#Alabama #Missing #Crime
She’s been kidnapped by traffickers how did she fall for that the baby walking on the intersection lonely lady getting out of her car little tactics
I feel that she is not alive anymore 😢.
Prayers for this beautiful woman ♥️
UPDATE: she’s been found alive and safe! 🙏❤️
New York Times: The woman, Carlee Russell, showed up at her family’s front door on Saturday night, knocked and was greeted by her stunned relatives, said Nicholas Derzis, the police chief in Hoover, a suburb of Birmingham. He said he was not sure how Ms. Russell got there, but nobody was with her when she arrived. She was taken to a hospital for evaluation.
She blac media she won’t matter next week
Black olives matter 🥗
I feel lik the child was used as bait to grab the woman….according to a lot of experts it’s a tactic traffickers r using I hope they find her soon 😢
She dead the money ain’t enough..
Drove on shoulder 4 long time(no kid seen) stopped at the closest place to houses(planned stop) 911 call,wig,screams,left belongings(she had to really sell it) pull up satellite view and see…sad.
*BREAKING NEWS :*
An hour ago , police confirmed she is alive. Apparently she was dropped off at her home and has been sent to a hospital for an evaluation.
Too early to say but there is more to this story . There is speculation that this was a mental health incident and she was off her meds. There is also speculation that she was sexually assaulted. No one knows for sure until the police or her family release more concrete details.
I hear this young woman has been found GLORY TO GOD Let that baby and all children be safe in JESUS NAME FATHER GOD
Maybe it’s alien abduction
This story gave me chills. I saw a toddler wandering down the street alone many years ago. I stopped my car, took her hand and knocked on doors until her parents claimed her. I didn’t even consider the dangers but I’m not sure I would do that now. I hope Carlee is found by some miracle
You can still do that. There was never a bait child used in this case.
This is Faith❤! She knows that she is alive, and now she has been found. Amen. God is so good.
I said it was fishy from the beginning and hate that I may be right about that, but glad she returned home.
Hopefully they can find her alive
Praying 🙏🏻 for this beautiful girl and her family 😢😢
Good samaritan wanted to help a child. Poor lady.
They don’t go out of their way like that for a WHITE WOMEN!!!
Gabby petito..??
Sherri papini, laci Peterson, caylee and Casey Anthony, jean bene Ramsey, Elizabeth smart, Natalee Holloway, Kristen smart, Lauren spierer, Anne Marie Fahey….
@DannyTréHeaux facts
Put the pipe down or get out from under that rock because what kind of delusional world you living in 💀
Wishing and hoping for a positive outcome. Hope she comes home safely. Praying
They found her alive Thank god 🙏
She came home she at the hospital
Aaaaaaaaaand she faked it….. go figure. Next we will hear an even more crazy story of some wild abduction followed by the truth, then an apology about how she was just trying to shed light on missing POCs….. I’m
Psychic!!
She got found.
TV too High
You stop to help and this is the thanks that you get in return. Thinking twice the next time someone flagged me down to help them out.
i pray She will be returned safely
She’s home now ❤
Update she was found!
Yep I knew it… I know that she was found dead ☠️ every time a person goes missing that person is always found dead inside a trash bag.
When an evil person put a toddler out as bait, how do they know a single lady will stop?
Praying for your baby girl ❤️❤️
God I hope she’s found safe
So sorry to hear that😢😢😢😢
Praise God she was found alive.
Most likely someone who knows her maybe someone she turned down on a date or was stalking her. But either way hopefully she is found safe and is reunited with her loved ones.
She was found
I know she was found but I hope she wasn’t traumatized. Such a stunning young woman.
Blacks and brown people need to be receiving this amount of coverage all the time. God is worthy to be praised and he hears our prayers ❤
She represented ALL of us who would’ve stopped for a lost child.
Can’t be a good Samaritan anymore. Don’t stop for any reason.
Let’s pray she’ll be back home❤
Can’t believe this evil person
She is home. No details so far. I don’t trust the story as far as I can throw it.
Racist report against whites.
She’s gone, she’s black in Alabama, do the math.
Bro is still living in the early 1900s
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
*SHES BEEN FOUND BY THE WAY*
*RAN OFF DUE TO HER OWN PARANOID DELUSIONS*
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Actually new news reports say she is home safe now but no there details as of that or what happened.
Placing all bets here all bets that the kidnapper wasn’t white get your bets put in now! 😂
I just dont understand if she was missing where was
She was already found and went to the hospital
If there’s video of that highway then there’s video of whoever put that baby there
She’s been found alive. So happy to hear the good news this morning. 💞
🇨🇲 🇨🇮 🇲🇱 As we reflect on this miracle, we also pray for comfort and healing for Carlee Russell and her family. 💜✝️🙏🏾
In Heat?
CRACK ATTACK?
