Police discuss details of Carlee Russell case
SUMMARY: Police in Hoover, Alabama are continuing to investigate the disappearance and subsequent reappearance of Carlee Russell, a 25-year-old woman who reported seeing a child walking along I-459 near Hoover after she got off work on July 13. However, police have found no evidence of a child walking along the highway or any reports of a missing child. Russell claims she was abducted and held captive in a trailer of a tractor-trailer before escaping on foot and being captured again. Police have questioned her story due to her search history, including searches for “how to take money from a register without being caught.”
