Overview
- Anthony Chavez, a 78-year-old retired Los Alamos National Laboratory HVAC technician, went missing on May 4, 2025 after leaving his car, wallet, keys and cigarettes inside his locked home.
- Police records obtained by journalists and reported this week say a friend told officers Chavez had worked with an unnamed LANL scientist on research described as making matter “exist in two places simultaneously.”
- Los Alamos Police recovered one of Chavez’s handwritten journals and searched local canyons and hospitals but closed the case as inactive on October 6, 2025 for lack of new evidence.
- LANL has not confirmed Chavez’s involvement in classified or advanced experiments and the reported quantum link rests on the friend’s account and unnamed sources that have not produced technical evidence.
- Former FBI officials cited in coverage say unexplained disappearances of people tied to sensitive research raise counterintelligence concerns, and the new reporting could prompt renewed scrutiny by federal authorities and the public.
