Thread: Worlds Top Anti-Virus Microbiologists being killed off

the only point I am making is I WILL NOT TAKE this FLU SHOT ... that's IT

There should be a list of names here..need a link, Sapper.

Another microbiologist murdered

Anyone bothering to keep score these days?

"Im apparently suffered a knife wound to the chest, although he would not disclose whether Im was stabbed before being placed in the trunk of his white Honda or afterward."

Squad seeks tips in death of researcher

A retired research assistant professor at the University of Missouri-Columbia died of multiple stab wounds before firefighters found in his body in the trunk of a burning car Friday.

Boone County Medical Examiner Valerie Rao said after an autopsy that Jeong H. Im, 72, of Columbia was stabbed several times, but she declined to elaborate. MU police yesterday named Im as the victim. His body was found in the trunk of his burning white, 1995 Honda inside the Maryland Avenue parking garage, MU police Capt. Brian Weimer said.

Im was primarily a protein chemist. Mark McIntosh, chairman of the MU department of molecular microbiology and immunology, said he doubted the crime could have been the act of an angry student.

Weimer also asked the public for help in identifying a man - 6 feet to 6 feet, 2 inches tall - who was seen in the garage area wearing some type of mask, possibly a drywall or painter’s mask.

Some recent and assuredly entirely unrelated cases:

December 14, 2004: Police say scientist was poisoned

[While Mullen was a nuclear research scientist rather than a microbiologist, it's worth noting that he lived in Chesterfield, a suburb of St Louis, close to Im's home of Columbia, Missouri. So close, Mullen's murder was also news to The Columbia Tribune:]

A nuclear physicist and former McDonnell Douglas Corp. research scientist who died suddenly last summer was deliberately killed with a massive dose of arsenic, authorities said yesterday in ruling the case murder. An investigator in this St. Louis suburb said recently completed toxicology tests now show that 67-year-old John Mullen died of acute arsenic intoxication June 29, within hours of complaining of an upset stomach at his home. Police Capt. Ed Nestor yesterday refused to publicly divulge many specifics about the matter, including possible suspects or any motive in the divorcee’s death.

April 24, 2004: Scientist found dead outside biochemical firm in Fremont

A research scientist found dead Friday morning in front of the biochemical firm he worked for apparently died after inhaling a combination of potassium cyanide and acid, police said. An employee arriving at Ciphergen Biosystems Inc., 6611 Dumbarton Circle, about 6:20 a.m. found the 29-year-old man, whom he worked with, lying on the sidewalk in front of the west entrance, and immediately called authorities, Sgt. Jeff Swadener said..... Emergency crews evacuated the business Friday morning after employees told them a 25-gram vial or bottle of powder potassium cyanide was missing.... They found the vial in a Dumpster on the other side of the parking lot, Veteran said.

Ciphergen Biosystems had received a NIH grant to fight bioterror-related viruses, and "has a screening technology designed to isolate disease-causing agents that could be used to determine, for example, if anthrax has made a person ill. The company already licenses its ProteinChip System, which analyzes large volumes of proteins from biological samples, to biotech and pharmaceutical companies, as well as the government."
