Mitrice Richardson: Unsolved Death (Malibu, CA) | Part One
Aug 2500:31:16Summary readyOn a September evening in 2009, 24-year-old Mitrice Richardson walked into a Malibu restaurant. She wasn’t quite herself, and by the end of the night staff had called the sheriff’s department—not just because she couldn’t pay her bill, but because they were worried about her safety. Hours later, Mitrice was released from the Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station, just after midnight, alone and without her phone, purse, or car. She was never seen alive again. In Part 1 of this two-part case, we retrace Mitrice’s final known hours—from the restaurant call that first brought deputies to Geoffrey’s, to her unexpected release into the dark Malibu canyon night. What happened in the hours that followed has never been fully explained. Mitrice Richardson was vibrant, ambitious, and deeply loved. This is her story. If you have any information about the disappearance and death of Mitrice Richardson, please contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department at (323) 890-5500.

Zebb Quinn: Murdered In 2000 (Asheville, NC) | Part Three
Aug 1800:28:40Summary readyIn this final installment of our coverage on the case of Zebb Quinn, we follow the investigation as it takes a shocking turn. Nearly fifteen years after Zebb vanished, the name Jason Owens reemerged—this time tied to the brutal murders of Cristie and J.T. Codd and their unborn child. As investigators dug into Owens’ property, they uncovered disturbing evidence: concrete pits, lime, and fragments that raised chilling questions. Was this connected to Zebb? And if so, why has the truth remained buried for so long? Through court records, news reports, and eyewitness accounts, we trace how Owens’ crimes cast new suspicion on his role in Zebb’s disappearance—and why answers in this case have remained just out of reach. Zebb Quinn was only 18 years old when he disappeared from Asheville, North Carolina, in January 2000. His story is one of mystery, grief, and the relentless search for justice. If you know anything about the disappearance and murder of Zebb Wayne Quinn, please contact the Asheville Police Department at (828) 252-1110 or your local law enforcement office.

Zebb Quinn: Murdered In 2000 (Asheville, NC) | Part Two
Aug 11, 202500:23:19Summary readyTwo weeks after 18-year-old Zebb Quinn vanished, his car was found in a BBQ restaurant parking lot with a live puppy, a hotel keycard, and lipstick scrawled across the back window. In Part Two of this case, we follow the strange trail from a mysterious page traced to his aunt’s phone, through a tangled connection to a young woman named Misty Taylor and her abusive boyfriend, to Jason Owens—the last person seen with Zebb. For years, Owens stayed in the shadows… until 2015, when another disappearance rocked the quiet town of Leicester. This time, it wasn’t just one person missing—it was Cristie and JT Codd, a young couple expecting their first child. And the discovery police made would be unlike anything they’d seen before.
