Online sleuths think they have uncovered missing retired Air Force general William Neil McCasland’s anonymous social media account — which claimed another general was murdered for his dealings with nuclear material.

McCasland, 68, went missing from his Albuquerque, NM, home on Feb. 27 — which is the same day that the person behind a conspicuously credentialed X account centered on spacecraft and advanced science made their last post.

The account @tmbspaceships claims to be run by a “retired 38-year active duty” United States Air Force with a PhD in engineering — listing the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT), the Air Education Training Command (AETC), and Air Force Material Command (AETC) as places they’ve worked.

Army investigators ruled his hanging death was due a severe lack of sleep and job anxiety, according to the outlet.

“Gen. Rossi was a good friend and it is my opinion he did not commit suicide,” the account wrote in a reply posted on Sept. 2, 2025.

“I believe Gen Rossi was killed because of a [sic] incident, reported to the pentagon IG [inspector general], that he would not transfer nuclear weapons to private hands, just months prior in an attempted Nuclear Weapons theft from Ft. Sill,” the post claimed.

“Gen. Rossi knew DOE takes all custody of nuclear weapons, not private contractors,” the post concluded.

McCasland was informed about some of the most secretive US technology in his capacity as leader of Wright Patterson Air Force Base, vice commander of the Space and Missile Systems Center, and director of Space Acquisition at the Pentagon, sources told The Post.

the killers are and were operating on behalf of a foreign power

How do you know that? Or is that an assumption?

Probably it was a hit ordered by a foreign power or possibly a terrorist group. A group of criminals has no use for an atomic bomb. The Mexican cartels get the raw materials for fentanyl from Red China. There are Chinese “business owners” all over both Mexico and Canada.

Whether it was the cartels or domestic organized crime, the killers are and were operating on behalf of a foreign power: Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, or some other country.

You didn't include our own government in your list. For a reason?
