A NASA nuclear scientist died after a fiery crash in a rural Alabama town last year, which at the time caused suspicion among family members.
Joshua LeBlanc, 29, died in a fiery crash in his Tesla on July 22, 2025. The crash happened in Huntsville, Alabama where his Tesla was found burned beyond recognition at about 2:45 in the afternoon, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency told Fox News Digital. The vehicle collided with a guardrail, then several trees, before the vehicle burst into flames.
At 4:32 a.m. on the same day, LeBlanc's family reported him missing, according to KLFY. He uncharacteristically failed to show up to his job as an aerospace technologies electrical engineer at NASA, where he worked on nuclear propulsion projects.
His body was also burned beyond recognition, and police confirmed his identity three days later after his body was transported to the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences.
At the time, his family told KLFY that they feared he had been abducted and that he had left his phone and wallet in his home at the time of the disappearance.
Police tracked LeBlanc down using the data from his Tesla Sentry Mode, and found that his vehicle sat at the airport in Huntsville for four hours on the morning of his death. His family said his trip west was not part of his plan for the day, and that uncharacteristically, he was not communicating with them.
A LinkedIn page for LeBlanc says he worked at NASA for about five-and-a-half years, and that he was a team lead for NASA’s Space Nuclear Propulsion (SNP) Instrumentation and Control (I&C) Maturation. NASA SNP technology "would enable faster and more robust transportation for crew and cargo missions to Mars and science missions to the outer solar system," according to the government agency's...

Is this the 12th scientist?
Not me. I'm paranoid for all the right reasons. They want it to get out, but want to ensure that they can monetize it.
“I blame the Tesla.”
I blame the guy - why buy a car that can be REMOTELY CONTROLLED when you have a sensitive job like did.
I’m going to stick my neck out here and jump straight to a conclusion. Age 29 says it all. Who are those people weaving in and out of traffic all the time (not counting Door Dash drivers)? Young men. At 29 I would expect crazy driving. Also at 29 we are not looking at an Einstein or an Oppenheimer or even a Heisenberg level of nuclear scientist. I doubt he was on the verge of demonstrating cold fusion or anything like that. If he had any knowledge it would not have been his original knowledge. That doesn’t come until much later in life.
Good question. I don’t recognize this person’s name but he died last year. How many more will they reveal over the next few months that died mysteriously in 2025/2026?
Oh, please. You can't "remote control" a Tesla unless you set it up that way. And, if it is in self-drive mode, ANY control input from the driver dis-engages it. He likely bought a Tesla because he was smart enough to choose the right car.
If they can unlock your car, they can track you. It aint just tesla.
It was July 2025 so it was more likely the first or second scientist. (Why are we posting this in April 2026?)
Did the car “burst into flames” or did it “catch fire and burn“? If one were trying to dramatize, the car would burst into flames not allowing for the driver to escape and you can imagine him screaming in agony while trying to get the door open. I think he would probably have been unconscious or maybe he died on impact and the car just started burning. Not as exciting when you are pushing a narrative that UFO people from space are killing earth humans to keep them from getting out the secret.
Raw speculation, perhaps loony: The Chinese think in multi-generational timescales, right?
Can all these strange scientist occurrences be dot-connected to the general field of space travel research? Mars is out there, just waiting for someone to claim it, more or less. (Possession is 9/10ths of the law, we hear)
So what if it doesn’t pay off for a hundred years or 2 or 3. Those people plan ahead.

While these cases have been grouped in media and online discussions due to affiliations with defense, aerospace, or nuclear programs, official sources have not confirmed a pattern or direct connection. Some deaths have clear criminal or personal explanations, while disappearances remain under investigation.
The individuals reported to have disappeared or died under unusual circumstances between 2022 and 2026, many linked to U.S. government or defense-related research, include:
>>> Disappeared (open cases): <<<
William N. McCasland, 68, retired U.S. Air Force Major General and aerospace research leader, missing since February 27, 2026, last seen in Albuquerque, NM.
Steven A. Garcia, 48, nuclear security contractor (DOE/NNSA), missing since August 28, 2025, last seen on foot in Albuquerque.
Monica J. Reza, 60, NASA Jet Propulsion Lab aerospace materials engineer, missing since June 22, 2025, vanished while hiking in California.
Melissa Casias, 53, Los Alamos National Lab administrative assistant with security clearance, missing since June 26, 2025, last seen in Taos County, NM.
Anthony “Tony” Chavez, 78, retired Los Alamos National Lab staff, missing since May 4, 2025, reported May 8 in Los Alamos, NM.
>>> Deceased (closed or partially explained cases): <<<
Nuno Luriero, 47, MIT fusion physicist, shot and killed on December 15, 2025, in Brookline, MA; suspect identified and deceased.
Carl Grillmair, 67, Caltech astrophysicist (NASA-affiliated), shot and killed on February 16, 2026, in Llano, CA; suspect in custody.
Jason Thomas, 45, Novartis pharmaceutical scientist, found dead on March 17, 2026, in a lake; no foul play suspected, ruled accidental drowning.
Frank W. Maiwald, 61, NASA JPL planetary instrumentation engineer, died July 4, 2024, cause listed as unknown, no autopsy performed.
Michael D. Hicks, 59, NASA JPL planetary scientist, died July 30, 2023, no public cause disclosed.
Amy Eskridge, 34, experimental propulsion researcher (Institute for Exotic Science), died June 11, 2022, ruled a self-inflicted gunshot.

I’m going to stick my neck out here and jump straight to a conclusion. Age 29 says it all.
My ‘18 Honda CRV has adaptive cruise control and lane keeping. It practically drives itself especially on interstates. Makes a long road trip much less taxing, but being a geezer I don’t trust it one bit.
So his car sat at the Huntsville airport for 4 hours, but he didn’t get on a plane? What was he doing there? How long after he left the airport and how far from the airport did this accident occur?
“He likely bought a Tesla because he was smart enough to choose the right car.”
If it was the “right car” we wouldn’t have this thread.
The vehicle collided with a guardrail

Sort of like the CIA guys that managed to drive over a cliff . Must have been “brake failure”.
If you die because your electric Tesla caught on fire... That’s not ‘vanishing’... That’s death via fiery combustion caused by a faulty Tesla battery.
Something’s odd with this ‘news’.
Whiskey bottles, brand new cars...oak tree you’re in my way
My 2019 Santa Fe has those same driving features. They are great. I trust them and they disengage easily, as planned.
I thought the CIA are usually the ones behind the mysterious deaths, and not being the victims of their own mysterious death.
