A former British intelligence officer, Franc Milburn, told NewsNation’s “Elizabeth Vargas Reports” that Eskridge claimed she was struck by a “directed energy weapon” and feared for her life.

Milburn said Eskridge believed she was being targeted for her work in propulsion technology and told him not to believe reports that she had died by suicide if she turned up dead.

NewsNation reported that Eskridge texted, “If you see any report that I killed myself, I most definitely did not. If you see any report that I overdosed myself, I most definitely did not. If you see any report that I killed anyone else, I most definitely did not,” and that Milburn shared the message.

Cybernews likewise said that on June 11th, 2022, Eskridge was found dead in Huntsville, Alabama, from a single gunshot wound to the head, and that authorities ruled it a suicide at the time.

Cybernews also described her as a 34-year-old scientist working on anti‑gravity technology and said she co-founded the Institute for Exotic Science in Huntsville.

International Business Times UK said a resurfaced 2019 video “has reignited” questions after footage appeared to show Eskridge being publicly warned about the dangers of revealing her research.

Hindustan Times added that Eskridge was a UFO researcher working on anti-gravity and that her official cause of death was ruled as a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Across multiple outlets, the central thread tying Eskridge’s death to new speculation is a message dated May 13, 2022, in which she denied suicide, overdose, and harming others.

NewsNation said Milburn shared a text in which Eskridge wrote, “If you see any report that I killed myself, I most definitely did not. If you see any report that I overdosed myself, I most definitely did not. If you see any report that I killed anyone else, I most definitely did not,” and Milburn described the message as part of a set of warnings.

Cybernews likewise said the message, dated May 13th, 2022, reads: “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.” and it added that Eskridge had sent the text to business partner Samuel Reed a month before her death.

Gazeta Express said Milburn published messages he said Eskridge sent him about a month before her death, and it quoted her May 13, 2022 wording: “If you see any reports that I committed suicide, it's not true. If it says I overdosed, it's not true. If it says I killed someone else, it's not true.”

Hindustan Times described the same May 13, 2022 text and said Milburn reported Eskridge spoke about being harassed and intimidated with the objective of “derailing their work.”

The same outlets also tied the harassment claims to alleged “directed energy weapon” attacks and injuries.

NewsNation said Milburn told “Elizabeth Vargas Reports” that Eskridge provided pictures to him of her discolored hands, and it reported that she feared she was being physically and psychologically attacked.

Gazeta Express said Eskridge wrote that a member of her lab, experienced in advanced weapons, was convinced her injuries were caused by a “directed energy weapon,” and it said Milburn published a photo he claimed showed her hands burned and discolored.

Hindustan Times added that Milburn claimed Eskridge shared images with him about burn/red marks on her hands and said, “My ex-CIA weapons guy on my team saw my hands when they were burned really badly a couple months ago, and he saw that window pane in person,” per Daily Mail, as reproduced by Hindustan Times.

While Milburn and others described threats and attacks, the official posture described by NewsNation and Cybernews centers on a suicide ruling and a subsequent federal review.

NewsNation said Eskridge’s death was officially ruled a suicide from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and it reported that “The House Oversight Committee and the FBI are now investigating the cases.”

NewsNation also quoted Andrew Black, former special agent-in-charge at the FBI Tucson, Arizona, office, saying, “The fact that her parents may feel that she did commit suicide doesn’t mean the other things she reported weren’t true,” and adding, “And that’s why it’s great the FBI is investigating this.”

Cybernews stated that the Madison County Coroner officially ruled Eskridge’s death a suicide by a self‑inflicted gunshot wound, and that local police closed the case without further investigation.

Cybernews also said her family rejected conspiracy theories and described her as a “marvelously intelligent person” who suffered from chronic pain, and it said her father Richard Eskridge urged the public not to read too much into the circumstances.

NewsNation reported that Eskridge’s father, a former NASA employee, insisted there is nothing suspicious about her death and told NewsNation, “Scientists die also, just like other people.”

