Nidal T. Baem orders silence and the removal of missing person flyers for whistleblower Richard Halliday, sparking fears of a cover-up in connection with his disappearance.

In October 2020, Nidal T. Baem, identifing himself as an agent for the FBI, made a startling declaration at a Dollar General store in El Paso, Texas. He instructed the store’s cashier to remove missing person flyers of Fort Bliss soldier Richard Halliday, a known whistleblower. Mr. Baem further ordered the cashier to remain silent about the fact that Richard was dead, implying that the search for him was over. This event, captured on CCTV footage, raised significant concerns about a potential cover-up regarding Richard’s disappearance.

Mr. Baem made further claims, stating that the FBI had discovered Richard Halliday’s remains in Juarez, Mexico. He mentioned that the authorities were investigating five different locations to confirm the presence of Richard’s remains. Mr. Baem’s assertions were significant because, according to established procedures, the FBI would only make such claims if they had definitive proof, such as DNA testing or dental records, to identify the remains as Richard’s.

Subsequently, a board of inquiry declared Richard Halliday deceased based on the evidence provided, presumably including the DNA and dental records mentioned. This marked a turning point in the investigation, to a international capital murder investigation.
