The Search and the $10,000 Reward
At 16:50 · chapter starts 16:32
The investigation into Tionda and Diamond Bradley became one of the most sprawling missing persons operations Chicago had ever seen. For weeks, hundreds of Chicago police officers, FBI agents, and civilian volunteers searched the South Side's streets, sewers, and abandoned factories; investigators ran down close to 100 registered sex offenders and even flew to Morocco to follow up a lead involving a North African man who had stopped paying child support that summer. Tracey and George were each interrogated for 22 hours separately. The search extended to Wisconsin, where investigators searched the girls' great-grandfather's house, but nothing turned up. Over the years, around 12 people came forward claiming to be one of the sisters. Most recently, in May 2023, a woman in Harris County, Texas posted a TikTok claiming to be Diamond, citing memories of riding in a car with Tionda and a scar in the exact location listed in Diamond's records. She eagerly submitted a cheek swab and fingerprints to the FBI, but no DNA results have been made public. A $10,000 reward remains on the table, and age-progression images show what the sisters might look like today — Tionda at 35 and Diamond at 28.

Chicago's Biggest Missing Persons Operation — The Bradley Sisters
The search for Tionda and Diamond Bradley became one of the biggest missing persons operations in Chicago history. Hundreds of officers, FBI agents, and civilian volunteers combed the South Side's streets, sewers, and abandoned buildings. Investigators ran down close to 100 registered sex offenders and even flew to Morocco — and still came up empty.
The Woman in Harris County Who Claims to Be Diamond Bradley
In May 2023, a woman in Harris County, Texas posted a TikTok claiming to be Diamond Bradley. She had scarring in the same location as Diamond's documented scar. She agreed to a cheek swab and submitted fingerprints to the FBI. As of the last reporting, no DNA results were ever made public.
