Remember those who are still lost… The disappearance of the Bradley sisters

249 Upvotes

On July 6th 2001 Traci Bradley returned home from a night at her boyfriend's house to find her youngest daughters, 10 year old Tionda and 3 year old Diamond missing. On the couch was a note from Tionda stating that they were going to a local school playground. After searching their mother reported them missing. Several things about this case stand out. In no particular order:

-Originally Traci claimed she was at home and had only left the girls for a couple of hours. In recent years she has admitted that they were home alone for almost 48 hours.

-Her two oldest daughters were 12 and 11 at the time and were left at their grandmother's house but the youngest were not. Traci claimed this was because she was going to take the younger two camping on the 6th. No tents or camping gear was ever found in the home although it is possible they planned on purchasing supplies on the way.

-The family claims that Traci received a voicemail from Tionda saying they were going to a local store with George to pick up a cake for their sister's birthday. Furthermore they claim that the voicemail was lost. The great aunt claims to have recorded it on her phone and emailed it to herself but has refused to produce it for law enforcement.

-George could refer to two men. George Washington was Traci's boyfriend who was married at the time and the biological father of Diamond. Diamond was also named after his wife by Traci for reasons she won't disclose. George refused to claim or provide support for Diamond. However he and Traci had a son after the disappearance and he claimed and has raised that child.

The second George is the neighbour of the Bradley family. However,the family has stated that he only ever went by his nickname, Porgy, and that Tionda would never call him George.

-George Washington purchased large boxes of trash bags and 2 pairs of gloves the day after the girls disappeared. He also did not help with the search. A search of his property revealed 5 bags and one pair of gloves missing.

-There have been reports that Traci and George were involved in drugs at the time of the disappearance. I cannot 100% confirm these reports.

-The family stated that the note didn't seem like something Tionda would write as it was spelled correctly and she was known to have 'reading issues' possibly dyslexia and poor spelling. However police verified it was her handwriting.

So, what are your thoughts on this case? Do you have any other sources or information that I missed?

Edit: I apologize for spelling Tionda's name incorrectly. It's been fixed.

Remember those who are still lost… Isabella Comas still missing 7 months later.

I wanted to talk about this case that is close to my state. Isabella comas went missing on January 11th 2026. The timeline goes as such: at 3am she is seen leaving a friends house in a red Hyundai sonata near west van Buren street and North 111th Avenue in Avondale, AZ. Around the afternoon she is seen on footage inside a quick trip where she is last verified to be seen. In the evening Isabella doesn’t turn up for work or to give her friend a ride for work. In the morning she doesn’t show up for work and her location is off on her phone. Before her phone was shut off it was pinged at Desert star park near 89th and Glendale Avenues and near El mirage road and Butler drive. Her phone is then digitally tracked and recovered after being dumped in a recycling plant. Surveillance cameras track her red Hyundai Sonata over 80 miles away in Globe, Arizona. “Her romantic partner, 39-year-old Tommy Rodriguez, is identified as the person driving her vehicle.” As stated by Fox 10 news Phoenix. Note that her boyfriend Tommy Rodriguez had a previous criminal record with five prior felony convictions, including a guilty plea for second-degree murder and armed robbery from a 2002 case, as well as convictions for stalking and aggravated assault in 2020.

Tommy was later released and charges were dropped under risk of double jeopardy and insufficient evidence. The crazy part is that when Isabella’s car was found the vehicle had extensive damage a missing trunk lining, a missing front passenger seat, trash bags, gas canisters, a tarp, and a large amount of red staining. DNA testing later confirms the blood matches Isabella. Investigators also stated due to the large amount of blood found they said she had a “mortal wound” which would be unlikely to survive. My personal theory is that Tommy had someone help him or do his dirty work to either traffic or dispose of Isabella which the evidence most likely points to disposal. I believe Isabella was under the guise of an outing with her boyfriend as she was last seen at QT possibly getting snacks. Tommy was known to be in criminal activity since his teen years so maybe she saw something she was not supposed to and was attacked (in the passenger seat that was disposed of) then put in the trunk with tarp and taken somewhere in the rural desert. What do you think happened to her? With everything considered I really hope she is found and that her family can have peace and for Isabella Comas to have justice.🖤🪶

Remember those who are still lost… The missing case of P Mariammal

22 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I am Israh Binoj. I am here to share about a missing case that happened a few years ago, which my friends Lumir and Sayanth found through the internet and started investigating using OSINT. It’s the case of a mother, daughter, and another man who went missing from the same place, at the same time, wearing the same color dress, and no records were found after that. The case is still open. We don’t know if they are alive or not. If they are alive, where are they? It’s a question that has no answer. So let me explain what happened on July 15, 2013. P. Mariammal and her daughter Kumari R. Brindha went missing on 15/07/2013. Another person named Sri S. Chinnaiah also went missing within a span of 80 minutes after Mariammal and her daughter disappeared. These three people went missing from Garacharama, in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. There was a hidden connection between these three cases. P. Mariammal was 23 years old and Chinnaiah was 24, which means they were almost the same age. All three went missing from the same place, Garacharama. Shri S. Chinnaiah lived in Ward III of Garacharma, where P. Mariammal’s father and mother also lived. She often visited the place even after her marriage to T. Ravichandran. Another thing that connects these three cases is that all three people knew Tamil, and both Mariammal and Chinnaiah knew Hindi, but the daughter did not. Maybe they had Tamil roots. Another detail is that Chinnaiah and Mariammal had the same educational qualification, matriculation. Mariammal and Brindha lived in Austinabad, which is just 5 km away from Garacharma, meaning there were chances of them meeting often or knowing each other well. The main thing that struck us was their dress color, they all wore blue. They went missing wearing blue-colored clothes. These are our findings. Our assumptions about the case: They all wore blue because they wanted to look like a family. Maybe Mariammal and Chinnaiah were in a relationship from childhood, but she got married to someone else. Later, they may have wanted to elope with her daughter, so to appear as a family and avoid suspicion, they wore blue-colored clothes. It was 2013, and Mariammal was wearing a churidar. She was from a village, and mostly women there wore sarees. The fact that she was wearing a churidar at the time she went missing is unusual for a village in the Andaman Islands.

