After exhibiting bizarre behavior at Geoffrey’s, a restaurant in Malibu, 24-year-old Mitrice Richardson was arrested for not paying $89.21 for a dinner of Kobe beef steak and an Ocean Breeze cocktail.
When sheriff’s deputies arrived, they found a small amount of marijuana in her car, impounded it and took her into custody on suspicion of defrauding an innkeeper and possession of the drug. According to the restaurant staff, Richardson “said she was from Mars and started speaking in a made-up language”. Restaurant owner Jeff Peterson said, “She did tell my valet at one point that she was here to avenge Michael Jackson’s death.”
Released on her own recognizance, Richardson had no car, no cellphone and no purse when she left the Los Angeles County sheriff’s substation in Calabasas about 1:25 a.m. That was September 17; she hasn’t been seen or heard from since.
“We’re looking for all kinds of clues,” said Greg Fry of the California Emergency Mobile Patrol Search and Rescue team. Richardson’s mother, Latice Sutton, said she was shocked that her daughter hadn’t paid her bill, saying Richardson had $2,000 in a bank account. After seeing her mug shot, she said, “My daughter would never walk out of the house with her hair looking that way.”
Family and friends have created a website, findmitrice.info, to help find the Cal State Fullerton graduate.
Omg!! I hope they find her.
Some ppl need to use common sense…if she was high she would not have been released, DUH!!!! Is that too hard to comprehend??? Whether u say bad weed etc…she still wouldnt have been released if she was high!!!! LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE AND STOP BEING SO IGNORANT….Damn, Ignorance sure is prevalent in today’s world, and some of you dont even recognize its YOU!!! SAD!
It sounds like she may have been in a fugue state. Or, someone slipped her something in that cocktail. Whatever the case, the young lady was too unstable to just be released in the wee hours of the morning. I really pray that she is found unharmed and healthy.
Not to sound insensitive but, why is this news? Millions of black women/men go missing everyday, and their stories/circumstances are more horrific than hers. So, again I ask, why is this news?
How sad would it be if there was a “serial police force” who waited for her to be released and followed her because he knew she was cute and helpless? That would be no more bizarre than an emergency room doctor failing to resuscitate a man to steal his Rolex watch. Or, a politician sneaking an intern into the white house at night for his pleasure. Or a priest abusing alters boys. Doctors, Lawyers, politicians, police officers and ministers all have their “bad seeds” just like the society at large. Nothing suprises me anymore. I hope there’s an internal investigation.
64. sigh, I get the same “moderation” message when I post simple comments. I wonder if CL has flagged certain “buzz words” or maybe they are flagging certain people. Either way, the moderation message is usually removed within a few minutes. People with power…love to be in control. lol!
Mitrice is a good friend of mine. And I pray that she comes home soon safe!! I LOVE YOU SWEETIE!!!!!
God please let this girl be ok
You see what drugs do to you???????
I have a bad feeling about this, but I hope I’m wrong and they finde here
Shes been missing for a while now, i really hope they find her soon but its weird how she hasnt been found yet
Why are some ya’ll joking about this she could seriously be hurt or something comment like got some sense sheesh!
Anwayz i hope they find her she seems to have a mental illness
damn man thats fucked up..
i hope they find her.
it sounds like she was high tho.
The police didn’t do a good job handling this situation. I’ve read some info on the case and I’ve also seen her mugshot. She looked really out of it. She may have been slipped something, the marijuana she smoked could have been laced with something or she had some kind of manic episode which can be brought on by drugs. Poor girl, may God be with her. I pray for her safe return.
Thanks for this J. Dakar. I have not seen this on t.v. I hope that she is found safe.
This story is very interesting. Very strange that they would let a mentally deranged woman free at 1:25 in the morning with no identification and no vehicle. One would think that she would be detained for observation and possibly contacting a family menber or close friend. Since she alleged to be from Mars, I believe that some horny caucasian “officers” conspired to have their way with her and make it her last night on this planet for real. Iit’s done all the time. Recently here in New York, there was a story concerning two “officers” who assisted a drunk woman back to her apartment, then returned to rape the woman, and subsequently doctored the official police “record”. The outfit that this woman is wearing in the photo is also very interesting. She has the oroboros earrings, and her shirt has all occultic symbology (the lightning bolts, all-seeing eyes, skull and crossbones, etc.). I wonder if she could be an MK-ULTRA Monarch child that snapped out of her programming and spazzed out?
some dude slipped her something

Above is some links to additional info regarding this young woman’s events that day.
That’s sad that they released her like that. They could have let her sleep on the floor of a cell and released her the following morning and had someone drop her off near a bus stop.
