Texas woman says she’s Chicago missing child from over twenty years ago: reports
A bizarre video posted to social media claims to show a woman who has been a missing person since she was three years old.
Uploaded to TikTok on Wednesday, the video is captioned “Diamond Bradley missing for 21 years” and claims to show the long-lost child, now grown up.
“This is Diamond Bradley,” the person holding the smartphone says, focusing on Black woman with her. “Can I see your scar?”
The woman then appears to lean forward to show a scar with a nervous laugh. In the video, the group of women is recording themselves speaking next to a parked Harris County, Texas, law enforcement vehicle.

“A young lady reached out on Facebook,” said Diamonds’ great aunt, Sheliah Bradley-Smith Bradley-Smith. “She believes she is Diamond Bradley, my missing niece.”
Diamond Bradley, who went missing in 2001, would be 25-years-old today.

The file states, “She was last seen wearing purple ponytail holders in her hair. She has a scar on the left side of her scalp, has deep-set eyes, and is described as timid but loves to talk.”
According to the sisters’ mother, a note was found at the family’s home saying that Diamond and Tionda were going to the store and then the playground. They were not seen since.
