The FBI is involved in the search for William Neil McCasland, a retired U.S. Air Force general who has been missing for several days.
McCasland, 68, disappeared on Friday, February 27, when he was last seen in Sandia Heights, which is located in the Albuquerque, New Mexico, metropolitan area, according to the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office, which is the lead agency investigating his disappearance.
“Due to his medical issues, law enforcement is concerned for his safety,” the sheriff’s office said in a news release the day he went missing.
The New Mexico Department of Public Safety has issued a Silver Alert for McCasland, who had previously been involved in space research for the military.
In a news release issued on Tuesday, March 3, the sheriff’s office said that because of McCasland’s “background and established partnerships, BCSO is coordinating closely with multiple agencies, including the FBI Albuquerque Field Office, which is assisting as standard practice when it has a tool, tactic, or technique that may benefit the investigation.”
Authorities describe McCasland as 5-foot-11, weighing 160 pounds, with blue eyes and white hair.
