Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- Skeletal remains found in a remote area of Malibu Canyon on Monday are those of Mitrice Richardson, a California woman who disappeared last year, Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca said Thursday.
Richardson, 24, was last seen leaving a sheriff's station in Malibu after being detained by sheriff's deputies on a citizen's arrest complaint made by a restaurant manager in September.
"We have no indication of a homicide at this point," Baca said. "I don't believe that the remains are capable of telling us a story."
The remains, which included a human skull, were found Monday by park rangers searching the area for marijuana groves, said Los Angeles County Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore.
"It's incredibly treacherous terrain," Whitmore said of the remote site. "There is no road, no trail even if you know exactly where you are going."

The woman's father reacted angrily after watching the sheriff's news conference from the rear of the room.
"Now you guys are going to see the real Michael Richardson come out," Michael Richardson said.
Richardson said he was holding sheriff's deputies responsible for his daughter's death, either because of negligence or criminal intent.
