Gone Dark — Episode 1: They Knew Too Much
from Gone Dark · host Jeff
She was thirty feet behind him. He turned around. She was gone. Monica Reza spent nearly four decades building the rocket engine technology that powers America's most sensitive military satellites. She held a top security clearance. She knew things most people will never be cleared to know. And one morning on a California hiking trail, she simply ceased to exist. She is one of eleven — scientists, engineers, a nuclear weapons contractor, a two-star general — all connected to classified nuclear and aerospace programs, all gone in a four-year window. In this episode we introduce the full list, trace the connections nobody is reporting, and reveal a detail about Monica Reza's disappearance that never made the mainstream news. The pattern is not random. The silence is not accidental. Gone Dark begins here.2 / 2Sonnet 4.6
