10 - The Murder of Mitrice Richardson - Part 2 May 03, 2018

Show notes

Following her release from the Lost Hills Sheriff's Station in Malibu, California at nearly one am, Mitrice Richardson went missing for months. This was a circumstance the Sheriff's Department found of little concern, and not worth much effort. Ten months later, when park rangers discovered her partially mummified remains on the hillside of Dark Canyon, the Sheriff's Department went against coroner's directives, and California Penal Code, and airlifted the remains to their station without doing any due diligence to document or preserve the scene and remains. Today, we discuss these events, the events that followed, and talk to a member of the Search and Rescue team for Mitrice, who had firsthand experience with the LASD. You're listening to Creep It Real, and today we bring you part two of our coverage on the murder of Mitrice Richardson.

09 - The Murder of Mitrice Richardson Apr 25, 2018

Show notes

A beautiful and vibrant 24 year old woman begins to show signs that she is going through a bipolar episode, and is acting erratically one evening at an expensive restaurant in the Malibu Hills. Sheriff's deputies arrive on scene, perform a sobriety test, and find the woman is sober. According to witnesses at the scene, and initial statements from the arresting deputies, the woman is definitely not of sound mind. She is taken into custody, with her car containing her phone, wallet, and atm card being impounded 11 miles away. She is released mere hours later, at 12:38am, in a strange town, with none of her belongings. After being spotted by a homeowner a few miles away at 6am, the woman is never seen alive again. After a half-hearted investigation and ever-evolving story by the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department, her body is discovered in a canyon over ten months later, completely nude, and partially mummified. What followed is perhaps one of the most egregious examples of negligence and mishandling of a crime scene, and the subsequent "investigation" into her death is no better. Her family is left with too many unanswered questions, no straight answers from law enforcement, and the loss of their loved before she had a chance to live a full life. What happened to Mitrice Richardson? Will her family ever receive the justice they deserve?

08 - The Disappearance of Brandon Lawson Apr 19, 2018

Show notes

In the early hours of August 9, 2013, Brandon Lawson called 911 sounding out of breath, panicked, and saying he ran out of gas on Highway 277. The dispatcher failed to get his name or location, but did hear him end his call telling her he needed the cops, and to please hurry. Her negligence with the call led to the immediate failure of the aide he requested, and Brandon has never been seen again. In the years following his disappearance, there has been copious amounts of misinformation, discrepancy, and lack of due diligence from the police. Brandon's past colored the way the police treated his case from the get go, and leaves one to wonder if they are covering something up, or simply negligent. A father of four, husband, brother, and son is still missing to this day, and he and his family deserve justice and closure. What happened to Brandon that night in 2013? We break down the details, and sift through what little information we have. Artwork courtesy of Design Buffalo Opening Credits courtesy of AZ_Tunes Closing Credits courtesy of Audiorezout

06 - The Montauk Project - Pt. 1 Apr 05, 2018

Show notes

At the eastern most edge of Long Island lies Montauk Point, a scenic landmark with beautiful views along the New York Coast. Just to the west of this, however, lies the abandoned Montauk Air Force Base, on the grounds of old Fort Hero. It is said, after the government ceased operations there, a group of independently-funded researchers began conducting experiments ranging from psychological warfare, to time travel; using unsuspecting members of the military and even children. This project came to a disastrous end in 1983, when the scientists ripped a hole in space-time to 1943, and their test subject conjured an enormous monster so violent and destructive, the entire base fled for their lives. Is this story fact, fiction, or a combination of both? We break it all down for you and try to make sense of all the details.

04 - Creepin' History with The Dyatlov Pass Incident Mar 21, 2018

Show notes

In mid-January, 1959, a groupe of students and recent graduates from Ural Polytechnic Institute departed from the city of Sverdlovsk, Russia on an expedition into the Northern Ural Mountain.s Each member of the group was extremely experienced in lengthy ski tours and mountain expeditions, and would all earn the distinguished Grade III hiking certification- the highest obtainable in the country, upon completing their journey. When the hikers hadn't arrived back home as expected, a search and rescue mission began. Over the span of the next few months, a horrifying discovery would be made: the bodies of all 9 hikers would be found scattered in various states of struggle, within a mile of their last campsite. Some with fatal blunt force trauma to their head or chest, many missing shoes and clothing, and another was even missing her tongue. The prosecutor at the time closed the investigation stating that "The hikers died of an unknown, compelling force." A vague determination that has left room for many theories in the past 60 years, ranging from UFOs to Government conspiracy. What caused these experienced hikers to flee their only shelter into total blackness, sub-zero temperatures, and imminent death that night in February, 1959?
