Chicago police searched railroad crossings in hundreds of abandoned buildings and alleys looking for tianda and Diamond Bradley. The Bradley girls disappear from their mother's third-floor apartment. at 35th Street and Cottage Grove, after being left alone, was the largest search effort in Chicago history, but 10-year-old Tiana and three-year-old Diamond were never found.

. I'm seeing this

video

for what it is. This is the girl's great aunt, Shalia Bradley Smith, talking about a 20 second ticking video, this is Diamond Bradley, can I see your score? where someone in Texas said she was Diamond, the youngest of the Bradley sisters, when the woman contacted the aunt there. hesitation look I'm not the police call the police over the years listen to how many people have claimed to be the girls we had around 12 years old but they are easily dismissed but the young girl who made this claim did something that no one else has ever done.

In almost 22 years I have never met or experienced someone so eager to break down the doors of the FBI to prove who they are, that gives me a different Dynamic of Hope. Chilea says FBI agents from Chicago contacted her and informed her that they took DNA. test and fingerprints of the woman the DNA will tell the truth the young woman told the aunt that she can't remember much, including the whereabouts of the older sister, Tiana, she said well, eh, I more or less remember her, but I remember that We were in a car at the time. one day I woke up once they took us to the place where we were or where we lived she said she had never seen her again while the family waits for the DNA results the aunt is comforted knowing that Chicago is waiting with the same anxiety to bring the Bradley El Sisters' home, especially Chicago, has taken in these girls and they have not forgotten them, but I think I thank everyone now that the woman told the aunt that she recently escaped from whoever was holding her against her will at the time when Diamond , three years old, disappeared.

She had a scar on her forehead due to an injury. This woman has a similar scar in the same area. We have reached out to the FBI, but they have no comment on this ongoing investigation. They reported live in the control room tonight. Jermot Terry CBS 2 News Erica, it's okay. Vermont thank you
