VIDEO – ANOTHER HUMAN TRAGEDY – 

Feb. 8, 2023 – That was on July 23, but just a few days later, Ryder received news that her daughter was found dead at the facility.  

“My life shattered,” Ryder said. “I thought 100% that was the absolute safest place for her to be, and it ended up not being safe at all.”  

Investigators with the Riverside Police Department said the county coroner determined Bauman’s cause of death was due to an accidental overdose on fentanyl.  

With the help of their lawyer, the 24-year-old’s family has filed a civil lawsuit against Riverside County and MFI Recovery, the company the county contracted to run the center, also known as the ARC.
