This Feels Criminal: A True Crime Podcast (Formerly Killer Queens)12 Mai

Missing Scientists: She Predicted Her Own Death. Then It Happened. | Pt. 1

A plasma physicist texted a former spy: "If you ever see a report that I killed myself — I most definitely did not." Then that's exactly what the report said.

In under eight weeks, one Substack post turned into a White House briefing, an FBI probe, and a House Oversight Committee inquiry. The story: 11 deaths and disappearances of US government-connected scientists. But is it a pattern — or a story about how the internet decides what gets investigated?

Tyrella and Nikita go case by case through every name on the list, separating what's verified from what's speculation, and noting which families have asked to stay out of the conspiracy framing entirely.

Part 2 out now for Patrons.
