Missing US scientists death toll 17, nuclear lab WORKER found skeletonized

Author: iHeartPodcasts and CrimeOnline June 5, 2026 Duration: 59:53

Nancy Grace investigates a chilling pattern of brilliant scientists and national security officials who have mysteriously vanished or turned up dead. From the shocking discovery of the skeletonized remains of Los Alamos nuclear lab worker Melissa Casias in a New Mexico forest, to Amy Eskridge's apparent injuries from directed energy weapon attacks, the panel uncovers disturbing anomalies that defy simple coincidence. Former intelligence officers and forensic experts weigh in on the suspicious fates of whistleblowers like Department of Energy Special Agent Kevin Childress and Air Force Intelligence Officer Matthew Sullivan, both of whom died abruptly just before they were scheduled to deliver classified testimony to Congress. Explore the dark intersections of corporate espionage, advanced aerospace propulsion, and UAP disclosure in an investigation into whether these top-tier minds were silenced because of their knowledge of the world's most sensitive military secrets.
