Well, that could account for the "tall brown-skinned man" that the truck-driver reported seeing at her car.

The truck driver probably saw her when she walked around to the passenger side of her car. When she does that a truck drives by on the video and it looks like she may have opened the back door and leaned into the car which fits with the reported sighting by the trucker.

I'm leaning hard that this wasn't an abduction at all. You can clearly see her exit the vehicle and stand beside it. Her SiL says that she heard her asking what is presumed to be the child if they were ok, but no other figure appears visible. Secondly no other figure appears in the light at any time. No one approaches the car. No one leans into the car either, which makes the truck driver's statement very odd. The mile markers themselves are a half mile apart and are clearly visible in the video. If you watch the video you will see no other car pull over into or out of the emergency lane.

Imo the only place she could go was directly into the woods which would have put her in the very large neighborhood on the other side of the tree line. She would have almost immediately been in someone's backyard. That's also extremely inconvenient if you're planning to nab someone because you'd need your vehicle parked in front of someone's home rather early in the evening and you'd need to drag said person through someone's back and front yard to make your escape

The trucker actually reports seeing a grey car and makes it sound like that’s the car the man was leaning into. Carlee was dressed in all black not khaki shorts. I agree it all had to happen real fast and he got lucky to get out of there but it is possible. It’s weird not being able to see this grey car get back on the interstate though. He would have had to do it with no lights on. That stretch of interstate is extremely dark at night but it seemed pretty busy at the time.

quote:

Talitha Russell said a tip was called in from a trucker who was traveling along I-459 at the time of Carlee Russell’s disappearance.

“He saw her red car with the door open and he saw a grey car with a tall brown skinned man with khaki shorts on leaning over in the car,’’ Talitha Russell said.

“The police did find some tire tracks in the grass,’’ she said. “They said because it was not a muddy area, they were not able to determine what type of vehicle it could have been.”
