The husband of missing Los Alamos National Laboratory employee Melissa Casias has filed for a restraining order against a private investigator. According to the filings reported by outlets, the husband says he is concerned for his family’s safety and seeks court protection while the investigation into Casias’s disappearance continues.

The request comes after the case drew widespread public attention. The husband’s application focuses on his alleged fears regarding the actions or involvement of the private investigator, rather than providing new details about the circumstances of Casias’s disappearance itself. The restraining order request is intended to limit contact or activity by the investigator pending the outcome of any related proceedings.

As of the reporting, the outlets do not describe additional confirmed developments about Casias’s location. The case remains under investigation, with the husband’s legal action representing a separate track involving privacy and safety concerns tied to third-party investigative activity.
