⚠️ Lovett “LJ” Moore is STILL missing.

A blind Black man led away from a Sacramento gas station on June 28th… and Sacramento PD has failed his family from day one. 🚨

In this episode of Straight No Chaser 🥃 I sat down with:

👩🏽‍🦱 His sister Shay

👨🏽 His brother Johnny

✊🏽 Advocate & EMPACT founder Leia Shank

💔 And later, his mother Pamela joined too

What you’ll hear is raw, emotional, and heartbreaking 💔 — a family begging for answers, an advocate demanding action, and a police department that dragged its feet while time slipped away ⏳.

And after their voices… I tell you exactly what I believe happened to LJ.

No filters. No whispers. 🔥 My theory. Straight No Chaser.

🚨 33-year-old Lovett “LJ” Moore is missing.

On June 28, 2025, LJ — a blind, disabled man — was last seen on surveillance being led out of a gas station on Arena Blvd in North Natomas. That was 53 days ago… and Sacramento PD still hasn’t brought his family answers.

👁️ LJ lived with vision loss. He had a burn on his leg. He depended on others for support. Yet, the people last seen with him have shown up at his mother’s home — and still, nothing has been done.

✊🏾 His family has been out every single day — searching, calling for action, begging Sacramento to care. They’ve had more support from the Bay Area than their own city. And now, they’re asking you to show up.

🎙️ In this episode of Black, Brown & Unsolved, I sat down with LJ’s mom, his siblings, and community activist Leia Shank of EMPACT. Together, we talk about the night he disappeared, the failures since, and the fight to keep hope alive.

On Christmas Day 2002, I was with my uncle when I got the news my mom had been shot — eight times — by the man she was married to at the time.

In this episode, I walk you through that day, what I saw when I got to the hospital, and the words my Granny said that still stay with me. I share the moments that shaped how I saw my mom, not just as a victim, but as a survivor.

We’ll talk about the justice system’s response, the way her case was handled, and why I’ll never be okay with how little she was protected — then or now.

This is more than my mom’s story.

It’s a story about survival, family, and the fight to be seen as more than a case file.

In today’s unfiltered conversation, I sit down with Jackie Rodriguez — the former family spokesperson for Dulce Maria Alavez’s case.

Jackie once stood by Noema Alavez Perez’s side. She helped her face cameras, speak to reporters, and navigate the media storm after Dulce vanished from a Bridgeton, New Jersey park in 2019.

But over time, Jackie started asking hard questions — and getting answers that didn’t sit right.

In this interview, she opens up about why she stopped advocating for the family, the moment her gut told her something was off, and why she now believes Noema knows more than she’s saying.

Is Jackie simply a woman who got burned and walked away?

Or is she sounding the alarm on something deeper?

You decide.

And if you haven’t yet, make sure you listen to my interview with Noema Alavez Perez — Dulce’s mother — now streaming on the main feed. These two interviews tell very different stories, and you need to hear both.

In today’s episode, I sit down with the one person whose name has never left the center of this case — Noema Alavez Perez, the mother of missing 5-year-old Dulce Maria Alavez.

It’s been nearly five years since Dulce vanished from a park in Bridgeton, New Jersey. And while the search has gone cold, the questions haven’t. From her initial reaction… to what she remembered Dulce was wearing… to that infamous 911 call — the public has dissected every move Noema made.

So today, I ask her directly:

• Why did you call your brother before the police?
• Why didn’t you get out of the car?
• What did you mean when you said you didn’t really know your daughter?
• And… did you have anything to do with her disappearance?

This conversation is raw. It’s uncomfortable.

And it might leave you with even more questions than answers.

But this is the heart of Black, Brown & Unsolved — asking what others won’t, and centering the stories that the media too often leaves behind.

🎧 Also available now: my exclusive interview with former family spokesperson Jackie Rodriguez, unlocked for Straight No Chaser listeners.

She tells me why she stopped advocating for the family — and why she believes Noema knows more than she’s saying.

🎙️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

18-year-old Cleashindra “Clea” Hall vanished on May 9, 1994 — just two weeks before graduation. She was last seen at the home of her employer, Dr. Larry Amos, only three blocks away from her house in Pine Bluff, Arkansas.

But her story didn’t make national headlines.

And her case remains unsolved.

This episode breaks down everything:

• What happened that day

• The final phone call with her mother

• The suspicious behavior of her employer

• The failed early investigation

• Psychic warnings, torn flyers, and community silence

• The 2012 search warrant — and what it uncovered

• A mother’s 30-year fight for answers

For over 30 years, Laurell Hall has lived with a question no mother should ever have to ask:

What happened to my daughter inside that house?

In this exclusive, unfiltered conversation, I sit down with Cleashindra Hall’s mother to talk about the night everything changed — and the silence that followed. No edits. No sugarcoating. Just the truth, the pain, and the questions that still haven’t been answered.

🗣️ What really happened behind those Tudor-style walls?

Why was the case brushed off?

And what did Dr. Larry Amos not want people to find?

This is Straight No Chaser. And sometimes, you have to say what others are too afraid to say.
