She could have easily walked over the small hill and met someone waiting to pick her up. She also could have walked the half mile to the exit. I highly doubt she went off into the dense woods on the side of the road because she would have had an extremely tough time getting through the brush in the dark… there’s nothing in the video to indicate she did anything other than walk off.
This is the direction I’m leaning. If it was a psychotic break, she’d be in the area and someone would have seen her. She’d end up somewhere. Most of that area is populated, so I doubt with a big search party, they wouldn’t find her body.
But from what’s been reported, she had a lot going for her. Good family, nursing school, volunteering just that morning with a local police department, babysitting for neighbors, and a job at The Summit. Granted that’s cherry picking her life, but why the hell would she need to run away? And what a really dumb plan to do so.

If she did see a kid and turned around to go back and the kid was still there for her to talk, there’s 0% chance someone else driving that road didn’t also see the kid or whatever it was. I maybe it has been reported to police, hard to say. But it would likely hit social media or the news.
Exactly, no one else reported seeing a “toddler” before her or in the 10 minutes it took her to loop around.
Also, based on the video it was getting dark and you can see how tall and overgrown the grass is right there. Seeing a “toddler” at night in tall grass driving at interstate speeds?
None of it makes any sense

An “abduction” does make less and less sense as we go along, but her making a scheme to disappear doesn’t make sense to me either. She’s a single adult with no kids. If she wanted to leave town, she could just… do it?
I think it’s equally far fetched that she was trying to hide from someone she owed money to, or a similar reason people usually jump to if someone tries to disappear themselves. Occam’s Razor usually applies to these situations, but to be honest I’m not sure what that explanation is either right now.

That’s the struggle
Either we will receive a remarkable missing piece, or I guess some sort of mental health issue would be the easiest way to explain the unexplainable .

Remember though, why she did it if she did it doesn’t have to make sense to us. It only had to make sense to her.
Btw, this entire thing can be unraveled by checking her cell records. If she looped back around, cell tower pings would show this. It would also indicate where her phone pinged when she dialed 911. If they don’t indicate she looped back around then why is she driving in the emergency lane with her flashers on? The “child” would have been behind her a considerable distance.

I'm sure the police know more than they are releasing but I bet it's not much right now
I agree they should go through the calls of that entire day leading up. Who she talked to. Who she texted. How she was that day. Etc.
I'd like to know if the items found were all right next to the car or in the woods or where.
The entire thing is wild and sad

Hoover Police say around 9:30 p.m., the Hoover 911 Center received a call from a 25-year-old woman on I-459 South near mile marker 11

Russell stopped to check on the child and called her sister-in-law around 9:36 p.m.
5 to 6 minutes between the first and second call is not a lot of time to make the loop back around assuming she immediately called police and then immediately called her SIL.
quote:
“In the process at some point she got out of the car and my daughter-in-law could hear her asking the child if they were OK.
the video doesn't indicate this. What we see is her walking around to the passenger side and opening the door where she presumably leans into the car for 10 or 15 seconds. if she was so concerned about a child on the side of the road that she took 10 minutes to loop back around and exit her vehicle, why is she immediately preoccupied with something in her car? she also doesn't appear to do what most people naturally do when it comes to encountering a child and asking if they're ok.. She never bends down to get on their level.

Based on the article, she called the cops at 9:34pm. Her sister-in-law said "she called 911 as she pulled over". She was on the phone with her sister-in-law at 9:36pm when she went silent. Her purse was in the car, but her phone and wig were on the ground near the vehicle.
The video shows her car pulling over (presumably on the phone with police). Then get out and walk to the other passenger side (presumably on the phone with sister-in-law) and the cops show up all in under 5 minutes. It's a shame the video isn't timestamped to confirm so of those times.
Would seem like an very efficient abduction to get in done in less than 4 minutes on the side of a busy highway.

I have not seen the video, but it is certain that the woman in the video is missing student?
Did she talk to her mother or just the sister in law?
She could have been killed elsewhere, earlier and this kid on the side of the road story is a pretty damn smart, yet elaborate way to muddy the waters. Has it been been determined, other than from family members, what time she left work and picked up food??
I think I’ve been watching too much Criminal Minds.

I don't know how y'all can see shite. I can make out the driver door opening and that's about it. Is my shite more blurry than y'alls or something?
All I can say after watching the video is that this one 100% was not a shark attack.

I beg to differ about everything left behind not being an indication of a struggle. Jodi Huisentruit (sp) was taken while she was on her way to work. Her belongings were outside her car' key in the door and no Jodi. It has been somewhere near 28-30 years since she disappeared. So, it does happen.
I suspect not this time, tho.

Hopefully some Bama baws can identify the mile marker where that video was taken and snap an aerial photo for those of us that don’t know the area 
I’d like to see how close that neighborhood is from “her” car.

Milepost 11.4. Neighborhood ~200-ft from road.

Its mile marker 4.2 or 4.4. You can easily find it via google maps. Just search 459 Hoover AL.
Until someone shows me evidence indicating otherwise, this girl walked off the interstate and into the adjacent neighborhood. If you were planning to snatch someone up at that spot, you could wait years without a victim presenting themselves. Even then you have two choices, stuff them in a car or drag them into a backyard. There’s no second car in the video.

Her Apple Watch and Air Pods were in her purse. So all of the items that could be used to track her were left at the car. Maybe that's what she was doing at the passenger door, putting her Apple Watch in her purse?
I wonder if they brought in tracking dogs to pick up her trail? That might have been their best bet to find her quickly.

Without evidence of a struggle, it makes sense that she ditched her hat and wig. She left the phone on purpose. She made sure (at some point) her watch and AirPods (both of which could locate her) were in her purse.
Of the two the AirPods make more sense being left in purse unless she normally used them to make phone calls (even if car has hands free some keep an AirPod in ear for phone calls). The watch being left in purse is stranger, but that could depend on whether she wore it at work. She could have just forgotten to put it back on that night when leaving work to go home.
Maybe there has been some updates, but usually by now a local news would be reporting that the various aspects of what she told her family when leaving for work have been verified. Food in car, talked to restaurant or confirmed charges for food, and other stuff including whether it might be strange or not at all that AirPods and watch left in purse.
After seeing video I don’t know what the trucker saw. Unless verified he may have been looking at different spot he might be want to be questioned further.
Calling the police is the one thing that still makes me think it’s possible someone did something to her, but I guess that could also be a way to convince family she didn’t run off or to play victim when she decides to return. It’s just a strange situation.

picked up food?
Wasn't one of the images early on from her going to Tzakis (however it's spelled) to pick up food for her Mom and herself? They used it to show how she looked that night.

this is the photo the family released to show what she was wearing when she went missing, and it appears to show her wearing the apple watch...

They posted a pic without her extensions or wig. Probably should have done this sooner based on wig being left behind.
