## Resource

Missing hiker. Random criminal. Disturbed classmate. Domestic tragedy. Every case got an explanation. None of the explanations holds up. This is what we mean by the Coverage Problem. Not a conspiracy. Not a cover-up. A pattern. A documentable, sourceable pattern. Every case got a frame. The frame closed the story. The questions never got answered. We continue our coverage of the disappearance of Major General Neil McCasland and the other missing scientists.
