speaker 1: unlikely that he was taken to extract very dated secrets
Speaker 1: from him. He'd not have any special knowledge about the
Speaker 1: et bodies and debris from the Roswell crash end quote.
Speaker 1: The search for William continues, with the FBI now joining
Speaker 1: the fold. The emails do certainly paint a picture, but
Speaker 1: those who knew William had debunked any sort of involvement
Speaker 1: with the UFO community. Only time and hard evidence will
Speaker 1: tell if there's any credence to these claims.
Speaker 2: Well, now that.
Speaker 1: We've covered all the missing and murdered scientists, I'd like
Speaker 1: to briefly touch on some of the abundant theories.
Speaker 2: The cases made.
Speaker 1: Headline news, and many are worried that something troubling is
Speaker 1: going on with the American scientists. It certainly isn't outside the
Speaker 1: reman possibilities that someone is going after them. After all,
Speaker 1: think back just a few decades to the Cold War.
Speaker 1: Both the Americans and the Russians were sending spies and
Speaker 1: having double agents try to penetrate the depths of the government.
Speaker 1: It would be very naive of us to think that
Speaker 1: this couldn't be happening again. All these people mentioned today
Speaker 1: either had clearance or worked in industries that are vital
Speaker 1: to the defense and improvement of the US. Now there
Speaker 1: are around seven hundred thousand people within the United States
Speaker 1: who have top level clearance in the nuclear, defense or
Speaker 1: aerospace industry. So far, at least eleven of them have
Speaker 1: either disappeared or perished under mysterious circumstances. Many other cases
Speaker 1: with this pattern too, that are not currently under FBI investigation. Now,
Speaker 1: this is a disturbing pattern, and if the pattern continues,
Speaker 1: then it will become harder for the FBI to deny
Speaker 1: that something strange is afoot. However, for the sake of balance,
Speaker 1: I'd also like to look at the flip side. Mick West,
Speaker 1: an established writer who deals with conspiracy theories, did the math.
Speaker 1: He calculated that sample of seven hundred thousand, taking into
Speaker 1: account the average mortality rate. According to him, we would
Speaker 1: expect to see four thousand deaths, seventy homicides, and one
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty by their own hand in those seven
Speaker 1: hundred thousand people. Now, this is of course a controlled test,
Speaker 1: taking into account averages. Unfortunately, many scientists do opt out.
Speaker 1: Like the rest of the population. Incredible intelligence also brings
Speaker 1: with it other issues. You only need to look at
Speaker 1: gifted musicians to see that this level of talent does
Speaker 1: indeed have a.
Speaker 2: Darker, more trouble side.
Speaker 1: Many online subscribe to the belief that something is going on, though,
Speaker 1: and honestly it's not hard to disagree. You have several
Speaker 1: scientists dying, with some saying they have no intent to
Speaker 1: do it themselves, and there are a few others who
Speaker 1: wonder out of the word wilderness, never to be seen again,
Speaker 1: and a few more who were shot by mystery perpetrator
Speaker 1: right on their very doorstep. In isolation, these events seem
Speaker 1: like random tragedies that will eventually get lost in the
Speaker 1: twenty four to seven news cycle. In tandem, they show
Speaker 1: a pattern. The FBI's public involvement has only driven up
Speaker 1: these beliefs too. The FBI has refused to devote specifics,
Speaker 1: especially in cases that are now a few years old,
Speaker 1: So why are they investigating them together? Is there something
Speaker 1: that the public doesn't know? Most likely, some of the
Speaker 1: scientists' families have condemned the media circus, sending the theories only
Speaker 1: compound their grief. Many other scientists have stated that the
Speaker 1: case has given them a great deal of anxiety, not
Speaker 1: just over themselves, but they're families to the main question
Speaker 1: is whether these eleven scientists are all working on a
Speaker 1: specific project, did they have information about something specific, and finally,
Speaker 1: who could be targeting them? So far, no nations have
Speaker 1: claimed responsibility, although they would be unlikely to do so
Speaker 1: unless they were prepared for all out war. The discussion
Speaker 1: surrounding the case is interesting and there are certainly many theories.
Speaker 1: I look forward to your comments, but please remember to
Speaker 1: remain respectful to the scientists and their families while discussing
Speaker 1: these cases.
Speaker 2: You never know who will be in the comments.
Speaker 1: Until the FBI concludes their investigation, theories will continue to spread.
Speaker 1: Perhaps in a few months we'll have an update. Till then,
Speaker 1: we're all left to form our own conclusions.
Speaker 2: In the absence of evidence.
Speaker 1: Again, thank you for listening with an open mind. I'm
Speaker 1: Steve Stockton. I'll see you a little further on down
Speaker 1: the trail. Here your animals, I said hi,
