NewsNation, "Amy Eskridge's father denies her death is suspicious amid scientist probe" (Nancy Loo, updated 20 Apr 2026)

URL: https://www.newsnationnow.com/space/ufo/father-dead-scientist-denies-suspicious/ [web] - Reports she "died by suicide in 2022 in Huntsville"; "she worked closely with her father, a former NASA employee who declined to be interviewed but said he does not think her death was suspicious"; quote: "Scientists die also, just like other people." - Context: a 2026 cluster of stories about dead or missing scientists; congressional attention (Rep. Eric Burlison). - Bears on claim 6: her father, the person closest to her work, does not support the suspicion narrative. He is also her collaborator; his statement is his.

Wikipedia, "Missing scientists conspiracy theory"

URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_scientists_conspiracy_theory [web] - Table row: Amy Eskridge, deceased (suicide), 2022-06-11; "Eskridge's death was investigated by Birmingham, Alabama police and ruled a suicide"; a family postmortem statement (chronic pain). Note: other sources place the death in Huntsville and the Sentinel article names the Madison County Sheriff; "Birmingham" may be an error in Wikipedia (not checked).

CNN, 21 Apr 2026 (Google snippet only)

"Deaths and disappearances of scientists spark federal probe": family statement to CNN that she was "a marvelously intelligent person" who suffered from "chronic pain" [web: https://edition.cnn.com/2026/04/21/ (snippet)]. WSJ 25 Apr 2026 quotes the family: scientists "die also" [web: snippet].

The Sentinel Network, "THE GARRISON" (Substack, 30 Apr 2026)

URL: https://thesentinel.network/p/the-garrison-nasa-ran-anti-gravity [web] Interested party / framing: a self-described investigative Substack with a suppression thesis. Its factual statements below are its own; some are checkable. - Cites Li, Noever, Robertson, Koczor and Brantley, Physica C (Aug 1997), "Static test for a gravitational force coupled to type II YBCO superconductors": the MSFC static test did not reproduce Podkletnov's 0.05-2.1% effect [web; paper not opened]. - Ning Li struck by a vehicle on the UAH campus in 2014, permanent brain damage; died 2021 [web]. - Institute for Exotic Science registered in SAM, entity ID FTWBFXR1NE21, 17 Dec 2018, Amy as President, business address Joppa, Alabama [web; not verified at SAM.gov]. - Says Richard Eskridge "participated in a Marshall technical evaluation" of POAMS in 2014, but expands POAMS wrongly ("Phase-locked Oscillator Anomalous Momentum Synthesis"); the NASA TM says Pope-Osborne Angular Momentum Synthesis [read: TM title]. Treat its details with that error in mind. - States the Madison County Sheriff's Office has not released a public investigative report; the Institute website went offline shortly after June 2022 (Wayback shows only robots.txt/favicon captures in Dec 2021-Jan 2022, see wayback note).

Huntsville Business Journal, "Uncovering the mystery of Huntsville's brilliant anti-gravity scientist" (Noah Logan, 30 Jul 2023)

AC Gravity's business license was renewed an[nually through 2018]" (Google snippet completes "through 2018, but ..."); "She passed away on July 27, 2021" [web]. - Bears on Amy's 2018 statements that AC Gravity is "still registered" and that Li's fate is unknown [read: lecture 00:17:14-00:18:16]: in Dec 2018 the licence was indeed still being renewed (true as of 2018 by this source); Li was alive then, impaired since 2014 (Sentinel), and died 2021.
