IL IL - Diamond, 3, & Tionda Bradley, 10, Chicago, 6 Jul 2001

[steff13]

I just saw this thread. I read the girls' Charley Project pages.

Is it true that LE found a little girl in November 2001 who they thought might be Diamond, and the mom refused to identify her? If so, that is unfathomable to me.

Police say the skeletal remains appear to be those of two men, and may have been there for a-year-and-a-half.

I couldn't find Diamond or Tionda on doenetwork. I was really surprised because it is a fairly thorough site. I submitted their names.

What's the source for this picture? What experts?

The photo was of a girl who lived in California, she was identified and her father spoke to some reporters about it. Someone found the picture on a social media site I believe.
Here is one article about the photo, it also mentions the forensic expert (Lois Gibson) who misidentified her. I couldn't find anything more recent that actually mentioned the results of the investigation but since Tionda Bradley is still missing I guess the FBI were able to figure out that it wasn't her in the photo.

Hoping to help identify the unknown remains of people who have gone missing, people who have lost loved ones themselves are &#8220;adopting&#8221; John and Jane Does to raise awareness...

Families of missing people can help because they generate their own network of media contacts regularly, Bielby said. Since they are in the public eye, they can get people who are found but unidentified publicized, as well.

In Cook County, a Chicago Jane Doe was adopted by Sheila-Bradley Smith, great-aunt of missing children Diamond and Tionda Bradley, Bielby said.

Ten-year-old Tionda Bradley and 3-year-old Diamond Bradley disappeared from their Chicago home in July 2001. Police searched but have said they didn't find enough evidence to link a suspect to the crime. But Bradley-Smith, the girls' great-aunt, still yearns for an answer.

"There are times when you have hope, and there are times when you don't," she said. "There are times when you pray to find them alive, but then over time, you pray to find them dead &#8212; because you just want to find something."

Today marks 14 years since Tionda and Diamond went missing. Praying this is the year they finally come home.

Someone knows what happened to them. No tip is too small. There is still a 30,000 reward for this case.

Please do the right thing and bring these girls home. :rose:

You wonder when they will show up. They should be 17 and 24; hopefully they google themselves.

It's really amazing to me that this MANY years later, these girls haven't been found, come forward themselves, or <cringe> their bodies haven't been located. Prayers for this family and KUDOS to Sheilah, their aunt, for being so diligent!

Bumping for Diamond and Tionda.
