What happened to Mitrice Richardson? A recent college graduate, she was jailed briefly for trying to skip out on her dinner tab in Malibu, then freed in the middle of the night in a neighborhood far from home. She had no car, no ride, no phone, and no money. When she disappeared, it raised a flurry of questions about how the sheriff’s department handled her case. The discovery of her body a year later only raised more.
the story is nominated for an American Society of Magazine Editors Award.
SMH, Boooooooooooooooooooooost. She used to frequent one of my favorite message boards. I did not know her, but other members there did. Others were very active in trying to help in the search and reached out to her family.
The sherif’s dept has been suspicious from the beginning and have not been a reliable source for information.
i read that article & couldn’t stop crying.
I’m gutted.

Wow.. How could they be so careless!
Just finished reading this. Genuinely feeling sick to my stomach…like the vile-ness of her story has manifested...
A long read but a good read. Journalism still exists.
This is why when I say fuck the police I mean it with every fibre of my being.
This story is so sad yet intriguing
Signal boost. What the actual fuck?
