Interesting to see this
@VanityFair article by Dan Adler
@danmadler repeats the same categorical unproven assertion that Maj Gen Neil McCasland "walked out of his home" the day he disappeared, when there's not a shred of evidence to prove that's the case. It's a pity to see such a venerable news magazine repeating other legacy media mistakes in its haste to dismiss the General's disappearance as another MAGA 'conspiracy theory'.
The County Sheriff's Office has stated he “is believed to have left his residence on foot,” and that they “still do not know what happened to Neil after he left home on February 27th.” But Police have presented no evidence at all to substantiate their supposition that the General left home on his own volition.
The Police have also asserted there's no 'evidence of foul play' but it's now 55 days since McCasland disappeared and, with no body found, why isn't the possibility of foul play equally as plausible as suicide? The General would be a prime target for a foreign state enemy keen to know the US' most sensitive secrets.
There has been no confirmed sightings, video, or evidence of direction of travel after he left, despite numerous home CCTV/ring cameras along the route.
The General left behind his phone, prescription glasses, and wearable devices but is assumed to have taken his wallet and a .38-caliber revolver. The County Sheriff issued a Silver Alert and coordinates searches (including in the Sandia foothills, 'consistent with his habits as an avid hiker/outdoorsman', but there's no publicly presented evidence to substantiate he ever left his home at all... which is strange, considering the volume of cameras and potential witnesses after a near two-month investigation.
On all publicly presented evidence, there's no evidence the General left his home on his own volition at all. One would assume the Police would release such evidence IF they had it.
The
@VanityFair journalist also failed to mention that not everyone investigating this case, including this reporter, agrees that ALL the "missing scientist" cases are connected: that assuming a conspiracy connection between all these cases is possibly an overreach.
Contrary to what has been hysterically misreported on X, my scepticism to
@ChrisCuomo about the broad 'missing/dead scientist' conspiracy theory does not mean that some of the other cases don't raise legitimate suspicions/questions of potential foul play. I just don't see evidence of connections to McCasland.
@FrancMilburn
It's very easy to snidely dismiss the concern about the General's disappearance as a rabid MAGA conspiracy theory - which is the tone of this article - but General McCasland close holds some of the US' most sensitive national security secrets and it's an entirely legitimate concern that the silence from his former employers at
