On the morning of July 6, 2001, 10-year-old Tionda Bradley and her 3-year-old sister Diamond vanished from their mother’s apartment in Chicago. Their mother, Tracey Bradley, left the girls asleep at about 6:30 a.m. and returned near 11:00 a.m. to find the apartment empty and a note on the back of the couch saying the girls were going to a nearby store and a school playground.

Tionda was described as shy with strangers, enjoyed running track and dancing, and had a burn scar the size of a quarter on her left forearm. Family members questioned the note’s grammar and spelling, saying it seemed beyond Tionda’s level and that she likely would have called her mother instead. A voicemail in which Tionda allegedly mentioned a man named George at the door was reportedly erased.

An extensive search and thousands of leads, including interviews with registered sex offenders, produced no confirmed sightings or breakthroughs. Several people later claiming to be one of the sisters were excluded by DNA testing. Does anyone who knew the girls or the neighborhood have information that could help explain what happened that day?
