Carlee Russell, who went missing in Alabama after a 911 call about a child on an interstate, says through her attorney she was not kidnapped
The statement from attorney Emory Anthony – read by Hoover Police Chief Nick Derzis during a news conference Monday afternoon – said the 26-year-old woman never left the Hoover area and acted alone. “My client apologizes for her actions to this community,” Anthony said in the statement. The statement didn’t indicate where Russell was while a large search for her took place. “We still don’t know where she was,” Derzis told reporters Monday, adding, “Only Carlee knows, and maybe now her attorney.
She then called a family member who lost contact with her – though the line remained open, according to the Hoover Police Department. She returned home on foot about 49 hours later, at around 10:45 p.m., according to Hoover police. “We ask for your prayers for Carlee as she addresses her issues and attempts to move forward, understanding that she made a mistake in this matter,” Anthony said in the statement.
