"The FBI is spearheading the effort to look for connections into the missing and deceased scientists. We are working with the Department of Energy, Department of War, and with our state and local law enforcement partners to find answers."
"If the reports are accurate, these deaths and disappearances may represent a grave threat to U.S. national security and to U.S. personnel with access to scientific secrets."
"President Trump told reporters last week that he had been briefed on the missing and dead scientists, which he described as 'pretty serious stuff.' He said at the time that he expected answers on whether the deaths were connected, 'in the next week and a half.'"
The FBI has initiated a broad investigation into the deaths and disappearances of at least 10 scientists connected to sensitive research, including four from the Los Angeles area. This effort involves collaboration with various federal and local agencies. The House Oversight Committee is also probing these incidents, expressing concerns about potential threats to national security. Notable cases include the deaths of Michael David Hicks and Frank Maiwald, both associated with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, with undisclosed causes of death.
