Olson family to sue CIA over scientist's death
The Olson family holds a press conference revealing plans to sue the CIA for illegally administering LSD to Dr. Frank R. Olson, a Fort Detrick biochemist, and for cover ups surrounding his death in New York on November 28, 1953. Rockefeller Commission findings corroborate Olson was dosed by CIA personnel and later died after psychiatric treatment and a hotel jump. The family cites multiple officials connected to Fort Detrick Special Operations and notes CIA drug experiments continued until 1963.
