yet another microbiologist dies in mysterious circumstances
Bizarre stabbing death of professor has Missouri campus stunned, baffled
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Friends recall Jeong Im as smart, quiet, dignified and friendly, as eager to mentor a student as to share vegetables from his home garden, the kind of person prized in academic halls and cozy neighborhoods. That's why last week's stabbing death of the 72-year-old Im, a semiretired protein chemist who studied by candlelight as a young man in Korea, has stunned the University of Missouri-Columbia. Im's body was found Friday afternoon in the trunk of his burning car on the third floor of a university parking garage. It was the first homicide reported at the campus since the late 1980s, said University of Missouri Police spokesman Capt. Brian Weimer. Police have released a composite sketch of a person of interest, wearing a hood and the type of oval face mask used by painters, but there have been no arrests - and thus no answers for a baffled community. "Everybody is shocked. This was a gentle man. He loved classical music, spoke softly and was so warm inside," the Rev. Chang Yul Lee of Columbia's Korean Baptist Church, who officiated at Lee's memorial service, said in an interview Wednesday. "How can this happen?" Lee asked. "I mean, this is Columbia. Quiet, peaceful college town. This doesn't happen here. Right?" Not usually. But there has been a violent start to the year in Columbia, home to three colleges, where boosters promote consistent rankings atop lists of most livable places. Aside from Im's slaying, two Columbia police officers were wounded, one critically, this week during separate confrontations with the same gunman, who later fatally shot himself in a residential neighborhood. The facts of that case are clearer, but that's not so in the slaying of Im, who joined the University of Missouri-Columbia as a research professor in 1987 after teaching and research positions at schools including Harvard, Boston University, Ohio State and Cornell. "We have a safe campus, but we are still not immune from potential crimes," Weimer said. "This of course causes us to re-evaluate procedures and safety and talk to people on campus to reassure them." Authorities were alerted to the lunch-hour car fire by a call from an emergency phone in a garage stairwell. The person reporting the fire isn't a suspect, Weimer said. Once the fire was put out - most of the vehicle was undamaged - Im's body was found in the trunk. An autopsy revealed the stab wounds, and university police called in the Mid-Missouri Major Case Squad, an investigative body with personnel drawn from several law enforcement agencies. There were no security cameras in the part of the garage where Im customarily parked, but detectives have studied video from campus cameras nearby, Weimer said. Investigators want to question a man who was seen in the garage, a "person of interest," not necessarily a suspect. The man is between 6 feet and 6-foot-2, with a thin build. He wore "some type of painter's mask or drywall mask," and had the hood of a sweatshirt or jacket pulled over his head, Weimer said. The person is believed to have been carrying a gas can. Survivors include Im's wife of more than 30 years and adult twin daughters. His memorial service Tuesday at a local funeral home, spoken in English and Korean, was full of mourners "all asking why and having no answers," said Kim Wise, a professor emeritus who worked on research teams with Im for more than a decade. "Everybody in the community is just baffled by this event. It doesn't make any sense. Certainly, nothing we worked on academically was so sensitive or mysterious that it would lead to violence," Wise said. "And to contemplate random acts of violence - well, we are all so unsettled about it." http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansas...l/10628417.htm http://www.metafilter.com/mefi/38629 The sudden and suspicious deaths of 11 of the world's leading microbiologists.

wow. that's something right out of a dirk pitt novel. has anybody tried to tie them together through their work, like are they working on the same or similar things? i heard yesterday darpa's trying to come up with an aphrodisiac chemical weapon that will create irresistible sexual attraction among troops on the battlefield. a gay bomb in other words. maybe some evil fundamentalists with shaky sexual issues are sabotaging the effort lest it gets out of control and turns them all into full mos. or something.

http://www.markswatson.com/deadmicros.pdf you'd think, in this age of hypersensitive bioterrorism fears, that the Feds would find this of interest. of course, since the Feds are the ones manufacturing the hypersensitivity in the first place, one could conclude that they are far more aware of it than we might know. makes you wonder where it fits into our bogus "war on terror" ? |

You guys are so behind the times with your conspiracy crap; it's gray goo making nanobots now. Microbiologists are expendable has-beens. Let's get up to date here.

Been keeping track of this for some time now, ever since Nguyen Van Set's rather bizarre death. As interesting as it may be (and as relevant as it may be in these times of bio-terror obsession), I can't help but wonder whether this is merely relavence attained by focussed attention.
Wonder how many 'leading' cancer specialists (or a speciality with equivalent population) have died 'suspiciously' world wide over the past three years?

Things that make you go hmmmmmmmm
Author Theorizes 40 Microbiologists Killed Before Unleashing "The Ultimate Epidemic"
Author Steve Quayle alleges that 40 microbiologist have died under suspicious circumstances in the last four years -- most of them specializing in vaccines and bio-weapons research. The deaths include stabbings, drownings, plane crashes and hit-and-run crashes. Some were ruled suicides. There’s only been several who’ve died of ‘natural’ causes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Israeli agents killed 310 Iraqi scientists since 2003 A seminar in Cairo on Iraqi affairs concluded that more than 310 Iraqi scientists perished at the hands of Israeli secret agents in Iraq since the fall of Baghdad to US troops in April 2003, according to a report in the Information Clearing House. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Israel Developing Biological Weapons Targeting Only Arabs In its Sunday issue, the British daily "Sunday Times" said that Israel is embarking on developing biological weapons which can affect people according to their ethnic affiliation. The paper reported that Israeli scientists are trying to exploit medical discoveries in order to diagnose "distinctive genes" relating to Arabs and develop according to these genes "microorganisms" that can attack those who carry these "distinctive genes" apart from others through transforming the "DNA system" inside the human cells. |
