0:00.0	See, this is what happens when we have very little on the after part of someone missing and a lot of the prologue to them going missing.
0:11.5	This gets back to the idea about what's simplest, right? If this were an ordinary retired gentleman who'd been working at a plumbing company for 40 years and he went missing,
0:24.1	the scenarios might be fewer. But there's a lot of open scenarios which we don't know. I'm I'm I'm I'm the I'm The In today's new episode of Missing, we speak with doctors Sarah Schiffacher and David Perlmutter of Texas Tech University about the mysterious disappearance of 68-year-old retired Air Force General William Neal McCaslin from his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico on February 27, 2026.
1:20.6	And this story is extra intriguing due to General McCaslin's work, and we'll get into it after this quick commercial break.
1:30.5	Please let us know what you think on YouTube or Spotify and please follow us on social media at missing CSM.
1:38.3	Thanks a lot for listening.

2:27.8	How are you both doing tonight?
2:30.3	Wonderful. Thank you so much for having us. You have brought us stories from all over the globe and they're super interesting. Before we get

2:39.4	Thank you so much for having me. My name is Sarah Maria Schiefecker. I was born and raised in beautiful
2:44.8	Austria and now live in the equally beautiful West Texas and work at Texas Tech University as faculty in the College of Media and Communication.
2:55.5	And I'm David Promutter, and I'm a faculty member as well, the College of Media and Communication, Texas Tech.
3:02.1	Tonight's story takes place not in Texas, but not too far from you both in New Mexico.
3:12.0	We're talking about the disappearance of retired U.S. Air Force Major General William Neal-McCaslin,
3:20.2	who has been missing from his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico, since February 27,
3:25.9	26. Now, I think it was Dr. Perlmutter who first mentioned this story to us. I guess what were
3:35.1	your first observations and why did you decide that this would be a good story to bring to us?
3:42.4	Well, I think it has all the elements, as they'd say in Hollywood.
