Her Mom Asked Them to Hold Her. They Let Her Go: The Mitrice Richardson Case
On September 16, 2009, 24 year old Mitrice Richardson drove to a restaurant in Malibu, California. Hours later she was in custody at the Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station. Around 12:30 a.m. she was released without her phone, wallet, or car, even after her mother asked that she be held until family could pick her up. Her remains were found in Dark Canyon almost a year later. Her cause of death was ruled undetermined, and her case remains open.In this episode, we look at who Mitrice was beyond the headlines: a psychology graduate who planned to become a child psychologist and wanted to help children in foster care. We walk through the events of that night, what her family experienced when they tried to report her missing, and the many questions that remain about how the case was handled.Please note: Mitrice was never formally diagnosed. Any discussion of her mental state reflects her family’s accounts, her writings, and her behavior in the days before her arrest, not a medical conclusion.Chapters:0:00 Introduction0:12 Joffrey’s in Malibu2:46 The unpaid bill and the citizen’s arrest5:55 Deputies arrive6:52 Who Mitrice Richardson was12:55 The days before September 1617:04 Signs of a mental health crisis18:59 Her mother’s call and the release22:23 The missing person report is refused22:54 The Montecito sighting25:29 Family led searches and public indifference28:42 Las Vegas tips and the first search30:41 The January 2010 search31:37 Remains discovered in Dark Canyon35:38 Problems with the recovery37:44 Unanswered questions about the remains40:14 The official theories41:31 The footage that “didn’t exist”44:46 Where the case stands todayDo you have information about this case?

Ep.45 | Ohio Missing Teen Found in Teacher’s Home After 263 Days (2026)
On December 2, 2025, a 16 year old girl left a teen crisis center in Columbus, Ohio, and was reported missing. On August 21, 2026, she was located inside the home of a former high school science teacher during a U.S. Marshals operation. The teacher, Jobe Binkley, was charged with interference with custody, a misdemeanor.
In this episode, Kylie walks through the public record: the disappearance, the teacher’s documented employment history, the two occasions police reportedly went to the home before the recovery, and the statewide operation that located her. We separate what court filings establish from what family members have alleged and what remains unknown.
