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

Opinion is that embezzlement is false but swiping a bunch of cash to pay for this escapade is true

If true... could be the chicken or the egg...

Did she steal the money to fund this planned escapade, or did she fabricate this kidnapping because she knew that her employer found out that she stole?

Carlee Russell Investigation Continues

The investigation into the Carlee Russell case continues as detectives are working to determine what happened from the time prior to her 911 call Thursday night until she returned home on foot Saturday night. Detectives spoke to Carlee very briefly upon her return home and are waiting for her to be made available to obtain a more detailed statement about the sequence of events during that timeframe. While we are not in a position to reveal all of the information we have gathered at this point, we can talk about some details that we have not previously discussed.
- After leaving The Colonnade, Carlee went to Target on Highway 280 and purchased some snack food type items. These items were not located in the vehicle or with her cell phone and wig at the scene of her disappearance.
- The Hoover Police Department has not located any evidence of a toddler walking down the interstate, nor did we receive any additional calls about a toddler walking down the interstate, despite numerous vehicles passing through that area as depicted by the traffic camera surveillance video.
- Detectives have obtained surveillance video from Carlee’s neighborhood which shows her walking down the sidewalk alone prior to her arrival at her residence. Fire department radio traffic obtained by several media outlets shows that medics were dispatched to her residence on an “unresponsive but breathing” person. That was the term used in the initial dispatch of the Hoover Fire Department to the residence, and the information about her condition was simply a dispatcher relaying information from what a 911 caller told the emergency communicator. When first responders arrived on scene, they found Ms. Russell conscious and speaking and she was transported in that condition. She was later treated and released from a local hospital.
- Numerous evidentiary items are still being evaluated, and those items are key in the process of determining exactly what took place in the approximately 49 hours Carlee was missing, but also what took place prior to her disappearance.
This release contains all of the information the Hoover Police Department is able to provide at this time. We understand that there are numerous rumors and misinformation making the rounds in both social media and traditional media. While we understand the public interest in this incident, we must maintain the integrity of the case, thus we are limited in what information or statements we can release or confirm at this time. The Hoover Police Department will hold a press conference tomorrow, at which time we will be able to release additional information. The press conference will take place at the Frank and Pam Barefield Training Center, located at 850 Municipal Drive Hoover, AL at 2:30 P.M. central time.

"traditional media". I bet that Today Show interview is full of falsehoods!

Doesn't sound like we're going to get as much information as we would like to have. If this is going to keep going on until she speaks with them again, it may never end.

This is a perfect example of why HIPAA is a stupid law. This woman deserves scorn from everyone, not just the unfortunate people who had to "treat" her.

Because shes a perp, not a victim

It certainly looks that way.

If they are unable to speak with her, they will arrest any family members that publicly told a lie to cover for her. Once mom is arrested, her little ditchpig will become reluctantly talkative. Then, the screws tighten.

Nothing will be done, we are past the point of punishment. I hope I am wrong but this is clearly going to be treated in a delicate manner because thats how we handle stuff these days. We allow small factions to do what they want with little to no repercussion.

LE continuing this only creates far more trouble down the road. Curtailing all the nonsense over the years wouldve done wonders but we missed that window. We are not headed down a great path.
