On July 6, 2001, Diamond and Tionda were home alone before deciding to go to a nearby playground, The Independent reported. Before leaving, they left their mother, Tracey Bradley, a note letting her know where they were going. To her dismay, they never returned. The Bradley family has been looking for them ever since.

Over the years, the case saw many twists and turns that complicated figuring out what happened to the girls. In May, a woman claimed to be Diamond, who would be 25 years old, ABC 7 Chicago reported. The girl’s great aunt, Sheliah Bradley-Smith, told ABC 7 Chicago that the woman contacted her via Facebook.

“She pretty much said that she remembered being in a car and being around Tionda for a while, but then she said she was taken away and never saw her again,” Bradley-Smith said.
