      I bet it was the imposters' families that put them up to it, as a ways to get money for interviews and clout. Because only people who were old enough to remember this case would have invested. Not random young girls who probably heard about the case through conversations.

    Just saw this case on Disappeared.
    I'm praying that by some miracle that this woman is her, the side by side has similarities. However that would only solve one of the disappearances.
    I really felt during the episode mom knows way more.
    The bizarre camping trip that there was no evidence of.
    The man refused DNA proof of parentage.
    Mom lied about her whereabouts.
    My heart really breaks for the girls' older sisters and also great auntie.
    I can't understand why mom would lie for all these years if she didn't really know what happened.
    Editing to add: the fact the girl didn't contact investigators first and went to social media first.. leads me to believe she is not who she is trying to claim to be.

    The ID Channel will have it on this weekend. I'd been wondering for.months the results of the DNA test. I looked for the updates and couldn't find a thing. Now I know why, because The ID Channel hoped on it and is holding the results until thus Sunday. And I will be watching. If that girl was Diamond, I don't think the police would wait on a show to announce Diamond had been found. They'd waist no time trying to find the other sister that this girl is not to sure what happened to her. So I'll be glued to this most definitely

      They still don't have the results available. Last week the aunt was told that it may be December before they are back. Unless court ordered DNA test can take months. They conduct test in order. The lab that they were sent to has a huge back log. They haven't even gotten to them yet. Pray for The Bradley family. They deal with a lot from lies to harassment. Someone contacted the aunt the other week pretending to be the older one Tionda. When she started asking questions she said it was a mistake. They go through a lot.

Then there’s the scar. If she’s not diamond I would be shocked. She definitely is a missing child or black market adoption either way. Unfortunately I don’t believe Tionda was kept alive because she was old enough to tell what happened .. either that or trafficked and heavily drugged? Idk.
