Below is a flyer from the Indiana Center for Missing and Exploited Children with an age progression picture on King Walker who would now be four-years old.

I feel this will never be solved. If it is solved it will be accidental. [emoji20] jmo

There was some msm about Diamond and King.

Investigation continues into disappearance nearly 3 years ago of Gary woman, her nephew

Task force investigating Gary woman, nephew disappearance

The Northwest Indiana Major Crimes Task Force is now investigating the disappearance of Diamond Bynum, 22, and her nephew King Walker, 3, who vanished 15 months ago.

“Investigators strongly believe that someone knows what happened to Diamond and King, and more importantly, where they are at right now. We are counting on information from the public to help us find them,” said Robert Byrd, the Major Crimes Task Force spokesperson.

About time!! It's awful how little has been done on this case, certainly media-wise it's just never got "out there" anywhere near as much as others. I suspect this is because the police always suspected something closer to home, therefore public info is not needed. Perhaps they've just been watching and waiting, yet it's still come to nothing. Time for some serious pressure...

I can't access the article due to country restrictions. I remember a headline similar to that a long time ago, though. And the text says they vanished 15 months ago. At this time it's actually one month shy of three years.

It's from October 17, 2016.

The article posted upstream.

 

[perfectingpink]

Well I'll be! How the heck did I miss that date? I guess I was excited to see what I thought was movement.

 

[perfectingpink]

I figured out what I did. This is what I saw when I googled for updates.

 

[DakotaMayi]

No worries @perfectingpink. Just glad to see Diamond & King's thread pop back up again. Whatever the reason. Thanks for bringing them to the forefront again.

Three years ago, Diamond Bynum and nephew King Walker disappeared without a trace

Bynum, 21 at the time and described as developmentally disabled, and her nephew went missing July 25, 2015, from their home in the 500 block of Matthews Street.

Bynum's stepmother told Gary police she, Bynum and King took a nap at their home. When she awoke about 11 a.m., Bynum and King were gone.

Live PD, a national television show on the A&E network, highlighted the case on July 14, with hopes of generating tips, according to a news release from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children

This has got to be one of the most baffling cases I've ever followed!

Still praying To see "Found Safe" one day.

Unidentified Person Case Anyone think possible for King?

 

[sallye818]

28 inches long (tall) and 15 lbs is very tiny. I think, too tiny for a 2 year old. I think IME a 2-yr-old would weigh 25-35 lbs. (Unless, and I hate to even say this, some of the remains were burned and the weight would've been more. I see the remains were found in a fire, also). The clothes do look like little girls' clothing.

Thank you for taking the time to check NAMUS for this precious little boy. I shudder to think who this child might be, if not King. What happened to this child in IL?

 

[sallye818]

Forgot to add...I looked up King's missing poster stats and it says he's about 3ft tall and 35 lbs.

 

[Jabarn]

This story has been fishy from the beginning, at least to me. It makes little sense an intellectually disabled adult and a two year would just walk away while their caregiver took a nap, never to be seen again.
