Questionable deaths of investigators have been a part of UFO lore for a long time.
There does seem to be some truth to this. I am reminded of Morris K. Jessup, a UFOlogist from the 1950's and author of several books on the subject. He was also connected to the Philadelphia Experiment. His official death was ruled a suicide, though others have characterized his death as "questionable".
I've heard those claims, yet have never heard the name of a specific "UFO researcher" who was murdered.
Given what is known about Jessup's life, I am skeptical that he was actually murdered. The official cause of death is much more likely. Yet, he was a UFO researcher who did come to a bad end. So I'm thinking that Jessup's death might even be the genesis of this type of speculation.
