Trump Says ‘Not Much Connection’ Between Missing, Dead Experts

The theories about the missing and deceased scientists started after retired Air Force Maj. Gen. William Neil McCasland went missing earlier this year. He used to be responsible for the Air Force Research Laboratory and had ties to the Los Alamos National Laboratory, where top-secret nuclear research is done.

Since 2022, at least 13 people have died or gone missing, including Sullivan. Most of them were working in nuclear science or space exploration, and several of them did so under strange circumstances.

Monica Reza, 60; Melissa Casias, 53; Anthony Chavez, 79; and Steven Garcia, 48, all went missing between 2023 and 2026, and each of their disappearances was considered suspicious.
