Summary

FTG OF PRESS CONFERENCE / PRESSER / NEWSER / INCLUDES INTVS Editorial: A law enforcement official says human remains found in Malibu earlier this week are those of Mitrice Richardson, a California woman who vanished after being released from sheriff's custody last September. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press because the findings were scheduled to be announced at a Wednesday news conference. The skull and bones were found Monday near an abandoned marijuana grove in a rugged Santa Monica Mountains area near Malibu. Richardson vanished after she was released early Sept. 17 at a sheriff's substation in Calabasas for failing to pay a restaurant bill in Malibu. The confirmation ends a nearly yearlong search for the 25-year-old Los Angeles area woman that spanned from the Malibu mountains to Las Vegas, where authorities recently said people reported spotting Richardson.
