From the same article:

"She was last seen on camera on June 25, 2025 walking alone on a highway without her wallet, phone or keys, after telling family members she would be working from home"
Bizarre similarities.

Not sure if this has already been shared here. Article behind paywall unfortunately

OK, these possible links are getting my attention. Perhaps more than coincidence. I could not get behind the paywall, so I am left wondering who is the 4th person (in cover pic) being "linked" to NM.

I can't access the article either, but the circled man is Carl Grillmair, a renowned astrophysicist shot at the porch of his home in Llano, CA on Feb 16 2026. The suspect, Freddy Snyder, is awaiting trial.

The amount of people in similar high-clearance roles, or at least associated with them, going missing is definitely odd. Totally possible it's a coincidence, but still weird.


I wish they'd expand on the clothing found in his Colorado home. Clothing he was known to have in Albuquerque? Clothing that was out of place and shouldn't have been there? Definitely weird.
I just can't get past that this man, who apparently spent his much of his life involved in various top secret type military weapons research and development, just coincidently happens to vanish less that 24 hours before the U.S. drops its first bombs on Iran on Feb. 28. Weird indeed. IMO

What's in the backpack: my gun and various other anti-dog

So, I have a question for you (or anybody else familiar with handguns). I’ve gotten a bit hung up on Gen McCasland’s gun being described as a “.38 revolver”.

Theoretically, would this be your choice for predator defense in the desert while hiking? I dunno, there’s lots we don’t know (specific model, loadout) but I don’t think it would be mine, or, anecdotally, that of EDC friends. It seems a revolver in .44/.45 might be preferred in situations where large predators (grizzlies) are a legitimate concern, but otherwise a standard semiauto in 9/10mm (or even .22lr) would be more common. (And lighter, if you’re hiking.)

ALL IMO

I'm by no means a gun guru, but here's my family's take on it. Revolvers are dependable, pistols aren't. If you don't maintain a pistol or if it gets dirt in it you've got a good chance that it will jam and not fire (which is probably what happened with Richard Allen's pistol and led to him cycling a round out on the forest floor).

Revolvers can get dirty and they're still gonna fire. Much more dependable for self defense if you're an average gun owner. So yeah for a dusty arid climate, the revolver would definitely be a wiser choice.

It may also simply be a matter of bringing what you have. Unless you are a collector of guns of various sorts, maybe you just aren’t into guns but you do have one that you see as fairly general purpose that you felt competent enough using. So you bring what you have because that’s what you’ve got in the moment.