Her family sounds like morons after the fact. She lied… she should be investigated
I have chills going down my spine. I hope she’s OK please God bring her home.
They use a toddler to kidnapped this woman check into trunks at every intersection every toll she needs to be found
Sounds like a trap. I hope she’s alive, but I’m doubtful. The lack of a child being missing means someone used their kid as bait. The perpetrator has likely done this before. Could be a serial killer.
Anyone else see a pattern here? 99.9% of serial killers are men? and 99% of are white males.
These parents need to wake up and keep their eyes on their kids 24/7.
What a blessing they found Carlee Russell. But I just found out that it’s another woman missing Calvinette Dixon , but she is in Then a teen girl named: Hunter Ray Martin. Montgomery, AL.(Around the same time).
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
The whole state should be up in arms. This is disgusting that we are allowing this to happen in our communities without floods of people responding. They’ll burn down cities when a drug addict gets killed, but it’s all just hopes and prayers when an innocent woman gets abducted off the streets for trying to be a decent, concerned citizen.
Twitter literally just had a short of a guy encountering toddler on the street and not getting out to help. People were so high and mighty to attack them.I’m sorry but this story just makes me not want to help anyone ever again.
Shes lying
They need to check night clubs, casinos cux you all got played…….
No kidnapping…no missing kid…police are not looking for any suspects. This was a hoax.
SMH IM SRRY BUT IM NOT BUYING THE STORY I BELIEVE IT’S MENTAL ILLNESS THERE HOW SHE SEE A CHILD NO ONE ELSE SEEN ETC.
This is absolutely a tragedy. EVERY MILE OF AMERICAN HIGHWAYS NEED TO BE MONITIRED WITH CAMERAS FOR NOW ON‼️‼️‼️
They found her
Glad she safe but something is off bout this story
This was a setup..someone had that child out there waiting for someone to pull over and help..
Fake News
Any update? 😢 wow so heartbreaking!!! Prayers for her to make it home safe and sound
All these BS reactive freak out comments and national news story while she was home the whole time. Gaslighting click bait at its finest.
This Situation Doesn’t Make Sense ,She has been found Still Doesn’t make sense glad she’s ok.
Maybe she didn’t see a child but saw an alien. Maybe that is why she has no memory after being found. The aliens erased her memory.
PRAYERS……
Praying for her🙏🏾
DISGUSTING FRAUDULENT LIES. HOPE EVERYONE INVOLVED IS CHARGED.
People WILL BELIEVE ANYTHING THEY HEAR. SHEEPLE.
UPDATE: WOMAN HAS RETURNED HOME SAFE 🙏🏽
Im calling BS
Mary M was once lost, but now she has risen to life. Waiting for her twin flame to be Resurrected with her.
☯️🔥💦
Missing.
Search all local Klan members homes for clues
I don’t believe this story at all. Can’t wait to see the camera footage
She’s been found already.
Late to the party NBC! Carlee is back home.
More then 20 different media sites reporting fake news to keep the sheep’s attention off the Biden’s administration corruption
With all this technology today people could find you in 5 minutes… But she was missing for 48 hours. Where was she at?😢 She probably met someone on those stupid dating sites and then made up this story so she could get laid for two days.
No, she was hiding herself. She was never in danger.
That girl is FOS!. This has Jussie Smollett written all over it🤣. She’s just too embarrassed to admit that she was rolling off hallucinogens and ran off into the bushes then who knows where else until she came down and walked home 😆😅💯.
Im going thru the same with my daughter Vickie Diaz in Gresham oregon
Tawana Brawley
This is so sad it makes me wonder if this is human trafficking. Pray and believe that God will keep them from being taken out of country.There is power in prayer.
No, she was lying. This is why we don’t believe these people. Jesse smollete 2.0
Juice Smolliet twin!!!!
Father in heaven send your guardian angels to to the rescue bring them answers that will give you glory of your awesome wonders of answered prayers in Jesus name I pray amen.
Something is fishy about this story!🤔
😂😂😂😂😂 another grift for donations 😂😂😂😂
These people who do this need locked up in a mental institution
The fact she googled if someone would be financially charged for an Ambert Alert prior to disappearing clearly shows she had intent and this was not a psychotic break/mental health crisis….let alone a kidnapping! She should be charged for this Jussie Smollett style hoax and be ordered to pay restitution.
Missing b!tch ain’t missing she’s a fake and should be arrested.
It looks like this was a hoax people. Frickin Jussie Smollett 2.0.
All this shows is that there is not nearly enough supply of actual oppression and “systemic racism” . . . to meet the demand of these Victimhood Olympians.
Yall in this comment section need a wealthy african prince in your life. All he needs is 1000 dollars to free his money after all.😂😂😂😂yall will fall for anything huh.
Is she in jail for lying because that story is not true. But why would a beautiful black woman make up a story like that.
