<description>&lt;div&gt;Aniah Blanchard was a 19-year-old college student living in Auburn, Alabama, when on October 23, 2019, she never returned home. Despite dropping off her brother and telling him she was headed back to her apartment, she never arrived. Then, odd messages to her roommate started coming through, and by the next day, it was clear that she’d never made it back. Friends and family joined in on the search, and two days later, her car was found abandoned 50 miles away. There was enough blood inside of her vehicle that investigators determined foul play had occurred. Over the following weeks, three men ended up getting arrested in connection with her abduction, but only one of those men, Ibraheem Yazeed, was determined to be responsible for her actual murder. About a month later, Aniah’s body was found, and despite overwhelming evidence to suggest Ibraheem murdered her, he has yet to face trial in part because of the pandemic and also in part due to our slow justice system. However, justice is on the horizon. Her family never gave up hope that she would be found, and they have since created Aniah’s Heart, a nonprofit in her honor.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Aniah's Heart: &lt;a href="https://www.aniahsheart22.com/"&gt;https://www.aniahsheart22.com/&lt;br&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; Higher Hope Foundation: &lt;a href="https://www.higherhope.org/"&gt;https://www.higherhope.org/&lt;br&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; Donate to NCMEC through my campaign!&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href="https://give.missingkids.org/campaign/kendall-rae/c438796"&gt;https://give.missingkids.org/campaign... &lt;br&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; Shop my Merch! &lt;a href="https://kendallrae.shop/?utm_medium=product_shelf&amp;amp;utm_source=youtube&amp;amp;utm_content=YT-APM2gMBC-ZAcyfd9rI1F6ZUaBcYdNNpOo1rKG-qts-ILfvugV9bS6WtAvtmBqntCmjSAq_YNh0tDk9cOVrss5sEYi7UrYcxigNUBm6FJS-JQzZDEqZy_vsR4VUDIXFdi-m-LRMem9BnrfLAiBa86gDFqo-K46L69VH-YQn5ziK-FkLULFsQKrImo"&gt;https://kendallrae.shop&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; This episode is sponsored by:&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href="https://laundrysauce.com/?utm_source=podcast"&gt;Laundry Sauce&lt;/a&gt; - promo code: &lt;strong&gt;KENDALL&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href="https://fromourplace.com/"&gt;Our Place&lt;/a&gt; - promo code: &lt;strong&gt;TCKR&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href="https://onboarding.rocketmoney.com/infl?_forward_params=1&amp;amp;_smtype=3&amp;amp;utm_campaign=kendallrae&amp;amp;utm_medium=podcast&amp;amp;utm_source=podcast&amp;amp;wpcid=kendallrae&amp;amp;wpcn=kendallrae&amp;amp;wpsnetn=podcast"&gt;Rocket Money&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.uncommongoods.com/podcast/tckr"&gt;Uncommon Goods&lt;br&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; Check out Kendall's other podcasts:&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/TheSeshPodcast"&gt;The Sesh&lt;/a&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/MileHigherPodcast"&gt;Mile Higher&lt;br&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; Follow Kendall!&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKBaL17hXLGJvi2KZKpja5w"&gt;YouTube&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/kendallraeonyt"&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href="http://instagram.com/kendallraeonyt"&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href="https://bit.ly/3kar4NK"&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href="http://instagram.com/milehigherzoo"&gt;Mile Higher Zoo&lt;br&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; REQUESTS:&lt;br&gt; General case suggestion form: &lt;a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSchuZQk7PLDqLabkH_dQs_IuKDwi6E78xkPby3NGtDbEjKy4A/viewform"&gt;https://bit.ly/32kwPly&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; Form for people directly related/ close to the victim: &lt;a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSekH-b6AljpRDziICX3ifu_X7GMU8l6x11KrsGMVmTyF_X43g/viewform"&gt;https://bit.ly/3KqMZLj&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; Discord: &lt;a href="https://discord.com/invite/an4stY9BCN"&gt;https://discord.com/invite/an4stY9BCN&lt;br&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; CONTACT:&lt;br&gt; For Business Inquiries - &lt;a href="mailto:kendall@INFAgency.com"&gt;kendall@INFAgency.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </description>
