Authorities searching for missing retired Air Force Maj.<\/a> Gen. William “Neil” McCasland are investigating a new development after hiking boots believed to belong to the missing general were discovered at his vacation home, officials said Monday.<\/p>\n

Investigators said they are still working to determine whether the boots are connected to McCasland\u2019s disappearance, which has now stretched into a third week.<\/p>\n

During a Monday news conference, the Bernalillo County Sheriff\u2019s Office said there have still been no confirmed sightings of the 68-year-old aerospace engineer, and the Silver Alert issued for him remains in effect.<\/p>\n

McCasland was last seen leaving his Albuquerque, New Mexico<\/a>, home on foot around 11 a.m. on Feb. 27, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Investigators noted he left behind his phone, glasses and wearable devices at the house. However, several personal items remain missing, including his wallet, a revolver and a holster for the gun. Investigators also said Monday that a red backpack is unaccounted for.<\/p>\n

Earlier that morning, McCasland was seen speaking with a repairman at his home around 9 to 10 a.m., according to authorities.<\/p>\n

The repairman described McCasland as being in a “mental fog,” but investigators said there was no indication he was disoriented or confused, describing him instead as a “highly intelligent, highly capable<\/a>” person.<\/p>\n

“Out of an abundance of caution, we escalated the search to a Silver Alert with that information that was given to us early on,” a Bernalillo County Sheriff\u2019s Office official said.<\/p>\n

RETIRED AIR FORCE GENERAL VANISHES IN 1-HOUR WINDOW FROM HOME, GUN AND WALLET MISSING<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Authorities say McCasland vanished within roughly a one-hour window while his wife was out of the house for an appointment.<\/p>\n

Search teams have also recovered a U.S. Air Force sweatshirt more than a mile from McCasland\u2019s home, though investigators have not confirmed whether the item belonged to him.<\/p>\n

McCasland is described as 5 feet, 11 inches tall with white hair and blue eyes and was last seen wearing a light green, button-up outdoor shirt with two chest pockets.<\/p>\n

GOT A TIP?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Officials believe he left his home on foot.<\/p>\n

The retired general is known to be an avid outdoorsman who frequently hikes, runs and cycles<\/a> in Albuquerque\u2019s Northeast Heights and the nearby Sandia Foothills, where search crews have focused some of their efforts.<\/p>\n

Authorities said they have received dozens of tips and are urging residents to check home security video captured between Feb. 27 and Feb. 28, which investigators say is a critical window in the search.<\/p>\n

The FBI<\/a> joined the search effort on March 3, assisting local authorities as the investigation continues.<\/p>\n

Investigators said they had not uncovered evidence of foul play, though officials have emphasized that no scenarios have been ruled out.<\/p>\n

McCasland\u2019s wife, Susan McCasland Wilkerson, has also pushed back on speculation tying his disappearance to his past military work.<\/p>\n

“It is true that when Neil was in the Air Force, he had access to some highly classified programs and information,” she wrote in a Facebook post. “He retired from the AF almost 13 years ago and has had only very commonly held clearances since.”<\/p>\n

Before retiring in 2013, McCasland commanded the Air Force Research Laboratory<\/a> at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio and holds a Ph.D. in aerospace engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.<\/p>\n

Despite online speculation, his wife said he had no special knowledge about extraterrestrials or the Roswell incident.<\/p>\n

Authorities are asking anyone with information about McCasland\u2019s whereabouts to text BCSO to 847411 or contact the sheriff\u2019s Missing Persons Unit at 505-468-7070.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
