Overview

  • The White House, which on Friday said it was working with the FBI and all relevant agencies, has opened a coordinated review of recent deaths and disappearances of U.S. scientists.
  • Authorities say no evidence links the cases so far, which span 2023 to 2026 and include homicides, reported suicides, unexplained deaths, and missing-person files.
  • The list now widely discussed includes about 11 people, such as retired Air Force Maj. Gen. William Neil McCasland, missing since February 27, and Caltech astrophysicist Carl Grillmair, who was fatally shot in February.
  • The Energy Department’s National Nuclear Security Administration said it is looking into reports tied to its labs and sites, including Los Alamos and the Kansas City National Security Campus, which builds nonnuclear parts for U.S. nuclear weapons.
  • President Trump called the situation “pretty serious” and said he expects updates within about a week and a half, while physicist Michio Kaku urged a national‑security probe and JPL colleagues and a former NNSA deputy cautioned against assuming a link.
