Frank Rudolph Olson
Birth: 1910, USA
Death: Nov. 28, 1953
New York
New York County
New York, USA

Controversial death. He was a scientist at the Central Intelligence Agency top secret Operations Division at Fort Detrick, where he developed bioweapons. It is said that he knew too much and was assassinated by being dropped from a hotel window after having been given the drug LSD without his knowledge in a mind control experiment. The initial reports were that he had been depressed and committed suicide, but after years of probing, his family received an official apology from President Gerald Ford. Although no charges were ever filed, a homicide case was finally opened in 1996 by a Manhattan district attorney.  (bio by: Elizabeth Reed)

I saw the same program as Bonnie and in awe but not shocked or amazed. I do recall of hearing about this in the past. it's no wonder people are skeptical about our own government on a wide range of things including UFO's and ancient aliens.

Just watched a show about your death. It's really scary to think that was done to you! I consider you an American hero, honored Sir. I am so sorry for your family- and wish them peace. I pray you have peace and joy in Heaven.
