Missing nuclear scientists probe

A growing number of unexplained cases involving high-level US researchers has prompted a coordinated response from federal law enforcement and Congress.

At least eleven scientists connected to sensitive nuclear and space projects have either died or vanished since 2022, according to official reports.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has suggested the pattern may indicate a 'sinister' coordinated effort by adversary nations.

The FBI is currently working to determine if there are direct connections between the individuals and their respective research fields.