I didn’t go to the website but it sounded like a mental health case when I read it. Ppl like this young lady have to be watched. They stop taking their meds and get into trouble. The police should have taken her to the hospital. If she was having seizures, hyperventilating, etc they would have. But mental illness….I know that has to be very stressful on her mom. Makes me think of Mia Cambell. I hope she is alright. I was thinking about her the past couple of days.
THE POLICE SHOULDN’T RELEASE NO ONE AT ALL LATE AT NIGHT BY THEMSELVES ESPECIALLY IF THEY SEEM CRAZY OR HAVE AN ILLNESS. AND WHY THEY DIDN’T GIVE HER STUFF.
IF SHE WAS ACTING CRAZY B4 SHE WENT JAIL THEN SHE SHOULD HAD BEEN ACTING CRAZY IN THE JAIL CELL.
SORRY FOR THE ALL CAPS (not really)
I hope the police didn’t do anything to her. They should have taken her home at least.
CL did a story on Latasha Norm, 23. The story was posted on November 13, 2007. There was no more mention of his gir’l's story. Below is the link: http://concreteloop.com/2...tudent-missing-for-a-week. There wer other missing students that CL profiled, but there has be no updated info on these students efery since.
@ 3
I was thinking the SAME thing. I’ve never heard of someone being released without any possessions. Sounds like a cover up to me.
FUNNY HOW WHEN A WHITE WOMAN GOES MISSING I SEE HER FACE SPRAWLED ALL OVER THE TV, NEWSPAPERS, AND INTERNET 40 TIMES A DAY. A BLACK WOMAN GOES MISSING AND SHE GETS MAYBE 30 SECONDS OF COVERAGE. I HAVEN’T HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT THIS GIRL UNTIL I CAME ON CL. WTF?
I hope that this woman goes back home to her loved ones safely. I live in L.A. i watch the news and I havent heard about this story! Big up to the CL for posting this I hope other media outlets follow. But mental illness is something serious no matter what race, status, or gender you are. Anybody who could make jokes about this should be ashamed… It is a serious matter when one of your loved ones disappears and you dont know wether they are well or hurt. Lets just pray for this women and her family!
I do hope she is found , safe & alive .
& if she truely was MENTALLY ill ; and not just high off her ass –off a “chewy” [ a blunt mixed w/ coke for those who dont know’ then it is on the COPS ! but honestly i got arrested when i was 18 ; and honestly still dont know the reason , because i was never given a citation or court date ; possibly for talking shit to the police? and being a little intoxicated while doing so? either way i didnt get charged for anything!idk all i know is i was arrested around 1am and they released me a little before 5am ; due to over-crowding and it was still very dark outside . they didnt care ; i got released with all my posessions but my cellphone was nearly dead and they knew so ! I dont understand why so many people here are shocked that she was released in the middle of the night with no questions or concerns on the officers part! Once you’ve been arrrested , no matter how serious or non-srious the “crime” may be , your a criminal in their eyes regardless of your race and they show NO mercy! trust me ; i’ve been there !
They should have taken her to the hospital – not jail. If they cared a little bit, they may have figured that she could have been having some sort of mental episode vs. being high. And if she was high – why release her in the middle of the night with nothing? They better investigate the law enforcement officers on duty that night.
I pray that she is found safe – but as the days go on, that is less likely.
Another case of mental illness, maybe?
Could this be yet another Maia Campbell?
Well, considering the circumstances, the FBI should be involved on this one. Why? Because she WAS at the police station and it does strike as odd that they would “release” a small petite female who’s obviously in a compromised state.
Something don’t pass the smell test here. Plus, those stations are now LOADED with video cameras. Have they released any tape of her leaving the station? That should be question 1, if not only to absolve the police department of doing something to her…
But on the real, there are some strong lessons in this story for women today. Quit being hardheaded and thinking you can do whateva. This chick was probably hopped up on some drugs or something, or whomever she was with might have drugged her then left out for some reason, leaving her in a sloshed state. Who knows, but at the end of the day, many, many females do all kind of dumb shit today and it kills me how many think like they he-man or something and can handle a man…
@Judah-you’re on it…
I thought when the popo release you – you get your belongings back. Especially your cell phone and money.
Oh you cann believe that the LAPD killed her and R covering it up
Oh you cann believe that the LAPD killed her and R covering it up
@ Judah
I noticed the occultic symbols on her shirt too…But then again, that’s become the “fashion” now adays; those symbols are everywhere.
It definently makes you go hmmm….
