Trump Says Review Finds Little Connection in Scientist Deaths and Disappearances

The lack of a clear pattern keeps focus on security at labs that handle nuclear and space work.

Overview

  • President Trump said he was briefed on the cases and so far sees little evidence they are linked, promising a full report.
  • The FBI said it is leading a joint review with the Energy Department, the Defense Department, NASA, and local police to look for any connections.
  • Rep. Eric Burlison raised the tally to 13 people tied to nuclear or space work who are dead or missing and said he is pressing the FBI for answers.
  • Reports describe mixed causes across the cases, while lawmakers point to shared details in several disappearances like phones, keys, cars, or wallets left behind.
  • Retired Maj. Gen. William Neil McCasland vanished from his Albuquerque home earlier this year, with police reporting no sign of foul play and the FBI reportedly joining the case.
