🎙️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
