Evidence has been found at the site where a missing nuclear lab assistant was found dead, raising concerns about the state of the investigation.A lawyer for the family of Melissa Casias, who vanished in June last year and was found dead 11 months later, told the Daily Mail several red flags involving law enforcement led loved ones to start their own search for answers - with stunning results.David Adams of Parnall and Adams Law revealed that a trove of evidence was discovered nearly a month after New Mexico State Police had officially declared the crime scene clear and removed Casias's skeletal remains for medical examination.That independent search of New Mexico's Carson National Forest in late June uncovered bones, torn and bloody clothing, orange peels and strands of hair that were not collected by police when the 53-year-old's body was found on May 28.The lawyer also revealed that the family strongly believed Casias did not take her own life and had no reason to disappear.Adams explained: 'There seemed to be a separate narrative taking place that somehow she wanted to be missing and that she had other places that she would be.'Although the origins of the hair found at the scene have not been determined yet, the attorney noted that it appeared to be horse hair and theorized that the body of Casias may have been taken to this location by an unknown suspect.'In my mind, when you see that, you kind of go, okay, well, I could see that you would need a horse to get her up there if you were moving a body, for instance, because how you would otherwise do that,' Adams said. Melissa Casias worked at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, a long-running nuclear research facility, before disappearing on June 26 last year. Her remains were found on May 28
