More than a dozen researchers tied to NASA, nuclear propulsion, and classified defense programs are dead or missing. The FBI is investigating. Congress has used the word sinister. And one city appears again and again in the timeline.
We started this series because a man named William Neil McCasland walked out of his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico on February 27th, 2026, and did not come back. He left his phone. He left his wallet. He left his glasses. He was a retired Air Force Major General who commanded the Air Force Research Laboratory and held an MIT doctorate. He ran America's most sensitive aerospace research programs for over thirty years. He has not been found.
We thought that was one story. It is not one story. It is a pattern. And the pattern has been growing for four years, largely without coordinated mainstream coverage, while the people closest to it kept dying or disappearing.
We are a horror and wine podcast. We did not expect to spend 2026 talking to federal investigators and filing research briefs. But here we are. And we are not going to stop.
