About this episode

Melissa Casias' remains were found by a hiker May 28 in Carson National Forest in New Mexico, nearly a year after she disappeared. Casias worked at Los Alamos as an administrative assistant, and her death now linked to the 17 other missing or dead scientists. Authorities found a handgun nearby the remains. The remains were skeletonized when found by a hiker in the McGaffey Ridge area of the Carson National Forest. Reports indicate a gunshot wound to the head, but no bullet was found.
