Alabama Woman Missing After Calling 911

Child used as bait?

That's really creepy!

Never get out of the car in Alabama.

That's very scary

Oh, how awful. No good deed goes unpunished.

Was it a killer or was it diabetes?

R1 That’s what I thought. They put a kid out hoping a woman would stop for help.

She's from Alabama. Why do we want to find her?

So we can help her get out.

It does sound like the child was used as bait. Or the child’s caretakers pulled up and kidnapped Carlee because they were afraid she would turn them into CPS. Or a completely unrelated predator kidnapped them both.

According to Websleuths her wig, hat, and cellphone were found near the car.

I know Websleuths is frau central but they're good at digging up info.

Sounds like she faked her kidnapping

Witnesses saw a man parked next to her so if she's faking she had help.

[quote]No good deed goes unpunished.

That's terrible, she was trying to do a good thing and got snatched by some sicko.

How did she know which numbers to enter?

She is only 25? Oh no.

Reminds me of those stories, even one or two have been told here over the years, of someone driving along and seeing a person laying on the road and stopping to help them only to discover it was a trap. In most cases, the person gets up too soon and the driver is able to get away.

I'm with the people who think she went to help the kid and someone grabbed her. If you're going to disappear, you just disappear.

The poor woman thought she was helping someone.

I hope she is found safe

Leaving a child on the side of an interstate seems risky, even for a sick person who would try to kidnap a stranger. It may be far fetched, but maybe it was a dwarf posing as a child like the ones who get adopted by pretending to be children.

Horrifying. This isn't the sort of scenario parents can prepare their daughter for. What can they say? "Don't stop and help a toddler in danger?" Poor woman.

has anyone seen the Ukrainian sex dwarf lately?

Let’s help her

Remember me, bitches?

Somebody used a toddler as bait or an adult of small stature to lure someone into a trap? Horrible and scary, especially because she was trying to help.

It could have been a baby alien.

Carlee Russell found alive

Whatever the circumstances are at this point, she’s safe that’s what important! Good job sleuths.

Thank you DL for finding her.

I knew it was serious when it was reported that among other things left behind in her car was her wig.

Pretty girl. I hope she is found safe and sound. But I suspect she returned the child to his/her awful caretakers and ….You know the rest, don’t want to even type the words.

She's been found. News reports aren't saying where she's been for 2 days but she's safe. Weird story, it sounds like she made this stuff up. Sorry I don't know how to link them, but Web Sleuths and the local news in that area have confirmed it.

She was hanging with Colby Richards.

Oh Jesus. I was coming to say she was certainly dead until I saw r28. I’ll reserve judgment on whether she was kidnapped or it was staged until more information comes out but I’m glad she wasn’t found dead.

R28 wow. This is very; I honestly thought this was going to be one of those horror stories. Also she has some beautiful natural hair. That’s not weave in the pic.

R30 😂 😆. She may wear wigs but she is all natural in r28 pics. You can tell.

Shit sorry R28, I didn't realize that you had already posted.

So where was she?

Fishy.

Now the DM has a big headline about her boyfriend saying that she WAS kidnapped, but is not in the right mental and emotional place to answer questions yet.

I am getting Sherri Papini vibes

Her boyfriend made a statement but it was mostly about himself.

Her boyfriend said he wouldn't stop until HE found her. Sounds like they wanted attention. I'm glad she's ok though. When I first read about her I was horrified about her and the toddler.

Sherri wasn't so elaborate in her planning stages. She was/is an uneducated, stay-at-home Narcissist "mom" who got caught and has an extensive background of anti-social behavior including rants on white supremacist forums, B&E to steal from her family home after her behavior got her tossed out, and shitting on a hospitalized friend because Sherri could not tolerate the spotlight taken off her..

There's tons more out there about Papini.

Comparing this woman to Papini is grossly unfair, starting with the fact she appears to be a middle class, educated professional dressed in a coat worn in medical settings. She's a lot more like us than that manipulative lazy cunt Sherri who was totally stressed and taxed out by her partial housewife/partial girl about town in Shasta County as hubby Keith labored at Best Value as the family's sole provider. Papini never worked and had her kids in daycare halftime.

The only coat Papini might wear in a medical setting is a straight jacket.

Was she turned out? Forced on the chain? Forced on the cross?

Was she turned out? Was she chained? Forced on the cross?

Any update?

Nothing that I've seen R48. Police say they are investigating but that's all I've read.

Boyfriend says she was kidnapped and fought for her life.

A UFO piloted by JFK, Jr. abducted her.

R50 I call bullshit.

