Diamond and Tionda Bradley

Sisters Tionda Bradley, 10, and Diamond Bradley, 3, went missing from their family's apartment in the Bronzeville neighborhood of Chicago's South Side on July 6, 2001, while their mother was at work. A note believed to be written by Tionda said the girls had gone to a nearby school and store; family members have said the note's wording seemed too advanced for Tionda's age. Chicago Police and the FBI conducted one of the largest search efforts in city history. Neither sister has been found; the case remains open, and the FBI lists a reward for information.
