Black, Brown, & Unsolved

Amberly

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.

    🕯️Last Seen in Custody: The Disappearance of Terrance Williams

    💔 In January 2004, Terrance Williams disappeared in Naples, Florida. He was a father. A son. A man working two jobs and trying to rebuild his life. And then… he was gone. Terrance was last seen alive after an encounter with a Collier County sheriff’s deputy. The deputy said he gave Terrance a ride. Said he dropped him off at a Circle K. Said he later didn’t remember key details. No surveillance footage ever confirmed that drop-off. No witnesses saw Terrance again. No charges were ever filed. What followed was a trail of shifting stories, disturbing audio, racialized language, and an investigation filled with contradictions… not just in Terrance’s case, but in another disappearance tied to the same deputy. This episode breaks it all down: • The night Terrance vanished • The phone calls that raised red flags • The 911 and dispatch audio you need to hear for yourself • The investigation — and where it failed • The connection to another missing man • And where the case stands today This isn’t just about what happened. It’s about who was believed… and who wasn’t. 🧩 RELATED CASE Another man vanished after an encounter with the same deputy: 🔗 Felipe Santos https://ncmissingpersons.org/felipe-santos/ 🎧 BLACK, BROWN, & UNSOLVED AFTER DARK I’m sharing what I really think happened in this case… plus my full conversation with Terrance’s daughter, Kiara… on Black, Brown & Unsolved: After Dark.

    🎙️➡️🤎From Podcast To Purpose: 2025 Recap

    2025 Recap… The Year That Changed Everything Please note: This episode is going up later than planned due to technical issues with recording/uploading. Thank you for your patience… and thank you for always showing up. 2025 was not a year I could have planned. It was a year that grew this platform beyond anything I imagined. What started as a podcast… became advocacy. What started as telling stories… became holding systems accountable. What started as research… became real relationships with families who are still fighting for answers. In this recap episode, I’m walking you through the cases that shaped this year — the families who trusted me with their stories, the moments that changed me, and why I continue to do this work even when it’s heavy. We talk about: • why our cases are treated differently • how law enforcement and media shape urgency • what it means when families who’ve sat with major platforms still come to me for help • and why staying homegrown matters to me This episode also includes case updates (and lack thereof), reflections on the work, and what’s coming next. Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for caring. 🖤 2025 Cases Covered in This Recap Tamla Horsford Dulce Maria Alavez My Mother Lovett “LJ” Moore Celina Mays 🌑 Black, Brown, & Unsolved After Dark For case updates, exclusive family interviews, mini episodes, and behind-the-scenes context, you can subscribe to Black, Brown, & Unsolved After Dark.

    🎄 On The 12th Day of Christmas: Released to Reoffend… Jennifer Strong/Armond Langford

    🎄 12 Days of Christmas on Black, Brown, & Unsolved. This is not an unsolved case… and that’s exactly why it needed to be covered. In this episode, we examine the case of Armond Langford, a man with a documented history of violent crime who was released early and allowed back into the community… only to go on and commit one of the most terrifying crimes imaginable. A Louisville mother was kidnapped at knifepoint. Her two children were in the car. She was stabbed. And she was forced to help rob a bank to survive. This episode isn’t about race. It’s about systems. It’s about shock probation, recidivism, and how someone serving a 14-year sentence can walk free after just a few years… while others sit behind bars for decades over non-violent offenses. It’s about how we define “low risk.” Who gets second chances. And who pays the price when those decisions go wrong. And this… this is the story of what happens when habitual offenders are allowed to walk. 🔗 SOURCES https://www.wave3.com/2025/08/23/louisville-kidnapping-bank-robbery-langford-mental-evaluation/https://www.wdrb.com/news/crime/armond-langford-shock-probation-bank-robbery-kidnapping/article_9b7c5fbc-xxxx.htmlhttps://www.whas11.com/article/news/crime/louisville-bank-robbery-kidnapping-armond-langford/https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/crime/2025/08/armond-langford-kidnapping-bank-robbery-shock-probation/https://www.wdrb.com/in-depth/shock-probation-kentucky-langford-case/article_impact.html Text Amberly!

    🎄 On The 11th Day of Christmas: Left In The Road… Amiyah Cunningham

    🎄 Day 11 of the 12 Days of Christmas on Black, Brown, & Unsolved 🤎 A night that started with music, friends, and plans turned deadly for Amiyah Cunningham. What happened next wasn’t an accident… it was a series of decisions. And what followed wasn’t justice… it was delay. In this episode, we walk through the night Amiyah lost her life, the moments after she was hit and dragged, the choices made by the people around her, and the three-week gap before authorities finally called this what it was. This case is exactly why I do what I do. Because when our stories don’t get told right away, when our cases aren’t taken seriously, when it takes public outcry just to move the needle — that delay becomes part of the harm. This is the story of Amiyah Cunningham. 🔗 Sources https://www.11alive.com/article/news/crime/forest-park-arrest-amiya-cunningham-death/85-0f3b1d5a-5c7e-4c6a-bf0e-0b2a8c9b8f9fhttps://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/forest-park-arrest-amiya-cunningham-hit-and-runhttps://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/clayton-county/arrest-made-death-amiya-cunningham-after-public-outcry/VVQ3O7F3Z5H7ZKQZQ2KQ2K5RJM/https://www.ajc.com/news/crime/forest-park-police-arrest-woman-in-death-of-amiya-cunningham/ Text Amberly!

