About this episode

The episode discusses the mysterious disappearance of Melissa Casias and the events surrounding it.

Melissa Casias dropped lunch off to her daughter Sierra at 12:57 p.m. on June 26, 2025. She sent her last text at 1:33 p.m. At 1:38 p.m., her phone was reset. At 2:18 p.m., surveillance footage from a home on Highway 518 captured a woman with a black backpack walking eastbound. That's 40 minutes — almost exactly the walking distance between the Casias home and that location. A coincidence? Gina and Amber don't think so. In this episode, they pick up where Part One left off: the days and weeks following Melissa's disappearance, the organized searches, Mark Casias's recorded phone calls, the disturbing patterns emerging from inside the marriage, and the surveillance footage that raises more questions than it answers. 🚨 If You Have Information New Mexico State Police: (505) 425-6771 Crime Stoppers (anonymous): (505) 843-STOP | Text ABQCS to 738477 Find Melissa Mondragon Casias on Facebook GoFundMe Reward Fund Sources New Mexico State Police Report — on file FBI: No-Body Homicide Cases — A Practical Approach (Special Agent Michael Yoder) Recorded Phone Calls provided by family Interview Transcript with Trudy and Jazmin Weird True Crime is an independent true crime podcast.
