Carlee Russell Arrested On Charges Of Making A False Police Report, Released On Bond
As Blavity previously reported, Russell called 911 as she was driving on the highway and said there’s a toddler walking alone. However, it turned out that there wasn’t any child on the road. Russell disappeared immediately after making the call. Her disappearance became a national story as people around the country organized massive search efforts.
Two days after her disappearance, the Alabama woman returned home on her own, saying she escaped from kidnappers. In a statement to police on Monday, attorney Emory Anthony said his client admits that she made up the whole story.
“My client did not leave the Hoover area when she was identified as a missing person. My client did not have any help in this incident, but this was a single act done by herself,’’ Anthony wrote according to AL.com. “My client was not with anyone or at any hotel during the time she was missing,’’
