In part one of this case, we shared about 24-year-old Maitrice Richardson, and how she vanished after being released alone from a sheriff station in the middle of the night, without her phone, without her car, or her wallet.

And they kept things going long distance, seeing each other a couple times a month.

That detail comes from the advocate,
