WASHINGTON - Officials in Washington promised to give priority to the investigation of an American engineer who died under suspicious circumstances in Singapore, his parents said Saturday morning after a whirlwind of meetings Friday.
Before his death, Shane Todd expressed concern his Singaporean employer was illegally helping China obtain technology that could harm U.S. national security, his parents say.
Shane Todd's parents, Rick and Mary Todd, traveled from their home in Marion, Mont., to Washington for a day of meetings Friday about the ongoing investigation and to push for the FBI to get involved.
The Singapore police initially ruled the death a suicide, but the Todds believe their son was murdered to prevent him from exposing the plot he had uncovered. The Todds met with Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., as well as officials from the State Department and other government agencies, Rick Todd said. Full story
