On a quiet September night in 2009, 24-year-old Mitrice Richardson was released from the Lost Hills Sheriff's Station just after midnight—alone, without her car, her phone, or a ride home. She was more than 15 miles from where she'd last been seen, in the shadow of the Santa Monica Mountains.

She was never seen alive again.

Eleven months later, her remains were discovered in a remote Malibu canyon, raising far more questions than answers. Why was she released into the darkness despite concerns about her mental state? What happened during the hours after she walked away from the station? And why has the case remained clouded by conflicting accounts, missing details, and lingering controversy?

In this episode of Chillworthy, Brent and Talia trace Mitrice's final known movements, examine the investigation that followed, and explore the unanswered questions that continue to haunt her family and the public more than a decade later. Some mysteries aren't defined by what we know—but by what should have never happened in the first place.

🎧 Listen now... and decide for yourself what was lost in the darkness.
