What did I tell you, crime junkies? More answers in the Melissa Cassius case inevitably leads to more questions. But things are getting interesting, so I wanted to bring you some stuff hot off the press. I got a couple of things to hit on, and I'm going to save the strangest for last. So stick with me. So update number one, public pressure and the PI.

There has been a ton of intensity heating up around this case.

A lot has to do with the press attention resulting from Melissa being connected to these missing or dead scientists. which, by the way, not sure if you

clocked this, but at the time we recorded our episode, there was a list of 11, if you included

Melissa. Well, Fox News published an article April 21st about a family who died in a plane

crash just recently. On board was a,

And also his son, who was up and coming in the field, Andrew Moffat. Their plane crashed in South Carolina,

but they were from Huntsville, Alabama, the same city that chemist and entrepreneur Amy Eskridge

called home. Now, Amy's 22 death was ruled a suicide, but she has been grouped in with that lists of

scientists. And before her death, she said in an interview that Huntsville was the biggest deal

you've never heard of. It's home to NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center where Amy's father,

Richard Eskridge, spent his career as an engineer.

He and Amy co-founded a research institute together before she died.

Now, it's worth saying, though, that he told News Nation he does not believe that her death was suspicious.

Though an interview Amy gave a couple of years before her death,

and texts that she supposedly sent in the weeks before she died make it clear that she felt targeted and that her life was in danger.

So that is all blowing up bringing more attention to Melissa's case.

So much so that Agent Mata told us that the FBI had reached out to him given the media attention,

and he's working something out with them for assistance.

But at the same time, there are other driving forces stirring things up.

Namely, the Mondragon family has a PI working on their behalf,
