Newly reported details are shedding light on the disappearance of retired Air Force Maj. Gen. William Neil McCasland, whose case has drawn national attention because of his military background and alleged connection to classified government programs involving unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAP.

McCasland, 68, disappeared from his Albuquerque home on Feb. 27. His case quickly became the subject of online speculation because of his long military career, including work connected to highly sensitive defense programs. Some have suggested his disappearance could be linked to his knowledge of UAP-related information.

But newly surfaced records reported by Los Angeles Magazine and highlighted by NewsNation point to a more personal and tragic possibility: McCasland may have been struggling with physical decline, mental fog, and deep fears of abandonment before he vanished.

The Los Angeles Magazine report, based on police reports and documents obtained through a public records request, also included what may be the last verified image of McCasland before his disappearance. The Feb. 26 surveillance photo reportedly shows the silver-haired retired officer inside an REI store carrying items, including what appeared to be a first aid kit.

One unidentified woman who worked with McCasland told the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office that he seemed unusually withdrawn during a gathering the night before he disappeared. They were involved with a civilian organization that worked with Kirtland Air Force Base.

“That is out of character for him. He’s so full of knowledge. I mean, it’s crazy scary how smart he is … and he was just very quiet,” the colleague said in an interview.

McCasland’s wife, Susan McCasland Wilkerson, told investigators on Feb. 27 that her husband, who had previously been physically fit and mentally sharp, had recently been dealing with “physical and mental” issues and had been “experiencing what we’ve been calling ‘brain fog.’”

Lots of additional details including the photo at the link.

One set of remains which were found at the end of May were those of those of the missing Los Alamos woman Melissa Casias who worked at LANL and disappeared in late June last year. Though a handgun was found with the body, some doubt it was a suicide and believe she was murdered elsewhere and moved to the location found as that area had been previously searched. The NM State Police and the Office of the Medical Examiner have not yet released the results of their investigation.

‘Brain fog’ can also be caused by drugs. A simple injection. A drop in your coffee.

There are many ways a man can be gotten to.

So they had to create the “evidence” after the fact, instead of having it ready beforehand?

Or do they just believe it looks more credible to dribble stuff out, small bits at a time?
