A well-known biophysicist who was one of the leading researchers on DNA sequencing analysis was found slain in his rural Loudoun County home after co-workers became concerned that he didn't come to work Monday, authorities said yesterday.

A microbiologist killed at CSIRO's animal diseases facility in Geelong had logged 15 years' experience with the unit, police said today.

Victoria Police said Set Van Nguyen, 44, appeared to have died yesterday morning after entering an airlock into a storage laboratory filled with nitrogen.

His body was found when his wife became worried after he failed to return from work.

N2 is not deadly, or any more deadly than water.

I would disagree, you go into a large room of nothing but N2
and you won't notice anything wrong with your breathing until it is too late.
The first sympton will be incipient blackout, stars in your head, you have seconds
and if your more than 15 feet in its too late.

Our air is not 90% nitrogen,only about 78%.You don't notice running out of oxygen,you just pass out and die.

I think there is a plan. the government is silly to disregard the traitors info..after all most of the Muslim world knew 9/11 was going to happen..the calender in Holland..and the High school student in NY prove that they do not bother to hide their plans among themselves..

I sure hope the Government is only saying they do not believe this..and that they really do know what is in the works.

I agree, somethings up. These guys turning up dead or missing is making me loads more uncomfortable than just about anything so far.

N2 is not deadly, or any more deadly than water. Our atmostphere is 90+% N2. Granted, we need 02 to live, so he couldn't stay in the area ... but surely he noticed that he was out of breath and couldn't oxygenate himself by breathing in the lab. Instinct would cause one to leave the area. This sounds like he was trapped in there, and murdered.

The suffocation reflex is generated by CO2 not a lack of O2. So, should you enter a room that has no oxygen, you will actually get euphoric before you pass out and die. Not unlike altitude hypoxia.

Basically our intellectual base for combatting disease is being methodically wiped out.

I hate to say it but it appears we're rapidly approaching the unthinkable sooner than later.

The "Ebola Victim Missing" part of the title got my attention.
Now where's the story about that?

Ebola victim disappears from Gabon village, raising fears disease could spread

Yikes. :-(

Art Bell last night ... The Intellectual base for a certain disease ... ebola. Here is what was said on his show: Aeresolized ebola developed by the Russians. Sometime right after Ramadan(sp?). 140 Ebola Infected Camps on the Pakistani Border.

So far there have not been a any unusual of deaths of bio researchers in Southern Middlesex county or Western New London counties of Connecticut but I will be on the lookout in this area and accross the Sound in Eastern Suffolk County. I would also encourage any Freepers in the Atlanta area or in Harford County Maryland to be on the lookout for deaths of disappearences of bio-experts there.

Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown

OK. Somebody help me out here. My husband is a soldier and we're stationed in Germany. In September a Dr. disappeared and now I've heard that we've lost two more out of Heidleburg (sp?) in November. Does anybody know ANYTHING about this? From what I've heard they were all taken from their cars.

Any of this connected with the Clintons? I wonder if they have people doing their dirty work to cover their trail as always! Grassontop

Clinton was having the CIA work on some secret biological attack plans without Congressional knowledge.
