From New York Post:
A US rocket scientist vanished without a trace on a Los Angeles hike eight months before retired Air Force Gen. William McCasland disappeared under eerily similar circumstances — and the two had a close professional connection.
Monica Reza went missing on the morning of June 22, 2025, in the Angeles National Forest while hiking with two experienced companions who were exploring the popular Mount Waterman Trail, according to a Facebook page dedicated to finding her. Volunteers and authorities searched the area for months using helicopters, radar, droves of hikers, and dogs — but have found no trace of Reza, 60, who is still considered a missing person, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
