Two little girls in Chicago are left home alone when their mom goes to work. This is not the first time 10-year-old Tionda Bradley has been left in charge of her three-year-old sister, Diamond. Their mother, Tracey, was raising them on her own, along with two other siblings. But on this day, Tracey would return home to an empty apartment with no sign of her girls, other than a mysterious note.

What followed was the biggest manhunt in Chicago’s history at the time, but few clues would emerge in the search for the sisters. Over the years, several people have claimed to be either Tionda or Diamond, with the most recent claim coming from a woman in Texas. The FBI is currently awaiting DNA tests, while the Bradley sisters’ family hopes against hope that this mystery will finally be solved.

If you have any information about the disappearance of Tionda and Diamond Bradley, please contact Chicago Police Department detectives at 312-747-8380. You can also contact your local FBI office or the nearest American Embassy or Consulate. The family’s private detective can be reached at 847-579-9771.
