This story has become the biggest conversation piece on social media and beyond and fortunately, it didn’t end in the tragedy that had a great many people concerned.
According to NPR, Carlee Russell disappeared last Thursday after calling 911 to report that a toddler in a diaper was alone in the middle of the road. After contacting authorities, Carlee reportedly called her brother’s girlfriend to report her shocking find. During the call, it sounded like Carlee approached the small boy, screamed, then lost all contact with the world. Police arrived on the scene they found what can only be described as a scene from an horror film. Carlee’s car, wig, cell phone, and other belongs were strewn across the road with no sign of her or the small child. No one had seen Carlee until she walked up to her parents house and knocked on the door Saturday night.
Carlee’s parents immediately called police and EMS to have her examined as she was “unresponsive but breathing” upon her arrival.

For security reasons, authorities are not sharing many details about what happened to Carlee or what she told them in her initial interview. Her parents fully believe that their daughter’s abductor is still at-large and could be looking for her or other victims.
“We celebrate with the Russell family on her safe return,” Lt. Daniel Lowe of the Hoover Police Department said in a press release.
While we are all celebrating this safe return as well, there are so many questions that are still anxiously awaiting answers. Hopefully, we get to hear some of those soon.
