Forgotten Echoes: A True Crime Podcast

Forgotten Echoes: A True Crime Podcast

Welcome to the Forgotten Echoes Podcast. I’m your host, Raven Siyad — analyst and fitness instructor by day, and web sleuth by night. I’ve been immersed in the world of true crime for as long as I can remember. But when I thought about stepping into this space, I knew I wanted to do more than just tell stories — I wanted to make a difference. This podcast is dedicated to the often-overlooked cases of Black women and girls — stories that haven’t received the attention they deserve. Each week, we’ll explore one of these cases, piecing together what’s known, what’s missing, and what still needs to be asked. You’ll hear about the tireless efforts of families, advocates, and investigators who refuse to let these stories fade. And at the end of every episode, there’s a call to action — because your voice, your awareness, and your willingness to share can help bring these cases back into the light. This is Forgotten Echoes. Stay vigilant. Stay aware. And keep the echoes of the forgotten alive. I’ll see you soon.

Aaliyah Hall Bell vanished on November 25th, 2014, just two days before Thanksgiving.

Aaliyah hasn’t been seen or heard from since. Strangely, she left behind her phone, wallet, and all of her belongings, including money that had just been wired to her that same day.
