The disappearance of 11 U.S. scientists who were working in nuclear and space related fields has got conspiracy theorists and even the government itself demanding answers. One of those scientists, Amy Eskridge, 34, died in 2022 by apparent suicide. But four years later, newly revealed texts throw doubt over whether or not her death really was a suicide.
Eskridge was a researcher who had been working on anti-gravity technology which could have potentially revolutionized space travel. She and her father, Richard Eskridge founded The Institute for Exotic Science focusing on speculative research. In May of 2022 she was found dead by a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
However, not everyone believes the official narrative. Franc Milburn, a retired British paratrooper and intelligence officer told the Daily Mail that he had been in contact with Skridge prior to her death. He shared the message exchanged between them in which Eskridge predicted her imminent death. In the message she wrote, “If you see any report that I killed myself, I most definitely did not. If you see any report that I overdosed, I most definitely did not. If you see any report that I killed anyone else, I most definitely did not.”
Did Amy Eskridge really kill herself?
That message seems like an awfully odd thing to write for someone who was allegedly planning on killing themselves and it seems Milburn thought so too. He also claimed that he had spoken to Eskridge a mere four hours before her death and that she had told him “Everything’s fine.” She also apparently sent other messages reiterating that “If anything happens to me – suicide or an accident – it wasn’t.”
According to Milburn, Eskridge believed that she was the target of a harassment campaign from an unknown party which involved repeated physical and psychological attacks. Eskridge reported injuries that she claimed to have been caused by a “directed energy weapon.” She sent Milburn pictures that showed burns on her hands, back, neck, and feet.
The scientist expressed her belief that the most likely culprit in this attack was a US-based contractor or company that was trying to prevent her research from going ahead.
Despite this, Richard Eskridge, Amy’s father, claims that there was nothing suspicious about his daughter’s death. “Scientists die also, just like other people,” Richard said, later saying that Amy was a “marvelously intelligent person” but she suffered from “chronic pain.”
Whatever the case, it’s hard to deny that the messages Eskridge supposedly sent to Milburn raise questions about the official narrative surrounding her death. Coupled with the mysterious deaths and disappearances of other U.S. scientists it’s easy to see why people think there may be a conspiracy here.
