re: Nursing student disappears after reporting toddler walking on interstate UPDATE: ARRESTED

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.

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.”
