Famous UFO Researcher David Wilcock Dead from ‘Apparent Suicide’ TWO DAYS After Posting Video Warning About How it’s ‘Scary’ that ‘Scientists Are Going Missing,’ Previously Posted About How He’s Not Suicidal (VIDEO)
April 22, 2026
Prominent UFO researcher, Ancient Aliens personality, and bestselling author David Wilcock was found dead Monday in an apparent suicide outside his home in Boulder County, Colorado.
The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office confirmed in a press release that deputies responded to a 911 call to the 1400 block of Ridge Road, where Wilcock resided, around 10:44 a.m. on April 20, regarding a possible mental health crisis.
When deputies arrived at approximately 11:02 a.m., they encountered a male subject outside a residence holding a weapon.
The man then used the weapon on himself. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The release did not name Wilcock, citing the need to notify next of kin, but many were quick to note that this is the exact block he lived on.
Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna subsequently confirmed Wilcock’s passing on X, writing, “We just learned of the tragic passing of David Wilcock. We are praying for his family and loved ones and the millions of lives he impacted.”
We just learned of the tragic passing of David Wilcock. We are praying for his family and loved ones and the millions of lives he impacted.
Wilcock, 53, was a well-known figure in ufology and alternative research circles. He authored multiple New York Times bestsellers, appeared regularly on the History Channel’s Ancient Aliens, and served as Director of Advanced Technology for Stavatti Aerospace.
He had been vocal about government disclosure on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) and advanced technologies, especially speaking to the over 500,000 people who subscribed to him on YouTube.
Just two days before his death, Wilcock went live on YouTube and made chilling remarks about a pattern of deaths in his community.
“I’m excited to be here, you know, every day that I have on earth is a gift and a blessing, and I’m very grateful for that, because frankly, people are disappearing. Scientists are going missing,” he said. “It’s a little bit scary.”
WATCH (the relevant comments begin around 10:30):
The day before he did the livestream, he posted on X saying, “My Dear Family, I am not yet sure if I am doing a show tomorrow. I’ve had some very intense stuff going on this weekend. Either way, I want you all to know how much I love and appreciate you! Always remember that the Creator is within — and we live in a loving universe. I am very grateful to you for all of your love, care and support.”
He also thanked his regular supporters and donors.
My Dear Family,
I am not yet sure if I am doing a show tomorrow. I’ve had some very intense stuff going on this weekend.
Either way, I want you all to know how much I love and appreciate you!
Always remember that the Creator is within — and we live in a loving universe.
The timing has raised eyebrows among followers, especially given Wilcock’s past statements pushing back against any belief that he would kill himself.
In a resurfaced 2022 social media post, he wrote, “I plan on LIVING. Not suicidal at all. Just concerned about what happens when you prove God is real.”
I plan on LIVING. Not suicidal at all. Just concerned about what happens when you prove God is real.
This latest death fits directly into a disturbing pattern that The Gateway Pundit has been reporting on for weeks.
As we have detailed in multiple articles, the FBI under Director Kash Patel has launched a major investigation into the mysterious deaths and disappearances of at least 11 high-level U.S. scientists with access to classified information in nuclear, aerospace, propulsion, missile technology, and UAP-related programs.
President Donald Trump has publicly stated the White House is looking into the cases, describing the string of incidents as highly suspicious.
Many of the victims had ties to sensitive defense research. Several were found dead under circumstances initially ruled as suicide or ruled undetermined, while others simply vanished while hiking or walking without their phones, wallets, or keys.
Wilcock’s death now adds another high-profile name to the growing list at a moment when federal authorities say they are actively probing possible foreign actors or larger conspiracies behind the pattern.
No foul play has been alleged by authorities in Wilcock’s case at this time, and the investigation remains with the coroner.
The Gateway Pundit will continue to follow developments in both Wilcock’s case and the general investigation into the deaths of America’s top scientists.
NPR Admits That It Could Get the Rich Libs to Pay For Coverage Trashing Conservatives Instead of Forcing Conservatives to Foot the Bill
April 22, 2026
NPR’s business model has — or, blessedly, had — always been providing hard-left content to rich urban liberals and forcing everyone, including the conservatives they trashed, to pay for it via their tax dollars.
Not that they’d acknowledge that. NPR’s claim was that they got basically 1 percent of their annual revenue from your tax dollars, then would insist in the next breath they desperately needed that 1 percent.
Both of these were half-truths: A federal entity called NPR only got 1 percent of the public broadcaster’s revenue from tax dollars, but that was just the national organization; when you added up all the subsidies, direct and indirect, to NPR and its stations through other forms of taxpayer largesse, that number was roughly at least a quarter of its operating budget — which it did desperately need under its former business model.
