Where is Carlee Russell — every news outlet should be sharing this story like the missing people from the submarine voyage.

Who is Carlee Russell?

Prior to her disappearance, Carlethia “Carlee” Russell was a sweet, normal college student who was on her way home from getting something to eat when she pulled over to help a toddler walking alone on Interstate 459 South in Hoover, Alabama at approximately 9:45 pm. She called 911 to report the unaccompanied child and then she called a family member as she got out of the car to help the child. The family member says they heard her talking to the child. Then, they say they heard a faint scream and the sound of vehicles driving away.

The family quickly called the police where they found Carlee’s car and personal items, but she nor the child could be found. Luckily, there was an eyewitness, a truck driver, who said he saw a gray car parked in front of her car, but no further details have been released.

Carlee’s disappearance is alarming and highly suspicious. Many people are speculating that the child may have been used to lure her into a dangerous human trafficking trap or something more sinister. Either way, the family is hoping and praying that Carlee will return and someone will come forward with answers.

Carlee’s parents have had a press conference asking the public to help and her brother has released a video on Tik Tok asking the public to spread the word.

Here is her official missing person announcement from Twitter.

There is a $25,000 reward for her safe return — people with information are asked to call 205–401–3365.
