The Los Angeles County Sheriff's office believes there have been "credible sightings" of Mitrice Richardson in Las Vegas. The Cal State Fullerton graduate has been missing since September 2009 when she was released from police custody in a remote area without car keys, a wallet or cellphone.
Richardson, who may be bipolar, was arrested for failing to pay an $89 bill at a Malibu restaurant. Witnesses said she was acting odd, despite having only one drink on her bill, telling staff and patrons she was from Mars and speaking gibberish.
After her arrest, Richardson, 25, was released from a remote substation without a purse, cell phone or car and vanished.
"You're not in trouble, you're not subject to arrest. We just want to know you're OK," Los Angeles County sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said in a plea to the woman. "Please contact police or a family member."
Amid criticism from Mitrice's father, Michael, police in Los Angeles County have conducted one of the biggest missing persons searches ever. They used drones to search the rugged Malibu hillside. Rep. Maxine Waters has requested the FBI's involvement because she said Mitrice Richardson's civil rights may have been violated. Police have said they followed the proper procedures before Richardson was released.
Both Mitrice's mother and father have filed suit against the Los Angeles County Sheriff's office.
Michael Richardson said police told them there may have been up to 80 sightings of the woman.
"They wouldn't be doing this if they didn't believe they had credible information of her whereabouts. They want to prove or disprove beyond a shadow of a doubt that these sightings are indeed fact or indeed not fact," Whitmore told the Los Angeles Times.
On his website, Richardson said he was on a plane to Las Vegas and believes he may have spotted his daughter there during a search in January.
Mitrice's father also said he spoke to Los Angeles police when he returned and drew a map of the area but felt they "brushed it off as if it was just probably my imagination," he wrote on his website.
According to reports, a former friend of Mitrice's spotted her at the Rio Las Vegas Hotel and Casino last month. The man tried to speak to Mitrice but she ignored him. Michael Richardson said on his website that the person who spotted Mitirice was a childhood friend who escorted her to a junior prom and knew her from church.
"The woman turned around and looked as if she didn't know him and then looked at him again," family friend Rhonda Hampton told CNN. "Then she ran off with some woman."
Richardson said he's holding out hope that this is his daughter. Let's hope that it is Mitrice so that her family may bring her to safety and help her regain a level of health and normalcy in her life.

Please find the young woman, she could be dead or shacking up with some dud.The general public do not give a dam,we are a materialist society, all is about money and self,instant gratification.Close the borders,USgovernment has no idea who is here,nor where they came from. You exspect order,professionalism its a jungle, you are on your own,I got weapons, you dam right,protect yourself, nothing is fair, teach your childen early.Defense&Offense, make sure your oppressor is dead,can not talk.Guranteed dead. Foreigners have wrecked this country,cheap labor,now the white-man does not know what to do.President Obama's supposed to fix-it,Charlie Rangel can help, call the Black caucus! The white-man set him up good, grey hair, bad heart like Clinton. Chumps , I retired 8 years ago,government service, they can kiss my ass. Colin Powell's smart, he knew when to go home.Thugs are greedy,like hogs feeding at the public trouf.Enough is enough fool!!!
I hope its her and they get her so they can help her that would could be drugging her or using her to pimp her out. It would have been nicer if the dumazz media had kept this on the DL so they could find her without her getting away or being taken away.
She probably had a mental break down and does not recognize anyone at this time. If its her my prayers to her and her family for her safe return so her family can have some peace and closure
Another young woman in the wrong place at the wrong time. How can one person run up a 89 dollar bill by herself. Who was she with? She should have been allowed one phone call from jail. If you trust the the police you are a damn fool. If she was a white woman the news would be carrying it 24/7.
Their is something missing from this story. With the Prayer's and concerns that have gone out for this young lady the truth will come to the light real soon I pray. For some reason she is avoiding being found.It must be something up with her family,unless this young lady is seriously ill. May god continue to watch over her and bring the truth to the light real soon.Peace.