Last May, President Donald Trump signed an executive order cutting off taxpayer funds from going to NPR (and its television cousin, PBS) from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting: “At the very least, Americans have the right to expect that if their tax dollars fund public broadcasting at all, they fund only fair, accurate, unbiased, and nonpartisan news coverage,” he said in a statement at the time.
That’s still tied up in the courts, but I’ve been reliably informed by past Democrat presidents that you can do a lot with “a pen” and “a phone,” and I suspect pulling NPR funding through the CPB is probably one of those things.
Even with the money tied up in court, NPR hasn’t really seen any significant diminishment in the quality or the reach of its programming, from what I’ve observed; I’m not sure whether that says more about the quality of NPR’s product or the need for the funding, or even if those two things are mutually exclusive.
And now, NPR is basically admitting what we knew all along: If they want to be a radio station by and for rich urban liberals, those rich urban liberals can fund it!
NEW: @NPR has received two of the largest gifts in the public media network’s existence, totaling $113 million.
From NPR’s report on NPR being saved from (relative) penury by rich NPR boosters:
NPR has received two of the largest gifts in the public media network’s existence, totaling $113 million. They will go toward fueling innovation in NPR’s use of digital technology, increasing its connection with audiences, and ensuring the viability of public radio stations after Congress eliminated all federal funding for public media.
NPR President and CEO Katherine Maher said the gifts would help to set up the network and its stations for the next 50 years, beyond the radio network infrastructure that sprang up in 1970 from a coalition of community and university-owned public radio stations across the country.
Maher said that requires NPR and its stations to use tech to collaborate more effectively in providing programs and news coverage, to analyze how people are consuming their offerings and to discern how to raise money more effectively to pay for it. She said the gifts would be “catalytic investments” in NPR’s future.
Aside from the laughable “fueling innovation in NPR’s use of digital technology” (that’s how you phrase “I started another podcast” on your LinkedIn profile), this is effectively what NPR’s model should be.
Its tastes obviously run toward a certain audience that is not ill-heeled. They won’t be worse for wear if you start begging them for cash and giving them the world’s biggest tote bag.
Which users on X noted:
So they never needed my money after all. How about that.
Keep in mind that, as of right now, the biggest contributor is Connie Ballmer, wife of former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. She gave $80 million of that money.
“I support NPR because an informed public is the bedrock of our society, and democracy requires strong, independent journalism,” said Ballmer, who used to be on the board of the NPR Foundation.
“My hope is that this commitment provides the stability and the spark NPR needs to innovate boldly and strengthen its national network.”
And if it does, good for them. As long as they aren’t looting my tax dollars to do it, they can produce hagiographic segments where a book called “In Defense of Looting” and its author are praised with uncritical glee. (Seriously, they did that one time!)
If the network’s current trajectory and funding model is any indication — beyond the fact that they never should have forced any of us to pay for propaganda specifically aimed at disparaging half of the American listening public — they never needed those dollars in the first place. Thanks for finally admitting it, I suppose.
Trump’s Pardon Attorney Ed Martin Challenges Cory Mills Narrative — Slams D.C. Police Handling of Alleged Domestic Case, Calls Warrant Push a “Mop-Up Job”
April 22, 2026
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In pointed on-camera remarks at the White House, President Trump’s U.S. Pardon Attorney Ed Martin—who was serving as interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia at the time of the incident—is forcefully disputing media coverage surrounding Rep. Cory Mills.
He is directly challenging how an alleged domestic case has been characterized and how it was handled by his office.
See his statement here at the White House with LindellTV and GP’s Cara Castronuova:
BREAKING!
In an exclusive statement to LindellTV at the White House, U.S. Pardon Attorney Ed Martin is pushing back hard on what he calls a “fake news” narrative in the Cory Mills controversy placing scrutiny squarely on the Metropolitan Police Department of the District… pic.twitter.com/ROEMfQzRGk
Martin, who had previously been involved in legal advocacy related to January 6th political prisoners, told LindellTV that the “Fake News” narrative surrounding the case is inaccurate and that the focus should instead be on how the situation was handled by the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia.
Ed Martin was an OG MAGA Patriot before he was Trump’s U.S. Pardon Attorney
Who Is Cory Mills — And Why This Matters
Cory Mills (R-Fla.) is a Republican member of Congress representing Florida’s 7th District and a military veteran with a background in defense contracting.
He is currently facing heightened scrutiny in Washington, including:
A House Ethics Committee review
Allegations related to financial disclosures and business dealings
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) introduced a resolution on Monday to expel Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) from Congress.
That D.C. incident—now back in the spotlight —is what Martin is addressing. The case has since resurfaced as congressional scrutiny intensifies.
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) and Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.)
