Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs and Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes are the state’s top leaders for public safety and accountability, and on January 9, 2026, the Stone family marks a milestone no family should ever have to count: 728 days since three boys went missing in Arizona—Winston Stone, Timothy Paul Stone Jr., and Marcel Orion Stone.You’re listening to No Tears For Black Girls. I’m Samantha Paul. This episode is based on public reporting and on court filings and documents shared with me by the Stone family. Where claims are allegations, I will say so. Our focus is simple: accountability, and bringing attention back to the missing.Three Arizona boys. Missing for 728 days. Two years of unanswered questions, stalled urgency, and a system families say treats missing Black children like paperwork instead of emergencies. This episode examines what happens when the word “runaway” becomes an excuse to delay action, when families are forced into motions to compel for basic records, and when potential evidence and timelines become a fight instead of a priority. We also place this case in broader context, including the June 2024 U.S. Department of Justice civil rights findings related to Phoenix policing that the family points to as relevant when asking the court and the public to take systemic failures seriously. Host Samantha Paul asks why Arizona’s top leadership has not addressed this case with clear, public urgency—and why “silence from the top” is something the public has every right to question when three children are still missing.If you have information that could help locate Winston Stone, Timothy Paul Stone Jr., or Marcel Orion Stone, contact the FBI at 1-800-225-5324 or submit a tip at tips.fbi.gov, and contact the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-843-5678 or visit missingkids.org.At the bottom line, this is not entertainment. This is accountability. Where are Winston, Timothy Jr., and Marcel?New release: Dubai Nights: A No Tears For Black Girls Story (Book 8) drops January 13, 2026, and will be FREE on Amazon January 16–19 in honor of Human Trafficking Awareness Month.

When Timothy Paul Stone collapsed alone in a Phoenix motel bathroom, his three sons — Winston, Timothy Jr. and Marcel — had already been taken by police and handed to a woman their grandparents say was a stranger. Today, Timothy is dead and the boys are still missing.In this update to our original Timothy Stone episode, we break down the Stones’ newly filed federal wrongful‑death and civil‑rights lawsuit. The complaint names the State of Arizona, Governor Katie Hobbs, Attorney General Kris Mayes, and multiple agencies and officers, and argues that officials “let him die to cover up a kidnapping” and could face liability under Arizona’s felony‑murder rule.In this episode, we walk through:The key allegations in the 1st Amended ComplaintHow the felony‑murder rule works, and why the family believes it appliesThe timeline from the motel welfare check to Timothy’s deathWhat we still don’t know about Winston, Timothy Jr., and Marcel’s whereaboutsIf you have any information about the whereabouts of Winston Stone, Timothy Paul Stone Jr., or Marcel Orion Stone, please contact the FBI at 1‑800‑CALL‑FBI (1‑800‑225‑5324) or the/National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1‑800‑THE‑LOST (1‑800‑843‑5678).Court documents and source links are available at NoTearsForBlackGirls.com (see the Resources section for the Timothy Stone case).All individuals and agencies named in this episode are entitled to the presumption of innocence.

When intimate images of R&B singer Teairra Marí were leaked online, 30 million people watched her trauma become entertainment. She fought back in court—but the system had other plans. This is the story of revenge porn, power, and what happens when Black women seek justice.

In September 2025, Reading, Pennsylvania became the scene of one of the most horrific family annihilation in recent memory. Three bodies.Three locations. One devil's work.Geraldina Peguero Mancebo was a 31-year-old Dominican immigrant trying to keep her family afloat in one of America's poorest cities.Working a warehouse job while supporting four children, she made a choice that millions of desperate women make every day—she accepted financial help from an older man who wanted something in return.Jose Luis Rodriguez was 61 years old. Thirty years her senior. He rented her an apartment. He gave her money. And he believed that money bought him ownership of her life.When Geraldina refused to leave her husband, Rodriguez's"generosity" revealed itself as something far more sinister. Within 48 hours, he would execute her husband Junior with a shot to the back of the head, murder Geraldina the same way while she held their baby, and throw one-year-old Jeyden face down into a muddy pond—alive—leaving him to drown.The autopsy would later confirm mud in the baby's lungs. Hewas conscious. He struggled. He drowned.This is the story of what happens when male entitlement meets financial desperation. When a woman's "no" becomes a death sentence. When poverty forces impossible choices that end in tragedy.This is a story about the hidden dangers of sugar daddy culture, the systems that fail women of color, and three orphaned children left behind to make sense of the senseless.Content Warning: This episode contains detailed descriptions of violence against women and children, murder, and drowning.Listener discretion is strongly advised.Resources:National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-7233National Sexual Assault Hotline: 1-800-656-4673Financial Abuse Resources: www.nnedv.org/content/about-financial-abuseNo Tears For Black Girls tells these stories because silence protects predators.

Tonya Walker, a 51-year-old Black mother, vanished in Sacramento on November 2, 2023. Her family searched for seven months to learn her body lay unclaimed at Mercy Hospital, where she’d died of cardiac arrest. The hospital delayed her death certificate by five months and stored her at an off-site morgue that allegedly harvested her organs without consent. Similar cases of missing Black bodies have emerged, fueling accusations of systemic neglect, organ trafficking, and medical racism.

In this powerful episode of No Tears For Black Girls, we explore the chilling case of Rebecca "Becky" Bliefnick, whose appearance on Family Feud with her husband became tragically prophetic. When Becky jokingly told Steve Harvey that her biggest mistake was "saying yes to my husband," she had no idea those words would foreshadow her own murder just months later.On February 23rd, 2023, Becky was found shot to death in her Quincy, Illinois home by her estranged husband Timothy Bliefnick - the same man who smiled on national television while claiming "I love my wife." We dive deep into the investigation that revealed Tim's calculated plan to stalk and murder the mother of his three children, and examine how the system failed to protect Becky despite her desperate pleas for help.But this episode goes beyond one tragic case. We also tell the story of Korryn Gaines, a 23-year-old Black mother from Baltimore who was killed by police in 2016 while trying to protect herself from an abusive partner. Despite facing similar domestic violence and systemic failures, Korryn's story received a fraction of the media attention that Becky's case generated.Through these parallel stories, we examine the stark disparity in how our society responds to violence against women - and ask the difficult question: whose tears matter most? Why do some victims become household names while others are forgotten?Join host Samantha Paul as we demand justice for ALL women and challenge the media's selective empathy. Because every woman deserves to have her story told with dignity, compassion, and the demand for justice - regardless of the color of her skin.Featured Music: "No Tears For Black Girls" by Datzhott & Jayda Truth
