This week’s featured missing person is Aaliyah Shadeay Bell, (pronounced “A-lee-a”, and she could use the last name Hall) an 18-year-old black, black-haired, brown-eyed teenager who was last seen in Rock Hill, South Carolina on November 25, 2014.
Aaliyah was last seen wearing a black peacoat, gray leggings or jogging pants, neon blue and green shoes, and a silver lip ring. She was 5’6 tall, 145 pounds and 18 years old, and she has stars tattooed on the left side of her abdomen. Though a relative wired her $100 the day she went missing, she never picked up the money. It was two days before Thanksgiving, and she was just gone.
If still alive, Aaliyah would be 29 today.
The Charley Project Blog 
Hi Meaghan,
I was looking at the Charley Project page for this case and noticed that under “Race” it says “white,” which doesn’t seem entirely accurate based on the photos, unless there’s background information I’m missing.
I also read through the case description, and as a mother of a 21-year-old daughter, I’m having a hard time understanding the circumstances. It’s difficult for me to imagine a teenage girl leaving her home anywhere without her phone, especially at night. Was the neighborhood so unsafe that she might have feared being robbed and decided to leave her phone and wallet behind until the next day? But if that were the case, it makes it even more confusing why she would have gone out at all, that late and in the rain.
Fixed that, thanks
2 days before thanksgiving. gives me something to be hopeful this year that it hasn’t happened to me. i feel bad for her family
