Melissa Casias was among those flagged by FBI and House Oversight investigations into nuclear-linked disappearances
One of the bodies of the 11 mysteriously missing persons that had potential ties to U.S. nuclear secrets or rocket technology has been discovered by a hiker in a New Mexico national forest.
Police have identified the remains of Melissa Casias, 54, a missing Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) worker. Her disappearance became part of a wider swirl of speculation over scientists and lab-linked employees who vanished or died under unclear circumstances that spurred President Donald Trump's attention and a House Oversight Committee investigation.
The New Mexico State Police Investigations Bureau was informed Thursday that the hiker found Casias in the McGaffey Ridge area of the Carson National Forest with a handgun alongside her remains, according to a NMSPBI Facebook post late Saturday night.
"The cause and manner of death have not yet been determined," according to police, which noted the Office of the Medical Investigator (OMI) identified the remains as those of Casias and are conducting "further anthropological examination."
Casias, from Taos, New Mexico, and Anthony Chavez worked at LANL, a leading nuclear research facility in New Mexico, and both were among those marked as suspiciously missing by FBI and House Oversight investigations.
"The New Mexico State Police extend their deepest condolences to the Casias and Mondragon families during this difficult time," the agency wrote in its release.

Wow, this is news!
Foul play?
Looks like a suicide..................
More info. from an earlier evidence find...she left her phones (wiped/reset) and other items behid and walked away from home. Plus she wasn’t a nuclear/rocket scientist...job title was “Admin. Assistant” at LANL in NM.

I’m surprised they allowed her body to be found. Generally a very risky move, but sometimes they do it to send a message. So perhaps that explains it.
Fair enough - but admin assisstants, especially if they have been on staff for a long time, can know a lot about an establishment. This wave of deaths and disappearances is concerning.
Casias’ remains were found by a hiker last weekend after she was last seen June 26, 2025, according to New Mexico State Police.Why does this article withhold from us this vital detail?
Without it, the reader could legitimately guess that she was last seen during the Clinton Administration!

The workplace must have been murder.
Hey now THAT’S a career for the chronically unemployed - nuclear lab worker. Won’t need a degree, just a willingness to give your life for your country, eventually.
dumb ass
There is no understanding of the inside of the mind of a person willing to kill themselves, or what demons she was fighting..................
Somebody probably told her the truth... There are no aliens... And she obviously couldn’t handle ‘the truth’.

Or….or, she was about to go public with alien disclosure so they Vince Fostered her. Yeah, I said it. *folds arms smugly*
Interesting that she wiped her phones before departing without them. She wanted to hide her recent texts and/or calls before her suicide. Romance gone bad?
Unlikely. Women usually do not react to romantic exclusions by committing suicide................
“They” who pray tell?
