IN DIAMOND BYNUM & KING WALKER: Missing from Gary, IN - 25 July 2015 - Age 21 & 2

King and his mentally disabled aunt, Diamond Bynum, disappeared from Gary, Indiana on July 25, 2015. Bynum lived with her father and stepmother; King lived with his mother and visited his grandparents and aunt every weekend.

They were last seen at Bynum's home in the 500 block of Matthews Street at approximately 10:20 a.m., when Bynum's stepmother took a nap. When she woke up at 11:00 a.m., her daughter and grandson were gone. It's believed they walked away from the residence, possibly to go to a local store.

Bynum's family had moved to Gary from Hammond, Indiana in February 2015 and Bynum was still unfamiliar with the area; it's possible she and King became lost. Her family stated it's uncharacteristic of her to go more than a few blocks from home.

There were reported sightings of the pair in Gary, Hammond and Chicago after their disappearances, but none have been confirmed. Their family hopes they're still alive. Their cases remain unsolved.

Bless CBS for picking up their story! I’ve often wondered what’s going on with this case.

There was not, and continues to be, almost NO coverage of their case in Indiana.

I wonder why? Two people going missing is not that common I wouldn't think and especially missing and no sign of them or hint as to what happened after all this time.

This is such a strange case. If the aunt had taken him at her young age I doubt she could stay off the radar or would know how without help. And if they both disappeared, to where??? She was a full sized adult and young one I would think without life experience to go into hiding. it just makes no sense. They were in town in a city for goodness sakes weren't they? I mean of course they could both run into foul play or go with the wrong person but still with no trace, sign, suspicion of anyone and no one seeing these two get in a car or some other such thing...? I guess anything is possible but it is an odd one... Imo.

They don't believe she kidnapped him...

“At first, we believed they walked about because Diamond is known to wander and will get lost and not be able to find her way back,” said Walker at the time.

I don't think she did either and never have but am saying I can't see that because she isn't the age or type to be able to do that and it is about the only scenario I can imagine where possibly they are alive unfortunately. I probably didn't word it right but I was saying the opposite, that I don't think it is a possibility so where did they go or end up?
