Authored by PrincessLdyBg91

Ten-year-old Tionda Bradley and her 3-year-old sister, Diamond were last seen on July 6, 2001 in Chicago, Illinois. Their mother, Tracey left for work at approximately 6:30 AM; when she came home at approximately 11:00 AM, the girls were missing. Tionda apparently left a note saying that she and Diamond were planning on walking to a nearby store and school. 

At the time of the Bradley sisters' disappearance, Tionda was enrolled in summer classes at Doolittle Elementary School, but school officials said that she was absent on the day she went missing. Several children in the neighborhood told the police that they last saw the girls playing outside of their house at approximately 12:00 PM.

Tracey voluntarily took a polygraph test after her daughters' disappearance and is not considered a suspect in their disappearances. Investigators theorized that Tionda and Diamond were abducted by a North African man who paid child support for one of the girls until the summer of 2001 when he discovered that he wasn't the girl's father. FBI agents went to Morocco to investigate the lead, but there was no evidence that the girls were there.

Tionda and Diamond's cases are classified as non-family abductions. Tionda usually wears her hair in long ponytails. She has a quarter-sized burn scar located on her left forearm. At the time of her disappearance, she had a scrape located on her left calf. Diamond usually wears her hair braided in the back with four ponytails, has deep-set eyes and a scar located on the left side of her hairline.
