ALLENTOWN, Pa. – The FBI says a teenage girl from Allentown has been identified as a murder victim in a 2000 Massachusetts cold case.<\/p>\n
The FBI says 16-year-old Tiffany Bradley was trafficked across state lines, decapitated, dismembered, and dumped in the back of a parking lot in Chelsea, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n
Recently, the FBI used DNA from Bradley’s body and was able to match it to her brother who now lives in Texas.<\/p>\n
Bradley’s family says she was full of promise, and loved her family and friends, as well as dancing and traveling.<\/p>\n
“Her last conversation with her favorite cousin was cut short, with her voice trembling, saying, I’ll call you later,” said Shakirah Wiggins, the\u00a0victim’s niece.<\/p>\n
“I want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart, not letting my baby be a box on the shelf,” said Janet Bradley-Knight, the victim’s aunt.<\/p>\n
In 2005, Eugene McCollom pleaded guilty to the murder of the then-unidentified victim.<\/p>\n
He was sentenced to life in prison.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ALLENTOWN, Pa. – The FBI says a teenage girl from Allentown has been identified as a murder victim…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":211401,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[119,121,120,3289,28],"class_list":["post-211400","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-allentown","tag-allentown","tag-allentown-headlines","tag-allentown-news","tag-federal-bureau-of-investigation","tag-pennsylvania"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211400","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=211400"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211400\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/211401"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=211400"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=211400"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=211400"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
