A haunting message sent by scientist Amy Eskridge weeks before her death is now drawing renewed attention – and raising fresh questions about what really happened.
Eskridge, 34, died in June 2022. Her death was officially ruled a suicide caused by a self-inflicted gunshot wound. But details that have emerged since then are fueling ongoing speculation that the full story may not be so simple.
According to former British intelligence officer Franc Milburn, Eskridge sent a disturbing text message shortly before she died — one that directly contradicts the official ruling.
“If you see any report that I killed myself, I most definitely did not. If you see any report that I overdosed myself, I most definitely did not. If you see any report that I killed anyone else, I most definitely did not,” the message read, per NewsNation.
Milburn, who had been in contact with Eskridge through social media, said she had grown increasingly concerned for her safety in the weeks leading up to her death.
Amy Eskridge’s final message
Eskridge was working on advanced propulsion technology – research that some believe could have disrupted parts of the traditional aerospace industry. According to Milburn, she believed that work may have made her a target.
He claims Eskridge told him she was being both physically and psychologically attacked, and even shared images showing discoloration in her hands.
She also expressed fears that she was being targeted with what she described as a “directed energy weapon,” telling Milburn she believed she was being actively harmed as part of an ongoing attack.
Federal officials have pointed to Eskridge’s earlier claims of being targeted as a factor worth reviewing as part of the investigation into her death. Still, others close to Eskridge, including Milburn, believe there may be more to her story.
For now, Eskridge’s final message – and the circumstances surrounding her death – continue to fuel debate, leaving many to question whether everything has truly been accounted for.