    🎄 On The 10th Day of Christmas: Killed By A Coach… Oscar Omar Hernandez

    🎄 Day 10 of the 12 Days of Christmas on Black, Brown, & Unsolved 🤎 Thirteen-year-old Oscar Omar Hernandez vanished after boarding a train in late March to visit his youth soccer coach… someone his family trusted. His body was found days later in a roadside ditch in Oxnard, California, after he had been reported missing. Prosecutors allege that his coach, 43-year-old Mario Edgardo Garcia-Aquino, murdered Oscar and dumped his body along the road. Garcia-Aquino has been charged with murder with special circumstances, which could bring life without parole or the death penalty if he’s convicted.  Oscar’s family says he had been helping his coach with soccer jerseys before he disappeared. Authorities found his body on April 2, and the Ventura County Medical Examiner ruled his death a homicide.  In September 2025, Oscar’s parents filed a legal claim accusing the City and County of Los Angeles of negligence, saying that a proper background check on the coach could have prevented this tragedy.  Sources 🔗 🔗 https://apnews.com/article/246835d60e7a75f3d6818c5f4a6a3ee9  🔗 https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/09/los-angeles-soccer-coach-charged-murder  🔗 https://www.wdtv.com/2025/09/16/family-13-year-old-claims-background-check-soccer-coach-could-have-prevented-his-murder/  🔗 https://abc7.com/post/oscar-omar-hernandez-death-family-files-legal-claim-city-county-la-13-year-old-boys-murder/17822018/  Text Amberly!

    🎄 On The 9th Day of Christmas: Killed For Kindness… Barbara Wolf

    🎄 The 12 Days of Christmas on Black, Brown, & Unsolved 🤎 On Christmas Eve, 71-year-old psychologist and educator Barbara Wolf stopped to help someone who appeared stranded on the side of the road in Oxford Township, Michigan. Helping people wasn’t something she did — it was who she was. Instead of a routine act of kindness, Barbara Wolf was met with violence. She was shot and later died from her injuries. Her daughter, who was with her, survived. Other Good Samaritans were also threatened and injured during the same series of events. This case raises urgent questions about early release, repeat violent offenders, and the real consequences of systemic failures — especially when those failures turn acts of compassion into acts of tragedy.

    🎄12 Days of Christmas on Black, Brown, & Unsolved 🤎 On the 8th day of the 12 Days of Christmas, we examine a case that sits in the uncomfortable space between fear and force. In the early morning hours of May 3, Tyler Chase Butler called police reporting a burglary in progress at his home. What followed left one teenager dead, two families shattered, and a community divided. This episode breaks down what happened that night… the TikTok prank, the fear inside the home, the shots fired, and the legal line that now defines Tyler’s future. We talk about accountability on all sides, the dangers of treating fear as content, and why cases involving Black men and self-defense are so often scrutinized differently. This isn’t about picking sides. It’s about asking the hard questions… and sitting with them. 🔗 Sources https://www.wusa9.com https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/crime https://www.callrobinson.com Text Amberly!

    🎄12 Days of Christmas on Black, Brown, & Unsolved 🤎 In Day 7 of the 12 Days of Christmas on Black, Brown, & Unsolved, I’m sharing one of the most disturbing and emotionally jarring cases I’ve covered. Shanice Crews disappeared in 2021. Her family searched. They waited. They worried. Then in 2024, police told them the unthinkable — Shanice had been found dead. An autopsy claimed she died from a drug overdose. The body was badly decomposed. The family was not allowed to view her remains. They cremated who they were told was Shanice and held a funeral. Seven months later, they learned the truth. Shanice Crews was alive. This episode confronts the devastating consequences of misidentification, the failure to properly confirm identity before notifying a family, and the unanswered question that still remains: Who did that body actually belong to? We talk about medical examiner accountability, missing Black women, system negligence, and the irreversible trauma caused when authorities get it wrong — and move on. Because families don’t get their tears back. They don’t get their grief back. And they don’t get answers. 🔗 Sources: https://people.com/family-cremated-loved-one-discovered-alive-report-11721679https://www.rochesterfirst.com/news/local-news/family-learns-sister-they-cremated-is-alive/https://www.wroc.tv/news/local-news/monroe-county/family-says-missing-sister-declared-dead-is-alive/ Text Amberly!