Hope she’ll be alright
I don’t wanna pass judgment because I was not there and who am I to judge? and she might have mental illness and if it was any white chick missing they’ll be passing her image through news all accross America : Us and Canada even Mexico
however my momma always told me never to smoke weed or to take any drugs!!! when I go in public I avoid drinking a lot of alcohol because I’m black and I’m a woman and there is a bunch of predators outside looking for opportunity to bite me, don’t wanna sound paranoiac but damn if you know that they won’t be searching for you like a damn blond girl why will you take the chance to play with your life? you gotta be extra careful you never know what could happen!!!
HOPE THEY’LL FIND THIS BEAUTIFUL WOMAN MY PRAYERS TO HER FAMILY
damn what kind of weed was she smokin?
“left the Los Angeles County sheriff’s substation in Calabasas about 1:25 a.m”
I believe she never left. I suspect foul play. Mental Health patients should not be placed in gen population. They need special monitoring. She may have died while in custody and a cover up is in play. Why would she leave without her property?
This just does not smell right. My prayers go out to the family.
kind
This doesnt make sense
hope she get fount.
My prayers are with her and her family. I pray that she is well.
THIS STORY IS VERY FISHY AND THERE MUST BE A COMPLETE INTERNAL INVESTIGATION. THERE IS NO WAY YOU RELEASE A YOUNG LADY IN A REMOTE AREA IN THE SANTA MONICA MOUNTAIN RANGE TO BE KILLED AT 1:23AM.
SHE WAS ARRESTED & SHE DIDN’T HAVE ANY MONEY!!! THINK PEOPLE WE CANNOT LET THIS CASE GO UNSOLVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Apparently none of you ppl have ever been arrested before lol…which is a good thing. But, if they arrest you and you don’t have your “stuff” on your person then you won’t have it when you get released. During the one unfortunate incident that resulted in my arrest, my purse, keys and phone were all in my car. The Culver City police let me out with nothing and said “bye” basically. Then the impound spot was closed, I couldn’t remember nobody’s phone number…it sucked. I had to walk quite a few miles (in high heels) to someone’s house that I knew.
So, its not strange or fishy that they let her out like that. It probably happens a lot. I do hope they find her though.
My thing is she was released on her own recognizance… clearly she needs help. What is we gon do?
When locked up you are entitled to one phone call (what happened)? Also, you telling me if you her family or friend and you called her and she did not answer her phone and did not here from her for all those hours that you would look for her? If she wnt in on drug charges to who posted bond?
thank you #28 when a white women is missing her damn face is all over the TV even damn milk cartons but a black women you never hear shi– about her. I did not hear this story until i came on this website today. I am sorry they call black women angry all day but i am angry at this this is someone’s niece, aunt, daughter yet no one gives a damn to investigate her last tracks or why she was released without them contacting a family member knowing when they first got her she was not right in the mind so why release her alone at 1 in the morning. I am tired of this shi- this makes you angry because this can be our niece or aunt missing one day and this is the publicity she gets!!
Damn, I heard about this on the news. I thought they would have found her by now. I hope she is ok, she graduated from my college, and I heard she was going back for her doctorate. I wonder why the police would release her if she had mental problems??? They should have had someone come get her, or maybe since she’s an adult, maybe that’s why they released her. But people with mental problems should not be released out on the streets by themselves..smh I pray that she’s ok, hope they find her soon, may God be with her and her family!
sad. i hope they find her safe n well
I feel for her and the family. I just dont understand how the police let her walk out of the police station after being arrested for not paying her bill and having pot on her. You are telling me noone saw this women leave the station or walking down the street. thats hope she is found safely soon. God bless the family.
Holy shxt! Gosh, I hope someone finds her soon.
WHAT A SHAME ,,VERY BEAUTIFUL GIRL I HOPE SHE’S FOUND SAFE AND ALIVE …..MY HEART GOES OUT TO HER MOTHER …I KNOW HOW IT FEEL’S
MY EX HUSBAND KIDNAPPED MY 2 DAUGHTER’S TOOK THEM ALL THE WAY TO BRAZIL WITH THERE GRANDPARENT’S, TOOK ME A YEAR 3MONTHS AND 14 DAYS TO FIND THEM ..IT IS TRULY AN OUTER BODY EXPERIENCE…LIKE U’VE LOST ALL CONTROL OF SELF…MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO THE FAMILY………GODBLESS……..PS.GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME
The reason this is news is because none of us are truly safe, because every black woman reading this needs to know that the possibility of her being raped, beaten, kidnapped, killed, or a combination of those, is way higher than with any other woman. We’re not looked at as valuable and thus, people see hurting us as no problem. She sounds like a beautiful, smart woman who had her whole life ahead of her.
I hope they find her, but i’m not going to be naive, they probably won’t.
