The mystery regarding the missing and dead scientists and personnel connected to top-secret U.S. nuclear programs continues. On Saturday, New Mexico State Police announced the remains of a woman who was found by a hiker at the Carson National Forest have been identified as a former employee of the Los Alamos National Laboratory who went missing last year. The Los Alamos National Laboratory serves as a research institute for the Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration, which is most notable for being the place where the first-ever atomic bomb was created. Fox News provided the full scoop on the investigation and identified the woman: 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. Casias was reported missing June 25, 2025, after she failed to arrive at work and did not return home after visiting her daughter at work, police said. Her family later found that her purse, identification and cellphones had been left behind, prompting concern for her welfare and a missing person investigation. Here was the last known video of Casias before she went missing: Human Remains of Missing Los Alamos Lab Employee Found in New Mexico Forest Human remains believed to be those of Melissa Casias, a Los Alamos National Laboratory employee who disappeared in June 2025, have been discovered in New Mexico’s Carson National Forest.

They include former Los Alamos employee Anthony Chavez, 79, who vanished without a trace after leaving his home on foot on May 4, 2025, just seven weeks before Casias. Steven Garcia, a government contractor working for a major facility in Albuquerque, also disappeared after walking out of his home on Aug. 28, 2025, carrying only a handgun and no identification. The string of mysterious deaths and disappearances in recent years began in 2023 with the death of experienced NASA scientist Michael David Hicks, according to officials. Hick, 59, who worked at the Agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) for nearly 25 years, died July 30, apparently of natural causes. However, the following year, two others connected to JPL died or disappeared. In 2024, space research specialist Frank Maiwald died in Los Angeles at age 61. Monica Reza, a 60-year-old aerospace engineer who served as the director of the NASA Lab’s Materials Processing Group, disappeared while hiking in a Los Angeles forest in June 2025. Retired Air Force major general William Neil McCasland hasn’t been seen since leaving his home in Albuquerque on Feb. 27, leaving behind his phone, prescription glasses, and wearable devices. The FBI is now involved in the search for McCasland, 68, who was involved in some of the Pentagon’s most advanced aerospace research and once headed up the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio.

While searching the property authorities found a wooden tunnel believed to be headed toward the U.S. border. Based on the evidence seized during the search warrant, Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office said the property likely functioned as a hub for storage and trafficking of weapons, explosives and illicit substances. The evidence and property have now been turned over to the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office, which will continue the investigation in accordance with the law. “Special Agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in San Diego, in coordination with our Homeland Security Task Force (HSTF) partners, are conducting a criminal enforcement operation involving a cross-border subterranean tunnel in Otay Mesa, CA. To protect the integrity of the ongoing investigation and ensure the safety of all involved, we are unable provide additional details at this time,” a Homeland Security Investigations spokesperson said in a statement to the outlet.

Cross-border tunnels have long been used by transnational criminal organizations to move drugs, cash and other contraband between Mexico and the United States while avoiding heavily monitored ports of entry and border security infrastructure.