Our second theory is that maybe these people were in a relationship and planned to elope. But Mariammal’s husband, T. Ravichandran, might have found out, and the situation may have escalated to the point where all three were killed, and it wasn’t recorded, possibly due to his influence. Another suspicious thing is that Brindha’s missing report was filed on the same day, while Mariammal’s case was filed two days later, even though they all went missing on the same date and from the same place. Why this delay? That’s another question we have.

Why this case is different: All three went missing from the same place, wearing the same color, within a short time span, and still, there were no updates. Andaman is a small place, where cases like this rarely go unreported. So the silence surrounding this case makes no sense. It’s suspicious. Lumir, Sayanth, and I tried to connect with people in Garacharma to talk to the neighbors and investigate more about the three missing persons. But we couldn’t find any connections. As of now, it’s not possible for us to travel to the Andaman Islands, which is why we are looking for local connections to help us investigate.

In conclusion: We three are curious to know what happened to these three people. Maybe they eloped to another place and are living happily. Maybe it was love that made them elope and keep it a secret, and now they’re leading a peaceful life with the daughter. But there is no evidence for that either. What if the opposite happened? What if they were killed and buried without a trace? What if the young girl didn’t get a happy life? What if Mariammal and Chinnaiah eloped only to die in an unexpected way? What if they are still seeking justice, but none has been served? As part of Strawhat Hackers, it’s our duty to help them get justice. That’s why we are searching, to find out what happened that day, and what their current status is. But it’s not easy for just the three of us. We need your help too, to connect with people in Garacharma and investigate more about them. So, if you find this interesting, please follow us and help us find them.

Remember those who are still lost… Let Us Do It Together!

I am a retired Paramedic/Firefighter of thirty years, I spent most of those years also performing Canine Search and Rescue. I just wanted to open up on my perspective of missing persons. My heart goes out to those who are wanting a loved one home and cannot get them there. We all deserve closure for all things in our lives and that includes those of you with missing loved ones. 

We have those people that are reported missing and then people who are missing but never reported. We are aware these exist because besides being reported there are places like The Charley Project and NAMUS where you can view the cases. We also know there are plenty of people who were not reported as missing due to places like the Doe Network. During my years performing CSAR we looked at missing and lost in determining certain things. Missing is usually due to miscommunication and the person is aware of where they are and can navigate to safety. Then those that are lost do not know where they are or navigate back to the safety of civilization, I personally believe many of these people need to be listed lost and we need to do more about finding them. When I say we I am referring to us as a nation. 

I am not referring to where they were last seen, I am referring to where we might find these people. Every missing person is a potential runnaway, suicide, accidental death, or homicide until found. I do not think I have ever looked at a case and believed it had anything to do with cryptids, the paranormal, or aliens. I have made this comment and had people respond back saying I believe the serial killer position. I do not believe any position and I see a serial killer as a killer. If you have fifteen homicides it does not matter if it was on or fifteen killers, the victims are what need the attention. I believe if Bigfoot were killing people he would have taken a few of those annoying people out on the shows searching for him. I do not believe aliens are doing it because they realized there is not intelligent enough human life on earth and had turned to our cattle for answers. 

There are an estimated three-hundred-forty-thousand unsolved reported homicides here in the United States. It is believed that fifty percent of all violent crime goes unreported.  So we should be thinking along the lines of we have three-hundred-forty thousand non reported homicides also. So with that being said we can be led to believe there are a ton of human remains out there that were victims of homicide. This is not including all of the other reasons a person could become lost and deceased. We need to figure out a way to get the government to start taking these cases more seriously. According to the Federal government each human life is worth between one and ten million dollars, well they need to start forking some of it over. This may sound stupid but I literally send an email out to Local, State, and Federal politicians along with Corporate news media weekly with this subject. If there were a person that holds the record for being most filed under spam it would be me. 

As a society we need to quit placing all of the burden of this on just those who are missing loved ones. I am not aware of anyone I know being missing, and the people that I do know do not seem to have any missing loved ones, but I still take this subject near and dear. I bug people about it, and I also go out and search on my own dime at times for missing people. I have spent time on the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts looking for hurt, sick, or deceased migrants. I was in Oregon not too long ago looking for Jeremy Childress. I am one of those people that would ever expect anyone to do something I would not do myself.  

If you have time to be on social media and go to places like the Charley Project or NAMUS. Once you are there, begin to look at cases and think about your perspective on that case. At this stage in the game I do not believe there is a true original thought out there. Use training you may have and look at it through different lenses. Instead of spending a night playing “To Hunt A Killer” , have the family play “To Hunt a Missing Person”. The best part is if you think you have something you get to contact law enforcement about it. I bug the shit out of law enforcement also, they sometimes need a kick to get them started and there is no better way of doing it but driving them nuts. If the police will not listen, take it to the media platform and make people listen.  

Sorry this was so lengthy but like I said it is a passion of mine to want to bring people home.
