A new plea hearing has been set for an Alabama woman accused of falsely telling police she was abducted last summer after stopping her car to check on a toddler wandering near a highway.
Carlee Russell’s two-day disappearance, and her story of being abducted, captivated the nation before police called her story a hoax.Russell was scheduled for trial March 18, but a court document filed Thursday shows a plea hearing is now set for March 21. The document did not specify whether she will plead guilty.
Russell disappeared July 13 after calling 911 to report a toddler beside a stretch of Interstate 459 in the Birmingham suburb of Hoover, Ala. She returned home two days later and told police she had been abducted and forced into a vehicle. Prince Edward Island’s growing Hindu community finally has a place to come together and worship.
