The mother of a 24-year-old California woman whose decomposed remains were found in Malibu Canyon in August said Monday she believes her daughter was murdered and asked that the coroner exhume the remains and the FBI crime lab examine her clothing.
Mitrice Richardson was last seen leaving a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Lost Hills/Malibu station in September 2009 after being detained by deputies on a citizen’s arrest complaint made by a restaurant manager.
She was missing for 11 months until her remains were discovered by park rangers searching an area of the Santa Monica Mountains for marijuana fields, authorities said.
