New information has come to light in the confounding case of Carlethia “Carlee” Nichole Russell. The Alabama woman mysteriously disappeared for nearly 49 hours last week after reporting a lone toddler by the highway. Authorities are now saying that they have been unable to corroborate most of Russell’s initial claims.
Police Update on Nichole Russell’s Case
During a press conference, Hoover Police Chief Nick Derzis underscored the ongoing nature of the investigation, and insisted there is no imminent danger to the community. He refuted any evidence of a missing child and reiterated that Russell needs to be interviewed further, despite having briefly spoken to her once.
Contrarily, Russell’s mother, Talitha Robinson-Russell, firmly believes that her daughter was abducted before reappearing home on foot two days later. She stated her faith in the detectives investigating her daughter’s alleged abductor, a scenario drawn from Nichole Russell’s narrative.
