Summary
When Melissa Casias, an administrative assistant at the highly secretive Los Alamos National Laboratory, vanished without a trace, she left behind a trail of bizarre clues, including her personal belongings and a completely wiped cell phone. After her skeletonized remains were recently discovered by a hiker in a New Mexico national forest, her grieving family reportedly uncovered shocking new evidence at the scene that completely upends the initial investigation. Law&Crime's Jesse Weber sits down with the family's attorney, David Adams, and Los Angeles Magazine contributor and true crime reporter Lauren Conlin to break down what these disturbing new details mean for the case.
