The Lost Hills Sheriff's Station isn't in Malibu, and it's not quite out in the middle of nowhere. Enter the following address into an online map: 27050 Agoura Road, Agoura, CA 91301
Interesting, it's not as remote as some of the previous postings would have one believe. From the way it sounded, I thought the place was out in Death Valley.

If you're on foot, walking at night and you make a wrong turn because you're in a very dark unfamiliar place it's remote and turned out to be her Death Valley. The distances on foot are not like neighborhood blocks, they're long long stretches of road with nobody. She was found in the Malibu Canyon area which means she headed WEST likely along the N19 and was found 11 months later in a ravine.
The area wasn't searched when she turned up missing. I don't remember any search party combing those canyons or ridges. No search helicopters.
I followed this case from the beginning and I remember her mother on television trying to get some attention for her missing daughter and a few television channels interviewed her. The focus was all on her being mentally ill, possibly in Las Vegas, and Geoffrey's getting stiffed on the bill.
They dropped the ball on this case. No doubt about it.
Since I wasn't there, MMQB'ing the situation ( which I hate ), LASD should have provided her with her purse, I have no idea what their policy is in these matters though. On the flip-side, she also should've paid the bill. Is it terrible she died? of course, is it entirely the fault of the LASD, in my opinion, I can't say that it is.
A California attorney general’s investigation has failed to uncover evidence that would merit criminal charges against Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies for their handling of the disappearance and death of Mitrice Richardson:
"Friends of Mitrice Richardson started Tuesday (9/17/19) with high hopes of a new investigation, as they marked the 10th anniversary of the 24-year-old’s mysterious disappearance from the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station in Calabasas on Sept. 17, 2009.
It is a mysterious death that has remained unsolved for more than a dozen years.
Mitrice Richardson vanished into the night on Sept. 17, 2009. The 24-year-old Cal State Fullerton graduate was released from jail at the Malibu-Lost Hills sheriff’s station around midnight. She had nothing but the clothes on her back. She had no money, no purse, no cellphone, no car — and no way to get home.
The case has generated protests, questions about police tactics, and anguish for family and friends.
This week, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors increased its reward in Richardson’s disappearance to $20,000. Officials hope the reward will lead to the apprehension and conviction of those responsible for her “suspicious disappearance and heinous death.”
I think that if she had been at a police station in a smaller town that the police might have had her call someone to pick her up or maybe even sent her to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation.
But this happened in LA where there are tons of mentally ill people that get processed in and out of the jail every day. They handled her arrest and release in a formulaic way, like they would handle any other mentally ill person.
