Albuquerque, New Mexico. Retired Air Force Major General William McCasland left his home between 11:10am and 12:04pm. He took his wallet, hiking boots, a .38-calibre revolver, and a red backpack. He left behind his phone, glasses, and wearable devices. Seventeen days later, despite helicopters, drones, search dogs, and 700 homes canvassed, there was no trace of him. But McCasland was not the first. Six months earlier, government contractor Steven Garcia walked out of his Albuquerque home carrying only a handgun. He left his phone, wallet, keys, and car behind. He was never seen again. Monica Reza disappeared whilst hiking in California. Anthony Chavez vanished from Los Alamos. Melissa Casias was last seen walking on a highway, her phones wiped clean. By April 2026, the list had grown to ten. Ten scientists, government contractors, and military experts. All connected to America's most classified nuclear and aerospace programmes. All disappeared or dead under mysterious circumstances. And on April 16, 2026, the White House announced it was investigating. This is the mystery of the vanishing scientists.
