For 26 years, her killer had a nameโฆ but she didnโt.
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 โChelsea Jane Doe.โ McCollom even lied to police, calling her โLisa,โ 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 โ a child who deserved to grow up.
Say her name: Tiffany Bradley. ๐
Rest in peace, sweet girl. ๐