Background on the D.C. Incident
The controversy stems from a 2025 incident in Washington, D.C. involving Mills.
Based on publicly reported information:
Police responded to a domestic call at the scene involving Mills and a female at a residence
No arrest was made at the time
A warrant request was later submitted to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for D.C.
The warrant was not signed, and no criminal charges have been publicly filed
Martin did not comment on whether or not he believed Mills was innocent or guilty of the allegations.
His statement was focused squarely on the information his office received at the time. He pointed to what he described as the D.C. Metropolitan Police policy in domestic situations, saying officers are expected to respond and typically remove someone from the scene. He noted that in this case, a supervisor instructed officers to leave the individuals in place. Martin said that the decision reflected how police assessed the situation at the time, adding that if probable cause had been established, officers would have acted that night.
Martin emphasized that officers did not remove anyone at the scene, which he described as a key and underreported detail.
He stated that, under typical procedures in domestic-related calls, officers take action when they determine probable cause exists.
Martin said officers did not remove anyone at the scene, adding that they “made the judgment that there wasn’t an issue to the level that they should react.”
The Warrant Request: “Mop-Up Job”
According to Martin, the situation shifted the following day.
He said that after media attention began, authorities sought to move forward with a warrant—something he characterized as a “mop-up job.”
“They wanted us to clean it up,” Martin said.
He added that his office declined to proceed under those circumstances, saying, “We weren’t going to play that game.”
Strong Language: “Corruption”
Martin also used the word “corruption” in describing how he viewed the handling of the situation.
He did not identify specific individuals or allege criminal wrongdoing by name but indicated he believed the process itself was not properly followed.
“They were playing games with the rules,” he said.
Martin rejected the suggestion that his office failed to act, saying instead that the decision was based on applying consistent legal standards.
“You do the crime, you should be arrested, should be prosecuted. We are not afraid of that,” he said. “But I just don’t like seeing the fake news media trying to blame the Trump Administration and pretend that we were either complicit or encouraging people, whether they are in power or out of power. Elected official or not elected official. You got to do the right things, right?”
Why This Is Exploding Now
As Mills faces active scrutiny in Congress, including an ongoing House Ethics Committee review and calls for potential disciplinary action, the previously unresolved D.C. incident has re-emerged as a key point of focus.
Martin’s comments introduce a competing explanation—one that shifts attention from DOJ decision-making to the actions taken at the scene and the timing of the warrant request.
Bottom Line
Martin disputes the idea that his office mishandled the case, instead pointing to how the situation unfolded in real time and how it was revisited afterward.
His remarks add a new dimension to the story—one that could shape how the incident is interpreted as congressional scrutiny continues.

HORROR: Young PBS Employee Shot and Killed by Estranged Husband Outside Her Home
April 22, 2026

A promising young woman who also served our country in uniform has died days after she was shot in an unspeakable act of violence.
As KWCH reported, the Wichita Police Department confirmed that 25-year-old Ivy Unruh of PBS Kansas passed away after being allegedly shot by her husband, 29-year-old Joshua Orlando.
The shooting occurred on Friday morning around 8 a.m. at an apartment complex off of 37th Street North between Woodlawn and Rock Road in Wichita, Kansas. Unruh was rushed to the hospital and died on Monday from her injuries.
Unruh was an engineer at PBS Kansas at the time of her death. She was also a military veteran who served in the Marines.
Victor Hogstrom, president of PBS Kansas, was shocked upon hearing the news of such a promising young person who died far too soon and mourned her passing:
“I heard about it, and I was first informed, and the first thing I did was slam the desk with my two hands — bang, what? That was my reaction. I couldn’t believe it,” Hogstrom said.
“She worked with people well. She was smart and very intelligent. She was a good employee. We’re all missing her from here, a very dependable person,” he added.
Orlando was arrested Friday and booked at the Sedgwick County Jail on a charge of aggravated battery. The charge has now been upgraded to first-degree murder following Unruh’s death.
He is being held on a $300,000 bond.

A family friend has launched a GoFundMe for Unruh’s family to help cover funeral costs and released this statement on the website:
“We are heartbroken to share the devastating loss of a strong, courageous woman, a United States Marine, who was taken from us due to domestic violence,” the fundraiser states.
“She served her country with honor, strength, and selflessness. To those who knew her, she was more than a Marine—she was a daughter, a sister, and a friend who brought light into the lives of others,” The fundraiser continues. “She had the courage to walk away from a dangerous situation, yet tragically, her life was still taken.”
“Any donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward honoring her life and giving her the service she deserves. If you are unable to donate, sharing this page would mean just as much.”
Just over $10,000 have been raised as of this writing. Anyone wishing to donate can click HERE.
