Welcome to Episode 259: America’s Missing & Murdered Scientists. Why do so many U.S. scientists associated with UFOs, anti-gravity propulsion, and nuclear weaponry keep ending up missing or deceased over the past 4 years? Is it all a coincidence or is something more sinister at play? On this week’s episode of Let’s Get Haunted, we go over the circumstances surrounding the disappearances of Monica Reza, Melissa Casias, Steven Garcia, Anthony Chavez, and William Neil McCasland. Then, we discuss the suspicious deaths of Frank Maiwald, Michael Hicks, Nuno Loureiro, Carl Grillmair, Jason Thomas, Amy Eskridge, Joshua LeBlanc, and Matthew Sullivan. Finally, we examine other countries who’ve experienced similar clusters of missing and murdered scientists over the years, including: China, Iran, the U.K., Germany, and Russia. Are these clusters simply a statistical certainty that only looks suspicious when viewed through the lens of conspiracy? Or does someone - or something - not want the world’s best and brightest innovators looking too closely into alternative energy sources?
