Disappearance of retired Air Force general tied to UFO community, killing of scientist spark questions
The wife of retired Air Force general William “Neil” McCasland who disappeared without a trace from his New Mexico home in February told 911 dispatchers she feared her husband “planned not to be found.”
Susan Wilkerson called 911 three hours after her husband, who has strong ties to the UFO community, vanished from their Albuquerque home on Feb. 27 with hiking boots and a revolver.
“My husband is missing. It’s been about 3 hours and I have some indication that he must have planned not to be found,” Wilkerson warned 911 dispatchers in newly released audio obtained by the Law&Crime Network.

Wilkerson told dispatchers that her alien-expert husband suspiciously turned his phone off and left it at home alongside his prescription glasses before he vanished.
