KOKOMO, INDIANA: A woman from Indiana who disappeared in mid-January is now believed to be deceased following the discovery of body parts in a dumpster by the police.
According to Toofab, a man has been charged with her murder after a TikTok video went viral, in which she predicted that Jonathon Christy would kill her.
Remarkably, the video was posted a month prior to her disappearance on December 19, 2023.
In the video, the missing woman, presumed dead, Brandi Bradley, stated, "If I end up dead and my dismembered body is found all over Kokomo, it was John Christy."
What did police report?
The video seemed to have been removed, but another one from the same day showed Bradley talking.
She said, "Now, I'm getting questioned and being told, pretty much, it's bulls**t that I’m posting this s**t on public media."
Then she asked, "Now why the f**k wouldn't I? That's what I want to know. Do you have someone threatening to murder you?"
According to the Kokomo Police Department, Bradley was reported missing by her family on February 11, 2024.
The last time she spoke to her family was on January 19.
On Tuesday, the police said they got information during their investigation that led them to search a distant place.
This led to Jonathon Christy being arrested for murder.
What did Jonathan Christy claim about his murder charges?
According to court documents, the police searched a dumpster where Christy claimed he threw away and burned things that belonged to him and his wife, who died in July 2023.
In the dumpster, they found a belt and bones that doctors think are human, like arm bones, ribs, and fingers.
When the police asked Christy about it, he said they wouldn't find anything unusual in the dumpster and denied being involved in Bradley's disappearance.
He said he hadn't seen her for weeks after an argument at their apartment.
Although the police haven't confirmed finding Bradley's body, if the remains are hers, it connects to her TikTok page in a strange way.
In another video she posted in November, her face was shown over a burning dumpster.
After Christy's arrest, people commented on how creepy the footage is, saying, "it's like she knew."
The police said Christy and Bradley lived together, and they had been called to their home five times between December 30, 2023, and January 19, 2024.
They also found blood at a place where Christy dumped things from his work.
What did witness report amid Bradley’s missing case?
Then, on February 26, there was a big development in the case.
An alleged witness came forward saying Christy offered them $500 to help with a job. When they got to the home, Christy said, "It's done."
Inside, they said they saw Bradley's dead body with a bag over her head and a belt around her neck.
The witness said Christy claimed Bradley made a mess in the home, which made him angry and he hit her with a wrench.
They said they were forced to help move the body, which they put into Christy's truck and took to the dumpster where the bone fragments were found. "I have to burn it," Christy allegedly said, before it was set on fire.
