Summary

Huntsville, Alabama-based researcher who co-founded the Institute for Exotic Science with her father Richard Eskridge - a retired NASA engineer - to pursue foundational research into anti-gravity and gravity modification technology. She publicly presented her research at the Huntsville Alabama L5 Society in December 2018 and stated in 2020 that she had developed new anti-gravity findings requiring NASA authorization before publication. In the years before her June 2022 death, she claimed on a podcast to have experienced years of escalating threats, a home search, and alleged directed-energy weapon attacks tied to her UAP-adjacent work. Her death was attributed to a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, but no police or medical examiner investigation report has ever been publicly released. She is the only figure in the 2022-2026 cluster of missing or deceased advanced-physics researchers to have been named directly in congressional UAP testimony: journalist Michael Shellenberger testified that she had been 'murdered by a private aerospace company in the U.S. because she was involved in the UAP conversation.'
