Case Story |
|
| |
Mom Comes Home To Find Girls Missing |
|
| |
Tionda and Diamond Bradley were accustomed to staying home alone. Being the daughters of a single working mother they learned to be self-sufficient at an early age. Their mother, Tracey Bradley, told police that when she went to work early on the morning of July 6, 2001 her daughters were asleep in the living room, the best place in the apartment to escape the summer heat.
When she returned six hours later around noon she was planning to take the girls on a camping trip to Indiana. However, instead of finding her girls she found a note written in Tionda's handwriting. The note said that the girls were going to the store and going to play at a nearby school. Tionda was attending summer school and school officials say she was absent that day. |

Frantic Searches Turn Up Nothing |

Tracey looked for her daughters for several hours but could not find them anywhere. She reported them missing Friday evening. Several neighborhood children have told cops that they saw the girls playing outside of their complex at around noon on Friday. Police say no one has seen them since. Police searched the areas surrounding the girl's home and lake. Police dug up the cellar of the abandoned New Hope church and found nothing. Investigators searched steel mills, thick woods, and the murky bottoms of small lakes, and big ponds.
George Washington, Diamond's father, was interviewed by police for more than two days before he was allowed to go home. Along with their mother, Washington was one of the last family members to see the girls before they vanished.However, in the years since the Bradley sisters have been missing police say they are still waiting for the tip that will bring the girls home. |
