, 38. Died November 11 of H1N1. His research focused on improving the preparation of
complex molecules for petrochemical, pharmaceutical or industrial uses. Keith's
advanced and out--of-the-box thinking overturned prior ideas of what is possible
in the chemistry field.

#92

, 63. Died October 12 in an auto collision, wife, Regina, 61, and his mother, Helen, 94,
were also killed in the crash, as was the driver of the other car, Stephen
Krause, 52, of Keene, N.H. Lagakos centered his efforts on several fronts in
the fight against AIDS particularly how and when HIV-infected women transmitted
the virus to their children. In addition, he developed sophisticated methods to
improve the accuracy of estimated HIV incidence rates. He also contributed to
broadening access to antiretroviral drugs to people in developing
countries.

#72: Darwin Kenneth
Vest, born April 22, 1951, was an
internationally renowned entomologist, expert on hobo spiders and other
poisonous spiders and snakes. Darwin disappeared in the early morning hours of
June 3, 1999 while walking in downtown Idaho Falls, Idaho (USA). The family
believes foul play was involved in his disappearance. A celebration of Darwin's
life was held in Idaho Falls and Moscow on the one-year anniversary of his
disappearance. The services included displays of Darwin's work and thank you
letters from school children and teachers. Memories of Darwin were shared by at
least a dozen speakers from around the world and concluded with the placing of
roses and a memorial wreath in the Snake River. A candlelight vigil was also
held that evening on the banks of the Snake River.

Darwin was declared legally dead the first week of March 2004 and now the family is in the process
of obtaining restraining orders against several companies who saw fit to use his
name and photos without permission. His brother David is legal conservator of
the estate and his sister Rebecca is handling issues related to Eagle Rock
Research and ongoing research projects.

Media help in locating Darwin is welcome. Continuing efforts to solve this mystery include recent DNA sampling.

Austrian born Thomas Gold famous over the years for a variety of bold theories
that flout conventional wisdom and reported in his 1998 book, "The Deep Hot
Biosphere," the idea challenges the accepted wisdom of how oil and natural gas
are formed and, along the way, proposes a new theory of the beginnings of life
on Earth and potentially on other planets. Long term battle with heart failure.
Gold's theory of the deep hot biosphere holds important ramifications for the
possibility of life on other planets, including seemingly inhospitable planets
within our own solar system. He was Professor Emeritus of Astronomy at Cornell

lived in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947 when the unexplained object crashed. He
told a woman he worked with in 1977 named 'Kate' while employed by the Navy, who
he helped to clean up the crash site of the 1947 UFO. He subsequently went to
work for the government at this young age and ended up a geneticist working in
China Lake for the Navy. Although he lived in fear and hiding soon after he told
his story to Kate, he retired in late 1990s or early 2000's and she saw him
again once in early 2002 in San Diego. He told her she was in danger to talk to
him and he left the store. In 2003 she received a phone call from his 'friend'
who said he had been executed in his retirement home in Connecticut. The body
had been removed by a black government looking vehicle. The home had been
cleaned up and the body removed without any public notices of his death or
existence. Many disfigured and abnormal animals were found in the desert near
Groom Lake during his time there and after. Kate thought he might have been
doing this gruesome experimental work.

himself. Holzmayer moved to the US from Russia in 1989. Her research focused on
the part of the human molecular structure that could be affected best by
medicine. Holzmayer was focusing on helping create new drugs that interfere with
replication of the virus that causes AIDS. One year earlier, Holzmayer obeyed
senior management orders to fire Huang. Huang appeared from behind the
deliveryman. He shot Holzmayer several times at close range in the chest and
head. As Holzmayer fell in her doorway, Huang ran to a Ford Explorer and drove
away. Less than an hour after the shooting, Huang called his wife, according to
Foster City Police Capt. Craig Courtin. He told her about the shooting and that
he was going to kill himself, then he hung up. Huang's wife called the emergency
services and Foster City police used search dogs to comb the area. They ran into

later in hospital. Found in the street near the laboratory where he worked at
the University of Miami Medical School. Among Dr. Que's friends and family there
is firm belief that Dr. Que was attacked by four men, at least one of whom had a
baseball bat. Dr. Que's death has now been officially ruled "natural", caused by
cardiac arrest. He was a cell biologist, involved in research on aids, oncology
research in the hematology department.

#28: Dr. Vladimer
Pasechnik, age 64. Died: December 23,
2001. Found dead in Wiltshire, England, a village near his home. Two
different dates have been reported: November 21 and December 23. Death ruled
stroke. He had defected from Russia to UK. He had been the #1 scientist in the
FSU's bioweapons program. It was thought he was involved with exhuming the
bodies of the 10 London victims of the 1919 Type A flu epidemic. Pasechnik died
six weeks after the planned exhumations were announced. On November 23, 2001,
Pasechnik's death was reported in the New York Times as having occurred two days
earlier. Pasechnik's death was made in the United States by Dr. Christopher
Davis of Virginia, who stated that the cause of death was a stroke. Dr. Davis
was the member of British intelligence who de-briefed Dr. Pasechnik at the time
of his defection. Pasechnik was heavily involved in DNA sequencing research.
He had just founded a company like three other microbiologists working to
provide powerful alternatives to antibiotics. Dr. Vladimir Pasechnik was the
boss of William C. Patrick III who holds 5 patents on the militarized anthrax
used by the United States. Patrick is now a private biowarfare consultant to
the military and CIA. Patrick developed the process by which anthrax spores
could be concentrated at the level of one trillion spores per gram. No other
country has been able to get concentrations above 500 billion per gram. The
anthrax that was sent around the eastern United States last fall was
concentrated at one trillion spores per gram.

#27: Dr. Don Wiley, age 57. Vanished: December 16,
2001. Molecular Biologist with Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Harvard
University, top Deadly Contagious Virus expert, abandoned rental car was found
on the Hernando de Soto Bridge outside Memphis, TN. He was heavily involved in
research on DNA sequencing, and was last seen at around midnight on November 16,
leaving the St. Jude's Children's Research Advisory Dinner at The Peabody Hotel
in Memphis, TN. Associates attending the dinner said he showed no signs of
intoxication, and no one has admitted to drinking with him. Body found floating
one month later. Workers at a hydroelectric plant in Louisiana found the body
of Don Wiley on Thursday, about 300 miles south of where the molecular biologist
was last seen on Nov. 18 at a medical meeting in Memphis. On January 14, 2002
(almost two months later) Shelby County Medical Examiner O.C. Smith announced
that his department had ruled Dr. Wiley's death to be "accidental"; the result
of massive injuries suffered in a fall from the Hernando de Soto Bridge. Smith
said there were paint marks on Wiley's rental car similar to the paint used on
construction signs on the bridge, and that the car's right front hubcap was
missing. There has been no report as to which construction signs Dr. Wiley
hit.

#26: Dr. Set Van Nguyen, age 44. Died: December 14,
2001. Found dead in the airlock entrance to the walk-in refrigerator in the
laboratory he worked at in Victoria State, Australia. The room was full of
deadly gas which had leaked from a liquid nitrogen cooling system. Room was
vented. Working on a vaccine to protect against biological weapons, or a weapon
itself. In January, 2001, the magazine Nature published information that
two scientists, Dr. Ron Jackson and Dr. Ian Ramshaw, using genetic manipulation
and DNA sequencing, had created an incredibly virulent form of mousepox, a
cousin of smallpox and Dr. Nguyen had worked for 15 years at the same Australian
facility. Now for the intriguing part of this story. On Friday, November 2nd,