Here’s your lighthearted news story for the week. A video that has gone viral on X and TikTok shows the moment a bear in North Carolina broke into a U-Haul. The bear did not leave the U-Haul empty-handed, either! In the video, the bear can be seen snatching a bag from inside the vehicle. Watch here: Yahoo News reported more on the viral incident: A bear was spotted easily breaking into a U-Haul van in Asheville, North Carolina, on Thursday, May 28, much to the amusement of onlookers. Haley Lambert told Storyful that she and her partner were in their car when they noticed the black bear sauntering up to the van. Footage filmed by Lambert shows the bear opening the driver’s side door of the U-Haul and climbing in the vehicle. “You know how to drive? Do you have your license?” she jokes. The animal rummaged through the U-Haul, grabbing a brown bag and exiting the van with the bag in its mouth. Lambert shared the footage on TikTok, captioning it: “First day in Asheville – had to helplessly watch our neighbors get robbed.” Although the bear in this video did no harm to bystanders, in recent months, bear attacks have been reported at several national parks, including Yellowstone. ABC News reports: Two hikers were mauled in a possible grizzly bear attack at Yellowstone National Park. Another hiker found them by following bear prints in the mud and hearing calls for help. @TrevorLAult has the latest. https://t.co/frApN63eLi pic.twitter.com/itIJlCpYmG — World News Tonight (@ABCWorldNews) May 5, 2026 ABC 7 News reported in April that two U.S. soldiers were attacked by a bear during a training exercise in Alaska: Two U.S. Army soldiers have been injured after encountering a brown bear in a mountainous training area in Anchorage, the military said Friday. The incident happened Thursday as the soldiers were participating in a “land navigation training event” in Arctic Valley, part of the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson’s training area. The soldiers were receiving medical care as of Friday, a military official told the Anchorage Daily News. Messages sent to base spokespersons were not immediately returned to The Associated Press on Friday. The soldiers’ conditions were not released pending notification of relatives. Both soldiers used pepper spray on the bear, the official said. Few other details were available about the incident because it was still under investigation. “The safety and well-being of our personnel is our highest priority,” Lt. Col. Jo Nederhoed, a spokesperson for the U.S. Army 11th Airborne Division, said in an email to the Anchorage Daily News. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game is investigating what it says appears to have been “a defensive attack” by a bear that had recently emerged from a den. The area near where the incident occurred has been closed to recreational activity by base officials, the department said. This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani wasted no time establishing an inner circle of radical leftists aligned with his socialist agenda. But months after taking office, the controversial appointments continue piling up.  Most recently, the New York Post reported on the background of Edwin Raymond to the post of New York City sheriff: In his 2023 book “An Inconvenient Cop,” Raymond doubled down, saying “today’s police force is the kin of the slave patrols of the nineteenth century and the Black Codes of the Jim Crow South.” “Anyone who knows their history understands that it’s no exaggeration to draw a straight line from there to here,” he wrote. “The NYPD model has been packaged and sold by politicians and top cops in New York who have made millions off it.” In 2015, Raymond and 11 other black and Hispanic cops made headlines by filing a federal lawsuit against the NYPD, accusing Transit Bureau supervisors of mandating arrest quotas of people of color. “Edwin Raymond represents the kind of public servant New Yorkers deserve: principled, courageous and deeply committed to justice,” Mayor Zohran Mamdani said in a statement Friday.   The NYPD adamantly denied the allegations. The case was dismissed, but is currently under appeal. In 2017, the NYPD launched an internal probe against Raymond for giving a domestic violence suspect a slide for being Black. The investigation resulted in Raymond being found guilty of failing to make arrests, improper supervision, and failing to maintain activity logs, for which he was penalized 20 vacation days, according to disciplinary records posted by 50-a.org. Other troubling details from his past have fueled concerns on social media: Let's fire anyone that tries to do what's right and put morons and commies in their place. Great idea of the destruction of the US which will fail and Mamdani and affiliated will go down! — DAC (@_DAC99) May 30, 2026 If I was NYPD I'd be trying so hard to get one of those contracts DeSantis was offering down in Florida to any police officers from out of state. ✌️ — Anthony Galli (@AnthonyGalli) May 29, 2026 Here’s what CBS News added: “Edwin Raymond represents the kind of public servant New Yorkers deserve: principled, courageous and deeply committed to justice,” the mayor said in a statement. “Throughout his career, he has fought to build a public safety system rooted in effectiveness, accountability and public trust. Edwin understands that true safety comes when government earns the confidence of the people it serves, and I am proud to welcome him to our administration as Sheriff of the City of New York.” Raymond worked for the NYPD for 15 years before retiring in 2023. He also served in the state attorney general’s office as the nation’s first social justice liaison. Here’s some additional commentary on the appointment: WATCH: @JohnMChell SLAMS Mamdani after the appointment of Edwin Raymond as NYC’s new sheriff. “Edwin Raymond is a complete FRAUD. We DON’T need a social activist warrior who is totally against policing” “Horrible pick, politics at play, and public safety once again will take… pic.twitter.com/CLtpve0erL — America Reports (@AmericaRpts) May 29, 2026 What are your thoughts?

Not all teenage girls love horses. Authorities in Las Vegas have arrested a teenage girl after she was accused of stabbing several horses at a barrel racing event. The teenager was taken into custody after investigators discovered she had access to the barn where the horses were stabbed. ABC 4 News reported more on the bizarre crime: Police have arrested a teenage girl accused of stabbing three horses at a barrel racing competition at South Point Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police were called to the South Point Casino & Hotel, which was hosting the 2026 Official NBHA Las Vegas Super Show, early Saturday, just after 2 a.m. Police say they found three horses injured with a sharp object inside a barn at the South Point Hotel’s equestrian center, with police saying they think the sharp object was a knife. During the investigation, police identified a teenage girl as a possible suspect because of her access to the barn where the horses were kept. Police also believe she may have used the knife to inflict injuries on the horses. The New York Post obtained photos of some of the horses that were stabbed: 'Obsessive' teen girl allegedly stabs three horses at Las Vegas barrel racing event – as grisly pictures emerge https://t.co/2yFddyIPbp pic.twitter.com/Sd9DVUdXFn — New York Post (@nypost) June 1, 2026 The New York Post reported more on the sadistic crime: Las Vegas Metropolitan Police said officers responded to a barn in the 9700 block of Las Vegas Boulevard South shortly after 2 a.m. regarding an injured horse. When they arrived, they found three horses that had been “intentionally injured with a sharp object.” Investigators soon identified the teenage competitor as a suspect, noting she had access to the barn where the horses were kept. “Investigators believe she may have used a knife to inflict multiple injuries to the horses,” police said in a news release. The injuries were not life-threatening but are expected to keep the horses out of competition, according to the Sun. One of the injured horses was Saaul Good — known as Sully. His owner, competitor Hailey Krahenbuhl, said the horse had been stabbed several times. “Sully was stabbed multiple times last night. I have no words, he is stitched up and in recovery,” Krahenbuhl wrote on Facebook. The National Barrel Horse Association has since released a statement on the attack, writing that the attack was an “isolated incident during the early morning hours of Saturday, May 30, involving the mistreatment of a limited number of equine competitors by an event competitor.” The NBHA added, “The individual involved has been removed and placed in the care of authorities, and there is no ongoing threat of any kind.” What are your thoughts?
