Bradbury was told March 29 by sheriff’s department officials that a death certificate would be forthcoming, following a series of administrative actions. The two partial skull bones are the only remains Bradbury is aware of that are believed to be from his daughter. He claims investigators showed him a much different skull shortly after hikers discovered the remains. “I have been attempting to obtain her remains since October 2009, and have been continuously been told, ‘another few months, another few months.’ It’s now been almost six months, and still no death certificate.” “In 1991, we were told her remains were ready to be transferred, but there was no death certificate then, and there is not one now,” Bradbury wrote in an e-mail last week. People across the county reported sightings of a suspect, a man in his 50s, and his metallic-blue van, seen at Indian Cove shortly adrians game before Laura disappeared.
The search for her became a national story and Laura was one of the first missing children to be featured on milk cartons. A hotline was established to gather tips and field inquiries. The Bradbury family then mobilized their own massive private search effort, convinced that Laura could be found. A sniffer dog followed her scent for about two miles before losing it. Over 250 people, accompanied by horses, dogs, and helicopters, searched for Laura in Joshua Tree National Park and the surrounding area.

A similar man was spotted in the Burns Canyon area a few hours after her disappearance, and investigators speculated to the press that he was taking the back road to Big Bear. The 3 1/2-year-old disappeared from Indian Cove Campground in Joshua Tree National Park during a family camping trip Oct. 18, 1984. Direct references are checked; search links are provided as further-reading aids. Laura's father spent years searching for answers and wrote a book about the family's ordeal. Several suspects were examined over the decades, but nothing produced charges, and the contradictions surrounding the recovered remains only deepened the mystery.

Authorities believed the remains were Laura's, but the identification became a source of lasting dispute. In March 1986, hikers discovered a child's skull and other skeletal remains near the west entrance of the park, roughly five miles from the family's campsite. A bloodhound reportedly followed the scent from Laura's flip-flops for about two miles before losing the trail near a spot where witnesses had reported seeing a van. A child's skull found nearby in 1986 was believed to be hers, but the identification remains disputed, and the case is unsolved with no arrests. According to the report, only one of four DNA tests performed on the skull matched DNA samples from Laura’s mother’s blood. He also had a report on tests that provided inconclusive results on whether the cranium was his daughter’s. Mike heard the story of Clifford Leville and Toby Santangelo, who were said to have told deputies they had solid information about a man they believed kidnapped Laura.

The Indian Cove Campground is a family and group camping area, approximately 9 miles east of the Town of Joshua Tree and 3 miles south of SR62. No arrests have ever been made, and the case remains unsolved. Even hair taken from Laura’s hairbrush did not match DNA with the skull, he said. In 1990, new DNA tests were said to prove the skull was Laura's, with a 99% likelihood of a match. He grew increasingly contemptuous of sheriff's deputies for not doing enough about the many tips that flowed into the Laura Center. But Mike Bradbury had lost faith in the deputies, and he'd mounted his own search. The sheriff’s department even brought in a hypnotist to try to coax out more details from campers who had seen the bearded, pot-bellied man and his van.
For years, no death certificate was issued, leaving the family without closure. Investigators came to believe Laura had been abducted, and tips pointed to a stocky, middle-aged man and a blue van seen in the area. No physical trace of the little girl was ever recovered, and the official search was scaled back after only a few days. The response was one of the largest searches the region had seen. On the evening of October 18, 1984, shortly after the family arrived and set up camp, Laura walked with her eight-year-old brother to the campground's restrooms. No one saw the man grab or abduct Laura but it's believed she was likely lured or walked over to the vehicle. An extensive search was conducted, but Laura was never located. When family members could not find Laura they notified the sheriff’s department.
In 1986, hikers found a skull believed to be hers near the west entrance to the park, five straight-line miles over rugged terrain from the Bradburys’ campsite. Three days after she vanished, the county sheriff’s department called off the wide-scale search and concentrated on the possibility that Laura had been kidnapped. Mike Bradbury accompanied a bloodhound that followed what was believed to be tracks from Laura’s flip-flops for about 2 miles before the dog lost the scent. ORANGE COUNTY — Twenty-five years after she went missing from Joshua Tree National Park, Mike Bradbury continues to search for the truth of what happened to his daughter Laura Ann Bradbury. Laura's father publishes a book about the search; the identification of the remains remains contested. A search of more than 250 people with dogs and helicopters fails to find her; a bloodhound loses her scent near where a van was reportedly seen. More than four decades after Laura Bradbury stepped away from a campground restroom and disappeared into the desert dusk, what happened to her remains unknown.
DNA testing on the remains produces conflicting results; Laura's father disputes that the skull is his daughter's, and no death certificate is issued for years. Hikers find a child's skull and remains near the park's west entrance, about five miles from the campsite, believed to be Laura's. The two partial skull bones are the only remains Michael was aware of that are believed to be from his daughter. He claimed that investigators showed him a completely different skull shortly after hikers discovered the remains. In 1986, a skull believed to be that of Laura Bradbury was found by hikers near the park’s west entrance, only two miles from the family's campsite (some reports say 5 miles). Bradbury has a report on tests that provided inconclusive results on whether the cranium was his daughter’s.
