Police have revealed a new clue in the death of a missing nuclear lab employee, as a shocking and chilling theory emerges which some believe points to foul play.
New Mexico State Police told the Daily Mail that forensic investigators have reconstructed the skull of Melissa Casias, the missing administrative assistant from the Los Alamos National Laboratory who vanished without a trace on June 26, 2025.
Casias's skeletal remains were discovered in New Mexico's Carson National Forest on May 28, next to a handgun which her family said did not belong to the wife and mother.
While some experts examining the case have speculated that Casias's life may have ended in suicide, police made a chilling revelation that casts some doubt on the lab worker's cause of death.
In a statement to the Daily Mail, authorities confirmed that 'the initial CT scan did not reveal any projectiles in the skull,' meaning a bullet was not recovered along with the skull fragments found in the woods.
