## Resource

The human remains of Melissa Casias, a missing Los Alamos National Laboratory worker, have been discovered nearly a year after her disappearance in New Mexico's Carson National Forest. The strange discovery breathes new life into a staggering federal investigation concerning more than a dozen mysterious deaths and disappearances of U.S. scientists with access to sensitive military secrets, including missing retired Air Force Major General William "Neil" McCasland. Law&Crime's Jesse Weber breaks down the latest chilling updates alongside private investigator Ashton Packe to analyze what these developments mean for national security.
