Aaliyah Shadeay Bell was 18 when she vanished from Rock Hill, South Carolina, on the night of November 25, 2014. She left her uncle’s home on Chestnut Street around midnight, walking a few blocks toward her godmother’s house in light rain and was never seen or heard from again. A student at Phoenix Academy who wanted to become a hairstylist, she was wearing a black peacoat, gray leggings or jogging pants, and neon blue and green shoes. She has a lip piercing and a tattoo of stars on the left side of her abdomen.

Aaliyah left behind her cell phone, wallet, clothing and other personal items, and her social media activity stopped abruptly. Family members say she would not have willingly left without contacting them or accepted a ride from a stranger. Investigators followed multiple leads over the years, including reported sightings at a motel and tips that she might be in Charlotte, Fayetteville, or Atlanta; a 2023 inquiry examined a possible link to a man who owned property near her last known location but no evidence tied him to the disappearance. The Rock Hill Police Department still lists her as missing.

If anyone knew Aaliyah, saw her on the night of November 25, 2014, or has information that could help locate her, please share what is known with investigators.
