74. Sounds Like A Malibu Mystery - The Mitrice Richardson Case With Special Guest Dr. Ronda Hampton

In 2009 Mitrice Richardson, a young and beautiful twentysomething taking a year off between her graduate and postgraduate studies, showed up one night far from home at a ritzy Malibu, California restaurant - behaving weirdly.  When she told the wait staff she couldn't pay the bill, the LA County Sheriff's Department was called and Richardson was hauled away to jail  What happened next is the stuff of countless mothers' nightmares.  Released from custody just after midnight, with no car, no money and no direction as to where to go next, Mitrice disappeared into the night - and into foreverville.  Her remains were found months later, but to date clues as to how she died, or whether she was murdered, continue to run dry.  Listen as Melissa is joined by clinical Psychologist Ronda Hampton, Ph.D., a mentor and friend to Mitrice, who has led a dedicated army of the young woman's friends and family in an unrelenting search for clues amid a story of - at best - some of the worst bungling ever committed by law enforcement.  Tell us: Do you think you might have a tip that will turn this case around?
