SummaryNUCLEAR LAB WORKER: 2 SHOCK ITEMS IN GRISLY DISCOVERY
Yesterday00:38:24Summary readyNew information surrounding the death of former Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) employee Melissa Casias spurs new questions of whether or not she committed suicide. The last know image of Melissa shows her carrying what appears to be a full backpack. Her skeletonized body was found sitting upright with a bullet wound, and weapon near the body. However, an initial CT scan reportedly found no bullets or projectiles in her skull. Also it was thought that Melissa took nothing with her from her home and her phones were reset to factory setting.
