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.
