The remains of a Los Alamos National Laboratory employee who had been missing for nearly a year were found last month in a remote area of northern New Mexico, bringing a measure of closure to her family while leaving key questions unanswered as investigators continue their work.

According to authorities, a hiker discovered the remains of 45-year-old Melissa Casias and a handgun on May 28 in the McGaffey Ridge area of Carson National Forest. The New Mexico State Police, working with the Office of the Medical Investigator, later confirmed the.

A new report says the wife of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani liked dozens of anti-Israel posts on social media — including one that described reports of sexual violence during Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack as a “mass hoax.”

Journalist Olivia Reingold said she identified roughly 70 Instagram posts that Rama Duwaji had liked.

One of the posts criticized The New York Times’ reporting on sexual assaults during the Oct. 7 attack and described the allegations as a “mass rape hoax.”

Other posts she liked reportedly accused Israel of a “vile land grab,” supported pro-Palestinian activism, and criticized U.S. support for Israel.

Reporting also said New York City’s first lady liked posts shortly after the Oct. 7 attack, referencing “Palestinian resistance” and images associated with militants breaching the Israel-Gaza barrier.

Mediaite continues:

As for the “mass rape hoax” claim, the United Nations reported there was evidence of sexual violence against Israelis on October 7, as well as against hostages who were taken to Gaza.

PBS reported in 2024:

The United Nations and other organizations have presented credible evidence that Hamas militants committed sexual assault during their rampage. The prosecutor for the International Criminal Court, Karim Khan, said Monday he had reason to believe that three key Hamas leaders bore responsibility for “rape and other acts of sexual violence as crimes against humanity.”

Though the number of assaults is unclear, photo and video from the attack’s aftermath have shown bodies with legs splayed, clothes torn and blood near their genitals.

Mayor Mamdani responded by stressing that his wife is a private citizen who holds no role in his administration.

His office also reiterated that Hamas is a terrorist organization and described the Oct. 7 attack as a “horrific war crime.”

The controversy comes as Mamdani faces political scrutiny over his progressive views and his stance on the Israel-Gaza conflict.

Supporters say the posts came from a private account belonging to a non-government figure, while critics argue the activity raises broader political questions.
