I seriously doubt they are alive. I'm hoping that they will find their remains.

I fear you are correct. Heartbreaking

 

[cvaldez1975]

I don't see how its possible. And they had to have gone together. Something would have come up about either a dd young woman or a toddler.

We're approaching one year with no sign of Diamond or King. How can this be? Where are they?

I haven't followed this case closely, but is it possible they could have drowned somewhere in the area?

 

[sallye818]

At this point in the case, with seemingly NO leads whatsoever, anything could've happened, IMHO.

Far-fetched theory, but perhaps Diamond got into an abandoned car and couldn't get out so her and the baby passed as a result of heatstroke? I don't think they'd succumb to the elements in an abandoned house, but maybe. Just a silly thought to keep the thread on top.

I don't think it's a silly thought at all. Something happened to these two, and with no news...anything could be possible. I think it could be likely Diamond got into a situation she couldn't get out of. She may not have known what to do in an emergency situation.

Still no word. I live within 60 miles of here and never hear about this. Noting on the televison or papers. So sad. I hope they are found soon.

You are not forgotten Diamond and King

I was not able to find either Diamond or King in NAMUS. Has anyone found them?

King does have an NCMEC listing/flyer and a picture of Diamond is inlcuded, although no description of her (eg: no notation of her very short stature!)

I seem to recall reading in one of the articles last year that LE had taken DNA samples- I don't remember if that was like from their personal items, or just from relatives so a DNA profile could be developed if needed. I hope that DNA at least got into CODIS.

It just seems like there must be something else to do that we haven't thought of yet.... :sigh:

I didn't find them, either. I asked about it on one of the missing pages and will update if I get an answer.

1 year and still nothing.

I think it should be a crime to NOT report a minor missing. It's like nobody cares

To Diamond and King - I hope you are safe. I hope you are not hurting. I hope you are happy and healthy. Prayers you are both found soon.

Family frustrated as disabled woman, toddler remain missing

Monday marked one year since Diamond Bynum, now 22, stepped outside her family's house at 5th Avenue and Matthews Street with her now 3-year-old nephew, King Walker, and disappeared. Her father, Eugene Bynum Jr.; his wife, Susanne,and mother, Daisy Bynum, spent the day at Eugene Bynum's computer business on Cleveland Street in Gary and reminisced about the two.

Eugene Bynum, who has avoided social media since someone faked a confession that he was responsible for their disappearance, plans to post the video in hopes of renewing interest in their disappearance. He has to do something, because he and the family feel like no one else cares.

"We never imagined that we'd still be here a year later and not have any answers," Susanne Bynum said. "The house (on Matthews Street) still reminds me of it all."

 

[perfectingpink]

Eugene posted a video if anyone would like to watch it.

Unfortunately a severed head was found in the McKinley Park lagoon. Probably unrelated but made me wonder where Diamond and King are.

OK, the drawing of the victim sent chills through me. I'm probably just looking for any resolution but IMO it may resemble Diamond. No matter my heart breaks for the victim and family/loved ones.

Diamond is the first person I thought of the second I saw the drawing also. This is definitely heartbreaking!

Same reaction I had 😢

 

[mommylicious]

I thought I had read in another article that the remains were of someone recently deceased. If it is her, wonder where she's been all this time? Definitely looks female based on the sketch. Regardless of who it ends up being, no one deserves that.
