NEW: eleventh Scientist Linked To Chilling Sample Of Lacking, Lifeless Officers With Entry To US Secrets and techniques
The 2022 death of Amy Eskridge, a Huntsville, Alabama-based researcher, is surging back into the spotlight as the latest case tied to a growing list of scientists and officials who have died or disappeared under unusual circumstances.
Online sleuths and watchdog accounts are now labeling Eskridge the 11th name in a string of cases involving people connected to U.S. military, nuclear and aerospace work. Officials have not confirmed any link between the incidents, but the overlap in timing and the sensitive research backgrounds has fueled fresh scrutiny.
President Donald Trump addressed the mounting questions Thursday, saying he had “just left a meeting” on the issue and promised answers soon, calling it “pretty serious.”
“I hope it’s random, but we’re going to know in the next week and a half,” Trump told reporters.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Friday the administration is taking a broad approach, coordinating with federal agencies and the FBI to review the cases for any possible common threads.
“In light of the recent and legitimate questions about these troubling cases and President Trump’s commitment to the truth, the White House is actively working with all relevant agencies and the FBI to holistically review all of the cases together and identify any potential commonalities that may exist,” Leavitt said.
“No stone will be unturned in this effort, and the White House will provide updates when we have them.”
Eskridge died June 11, 2022, in Huntsville at age 34, according to obituary records. Her death has been reported as a self-inflicted gunshot wound, though few official details have been made public.
Eskridge co-founded the Institute for Exotic Science and described her work as focused on experimental propulsion concepts, including what she referred to as “antigravity” research. In a 2020 interview with YouTuber Jeremy Rys, she alleged that going public brought blowback.
“We discovered antigravity, and our lives went to (expletive) and people started sabotaging us,” she said. “It’s harassment, threats. It’s awful.
“If you stick your neck out in public, at least someone notices if your head gets chopped off,” Eskridge added. “If you stick your neck out in private, they will bury you. They will burn down your house while you’re sleeping in your bed, and it won’t even make the news.”
In the same interview, she described what she saw as escalating pressure around her work.
“I have to publish because it’s only going to get worse until I publish,” she said, adding that the situation was “getting more and more aggressive.”

Eskridge’s death is now being cited alongside cases involving retired Air Force Maj. Gen. William “Neil” McCasland, NASA scientist Monica Jacinto Reza, Contractor Steven Garcia, astrophysicist Carl Grillmair, MIT physicist Nuno Loureiro, NASA engineer Frank Maiwald, Los Alamos-linked employees Melissa Casias and Anthony Chavez, NASA researcher Michael David Hicks and pharmaceutical scientist Jason Thomas.
The Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration told Fox News Digital it is looking into reports connected to personnel at federal labs and sites.
“NNSA is aware of reports related to employees of our labs, plants and sites and is looking into the matter,” the agency said.
At the same time, there is no publicly available evidence tying Eskridge’s death to the other cases, and authorities have not indicated any connection between her research and the circumstances of her death.
Still, her name has become a lightning rod in alternative-technology circles, where speculation has swirled for years. Those claims remain unverified and are not supported by official findings.