International Business Times UK similarly said Eskridge’s death was ruled a suicide after she was found with a self inflicted gunshot wound, and it said “no official findings have indicated foul play.”

It also quoted the same father’s position, saying he publicly stated that he does not believe there was anything unusual about her death, saying simply that scientists, like anyone else, can face personal struggles.

Hindustan Times added that the discussion has been disputed by UFO enthusiasts and that authorities have not provided public evidence supporting the theory of a crime, while still noting that the case remains under suspicion in online communities.

International Business Times UK said a resurfaced 2019 video “has reignited” questions surrounding Eskridge’s death after footage appeared to show her being publicly warned about the dangers of revealing her research.

The outlet described a research presentation where “two men interrupted,” initially appearing to raise technical concerns, but it said viewers now claim the exchange took a darker tone.

It reported that “viewers now claim” the interaction suggested a warning rather than a debate, and that the men “allegedly implied that if Eskridge chose to go public with her findings, there would be consequences.”

NewsNation, meanwhile, framed Milburn’s account as a belief that Eskridge was being targeted for her work in propulsion technology, and it said Milburn suggested bad actors may have had it in for his friend because Eskridge had been developing technology that threatened conventional rocketry.

Milburn told NewsNation, “If you’re using, still, chemical rockets to go to the moon and you’ve got some young upstart scientist comes along and says, ‘Well, I’ve got a propulsion system that’s like much more efficient,’ then you’re going to lose a lot of money,” and the outlet presented this as part of his explanation for why she might have been targeted.

Cybernews also said a recent video has been unearthed showing Eskridge stating her “hands have been burned to hell and back.”

BollywoodShaadis tied the case to a broader UFO-linked narrative, saying Eskridge had warned publicly that “disclosure is coming out of Huntsville” before she died from apparent suicide.

Gazeta Express said Milburn published messages and that Eskridge expressed fears that her scientific activity on UFOs and advanced technologies was placing her in increasing danger.

Hindustan Times described the 2019 video as part of the divide between those who see warning signs of external pressure and those who view the case through the lens of personal struggle, while also reiterating that the official cause of death was ruled a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Several outlets connect Eskridge’s case to a wider pattern of deaths and disappearances involving U.S. researchers, while also emphasizing ongoing inquiries.

NewsNation said recently the 34-year-old was added to the “highly publicized list of U.S. researchers and scientists with ties to aerospace or defense who have either died or gone missing in the past few years,” and it said “The House Oversight Committee and the FBI are now investigating the cases.”

Cybernews similarly said Eskridge’s name has resurfaced because the FBI and Congress are investigating the deaths and disappearances of at least 11 scientists since 2022, many linked to nuclear, aerospace, or UFO‑related research, and it described her as often listed as the “eleventh” mysterious death.

BollywoodShaadis said Eskridge officially became the 11th UFO-linked scientist to have died under mysterious circumstances, and it tied the probe to the back-to-back deaths of Nick Pope and David Wilcock, while noting that “it remains to be seen whether he becomes the next on the list.”

Hindustan Times said the case has resurfaced amid “the recent cases of UFO researchers dying or going missing,” and it described the Daily Mail reporting exclusive texts in May 2022.

NewsNation also reported that Milburn said he became acquainted with Eskridge on the social media platform X as she was posting anonymously, and that she later revealed her identity and the two continued as “pen pals.”

In terms of what comes next, NewsNation reported that Andrew Black said the FBI investigation is important because “Maybe these things contributed to her taking her life. We don’t know. And that’s why it’s great the FBI is investigating this.”

Cybernews said local police closed the case without further investigation, but it also described the ongoing federal attention.

Gazeta Express said the issue remains and that there has been “no public investigation that would change the authorities' official conclusion,” while still describing Milburn’s private investigation and claims of similar incidents.

Taken together, the sources portray a case where official rulings exist, but new published messages and videos have kept the investigation and public debate active.
