/0 Comments/in , /by

The White House is investigating the reported deaths and disappearances of multiple U.S. scientists and government employees who had access to classified nuclear and space information.

When asked about the issue and if the cases were connected, President Donald Trump said Thursday, “I hope it’s random, but we’re going to know in the next week and a half. I just left a meeting on that subject. Pretty serious stuff,” Live Now Fox reported.

One of the cases was 68-year-old retired Air Force Maj. General William “Neil” McCasland, who vanished in February from his family home in Albuquerque, New Mexico, according to Fox News.

During his career, McCasland oversaw advanced and highly classified research programs for the military. When he disappeared, he left his phone but his wallet and a .38-caliber revolver were nowhere to be found, the outlet continued:

The general previously had said he was experiencing what he described as a “mental fog,” according to investigators, but authorities stressed there was no indication he was disoriented at the time of his disappearance.

“Arguably, he would still be the most intelligent person in the room,” Albuquerque police Lt. Kyle Wood said March 16.
