Police release Carlee Russell’s 911 call, question her missing toddler story

Alabama police released the 911 call of the woman who said she was abducted while helping a toddler on the side of a highway, as they continued to poke holes in her story and imply she staged her own kidnapping.

Nursing student Carlethia “Carlee” Nichole Russell, 25, was heard on the call reporting that a toddler dressed in a T-shirt and diaper was walking barefoot along a busy interstate at night — and promising the emergency dispatcher she would stay on the scene until police arrived.

After she got off the phone with the 911 operator before 9:30 p.m. July 13, Russell, 25, called a relative to tell them about the supposed wandering tot.

She then mysteriously vanished, only to return home two days later, claiming that she had been abducted and held captive.

During a press conference Wednesday, officials with the Hoover Police Department said they could not confirm Russell’s account concerning the toddler — and questioned her kidnapping claims.
