Who Is Ingrid Lade? On October 15, 2023, Ingrid Colleen Lane vanished after a hike in the Jemez Mountains outside Albuquerque. Every news report described her the same way: 37, married, bipolar, Buddhist, musician. All true. This episode opens Fear & Wine's new investigative series with Ingrid's full story: a Peabody-trained classical violinist turned bluegrass fiddler, a St. John's College great-books scholar, and a PhD candidate in biomedical engineering. Ingrid Lane is professionally a neuroscientist and quantum computing researcher with documented ties to Sandia National Laboratories and Los Alamos National Laboratory. Seven months before she disappeared, her name appeared in an NNSA nuclear security workforce planning report. Kristin lays out Ingrid's personal life (her marriage to fellow scientist Lewis Scuderi, her Buddhist practice, her relationship with her twin sister Kelsey) alongside the professional identity she says was scrubbed from every article about her disappearance, and explains how that framing kept Ingrid Lane's name off the radar when a federal investigation into missing scientists connected to Los Alamos began making headlines in 2026.