Psychotic break.

The bi polar?

Thank GOD they found the wig!

Obviously a hoax. I remember some posters on Websleuths early on saying she could've had a mental break. Everybody was insisting this girl was abducted. They probably wanted attention for some reason.

If you can't explain it logically, it's definitely suspect. She had a couple days to get her story straight and now silence? Idiot.

My Friend Walter White just up and disappeared for several days. It happens.

Did she eat both takeout dinners?

Agree R50. Bullshit.

R58, that was a FUGUE STATE.

The lady’s boyfriend needs to incorporate that into his press briefings.

Sounds like a baloney story to me!

[quote]Her boyfriend said he wouldn't stop until HE found her. Sounds like they wanted attention.

If someone kidnapped someone I loved, I would probably say the same thing. I would say I wouldn’t stop until I had found them. And I would want attention. I would want all the attention in the world focus on it until they were found.

And if I were Black, I’d probably be terrified that the cops and the media would do nothing, and not take it seriously. Because they really do only report on white girls that go missing in Aruba or hiking with their boyfriends.

I would just say I had a hypoglycemic episode or something, must have hallucinated a child in the road, and then passed out. Sorry for the trouble and thanks for your concern.

Why the need for drama?

They only report on PRETTY white girls, R63. Let's be real.

Yeah we talked about this in the Ana Walshe wake R63, they report on white women because their killers are usually the much demonized white men, as soon as the killer is revealed to be black, the story is dropped. They dont want to open a can of worms by talking about who killed a black woman.

[quote]I would just say I had a hypoglycemic episode or something, must have hallucinated a child in the road, and then passed out. Sorry for the trouble and thanks for your concern.

OMG, the EXACT same thing happened to me! Minus the seeing a toddler in the road and the part where she passed out and went missing for two days and then was found and the media was all interested and I refused to comment.

I was just at work and had to piss every ten minutes and I sent my doctor a message and he was worried my blood glucose was high and told me to go to urgent care and I had a headache and was being a REAL bitch to everyone so after work I drove myself to urgent care where I expected they were going to say my blood glucose was too high, but actually it was too low and I was hypoglycemic. So they gave me a coke and sent me home.

Otherwise, exactly the same.

Law enforcement is apparently censoring 1 minute and 46 seconds of the highway video. Gray Hughes explains in the video linked below.

At least she left us with a fabulous s array of last known photos.

R68 again. Now Hughes is saying that the missing footage is "nothing nefarious" and that no one is censoring it. I don't know what to believe!

[quote]They only report on PRETTY white girls, [R63]. Let's be real.

Well. If we’re being “real” sometimes they report on the less than pretty ones, the ones that aren’t great at their talent routine, and won’t do a goddamn single vocal warm up properly like they’ve been taught. They just report on them when their mother’s are strikingly pretty.

She bought snacks beforehand that were missing in the car when it was found. That sounds super sketch.

She looks so much prettier without the pageant makeup.

As above, “The snacks Russell purchased at Target were not at the scene, police said Tuesday.” - CNN

We have the perps!

Alien abduction.

This incident Jussie Smollet-esque, i.e., made up.

Is R39 for real?

The only time I drove through Alabama, I thought to myself: “these people drive like nutjobs.” That and: “please don’t let me get pulled over but a scary Southern sheriff.”

Anyway, she’s speeding along, in the dark, and sees a very small human in the dark, and brakes SUPER hard, and pulls over… I don’t know. A bad trip does seem somewhat more likely…

“Now tell us what REALLY happened….”

DL won't let me link, but Carlee had Googled the film Taken before her disappearance, along with the maximum age for an Amber Alert. What an incredible coincidence!

R66 is a racist. The media focuses on white women because the "audience" for true crime is mostly white people who want to hear about other white people

This is a wild story! Overbearing mother. Stole from her job, fired for drug use, faking her kidnapping while hiding out at the Red Roof Inn living on Cheez-Its. Taking notes from Liam Neeson?! All to impress a man with ditched her for a hooker. I hope A24 gets the movie rights because this story has everything.

After that press conference, she is DONE.

Jussie walked so Carlee could run. I just pray that the fictional toddler hasn't come to any imaginary harm.

R80 is an asshole

GhanaCelebrities.com isn’t mincing words.

It cracks me up that she Googled the maximum age for an Amber Alert. I'm not even American and I know Amber Alerts are for kids, even though we don't have them here. She's twenty-five!

R76 But where is the racial element. You tried it.

That it was MADE UP, you imbecile! Race not implied. Fool!

