Black, Brown, & Unsolved
Black, Brown & Unsolved is a true crime podcast dedicated to the cases that never got the attention they deserved. Hosted by Amberly, this show centers the lives of Black, Brown, and Indigenous people whose stories were silenced, ignored, or buried beneath biased headlines.
Each episode unpacks a single case—walking through what happened, what we know, the questions that remain, and the devastating impact on the loved ones left behind. More than a podcast about mystery, this is a show about humanity, injustice, and the haunting silence that follows when media and investigators look the other way.
Some stories faded too fast.
Others never made the news at all.
We’re here to change that.

🎙️EPISODE: The Disappearance of Dulce Maria Alavez (Part 1)
📍 Black, Brown & Unsolved
On September 16, 2019, five-year-old Dulce Maria Alavez vanished from a city park in Bridgeton, New Jersey — in broad daylight.
She had just picked out ice cream with her little brother. Her mother was sitting nearby in the car. But within minutes… Dulce was gone. No scream. No struggle. Just silence… and a yellow shirt blowing in the breeze.
For the first time ever, my daughter Marlee opens this episode. She’s 7. She loves the park, too. And her voice matters — because kids like her deserve to feel safe. Just like Dulce did.
In this episode, we walk through everything we know:
🔹 The timeline of the day Dulce disappeared
🔹 Why the 911 call raised questions
🔹 The missing ice cream wrapper
🔹 The man in the red van — and who saw what
🔹 CCTV footage that captures Dulce’s joy
🔹 Community response, law enforcement efforts, and the public turning on Dulce’s mom
🔹 What Dr. Phil said — and what Noema revealed about her polygraph
