Black, Brown, & Unsolved

Black, Brown, & Unsolved

Soft voice, Hard Truth.šŸ’” 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.

šŸ›‘ Quick note about the audio:

Some listeners noticed a pause during the 911 call —

That’s actually how we received it.

This show is real, raw, and unfiltered — and we posted it exactly as it came.

That said, there were a few other small pauses that occurred somewhere between recording and uploading.

Those have been corrected for most platforms —

but Apple Podcasts may show a delay before the clean version appears.
