New reward offered as mystery and outrage over Mitrice Richardson’s death endures
LA TimesMental health worker Kim Howard places a photograph of Mitrice Richardson outside the Malibu-Lost Hills sheriff’s station in 2019 for a memorial held on the 10th anniversary of Richardson’s disappearance. Staff at the restaurant later revealed that sheriff’s officials tried to get them to sign statements after her disappearance that omitted the information about Richardson’s bizarre behavior. In a call to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, one of the homeowners described the prowler as a “tall, slim Black woman with Afro hair, very skinny.” Investigators were convinced Richardson had somehow wandered from the station on Agoura Road down Malibu Canyon and Piuma roads to Cold Canyon Road in Monte Nido. The county’s then Office of Independent Review concluded in a report that deputies at the Malibu-Lost Hills station acted appropriately the night Richardson was released and gave her the chance to stay voluntarily.
