FBI Investigating Deaths, Disappearances of Staff at Secretive Government Laboratories
The FBI is seeking links among the cases as Congress reviews the reports and NASA says there is no current national security threat.
- On Tuesday, the FBI launched a broad investigation into the deaths or disappearances of at least 10 scientists, with FBI Director Kash Patel confirming the agency is coordinating with federal and state partners to find answers.
- The House Oversight Committee requested information from NASA and the Department of Defense after House Oversight Committee Republican James Comer described the issue as a potential security threat involving 11 individuals affiliated with these agencies.
- Retired Air Force major general William Neil McCasland vanished from his Albuquerque, New Mexico, home on February 27, joining other cases including astrophysicist Carl Grillmair's fatal shooting on February 16 and materials scientist Monica Jacinto Reza's June 2025 disappearance.
- FBI Director Patel started the probe last week to determine if classified information or foreign actors are involved, while NASA wrote on its platform that it is coordinating with relevant agencies, noting nothing suggests a national security threat.
- President Donald Trump responded to reporters last week regarding roughly 10 scientists, calling the incidences "pretty serious stuff" and adding he hopes they are random occurrences, though he indicated the administration would investigate further.
