Carlee Russell admits disappearance was a hoax
- 9 months ago
Carlee Russell, the Alabama woman whose disappearance earlier this month sparked a two-day search, admitted Monday that the entire incident was a hoax.
"There was no kidnapping on Thursday, July 13th, 2023. My client did not see a baby on the side of the road," her lawyer said in a statement read by police. "My client apologizes for her actions to this community."
Prosecutors are expected to meet on Tuesday to decide whether Russell will face criminal charges.
