A recording of a 911 call made by the wife of a missing scientist has been publicly released and raises new questions about his disappearance.
As previously reported, retired Air Force General William Neil McCasland was last seen on Feb. 27 of this year.
“The former general left his New Mexico home with only a pair of boots and a handgun, and did not take his phone, smart devices or glasses,” the Daily Mail recently reported, adding that he had “allegedly possessed top-secret knowledge of nuclear and UFO-related secrets.”
This week, an audio recording of McCasland’s wife, Susan Wilkerson, calling 911 was released.

“My husband is missing,” Wilkerson said in the call. “And it’s been about three hours, and I have some indication that he must have planned not to be found. He’s left his phone. He changed his clothes into I don’t know what. I think he’s on foot. All of our cars and bicycles are in the garage.”
“I left for a doctor’s appointment at about 11:10, and he was here at that time at the house. And I got back from that at noon, and he was gone.
He turned it off and left it behind, which seems kind of deliberate because he’s always got his phone. He has a smart watch. I don’t know if that’s with him or not,” she added.
When asked if her husband had ever done something like this before, Wilkerson said no.
“Never,” she maintained. “Nothing even remotely like it. He’s a retired Air Force Major General. He’s very responsible. But he’s also facing some medical issues. … We’ve been seeing a doc for both physical and mental in terms of anxiety, short-term memory loss, lack of sleep, the same doc I went to see today.”
She added that he had a recent habit of saying that “if his brain and body keeps deteriorating, he didn’t want to live like that.”
“But it seemed to me that was just a man-I-hate-how-this-is-going kind of thing because I told him, yes, you do, yes, you do,” Wilkerson added.
Based on what Wilkerson said during the 911 call, some now believe McCasland committed suicide.
“I totally understand now, someone with his intelligence early stage dementia or potentially Alzheimer’s he knew what was to come, he told her he did not want to live like that, he probably also did not want her to see his decline,” one person wrote on social media. “He did not want her to find him after he shot himself.”
But others believe he was kidnapped or killed. Why? Because, according to Rep. Tim Burchett, he’d been a UFO gatekeeper:

“He’s the guy that had a lot of nuclear secrets and … I’ve been told by several sources that he was gatekeeper of the UFO stuff,” Burchett said in the clip above from a radio interview he conducted days earlier.
“Of course, his family said he didn’t have anything to do with UFOs, but these people are people of honor, and they don’t tell their families so their family isn’t a target,” the congressman added.
McCasland is one of six to eight high-profile scientists and researchers who have either been killed or gone missing in the past year.

“There have been several … that have disappeared under suspicious circumstances,” Burchett previously told the Daily Mail. “I think we ought to be paying attention to it.”
