The White House has promised to "leave no stone unturned" in efforts to uncover the truth behind a series of mysterious disappearances and deaths of scientists in the United States.
White House spokeswoman Caroline Leavitt announced on the X platform that President Donald Trump has ordered the FBI to be involved in the investigation.
"Given the serious questions that have been raised about these troubling cases and President Trump's commitment to the truth, the White House is working with all relevant agencies and the FBI to fully review all cases and identify any potential connections between them," Leavitt said.
A series of cases that are raising suspicions
Over the past few years, several scientists associated with NASA, nuclear programs, the space industry, and classified projects have disappeared without a trace or been found dead.
Retired Air Force General William Neil McCasland, 68, disappeared from his New Mexico home on February 28, without his phone, electronic devices or glasses.
Many of them had access to sensitive information on space technology, nuclear energy and defense systems, which has increased speculation about possible links between the cases.
President Trump stated that he had been informed of 11 such cases.
Steven Garcia was last seen on August 28th of last year. A source told the Daily Mail that he was working as a government contractor at a key nuclear weapons facility.
Monica Jacinto Reza, 60, was last seen during a hike in the rugged San Gabriel Wilderness, inside Angeles National Park, on the trail to the summit of Mount Waterman, on June 22 of last year.
“I hope it’s a coincidence, but we’ll know in a week and a half,” he said. “These are very important people and we’re investigating it seriously.”
Unusual disappearance cases
One of the most high-profile cases is the disappearance of retired Air Force General William Neil McCasland, who was last seen in February leaving his New Mexico home with no phone, no equipment, and only a handgun. According to reports, he appeared to be trying to avoid being found.
Anthony Chavez (left) and Melissa Casias were both employees at Los Alamos National Laboratory. The two disappeared within weeks of each other last year.
Amy Eskridge was a scientist studying anti-gravity technology before her death in 2022, at the age of 34.
Similar cases have been recorded before in the same area, where several scientists affiliated with important laboratories, including NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Los Alamos National Laboratory, have disappeared under unclear circumstances.
Some of them left their homes without phones, keys, and vehicles, and no new traces have been found for months.
Scientists from sensitive fields
Researchers linked to advanced technology and nuclear programs are also mentioned among the missing people. Some worked on materials for rocket engines, others in important research laboratories in the US.
Scientists Nuno Loureiro (left) and Carl Grillmair were killed in their homes after making important advances in the fields of nuclear fusion and astrophysics.
Jason Thomas was found dead after being pulled from a lake in Massachusetts on March 17. He had been missing since December 12.
Several other scientists have also lost their lives under unclear circumstances in recent years, including researchers in nuclear physics, astrophysics, and space technologies.
In some cases, local authorities have reported suicide or natural deaths, but the lack of public details has further fueled suspicions and alternative theories.
Investigations continue.
NASA and other scientific institutions have not commented much on the cases, while investigations into some of them remain open.
The White House and the FBI are expected to analyze whether there is any connection between these incidents, but so far there is no official evidence that unites them into a single pattern. For now, authorities emphasize that the investigations are in the early stages and any conclusions will require time and full verification. /GazetaExpress/
