Answer · America's missing scientists, 2021–2026
A coordinated campaign by a foreign state or other actor against people with access to US secrets
Some or all of the deaths and disappearances are the work of a coordinated campaign, by a foreign state or another actor, against people with access to US nuclear, space or defence secrets.
Where it stands
Still possibleOne piece of evidence for, five against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.
What it predicts
- The victims had access to related secrets that a foreign service would want.
- Investigators find signs of targeting: surveillance, approaches, tampering, or a shared method across cases.
- The FBI's review or a counter-intelligence finding names an actor.
What would rule it out
- Each case is closed with a local cause and no shared actor.
- The people on the list had no access in common, or no access worth targeting.
