Carlethia 'Carlee' Nichole Russell, who told police she was abducted, admitted Monday through a statement from her lawyer that she was not kidnapped.
2:57 PM PDT, July 24, 2023Carlethia"Carlee" Nichole Russell, a 25-year-old Alabama nursing student who told police she was abducted, admitted Monday through a statement from her lawyer that she was not kidnapped.
In the days since, police said they were unable to verify most of Russell's statement about being captured. Officers thought they were finally going to meet with her again Monday, but Russell's attorney emailed a statement instead, Hoover Police Chief Nick Derzis said."We ask for your prayers for Carlee as she addresses her issues and attempts to move forward," Derzis read on behalf of Russell's lawyer.
On July 11, Russell searched:"Do you have to pay for an Amber alert," according to police. On the day of her disappearance, Russell searched online for the Birmingham bus station and information on bus tickets. She searched for information on taking money from a register without being caught. Russell also did an online search for the movie"Taken," which is about a woman who is abducted and the ensuing quest to rescue her.
The Alabama woman ordered food from a nearby business at The Colonnade shopping mall and picked it up before she headed to a Target on Highway 280. She bought some granola bars and Cheez-Its and stayed in the store parking lot until 9:21 p.m.
