Overview
- Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office detailed a one-hour window for William ‘Neil’ McCasland’s disappearance and renewed its public appeal for video via the BCSO Axon Portal.
- Investigators say McCasland interacted with a repairman around 10 a.m. on Feb. 27 and was unaccounted for between 11 a.m. and noon while his wife was away.
- His phone, glasses and wearable devices were found at home, while his wallet, hiking boots and a .38-caliber revolver are missing; a nearby Air Force sweatshirt has not been confirmed as his.
- The FBI is assisting a multiagency search using helicopters, drones, dogs and rescue teams, and authorities caution that unverified theories and posts hinder the effort.
- His wife says he has medical issues unrelated to dementia, and officials note he is an avid outdoorsman believed to have left on foot in the Northeast Heights and Sandia Foothills.
