For 26 years, her killer had a name… but she didn’t.
16-year-old Tiffany Bradley from Allentown, Pennsylvania, was trafficked into the Boston area. She was murdered by Eugene McCollom in his room at the Lynn YMCA. He strangled her, decapitated and dismembered her body, dumped her torso in a Chelsea parking lot, and buried her head and hands at Nahant Beach.
For over two decades she was known only as “Chelsea Jane Doe.” McCollom even lied to police, calling her “Lisa,” an adult from Philadelphia.
Her family reported her missing in November 2000 and never gave up hope. This week in 2026, thanks to DNA and genetic genealogy, Tiffany finally has her name back.
She was a daughter, a niece, a cousin, a basketball player — a child who deserved to grow up.
Say her name: Tiffany Bradley. 💔
Rest in peace, sweet girl. 🙏
her being killed by an obsessed fan who thought she was in love with him and when his friends told him she didn't know him, he decided to kill himself and her, will never sit right with me....
Omygoooooooodnesss!!!!! WHY have i never seen this before?!? What an awesome idea!!!
Can you imagine as a prerequisite all seniors choose a kindergartners to mentor and teach....... teaching the seniors patience and pride, and the kindergartners have someone to look up to ( not in their family)
And when the seniors graduate, the kindergartners will graduate with them (into first grade)
That would be an AWESOME program!
