Neil McCasland Update: Sheriff Addresses ‘Speculation’ on Missing General​

The Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) in New Mexico has addressed theories surrounding the high-profile disappearance of retired Air Force general William Neil McCasland in February, telling Newsweek it is aware of the speculation surrounding the case but remain focused on verified facts and credible leads.

McCasland’s disappearance has drawn attention within UFO circles, where some have speculated that it could be linked to his work, despite no confirmation of any foul play from police. McCasland’s wife, however, has previously pushed back on claims that his work had any link to his disappearance.


“We are aware of the speculation surrounding this case. As with any high-profile investigation, that kind of attention can create additional tips and information that investigators must review, but our team remains focused on the facts and on pursuing credible leads,” BCSO said in an email to Newsweek.

“At this time, we have not developed evidence establishing that Mr. McCasland’s disappearance is connected to his classified work. This remains an active investigation, and we are not going to speculate or rule in or rule out possibilities without evidence.”

Reporting has also tied McCasland’s case with the deaths or disappearances of several U.S. experts in the advanced space, defense, and nuclear fields in recent years.

However, the BCSO told Newsweek it had no verified information establishing any connection between the retired general’s disappearance and any other missing person investigation.
 

House Oversight to investigate missing, dead US nuclear scientists​

House Oversight Chairman James Comer said the committee will launch an investigation into the cases of more than 10 U.S. nuclear scientists who are reported missing or dead.

Comer said the panel plans to seek information and briefings from the Pentagon, FBI, Department of Energy and NASA, noting that several of the scientists held high‑level security clearances.


Nearly a dozen researchers or people with links to aerospace or defense programs have disappeared or died in circumstances that some observers have deemed suspicious.

The highest-profile person on the list arguably is retired Air Force Maj. Gen. William McCasland, who is said to have overseen classified government programs that intersected with “unidentified anomalous phenomena,” or UAPs.

A recent addition to the list, 34-year-old scientist Amy Eskridge, is reported to have died by suicide in 2022 in Alabama. Her father told NewsNation he accepts that, saying, “Scientists die also, just like other people.”

Oh wow! Now this is interesting. Maybe there is a connection after all?
 

Missing UFO scientists conspiracy? Ross Coulthart warns, “It could all be a red herring”​

As the story of missing or dead individuals linked to UFO speculation gathers momentum, investigative journalist Ross Coulthart said on Newsnight that “I don’t think there is a connection… I don’t see a pattern,” with regard to the missing or dead people.

However, he did add, “I am not saying some individual cases… aren’t suspicious.”

Coulthart began his segment by describing the pattern problem: humans are prone to clustering isolated phenomena together, even when there is no real association between them.

He punchily asserted, “People die every day… what’s the connection then?” Coulthart also noted that millions of people work for the Defense Department. With such a large pool, conspiracy theories may not be needed.


And that brings us to the fact that not all individuals who have gone missing are scientists. There is a particular element of misreporting doing the rounds.

Coulthart was keen to mention that not all of these workers were scientists. The “11 scientists” idea is convenient for journalistic infographics, but the list included government contractors, defense personnel, and even an administrative staff member.


This mislabelled core claim could be that “It’s just going to blow up in our faces,” according to Coulthart, because the unsubstantiated claim could simply be treated as unrelated incidents in the ongoing FBI investigation.

“General Neil McCasland and the Monica Razer case… have been obscured by what I do think is a red herring.”
 
Brian Entin gives a rundown on all of these mysterious and/or suspicious deaths and disappearances of 10 scientists.

 

Missing Gen. William McCasland ‘foggy’ before disappearance: Coworker​

Body camera footage has revealed a woman’s surprise at the disappearance of retired Air Force Major General William Neil McCasland one day after meeting with him.

In footage obtained by Law&Crime, authorities spoke to an unidentified woman who said she and members of the U.S. Space Force had dinner with McCasland the night before his disappearance.

“I was shocked this morning when I saw the alert because what I noticed Thursday evening (Feb. 26) is that he wasn’t his usual self. He was kind of spacey and quiet, and you know that that happens with people,” the woman said.

She added McCasland had been prescribed new medication before disappearing. The woman mentioned she worked with the retired Air Force general, who was a board member of the Kirtland Partnership Committee, a nonprofit striving to protect and expand Kirtland Air Force Base.

“Today, he had taken a drug that the doctor prescribed last night that was supposed to help him sleep,” the woman told authorities.

“With weight gain, he’s lost about 20 pounds for no reason, and with anxiety, today he woke up and said, ‘Well, I have got better sleep, but it’s like the after effects of a bad hangover. I’m just foggy. I can’t get any motivation to do anything.”‘

This makes me think that he was walking somewhere and passed away somewhere that he hasn't been found yet. So sad.
 

Missing Air Force retiree seen in last known photograph day before disappearance​

Retired Air Force officer William Neil McCasland divulged fears of mental and physical decline and a recent nightmare of being abandoned by friends around the time he went missing Feb. 27 in New Mexico, a report says.

The “Los Angeles Magazine” article, which scrapes information from a variety of police reports and documents obtained through a public records request, also features what could be the last known verified image of the 68-year-old McCasland.

The Feb. 26 surveillance photo shows the silver-haired retiree carrying items, including what appears to be a First Aid kit, at an REI store in the region.


Some of the information in the “LA Magazine” piece by true-crime podcaster Lauren Conlin supports the idea that McCasland was unraveling about a variety of things, including declining health and deaths in his family.
