Carlee Russell, a Hoover woman who disappeared for two days earlier this
month claiming she was kidnapped admitted to making up the story.
In a statement released by her attorney and read by Hoover Police Chief
Nick Derzis during a news conference Monday afternoon, Russell said there
was no kidnapping.
She also admitted that she never saw a toddler running along Interstate
459, moments before she disappeared.
Russell said she never left the Hoover area and had no help from anyone
during the time she was gone.
Chief Derzis said Russell had agreed to a second interview, but the police
department received the statement from her attorney instead.
Russell also offered her apologies to the public.
