Legisladores investigam mortes e desaparecimentos de 11 cientistas

O presidente do Comitê de Supervisão da Câmara, James Comer, afirmou que algo sinistro pode estar por trás das mortes e desaparecimentos de 11 ex-cientistas ligados a informações confidenciais. Ele planeja questionar líderes de agências importantes, incluindo o FBI, a NASA e o Departamento de Energia. O FBI está investigando possíveis vínculos com trabalhos sigilosos ou atores estrangeiros.

James Comer, republicano do Kentucky, disse à Fox News no domingo que seu comitê notificou o Departamento de Guerra, o FBI, a NASA e o Departamento de Energia para compartilhar todos os detalhes sobre os 11 indivíduos afiliados a essas agências. 'Queremos tentar montar esse quebra-cabeça', disse Comer. Ele acrescentou que nações estrangeiras cobiçam o conhecimento nuclear dos EUA, e esses cientistas estavam na vanguarda antes de morrerem ou desaparecerem. A Casa Branca anunciou na semana passada que examinaria os casos, enquanto o presidente Donald Trump expressou a esperança de que sejam eventos isolados. O FBI, sob o comando do diretor Kash Patel, está coordenando com autoridades estaduais e locais para consolidar evidências de homicídios e relatórios de pessoas desaparecidas. 'Vamos reunir tudo em um só lugar', disse Patel à Fox News, observando que os casos variam muito, mas o foco está nas conexões com informações confidenciais ou no envolvimento estrangeiro. Incidentes específicos incluem o desaparecimento da cientista da NASA Monica Jacinto Reza durante uma caminhada em junho de 2025; o astrofísico Carl Grillmair baleado na varanda de sua casa em fevereiro; o físico do MIT Nuno Loureiro morto em sua residência em dezembro de 2025; o Major-General da Força Aérea William McCasland desaparecido de sua casa em Albuquerque em março; o contratado do Kansas City National Security Campus Steven Garcia desaparecido em Albuquerque em 2025; e o cientista farmacêutico Jason Thomas encontrado em um lago em Massachusetts após passar três meses desaparecido.
