About this episode

The episode explores the search for Mitrice Richardson and the subsequent discovery of her remains, highlighting the failures in the investigation.

In Part 2 of "She Was Fine," we follow the eleven-month search for Mitrice Richardson — a search plagued by pulled scent dogs, redirected drones, and decisions that defy explanation. When her naked, skeletal remains are finally discovered in a remote canyon, deputies move the body against the coroner's direct orders, critical evidence goes missing, and the cause of death is ruled undetermined. No one has ever been held accountable.
