Marjorie Taylor Greene fueled fresh speculation after pointing to a string of mysterious deaths and disappearances involving scientists tied to sensitive U.S. programs, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The outspoken former lawmaker took to X to question why the cases haven't received the same level of media attention as other high-profile missing persons stories.
Lack of Coverage for Anything Except Nancy Guthrie
MTG compared it to the heavy coverage of Nancy Guthrie's case.
Greene wrote: "Remember when it was wall-to-wall coverage of missing Nancy Guthrie like the media could not talk about anything else?"
The case of Nancy, 84 — who has been missing from her Arizona home since February 1 — has dominated headlines, with intense, round-the-clock coverage as authorities and the public search for answers.
"There are 11 missing or dead or suicided scientists all linked to space or military programs, and the FBI just now opened a 'probe,'" she added.
Greene claimed scientists tied to U.S. programs have died or vanished.
Scientists Dead or Missing Across the U.S.
The FBI is now investigating possible links between the incidents.
According to CNN, at least 10 individuals connected to nuclear and aerospace research have died or vanished in recent years.
Among them: a nuclear physicist and MIT professor fatally shot outside his Massachusetts home, a retired Air Force general missing from New Mexico and an aerospace engineer who disappeared during a hike in Los Angeles.
The unsettling pattern has raised questions about whether the incidents could be linked, though authorities have not confirmed any connection.
FBI Launches Probe as Concerns Grow
Officials said no confirmed connection between the cases has been found.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation confirmed it is "spearheading the effort to look for connections into the missing and deceased scientists," working alongside federal and local agencies.
FBI Director Kash Patel said investigators are digging into whether the cases involve "connections to classified access... or foreign actors."
He noted, "If there's any connections that lead to nefarious conduct or conspiracy, this FBI will make the appropriate arrest."
Meanwhile, the Republican-led House Oversight Committee has launched its own investigation, warning the reports "raise questions about a possible sinister connection."
