Isang bangungot daw ang sinapit ng Filipino-American activist na si Melissa Roxas sa kamay ng mga diumano'y sundalo ng Armed Forces of the Philippines noong May 19, 2009. Siya raw kasi ay pinagbintangang aktibong miyembro ng New People's Army. Nasa isang medical mission daw si Melissa sa Lapaz,Tarlac nang siya'y dukutin ng labing-limang (15 ba o 5 as stated above?) kalalakihan. Mula noon, anim na araw at gabi raw siyang tinorture. Siya daw ay pinosasan at piniringan naaninag daw niya ang mga nagpahirap sa kaniya . Hanggang sa ngayon nakawala na siya, patuloy na itinatanggi ni Melissa na siya ay miyembro ng NPA kahit na igiit pa ito ni dating Maj. General Jovito Palparan na ngayon ay Party List Representative na. Ayon kay Rep. Palparan, may video na magpapatunay na si Melissa Roxas ay nagsasanay sa kampo ng NPA. Pinabulaanan din ng Armed Forces of the Philippines na walang katotohanan ang alegasyon ni Melissa Roxas laban sa kanila. Huwag palampasin ngayong Huwebes sa Case Unclosed kasama si Arnold Clavio ang kuwento ni Melissa Roxas na isinadula sa direksyon ng indie filmmaker na si Ed Lejano.
