Alabama police said on Monday that Carlee Russell confirmed she did not see a toddler on the side of the road, nor was she kidnapped.
Russell gained national attention when reports surfaced that she was abducted in an elaborate story that included trying to help a child on the side of a highway and being captured multiple times. Russell called police and reported seeing a child walking alone on Interstate 459 in Alabama. The Hoover Police Department played the conversation she had with the dispatcher when she called 911.
Russell claimed a man forced her into an 18-wheeler. She claimed she was able to escape before being captured again and taken to a house where she was blindfolded and forced to get undressed.
