The Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) has released a detailed update in the ongoing search for missing retired US Air Force general William “Neil” McCasland.
According to authorities, McCasland, 68, was last seen at or near his residence in the Quail Run Court NE area on February 27, 2026.
A verified timeline of the day he disappeared reveals several key events, including a visit from a repairman at 10 am and McCasland’s wife leaving for a medical appointment at 11:10 am.
When McCasland’s wife returned at 12:04 pm, he was no longer there, and his phone, prescription glasses, and wearable devices were still inside the house.
Several items, including a light green long-sleeve button-up outdoor shirt, hiking boots, wallet, and a .38-caliber revolver, are believed to be missing.
A gray US Air Force sweatshirt was recovered about 1.25 miles east of the residence on March 7, but it has not been confirmed to be linked to McCasland.
BCSO is coordinating with multiple partners, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Albuquerque Field Office, to investigate McCasland’s disappearance.
No confirmed sighting or video has been found showing McCasland leaving the area or indicating a direction of travel.
