A growing number of scientists, military officials, and government contractors with ties to America‘s most sensitive nuclear and space programs have died or disappeared over the past two years. The cases span multiple states and institutions, and while authorities have not officially linked them, the pattern has drawn attention from national security experts, members of Congress, and federal investigators.
The most recent case involves Steven Garcia, 48, a government contractor who walked out of his Albuquerque, New Mexico home on August 28, 2025, carrying only a handgun. He left behind his phone, keys, wallet, and car, and has not been seen since, reports the Daily Mail.
