It\u2019s awful.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you stick your neck out in public, at least someone notices if your head gets chopped off,\u201d Eskridge added. \u201cIf you stick your neck out in private, they will bury you. They will burn down your house while you\u2019re sleeping in your bed, and it won\u2019t even make the news.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the same interview, she discussed the increasing pressure surrounding her work. \u201cI have to publish because it\u2019s only going to get worse until I publish,\u201d she said, adding that the situation was \u201cgetting more and more aggressive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In her presentations and interviews, Eskridge noted that researchers working on unconventional technologies might experience pressure to remove their work from the public domain. She described a pattern where scientists who reported breakthroughs would \u201cdisappear\u201d from public projects or cease publishing their findings.<\/p>\n<p>Fox noted that Eskridge\u2019s death is being cited alongside cases involving retired Air Force Maj. Gen. William \u201cNeil\u201d McCasland, NASA scientist Monica Jacinto Reza, contractor Steven Garcia, astrophysicist Carl Grillmair, Massachusetts Institute of Technology physicist Nuno Loureiro, NASA engineer Frank Maiwald, Los Alamos\u2013linked employees Melissa Casias and Anthony Chavez, NASA researcher Michael David Hicks and pharmaceutical scientist Jason Thomas.<\/p>\n<p>The Department of Energy\u2019s National Nuclear Security Administration told the outlet that the agency is looking into the deaths and disappearances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNNSA is aware of reports related to employees of our labs, plants and sites and is looking into the matter,\u201d a statement from the agency noted.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, there is no publicly available evidence linking the death of Eskridge to other recent cases, and authorities have not indicated any connection between her professional work and the circumstances surrounding her death, said Fox.<\/p>\n<p>Her case has drawn attention in online and alternative technology communities, where some commentators have raised questions about the details. However, those claims remain unverified and are not supported by official findings, the outlet added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; While officials have not confirmed any connection between the cases, the timing and the individuals\u2019 links to advanced research fields have drawn increased public attention and&#8230;
