Trump Orders FBI to Probe Missing Scientists

President Donald Trump has directed the FBI to investigate a series of disappearances and deaths involving scientists tied to sensitive U.S. government research programs. These cases have raised concerns about potential connections or foul play.

According to CBS News, Trump hinted at something sinister behind the disappearance or death of 10 government workers linked to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Los Alamos National Laboratory. He stated, "I just left a meeting on that subject, so pretty serious stuff." The cases have sparked online speculation about possible plots to harm U.S. nuclear or space programs.

Daily Mail reports that the White House has vowed to leave 'no stone unturned' in its effort to uncover the truth behind these troubling cases. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on X (formerly Twitter) that President Trump has brought the FBI into the investigation, stating that the administration is actively working with all relevant agencies to review the cases together and identify any potential commonalities.

Among the missing is retired Air Force Major General William Neil McCasland, last seen at his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. His wife, Susan Wilkerson, dismissed notions that his disappearance was connected to classified military programs or UFOs. The FBI has been assisting local law enforcement in the search for McCasland but so far have found no evidence of foul play.

Other cases include Monica Jacinto Reza, an aerospace engineer who disappeared while hiking in California, and Steven Garcia, a property custodian at the National Nuclear Security Administration's Kansas City National Security Campus. Five scientists have also died under various circumstances over the past three years. Investigators have not identified any evidence of a broader pattern linking these cases.
