A 26-year-old nursing student in Alabama who claimed she was abducted after spotting a toddler along the interstate admitted on Monday she made up the entire story.
Carlee Russell claimed that she was kidnapped on July 13 after she stopped to check on a toddler at 9:30pm. She turned up at her parents' house 49 hours later and told police she had been abducted, spinning an elaborate story of fighting for freedom.
Yet on Monday, Hoover police chief Nick Derzis read a statement from Russell's lawyer in which she admitted she had invented the story.
'There was no kidnapping on Thursday, July 13,' he said.
'Carlee again asks for your forgiveness and prayers.'
Derzis said police are continuing to work on the case and prosecutors are still deciding if criminal charges should be filed.
There was no indication of any motive for her staging her disappearance, or any information on where she was for 49 hours. She said in the statement she was alone.

Yeh...I noticed the media promoting this.
No MAGA hats needed. It was Trump himself who swept her away.
Carlee is nothing but a self absorbed fatso narcissist. All her photos are of herself in new undersized outfits with new wigs and plenty of Miss Alabama makeup. Regardless of her deranged motives, she’s obviously a spoiled, undisciplined adult who didn’t mind keeping the police and public waiting while she partied her birthday away. Very childish and disrespectful of a worried public. Show no mercy.
What’s the story with her owning a Mercedes while in school and 25 years old?
“And this woman had a law degree.”
eeeee. I guess you learned your lesson about that type of woman.
working at a spa triggers a variety of thoughts too.
Her parents went right along with it for a while.
I noticed on news interviews, the Mom did all the talking.
The Dad kept his mouth shut and just nodded is head in agreement with her. In all fairness, his silence could have been because he was too emotionally worked up to give interviews at that point.
After all, that is his daughter. Still, they supported the lie on video, over and over.
Not sure if all the GoFundMe money has been returned to donors yet. Over $65K.
Parent’s house value $800,000.......
The donations went to Crime Stoppers, so it’s the local law enforcement that will have to return it.
This story never made sense from jump.
Is it a crime to waste investigative resources on a fake Russiagate investigation? Asking for a friend.
“Conspiracy to defraud the US government”
::she went off on a lark.....lots of people do that....::
~~~
Such a bizarre statement.
Folks, NO ONE has suggested this woman is crazy BECAUSE of her skin color. NO ONE. She's just unstable. That's it.
I pray she gets the help she needs.
Lax would hit it.
Wow
Yes.
Maybe at the moment. But you know what those puppies are gonna look like in not too many years?
Yes you do.
