After talking with a relative of the Bradley's, the woman purporting to be Diamond visited an FBI office where she underwent fingerprinting along with a DNA test.
The FBI is conducting a DNA test to determine whether a woman in Texas is Diamond Bradley, who disappeared from her Chicago home along with her sister more than 20 years ago and hasn't been since, according to family.
A video recently surfaced on social media, beginning with a police car in a Texas parking lot as someone says"here with Diamond Bradley," while displaying a picture of Bradley's missing person's poster on a phone. The camera shifts to a woman standing beside a vehicle as the other person says,"This is Diamond Bradley, can I see your scar?," at which point the camera zooms in on what is supposedly a scar.
Diamond and Tionda Bradley were 3 and 10 years old when they disappeared from the family's Bronzeville home in the summer of 2001, beginning what may be the largest missing person's investigation in Chicago history. The girls' mother returned home from work to find a note allegedly written by Tionda, claiming she and Diamond had gone to the store and a school playground nearby.
"She said she has information about Diamond Bradley, and I say what about...?," Bradley-Smith recounted in an interview with NBC 5."Well, she says, I am Diamond Bradley." After talking with Bradley-Smith, the woman purporting to be Diamond visited an FBI office where she underwent fingerprinting along with a DNA test. As of Friday, it's unclear if the FBI received the results, though the agency did agree to expedite the test.
