Crime Stories with Nancy Grace: ‘Missing’ Carlee Russell Leaves Trail of Lost TP, Cheez-It, Trail Mix, and Orange-headed Perp

Carlee Russell calls 911, telling the operator that she sees a toddler walking down the side of an Alabama freeway.

When police arrive, there’s no toddler and  Russell is gone. Her car, however,  is still parked along the highway. The door is open and the car is running. Forty hours later, Russell returns home, telling investigators in a brief interview that she was abducted by a man with orange hair and a woman.

As the investigation continued, police find some “really strange” internet searches in the hours before she vanished, such as the cutoff age for an AMBER Alert.
