Carlee Russell vanished for 49 hours after calling 911 to report a child walking alone along I-459. The Hoover Police Department says after reviewing the case of Russell’s disappearance, they have been “unable to verify” Russell’s statements to police.
after calling 911 and a family member to report a child walking alone along I-459. While on the phone with her family member, police said she screamed and was no longer responding. The family member called police, who arrived on the scene to find her car and her wig, cell phone and purse nearby, as well as an Apple Watch.
In Wednesday's press conference, however, Derzis said that authorities haven't been able to confirm details of her story, and that no other phone calls were placed that night to report a child walking along the highway — nor had there been any reports of a missing child. "I’m not saying it couldn’t happen," Derzis said."But six football fields ... to think that a toddler, barefoot that could be 3 or 4 years old, he's going to travel six football fields without getting in the roadway, without crying ... It's very it's just very hard for me to understand."
“There were other searches on Carlee’s phone that appeared to shed some light on her mindset, but out of respect to her privacy, we will not be releasing the content of those searches at this time,” Derzis said. Derzis added that he'd spoken to Russell's parents ahead of Wednesday's press conference and they"believe in what their daughter's saying."
