Overview
- Court filings detail more than a year of failed attempts to serve Hall beginning June 12, 2024, spanning addresses in California, Ohio, and Georgia.
- Plaintiff’s attorney Tyrone A. Blackburn asked a judge in March 2025 to permit service by publication, with notices proposed for the Los Angeles Times and the South Fulton Neighbor and mailings to last known addresses.
- A private investigator, Carlos Jackson, was hired in September 2025 and logged at least 10 searches without confirming Hall’s whereabouts.
- Combs has been served in the case and denies the allegations, allowing litigation to proceed on a separate track as to him.
- No criminal charges have been filed, and if publication service is authorized the case could advance against Hall and risk a default if he does not respond.
