Was able to track down the LinkedIn of one of the original 3 inventors of the Iridium system Raymond J. Leopold, and he is still alive… not sure about the other 2. So probably not the scientists we are looking for. So now am leaning back toward the Marconi Star Wars murders or some other group of scientists we have not discovered yet.
