The 911 dispatcher spoke with the wife of McCasland, 68, in the hours after he went missing on February 27.
Susan Wilkerson said she believed the retired general “had planned not to be found” after discovering he left crucial items at their New Mexico home.
“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,” Wilkerson told 911.
“He turned it off and left it behind which seems kind of deliberate because he’s always got his phone. He has a smartwatch. I don’t know if that’s with him or not.”

According to the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office, he had only taken a backpack, wallet and his .38-caliber revolver, leaving no way for the retired general to be tracked.
Wilkerson disclosed on the call that McCasland had been struggling with anxiety and short-term memory loss recently, and that he feared his brain was “deteriorating.”
However, she said publicly after husband disappeared that he not have dementia and “was not confused or disoriented”.
“It is true that when Neil was in the Air Force, he had access to some highly classified programs and information,” she wrote in March.
But Wilkerson dismissed the idea that McCasland’s disappearance had anything to do with his former government role.
Bernalillo County issued a Silver Alert for McCasland, and the FBI joined in on the search four days after his disappearance.
McCasland was in command at Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, a lab that has been tied to UFO conspiracies.
The base is known for Project Blue Book, the military’s infamous investigation which looked into unidentified flying objects in the 1950s and 1960s.
In 2025, three other people tied to AFRL and Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in New Mexico have vanished in mysterious circumstances.
Monica Jacinto Reza, 60, a NASA airspace engineer who worked directly under McCasland’s supervision disappeared while on a hiking trip in California in June 2025.
Two employees from LANL – one of America’s most important nuclear facilities – vanished around the same time as Reza.
Anthony Chavez, 79, who retired from the lab in 2017, was last seen leaving his home in Los Alamos on foot on May 4.
Adaministrative assistant Melissa Casias, 54, was reported missing on June 26 after not reporting for work at the nuclear lab.
