Which was one of several defense contractors working with Ronald Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative, or Star Wars. As journalists sought out connections between the victims, more unexplained deaths piled up – until as many as 22 deaths were ultimately linked to the so-called “Marconi Mystery.” Help us reach 10k followers on Instagram! @⁠theconspiracypod⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
