Two sisters, 3-year-old Diamond Bradley and her 10-year-old sister Tionda, vanished from their mother’s Southside Chicago apartment on the morning of July 6, 2001. Their mother, Tracey Bradley, left for work that morning and returned around noon to find the apartment empty and a note on the back of the sofa, purportedly written by Tionda, saying the girls had gone to a nearby store and the school playground. Other daughters were with their grandmother that day.

Police were not contacted until about six hours after the family discovered the girls missing. The ensuing investigation involved the FBI, volunteers, and searches of open fields, railcars and thousands of abandoned buildings, but produced no solid leads. Neighbors reported seeing the girls at the playground that morning and some as late as 3 p.m., and Tionda was marked absent from summer school the same day. Over the years multiple people have claimed to be one of the sisters and were ruled out by DNA, and questions remain about the note and an allegedly erased voicemail.

Does anyone have information about the Bradley sisters’ movements on July 6, 2001, or recall seeing them that day?
