10 Scientists Mysteriously Die, White House Spokesperson Stumbles, Admits Involvement in Nuclear and Aerospace Fields!
On April 15, at the White House briefing room, Fox News chief White House correspondent Peter Doocy posed a question to press secretary Karoline Leavitt: Since mid-2024, ten American scientists have either gone missing or died. All of them had access to classified materials related to nuclear weapons or aerospace. Is anyone investigating potential connections among these incidents?
Leavitt’s response surprised many journalists present. She admitted, “I’ve seen this report,” but then added, “I haven’t yet discussed it with our relevant agencies. I will definitely talk to them and get back to you. If this is true, it’s certainly something worth investigating.”
These individuals were not ordinary researchers. Their work directly relates to America’s nuclear deterrence capabilities and space strategic power.
For example, 48-year-old Steven Garcia disappeared on August 28, 2025, leaving his home in Albuquerque on foot—surveillance footage shows he was carrying a handgun. He was responsible for managing nuclear weapon components at the Kansas City National Security Campus.
William Neil McCasland, a 68-year-old retired Air Force brigadier general, vanished from his home in Albuquerque on February 27, 2026, without his phone or glasses, but only carrying a revolver.
At least four disappearances follow a highly consistent pattern: all individuals vanished shortly after leaving their homes, without phones, wallets, or keys. Now, many U.S. media outlets believe the most plausible explanation is that these people were targeted by foreign spies.
The United States is significantly upgrading its nuclear weapons capabilities. Congress has demanded that Los Alamos Laboratory achieve an annual production target of 30 plutonium pits by 2026. The Pentagon aims to increase output to 80 plutonium pits per year. Meanwhile, the budget for nuclear weapons programs is experiencing the largest growth since the Cold War era. This means vast amounts of confidential materials and sensitive technologies are circulating among laboratories, drastically increasing security pressures.
So what’s the cause? In my view, there are likely only a few possibilities. First, infiltration by foreign intelligence agencies—an idea explicitly raised by people who knew Garcia. Second, someone inside may be deliberately eliminating key technical personnel. However, the White House has been evasive, appearing to deflect blame while seemingly knowing something more.
