Episode Description from the Publisher

Melissa Casias was not a "scientist", she worked as an administrative assistant at Los Alamos National Laboratory, a major U.S. nuclear research facility. Her husband also worked there. Melissa vanished on June 26, 2025. She was last seen walking along a state highway. An extensive search failed to find Melissa. Nearly a year after her disappearance, on May 28, 2026, her skeletonized remains were found along the McGaffey Ridge in the Carson National Forest, an area that had been searched previously without success. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack examine the known and unknown facts of the case. In the last few weeks, Joseph Scott Morgan has appeared on multiple TV shows, podcasts, and in print interviews talking about the "atypical" gunshot wound to the back of the head of Melissa Casias. Now he delves even deeper into the mysterious death of Melissa Casias.  Highlights 00:01.400 Setting the Stage for Body Bags00:10.310 The Blue Ridge Mountains' Solace01:14.000 A Mysterious Disappearance in New Mexico04:38.930 New Mexico's Military and Scientific Secrets09:32.520 The Atypical Gunshot Wound15:46.620 Melissa's Fateful Day28:19.180 The Search and Discovery33:03.570 The Bizarre Position and Cause of Death35:14.700 The Challenges of Post-Mortem Positioning35:51.010 An Atypical Gunshot Wound42:03.060 The Complexity of Self-Inflicted Gunshot48:43.300 The Investigation's Many Threads50:13.219 Closing Thoughts on an Undetermined Case    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
