Civil rights activist the Rev. Al Sharpton vowed this week to file a federal inquiry into the death of Mitrice Richardson, a missing 25-year-old woman thought to be mentally ill whose remains were found last week. She had been allowed to leave a sheriff's station nearly a year ago against the wishes of her parents.
Richardson disappeared on Sept. 17, 2009, from the Malibu-Lost Hills substation of the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department in Calabasas, according to news reports.
Sharpton said that Richardson's death was emblematic of law enforcement's general lack of interest in finding and saving missing African Americans.
