Murder In Antartica!
Hello:
The death of an Australian scientist, Rodney Marks, at a U.S. base in Antartica in 2000 was first attributed to natural causes but, when his remains were evacuated to Christchurch in New Zealand, an autopsy confirmed that he had, in fact, been poisoned.
An inquest held in New Zealand in 2006 revealed that the U.S. National Science Foundation, which operates the base, and Raytheon, which also has a presence there, had stonewalled the Kiwi investigation team and that no further progess on the case had been made.
This is the last I heard about it.
Is anyone familiar with this case?
If so, has there been any progress?
Tommy.
P.S. - Just in case you're wondering, I was many thousands of miles from Antartica in 2000!