R87, she claims that her kidnapper is a white man - with orange hair, no less.

“See you at work tomorrow!”

Well for her mom and dad’s sake, I am really glad she is home

Sadly she will probably make money off this hoax.

Maybe her abductor was the same redheaded man who stole Roy's wheelchair in The IT Crowd

A white guy with orange hair? These McDonalds viral ad campaigns are getting out of hand.

Did he shout, "This is Big Mac-a Country!"?

Anyway, I'm glad to see that, like Jussie's Subway sandwich, the Cheez-Its were unharmed. I guess crazy white racists have to draw the line somewhere; they refuse to harm junk food.

[quote]All to impress a man with ditched her for a hooker.

What? What did I miss?

How disappointing. Ugh 😑

r83 mentions Jussie but not Sherri Papini. Klan Granny.

Asshole at r97, search Papini within this thread and get back to us.

Her wig laid perfectly smooth and coiffed on the side of the road gave it away.

Orange hair ... with a bald spot! (Prince Harry?) (Yes, she really said there was a bald spot.)

Also, she said that one of the kidnappers (the female one who she never saw) was playing with her hair.

She also had access to Instagram and re-followed her ex-boyfriend while on the lam.

R97, I can honestly say I hadn't heard of Sherri Papini until this thread. I've Googled her now, but it wasn't a big story outside the US.

Liars get cancer.

R14 told ya !

R95

This never happened. She’s a beautiful strong, Black woman!

Black culture is bizzare to say the least

What's going on with his case? Do we have confirmation she went cray-cray?

She Jussie'd

Lana Del Rey killed her and is assuming her identity as a Waffle House waitress!

[QUOTE]Black culture is bizzare to say the least

Can you explain how this is exclusive to black culture?

Lots of white young 'un conservatives conveniently forgot Jennifer Wilbanks, the bug-eyed runaway bride who led a NATIONAL newstory of her poor, white, kidnapped ass. She cost LE MILLIONS over multiple jurisdictions stretching a couple thousand miles from Georgia to New Mexico

I didn't forget that dumb bitch R111, and I've seen her name come up a few times, along with Sherry Papini too. Not everything is fucking racial.

You guys are being too tactful, I mean insensitive!

Sheri Papini was missing for a longer time. Seems like it took a couple of years for the FBI to build the case against her. Trace the DNA on her body back to an old boyfriend. Her husband finally divorced her as she began her 18-month sentence.

This woman should be prosecuted as well.

There's a great Lifetime movie tier movie about Sherry with Jaime King (sp). It has the whole sordid story of her getting nasty with her ex and having him brand her before she runs into traffic to be rescued. Ol Carlee should have studied it and learned.

If she did fake this, why? It just seems so, so, so stupid to me.

I read that she was trying to give her boyfriend a scare, like he was about to break up with her so she wanted to worry him and bring him back.

If your kisses can’t hold the man you love, your poorly executed abduction hoax won’t bring him back.

But seriously, if her relationship was on the skids, why didn’t she just skip her birth control and become pregnant if she’s this crazy?

Or better yet, just fake being pregnant and then fake a miscarriage.

Or flirt with his friends? Less crazy, but crazy enough to work.

[quote] Ol Carlee should have studied it and learned.

Papini got busted and is now in prison. Why would you study and learn from her.

She's pretty. Maybe she thought she could become famous off the back of this.

Carlee has confirmed this was all a hoax:

Webmaster deleted the post about this 👆🏼

Boyfriend is cute and smelling cookies.

Jezehell, being them, have gone pretty easy on Carlee, but for some bizarre reason they've found a way to criticise her ex-boss:

[quote] In the mean time, Russell was fired from her job at a spa in Birmingham. Woodhouse spa owner Stuart Rome said it was “really devastating” for the staff. “The following day, Saturday, it was the busiest day of the week, and they had to plug along and work and in the off times pass out flyers and other things,” Rome told the Post.

[quote] As the information came out that there were some questionable things, we’ve been a little pissed off, mainly because so many people took so much time out to search,” Rome added.

[quote] While I have sympathy for the people having to cover for a literally missing coworker and also being stressed about not feeling like they’re doing enough to find her, Rome’s comments are the only thing that have made me laugh in this whole sad update. Thoughts and prayers up for the small business owner, the person most affected in this whole weird saga (and on the busiest day of the week!).

WTF? When did he say he was the person most affected? He didn't even talk specifically about himself, just his staff.

Yeah Jezebel are just assholes. Of course that guy is pissed, esp now in retrospect when he finds out it was all for naught. Fuck them
