On the morning of July 25, 2015, 21-year-old Diamond Bynum and her 2-year-old nephew King Walker disappeared from their family home on the 500 block of Matthews Street in Gary, Indiana. Diamond lived with Prader-Willi syndrome, which caused developmental delays, a constant feeling of hunger and a pronounced limp; she had the mental capacity of a young child and was newly familiar with the neighborhood after a recent move from Hammond.

That morning Diamond and King were being watched by Diamond’s stepmother. After the stepmother put King down for a nap, she and Diamond also fell asleep. When the stepmother woke at about 11:00 a.m., both were gone. There were no signs of forced entry or a struggle at the house, and the home had ample food, so investigators and family said it was unlikely they wandered far on their own.

Searches by police and volunteers covered abandoned homes and other locations; tracking dogs led to a nearby gas station and an empty house but the trail went cold. Reported sightings in Gary, Hammond and Chicago were never confirmed. The family continues to publicize the case and hold out hope for their return.

If anyone has information about Diamond or King from July 25, 2015, please share what is known.
