As police continue to investigate the return of 25-year-old Carlee Russell, who was reported missing over the weekend, a timeline of events gives a closer look at the investigation. Police say missing Alabama woman went to Target before 911 call:
However, Hoover police have been unable to confirm whether there was a child on the highway. "Carlee’s 911 call remains the only timely report of a child on the interstate," Hoover police said in the statement.
“We have worked to retrace all of her actions from the time she left The Colonnade until she called 911 and are well on our way to completing that task,” police said. "These items were not located in the vehicle or with her cell phone and wig at the scene of her disappearance," police said in a statement sent to USA TODAY.Thursday around 9:30 p.m.: Russell calls 911 after claiming to see a child walking along the interstate
After calling 911, Russell called her brother's girlfriend to tell her about the situation. Russell stayed on the phone with the girlfriend as Russell got out of her and said she was checking on the child,“My son’s girlfriend heard her asking the child, ‘Are you OK?’ She never heard the child say anything but then she heard our daughter scream,’’ her mother, Talitha Russell, told AL.com. “From there, all you hear on her phone is background noise from the interstate.
Russell was taken to an area hospital where she was evaluated and has since been treated and released, police said.
