Police have been unable to confirm whether there was a child on the highway. “Carlee’s 911 call remains the only timely report of a child on the interstate,” Hoover police said in a statement.

At 10:44 p.m. local time Saturday, the Hoover Police Department’s 911 center received a call saying Carlethia “Carlee” Nichole Russell had returned home on foot, according to police.

Hoover Fire Department medics checked on Russell before taking her to UAB Hospital for evaluation, Hoover police said. She was later released.

  1. This woman and her family owe us NOTHING. People wanted her dead so they’d have a “conspiracy” to talk about for the next three years. I am SO happy she is alive. That’s all anyone should care about at this point.

  2. This story of a toddler is a fabrication.
    There is no toddler.
    Just Silverback lies.
    The truth will be exposed, and you can bet her bananas, coconuts, and welfare card she is hiding something.

  3. Dark-skinned Black woman lied, won't be charged, won't be held accountable. White girl Chloe Stein got arrested and has to pay police back for faking kidnapping. Jussie Smollett was dragged for years.

  4. I wonder when the police questions her again this week, she'll described her kidnappers as 2 hispanic mexican ladies. 🤔

  5. If this threat was real, why did the country and police stop looking for the child ?🤷🏾‍♂️ carlee is home . Great. But now we don’t care about the child anymore ??

  6. Another Smollett case? More rating and social media attention? They will find out the true.

  7. this is just another Tuesday afternoon for some women

  8. A few years ago, I lived in Hoover at Ashby at Ross Bridge Apartments. I used that same exact exit every day. I was driving home one night when some guy in a mustang started slowing wayyy down in front of me. I wasn’t sure what he was doing, but I didn’t stop. I floored it and passed him….. and then he followed me home. Right in my apartment parking lot. And he just sat there at the end, headlights on my car. I stayed in my car and called my roommate — and when she walked outside, he slowly pulled behind a building & out of sight. We ran inside and called the cops. From our upstairs window we could see him drive down the dead end street, so the Hoover cops went looking for his car and gave him a warning.
    But after that, he kept coming back to our complex. He’d park outside our building. Use the car vacuums. Pace around. Whatever. For hours and hours. But when I called the cops and also the apartment office, he told them ‘a friend in the apartment had invited him’….. So… they just let him keep doing it because he hadn’t committed a crime.
    I was only 25, 115 lbs, living with another girl… and this guy knew my car and my building…. And would just hang out outside. I will never forgot how I felt that second time the Hoover cops came, and all they did was pal around with him in the parking lot and admire his mustang. I was afraid for my safety and the Hoover good ole boys could not have cared less.
    In summary, I wouldn’t trust a single thing that comes out of that police department unless the Russell family states it themselves.
