As the House Oversight Committee launches an investigation into the researcher disappearances and deaths, Rep. Eric Burlison, R-Mo., thinks adversaries, such as China, Russia or Iran, could be connected.

Burlison said he’s “worried for the rest of our nation’s scientists” as the disappearances and deaths receive renewed attention.

“These scientists are not hardened. They don’t have a security detail. So they would be a very easy target,” Burlison said of the missing and deceased researchers.
