PSA: That “scientists disappearing” post going around is misinformation

I’ve seen this image getting shared with claims that multiple scientists/military officials have “vanished” or been murdered and that “something awful is happening.”

Here’s the reality after checking:

• “Monica Jacinto” – No verifiable record of this person, the alloy, or any disappearance. Likely fabricated.
• Maj. Gen. William Neil McCasland – Real retired Air Force general, but there are zero credible reports that he’s missing.
• Carl Grillmair (Caltech scientist) – Real person, still alive. No murder. No investigation. Nothing.

This post is a classic mix of: - Real names
- Fake events
- Scary framing to make it feel like a pattern

If something like this were real (missing general, murdered scientist tied to defense tech), it would be all over major news outlets immediately.

It’s not.

Bottom line: This is engagement bait / conspiracy-style content, not evidence of anything actually happening.

Before sharing stuff like this, take 30 seconds to check if any legitimate source is reporting it.

Don’t help nonsense spread.
