IT WAS ALL A LIE…. The Carlee Russell kidnapping story has DOMINATED the news for days now. Today via her attorney, Carlee Russell admits that she was NEVER kidnapped and the whole PLOT was a HOAX created by HER!
Russell’s attorney, Emory Anthony, released a statement to Hoover, PD — and the police chief read it Monday during a news conference. In part, Anthony’s letter says, “My client has given me permission to make the following statement on her behalf. There was no kidnapping on Thursday, July 13th, 2023. My client did not see a baby on the side of the road.”
He continues, “My client did not leave the Hoover area when she was identified as a missing person. My client didn’t have any help, this was a single act. My client was not with anyone, or not at a hotel with anyone. My client apologizes for her actions. Ask for prayers for Carlee as she addresses her issues and attempts to move forward, ask for forgiveness.”
Russell’s attorney did not elaborate further in his remarks about a possible motive for her fabrication. He is, however, meeting with HPD alongside his client to discuss next steps.
