White House to Probe Reports of 10 Missing or Dead Scientists
The cases involve scientists and contractors with access to classified nuclear and aerospace material, and lawmakers are pressing for an FBI review.
- Steven Garcia, a 48-year-old property custodian, vanished in August 2025 from Albuquerque, marking the 10th disappearance or death among individuals with access to U.S. nuclear and space secrets.
- Garcia held top security clearance at the Kansas City National Security Campus , which manufactures over 80 percent of non-nuclear components for U.S. military nuclear weapons.
- Retired Air Force Maj. Gen. William Neil McCasland went missing February 27 after leaving his Albuquerque home on foot, while two other scientists were shot at their homes and another body was found in a lake.
- Former FBI assistant director Chris Swecker stated, "If it's not just random acts, it's modern-day espionage," while former State Department analyst Marik von Rennenkampff suggested the threshold for concern may have been passed.
- These incidents occur amid congressional scrutiny of unidentified anomalous phenomena led by Rep. Anna Luna, though federal officials have not publicly confirmed any connections between the cases.
