The disappearance and death of Mitrice Richardson remains Malibu, CA’s most baffling unsolved case. It’s been nearly 14 years since her remains were discovered in a remote canyon, and still, no one…
Dana GoodyearHostI got a text message.
"Hey, there was a partially mummified skeletal remains, naked, found in Monte Nido."
They discovered a skull, they discovered a pelvis, and they discovered a leg, uh, just bones.
So it was a cover-up from the time Mitrice was released all the way up and still to now.
To this day, it's still a cover-up.
Homicide will continue their investigation.
If there was foul play involved, someone could confess.
It's likely that we can never find out exactly how she got there, but they're gonna do their very best to figure that out.
Mitrice was young and Black and beautiful, a professional dancer who was applying to graduate school in psychology.
She was also in the midst of what law enforcement now acknowledges was a severe mental health episode.
What they don't say is that her mental state would've made her an easy victim for a human predator.
