Knowing MU and Columbia, the poor guy probably accidentally said something that someone may have mistaken for a conservative thought. That'll get you killed there in a hurry.

In all seriousness, you hate to see things like that in a smaller community like Columbia. It isn't the teeming metropolis where this sort of thing gets buried in the back pages of the local paper. Hope they catch the animals who did this.

Yes it is. I heard about this story lurking in a chat room. Some were saying that there's a connection between this, and other recent researcher's deaths. (i.e, typical tinfoilery). Reading the article though, I came away believing it was most likely a random act of violence. I decided to post it in the (admittedly remote) hope maybe someone would have some info they could pass along.

May God bless his family during this difficult time.

It caught my eye because one of my girls went to UM and I have some FReeper friends there. I'll ping zip.

:...chairman of the MU department of molecular microbiology..."

Uh oh, another microbiologist dead in suspicious circumstances. Paging Art Bell!

Columbia is not a teeming metropolis but it surely is a violent, thug and dope dealer laden town that is packed full of radical leftists. I used to stay overnight there when traviling west but it got too risky, IMHO.

Does anybody know what sort of research he was working on?

I want to get all conspiratorial, and right now it just looks like he ran into a random scumbag.

I have a good friend who is in the English department there. He's not a liberal, but I suppose he's probably an exception. And come to think of it the university press put an end to a very successful series he edited, probably because it wasn't P.C. enough.

I found him on the faculty roster here, but I can't seem to find any further information about him:

Im was primarily a protein chemist. Mark McIntosh, chairman of the MU department of molecular microbiology and immunology, said he doubted the crime could have been the act of an angry student.

Another microbiologist bites the dust.

I wonder if the "protein" research relates to mad-cow disease.

It appears that others have posted the "death of scientists" theory. It should be a lot play.

Not to mention home of an "Islamic Charity" that the FBI FINALLY raided a few months ago.

My source? Relatives who saw a swarm of agents with FBI jackets entering the
home of the nice (HA!) folks who ran the charity.

I don’t know if the slain researcher was a US citizen or was some other nationality. Taiwanese or Mainlander, or what.

Trivia : Around the time Hoag was committing suicide in early August 2012, this apparently unrelated thing happened...

Michael O’Hanlon — an appointee to the Central Intelligence Agency External Advisory Board under the Obama-Biden administration — visited a Chinese Communist Party-run think tank identified by the U.S. government as conducting “undercover intelligence gathering” operations and seeking to coerce foreign actors into backing the Chinese Communist Party’s “preferred policies.” Also at the Director of the Brooking Institute’s Foreign Policy Research Team and adjunct professor at Georgetown and Columbia Universities, O’Hanlon visited the China Association for International Friendly Contact (CAIFC) on August 23rd, 2012 – the same year his Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) External Advisory Board stint ended.
