A retired U.S. Air Force major general has been missing for two weeks, after vanishing late last month in New Mexico, authorities said.
William "Neil" McCasland, 68, was last seen at his home in Albuquerque on the morning of Feb. 27, according to the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office, which is leading an investigation into his disappearance. Because of McCasland's background, the sheriff said multiple agencies are assisting with the probe, including federal agents with the FBI Albuquerque Field Office.
"Our priority is finding Mr. McCasland safely," said Bernalillo County Sheriff John Allen in a statement. "Our investigators and search teams are working continuously, and we're coordinating closely with our local, state, and federal partners."
The sheriff's office has issued a silver alert for McCasland. Under New Mexico law, the notifications are used to locate missing people aged 50 or older, "with a clear indication of irreversible deterioration of intellectual faculties," according to the office. A description included in the alert cited the retired general's "medical issues" as cause for concerns over his safety, but the sheriff's office did not provide details about them.
Allen asked residents and businesses to check security camera footage from the area where McCasland went missing and report any relevant information to his office. The office said neighborhood canvassing efforts and interviews have not uncovered evidence of foul play.
