Tom Llamas claims news about missing scientists | TV Shows

NBC anchor Tom Llamas devoted a section of his Monday, April 20, Nightly News program to protecting the missing or lifeless United States scientists.

Before Tom, 46, launched another NBC correspondent to give particulars on the Trump administration launching a probe into the state of affairs.

“Now to a story that has erupted online and drawn the attention of President Trump,” the tv character said. “The FBI now says it’s looking into whether the cases involving several missing or dead American scientists are all connected.” This comes amid FBI Director Kash Patel submitting a $250 million lawsuit against the news publication The Atlantic.

So far, 4 of the 11 scientists who went missing within the last two years got here from the state of New Mexico. Concern over the slew of scientists who have disappeared grew after a reporter questioned it at the White House days in the past.

Fox News’ Peter Doocy requested Karoline Leavitt if anybody under President Donald Trump, 79, was investigating the stories that “10 scientists,” who potentially had access to information related to nuclear weapons/research, had vanished in under two years.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, 28, admitted that though she had seen the report, she hadn’t discussed it with the relevant agencies.

Karoline did mention, however, that if it turned out to be true, it would be looked into, and she’d be back with answers. New Mexico news outlet KOB4 revealed that there were at least four missing persons cases of people who reportedly had some level of access or closeness to classified materials, at least at some point in their careers.

The four people vanished within the last 11 months alone. Of the missing was Major General William Neil McCasland, who is a retired Air Force leader. He was reported missing in February 2026, and last seen near his home in northeast Albuquerque.

Steven Garcia, Melissa Casias, and Anthony “Tony” Chavez had been the other three of the 4 who disappeared.

KOB4 reached out to the Chief Archivist of the National UFO Historical Records Center, Barry Roth, about rumors that Maj. Gen. McCasland was related to UFO research, along with probably possessing data of nuclear packages.

“But you have one person involved that has alleged ties to the UFO/UAP community, and then all of a sudden people might find other patterns that might tie the other people in. When you do a deep dive into it, there isn’t really any other connection,” Barry said.
