It doesn't get any more obvious. She was murdered.

This is crazy and sounds exactly like all the science and military people going missing lately. Phones and vehicles at home, guns with them, families saying suicides are massively out of character.

If she did comment suicide there's something that scared her and pushed her to do it.

9:22 See, this is where people don’t get it — it’s VERY logical! Why? I bet she knew stuff that was not meant to be said. For example, since she was an assistant, that could mean she scheduled important meetings with “important “ people! She knew too much! At least in the companies I worked for, most administrative personnel knew everything like who left, when to layoff people, they are the people who are underrated…However it could also be that She was betrayed. She might have thought she was going to be protected… who knows, just use your imagination ! But I don’t think she was suicidal. It was definitely planned — she gave her daughter a sandwich to say goodbye.

So Chavez then Reza then Casias within weeks of each other. Come on? Chavez previously worked at Los Alamos. Casias vanished four days after Reza. She might not have had a high security clearance but her husband did. At this point the narrative that this was self inflicted is far more questionable .

Why would she go off herself far away in an area where she may have never been found? That surely doesn't make any sense either. Way too many scientist going missing under crazy circumstances for it to be coincidence.
