What to know about the missing scientists alarming Congress
"Chairman James Comer and Rep. Eric Burlison sent letters to FBI Director Kash Patel, NASA administrator Jared Isaacman, Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, seeking information on the deaths and disappearances, and the processes and procedures in place to protect American scientific secrets and ensure personnel safety."
"The committee's letter did not cite a specific reason for the investigation, but referenced unconfirmed public reporting on the cases, including the recent disappearance of retired Air Force Maj. Gen. William Neil McCasland."
"All the missing or deceased have connections to the U.S. nuclear and aerospace systems or laboratories. Deepening the mystery are the locations where the deaths or disappearances occurred."
"Michael Hicks, Frank Maiwald, and Monica Reza were all scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California. There is no indication that they worked on the same projects."
