True Crime with Xyla is a true crime podcast that focuses on bringing the public’s attention to lesser known cases. Each episode is researched, written, produced and hosted by me (Xyla). Every Wednesday, we revisit solved and unsolved stories that may not have made national headlines, but still matter deeply. My mission is to keep their names and stories in the public’s eye, and to re-tell each case with empathy, compassion, and the care every story deserves.

Intro:
In the early hours of August 8, 1982, 19-year-old Diane Bélanger vanished without a trace in what some believe was a chilling case of mistaken identity. One moment, she was a vibrant young woman with her whole life ahead of her. Then... nothing. No witnesses. No solid leads. Just silence. Decades later, her family is still haunted by the questions that were never answered. What happened to Diane Bélanger?
