Classified-Researcher Deaths Review (2025-26)

2025

An ongoing 2025-26 White House / FBI review (with NNSA involvement) reported by Fox News, Newsweek, NBC and others, examining a "string" of dead or missing people with access to classified aerospace and nuclear research. Named in coverage: anti-gravity researcher Amy Eskridge, MIT Plasma Science & Fusion Center director Nuno Loureiro (murdered December 2025), retired AFRL commander Maj. Gen. William "Neil" McCasland (reported missing), and several NASA- and Los Alamos-linked staff. Important caveat: every mainstream source states there is no publicly available evidence linking the cases and that authorities have not asserted a connection between them.
