Black, Brown, & Unsolved
Soft voice, Hard Truth.💔
Black, Brown, & Unsolved is a true crime podcast that centers the stories of Black, Brown, and Indigenous people who’ve gone missing or been murdered—and never got the attention they deserved.
Hosted by Amberly, this isn’t just storytelling. It’s real work.
She speaks with families, sits down with law enforcement, reviews 911 calls, police records, and autopsy reports. She breaks down timelines, exposes inconsistencies, and asks the hard questions when no one else will.
Every episode is about more than what happened—it’s about who it happened to, why it was ignored, and what still needs to be done.
Because these cases aren’t cold. They’ve just been buried.
And someone out there still knows something.

🎄 Day One of 12 Days of Christmas: Urayoan Rodriguez-Rivera
This is Day One of 12 Days of Christmas on Black, Brown, & Unsolved.
On September 10, 2023, Urayoan Rodriguez-Rivera, 29, called 911 and said he planned to take his own life.
When police arrived, he was still breathing.
What happened next was captured on body-camera footage — and while this case has officially been ruled a suicide, there are questions that remain unanswered.
In this episode, we walk through the timeline, the decisions made by responding officers, and why — even with an official ruling — this case does not feel truly solved.
🎧 New episodes drop daily through Christmas Eve as part of 12 Days of Christmas.
