MELISSA ADAN: Tonight as the FBI pours over mysterious vials and other evidence seized from an alleged biolab inside a garage in this Las Vegas neighborhood, new court documents claim multiple employees of the home's property manager became, quote, "deathly ill” after entering the home's garage or spending time in the home, which was also an AirBnb. One employee who they call Kelly, because she didn't want to give her name, told investigators five days after entering the garage they got so sick they could not get out of bed. A law enforcement source has told ABC News they took 1,000 items from the home, including vials of unknown substances, some labeled in Mandarin Chinese. The property manager, Ori Solomon, now under arrest facing both federal and state charges, including disposing of hazardous waste consistent with biological agents. The homeowner is a Chinese national arrested in 2023 after authorities in Reedley, California said he operated an illegal biological lab that was funded by Chinese banks. He’s pleaded not guilty. David, records show that homeowner has two dozen properties that ABC News sources say are now being searched. David.

MUIR: Melissa Adan here in Los Angeles tonight. Melissa, thank you.
