Mitrice Richardson, Still Missing After Two Months
11/18/09-by Bridgette P. LaVictoire
She’s young, pretty, intelligent and missing. The rest of the factors regarding the disappearance of Mitrice Richardson seem to be what is getting in the way of the case getting a great deal of attention. Mitrice Richardson is African-American, lesbian, a part time dancer at a gay night club, and was arrested shortly before she disappeared from an Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Station in the wee hours of 17 September. While there have been a couple of sightings of Ms Richardson since her disappearance, but few solid leads. That was two months ago.
Ms Richardson appeared erratic before she was arrested. She arrived alone at a fancy restaurant where she was invited to join a group of other young individuals. While with them, she said some strange things, including talking in gibberish and telling them that she was from Mars. The problem began when the check arrived and she could not pay the $89 tab. After unsuccessfully talking to her grandmother about paying the bill, the sheriff’s office was called in. A search of her 1990 Honda Civic turned up a small amount of marijuana. Her car was impounded and she was arrested. At 1am on the 17th, she was released on her own recognizance without money, identification, or transportation. Her identification was in her impounded car. The officer at the Sheriff’s Office offered to let her stay at the station until morning, but she refused. She has not been reliably seen since.
Ms Richardson is a star pupil who has plans to study psychology. There is no explanation for her erratic behavior before her arrest. There certainly were no indications that Ms Richardson was suffering from any mental illness. There may be some other reason, but it is unclear. “She wasn’t diagnosed with any [mental illnesses]. She wasn’t getting any medication,” according to Teresa Moon, Ms Richardson’s girlfriend of two years.

(To those who come in here screaming about my writing up of this report, follow the links and take a look at the fact that I am reporting what others have reported. It is necessary that she be found and returned to her family. I understand the gravity of the situation. However, even MSNBC is reporting details of her life.)

If she had blonde hair and blue eyes (ie. natalee holloway, jon benet, elisabeth smart ) the police wouldn’t sleep until she was found…The double standard is nauseating…

The police aren’t going to do much because she’s Black and gay. They don’t care. I will definitely keep her and her family in my prayers.

I read this story when she first went missing, and today decided to google her name to see if she was ever found. It breaks my heart to think about how her family must feel not knowing if she is ok. Her erratic behaviour which lead to her arrest could mean anything. Mental illness is one guess, but her being drugged could be another. I hope that she is found safe.

April,
Even if she did snap, she is missing, and there has been a lot of problems getting the media and others to pay attention to her disappearance. If she is mentally ill (and you are right, a lot of mental illnesses can manifest in the 20′s), she is missing and in desperate need of help before she or someone else gets harmed.
She is someone’s daughter and girlfriend. They love her deeply, and I am sure that they would rather she get home safe then live with the agony of never knowing what happened to her.
