Forensic Artist: Girl on The Internet is Tionda Bradley
Steve Miller, WBBM NewsRadio 780 Reporting
CHICAGO -- A renowned forensic artist has looked at photographs of Tionda Bradley and compared them to photographs of a "mystery girl" the Bradley family found on line.
The artist's opinion: "It absolutely is her. Unless somebody can find this older girl and say, well, look, there's this huge mole or something ... It's her. All of the features are consistent."
Forensic artist Lois Gibson works for the Houston Police Department. She's the artist who did the drawing of the unidentified boy whose body was found in DuPage County.
And she's the artist who looked at the badly decomposed corpse of "Baby Grace," and did a drawing which led to the grandmother's identification of the child as Riley Sawyers.
Now, at the Bradley family's request, Gibson has turned her attention to photographs found on line of a girl in a black blouse who the family has believed was Tionda.
And Gibson thinks so too.
"It's her."
The Bradley girls' great aunt says authorities need to step up their investigation and find the girl in the photos - the girl she says she will now refer to as Tionda.
Gibson's Web site is loisgibson.com.
