A private investigator spent months trying to track down R&B singer Aaron Hall for a sexual assault lawsuit related to Diddy, but court documents say the R&B star has essentially disappeared.
Hall, along with Diddy and the music company, are defendants in a federal civil case brought by plaintiff Lisa Gardner. Gardner’s attorney, Tyrone A. Blackburn, revealed that his team has been trying to serve Hall for more than a year but still cannot find his current address.
Blackburn described what he called an “extensive, diligent and well-intentioned effort” that only led to the old address, a dead-end street where neighbors say Hall moved away long ago.
The most recent search for the former Gay singer began in September 2025, when Blackburn hired Los Angeles private investigator Carlos Jackson to investigate Hall’s whereabouts.
Jackson conducted a database search, monitoring locations in Los Angeles County where Hall was known to walk his dogs, and then led him to Fulton County, Georgia, following a tip that suggested Hall might have ties to the Atlanta area.
Despite his extra powers, Hall was never seen or served in either state, documents say.
These efforts follow a new investigation on May 17, 2025, which again flagged an apartment on Victory Boulevard in Woodland Hills, California, as Hall’s last known address.
After early attempts, process servers returned there in early 2025, but no one was able to reach Hall, and no one in the building could confirm he still lived there. Blackburn said every clue that once linked Hall to a specific house is now obsolete. The hunt begins earlier.
In June 2024, shortly after the case was filed, process servers went to an address in View Park, California, believed to be Hall’s home, where current residents and neighbors told him Hall no longer lived there.
Days later, a second Los Angeles-area address in Tarzana turned out to be another dead end, with the owner saying Hall had lived there about two years ago but had since moved out.
By September 2024, the search moved to Cleveland, where servers attempted to access a Haller Avenue address associated with Hall’s name. On one try, no one answered the door; on the other hand, the residents said they didn’t know anyone named Aaron Hall and that the singer didn’t live there.
In November 2024, Blackburn’s office ordered a skip trace search and a more detailed investigation, which resulted in a return to the Woodland Hills Apartments and another unsuccessful attempt by emergency services.
In all, Blackburn said there have been at least 10 attempts to serve Hall in three states, using process servers, skip tracing, database searches and private investigators, without success.
With no current address and no trace of the singer, he now argues personal or mail service is “impossible” and is asking a judge to allow Gardner to serve Hall by publishing legal notices in the Los Angeles Times and the South Fulton Neighbor and mailing the documents to his last known address.
Gardner’s lawsuit accuses Diddy and Hall of sexually assaulting her around 1990, when she was 16 and attending a music industry event related to MCA Records.
She said Dee Dee and Hall gave her and a friend alcohol and took them back to Hall’s apartment, where Dee Dee forced her to have sex before Hall entered the room, pushed her down and raped her. She claims Dee Dee later returned to the home where she was staying and choked her until she passed out.
Didi has denied wrongdoing in other cases and lawyers for the defendants have challenged similar accusations, but Hall has not yet appeared in court in this case because no one has been able to find him.
