Police confirm Carlee Russell googled “Do you have to pay for an amber alert” in her Google search history.
She returned home after 48 hours but now Hoover Police Department Chief Nicholas Derzis has described her story as “very hard to understand.”
At a shocking police conference, police have said no trace of a child was found by investigators, despite Ms Russell’s claims.
‘We have been unable to verify most of her initial statements, and we have no reason to believe there is a threat to public safety,’ Hoover Police Chief Nick Derzis said.
Carlee Russell researched the Liam Neeson movie ‘Taken’ and whether she was too old for an Amber alert before she vanished last week then reappeared two days later claiming she’d been abducted after going to help a ‘toddler’ on the side of the road.
Carlee, 25, told police she was taken by a white man with ‘orange hair’ who appeared from the trees on the side of I-459 after she saw a ‘baby boy in a diaper’ walking along the road on Thursday at around 9.30pm. She reappeared at her parents’ house on Saturday night, 49 hours after vanishing, in what her parents described as a ‘bad state’.
At a press conference today, Hoover Police revealed new evidence that points to her disappearance being a hoax.
‘We have been unable to verify most of her initial statements, and we have no reason to believe there is a threat to public safety,’ Hoover Police Chief Nick Derzis said.
Detectives stopped short of accusing her of maliciously lying, instead questioning her mental state, but said they were now struggling to believe her story.
Carlee is now refusing to be interviewed for a second time, they said, after initially giving them her elaborate abduction story.
She said the next thing she remembered was being in the trailer of an 18-wheeler, and that there was a female whose voice she heard but who she didn’t see.
‘She told detectives she could hear a baby crying, and that the male had orange hair,’ Chief Derzis said.
Carlee’s story included escaping from the pair then being recaptured.
‘She says they blindfolded her but didn’t tie her up because they didn’t want to leave compression marks,’ Chief Derzis said. Hoover PD say Before her disappearance, Carlee Russell’s search history read “taking money from a register without being caught,” “one-way bus ticket,” “Do you have to pay for an Amber Alert,” the film “Taken,” and “How to take money from a register without being caught?”
