Missing scientists probe launched

Conspiracy theories have proliferated online regarding the researchers, many of whom were tied to secretive nuclear and anti-gravity defense projects.

While some deaths have been officially ruled as self-inflicted, grieving families have raised concerns about threats the scientists reported before their disappearances.

The White House probe aims to determine if there is a connection between the cases or if they are random occurrences.

Obituaries for the deceased researchers have begun to shed light on their high-level work and the abrupt nature of their deaths.
