Retired US Air Force major general missing for weeks: What we know

Authorities in New Mexico are conducting an extensive search for a retired U.S. Air Force general who disappeared from his home nearly three weeks ago.
Retired Maj. Gen. William "Neil" McCasland, 68, was last seen on the morning of Feb. 27 at his residence in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement. His wife reported him missing later that day after returning home from a medical appointment to find he was gone, leaving behind his phone, glasses, and other personal items.
Following McCasland's disappearance, local authorities issued a Silver Alert, which is an advisory for a missing person who is 50 or older and has an "irreversible deterioration of intellectual faculties," according to the New Mexico Department of Public Safety. The sheriff's office initially reported that the alert was issued for McCasland due to unspecified "medical issues."
During a news conference on March 16, the sheriff's office said the Silver Alert remained in effect and had been issued because McCasland previously reported that he was experiencing a "mental fog." But Lt. Kyle Woods of the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office underscored that investigators do not believe McCasland was cognitively impaired at the time of his disappearance.
"There’s no indication, and we are not putting forward that Mr. McCasland was disoriented, confused," Woods said. "Arguably, he would still be the most intelligent person in the room that any of us would be in. Highly intelligent, highly capable, but that information was given to us early on, and out of an abundance of caution, we escalated to a silver alert to try to garner as much public attention as possible to try to help locate him as soon as possible."
