JAG epi takes on microbiologist disappearance.

[aquart]

The disappearance where the car was found empty on a bridge.

The interesting bit is that, instead of tying it to the disappearances of other microbiologists, they tie it to a defenestration incident. At least, the story they've told so far is that his father committed suicide by throwing himself out of a hotel window after a scientific conference.

Since we know that gov't agents likes defenestration, I'm betting the story is that Daddy wasn't a suicide and junior found out.

Somebody's reading conspiracy literature.

1. Glad I'm not the only one who noticed

The basis for the story line follows the Frank Olson story pretty well.

2. Yeah, they even show the CIA assassination manual.

Only they make it look like the killer was a hotdogger who overreached himself and had to leave the Agency under a cloud. Yeah, right.

As soon as they said the father jumped out a window, I knew he didn't jump.

On edit: not the CIA guy, a KGB woman. Wait. Not her either. It was all staged by the microbiologist. Wait! Yes, it was the KGB woman and her lover.

Neat. They got the CIA off the hook and made the microbiogist conniving and not dead.

3. Interesting....

(btw, you sent me to the dictionary on this one. I've never heard/seen the word defenestration before.)

defenestration {de- + L fenestra window}: a throwing of a person or thing out of a window.

4. What? Never heard of the Defenestration of Prague?

Basic world history. One of the great fun regime changes.

5. Uhm, no.....

but, son-of-a-gun, there WAS such a thing! D*mn american textbooks that I got teached from! You're making me do faaaaaaaaar too much research for one Friday nite, but I found the The Defenestration of Prague too: :-)

The Thirty Years War (1618-1648) was touched off by an incident called "The Defenestration of Prague". The Bohemian nobility was in more or less open revolt against the Emperor, and, at a meeting of the Bohemian Estates at the Hrdcany Castle in Prague on 23 May 1618, the assembled Bohemian nobles took the two Imperial governors present at the meeting, namely Wilhelm Graf Slavata and Jaroslav Borzita Graf von Martinicz, and threw them out of a window of the castle and into a ditch.

Neither man was seriously injured as a result of being defenestrated (an English translation of part of Slavata's report of the incident is printed in Henry Frederick Schwarz, *The Imperial Privy Council in the Seventeenth Century* , pp. 344-347), and lines of descent from both men to several members of European Royalty can be shown.
