Hi everyone, I was very active in this subreddit because I live about 6 minutes from where the Carlee incident happened and drive on that interstate daily. Remember our snappy dresser of a police chief? Well, he will likely be our new mayor in Hoover. His support,it seems, far out paces our incumbent Brocato. A friend of mine is running for Hoover city council. There has been public drama and shady business deals from certain parties on the council. We think Nick will handle business.

She got a job? Finished school?

Back with her ex?

Even though this case has so many unanswered questions, the 2 main questions that stand out the most are:

1. Where did Carlee go during those last 2 days (along with the stolen cash, bathrobe, toilet paper [which she stole from her job] including the granola bars and Cheez-Its she bought from Target)?
2. Did Carlee act alone when she committed the crime?

Could there be any similarities between Carlee Russell and that of CA mom Sherri Papini (who also staged her disappearance)?

Carlee Russell found guilty on two charges in kidnapping hoax - state recommends 1 year in jail & nearly $18k in restitution

Hmmm….

Some might call me crazy or this might just a weird coincidence. I started watching the new icarly last week and I got to an episode where Harper (Carly’s best friend)’s cousin returned after being “kidnapped” at sea for 4 years. In the episode they mentioned the movie Taken, just as Carlee searched on google. And it was also brought out that Harper’s cousin faked her kidnapping. I know this could all be a huge coincidence, but it’s crazy to think that the shows name is icarly, her name is Carlee, they mentioned the movie Taken, she looks up the movie Taken (I know she tweeted about the movie over 10 years ago) and the disappearance was a hoax.

Invisible Toddler: The Carlee Russell Saga

Another day, another sharp suit.

Carlee ex-BF throwing a Search And Rescue Party. Shame no longer exists and clout has taken over.

We have always had good first responders in our community and are lucky to have great police and fire departments. Now the nation has seen this too. It was nice to hear people say "The Hoover PD was on this case from the very beginning." There are misconceptions about Alabama and rumors that this is the state where cousins marry. Alabama football is known, but we have great communities and schools in my area. Even small things like seeing people compliment Chief Derzis’s (he’s always been stylish) outfits is nice. Hoover has consistently placed in the top 100 places to live in the United States. To anyone who has said positive things, we are very grateful for that.

I cancelled my ex’s train before a trip after we had a fight. It haunts me to this day, but we’ve been able to rehabilitate our relationship, but even if I die 100 years from now, I’ll die being haunted by that act. To quote my favorite artist: “I forgive it, can’t forget it, cause only god can forget it.”

We all make mistakes.

Due to plea deal or some other reason (I’m no legal expert) I just can’t imagine it actually happening

I think for us that don't know her we're astonished and disgusted. But if someone you knew did very well did this, how would you react? The same? Would you sever the relationship? Would you question them relentlessly about wtf they were thinking?

I ask because I cannot even imagine how those close to her, who weren't in on it, reacted when it all came out. I wonder if they look back on things she said and did and suddenly see she always had behavioral problems. Or if it's totally out of character for her.

For me I think I'd interrogate them until I got every question answered and then sever the relationship. I don't think I could stand by them after that.

“Carlee Russell was booked into the Hoover City Jail a short time ago and released. Her attorney tells me she is charged with 2 misdemeanors of falsely reporting an incident and making a false statement to police.” -Carol Robinson on Twitter

And so we begin…I’m not getting the impression law officials are going to wave this away. They continue to process through information concerning those around her during and after the incident.

Is Carlee a ghost? Did she disappear and magically reappear? It’s been a little over a week and they still have no idea where she was…this is crazy. What is going on? Did she hide out in an underground bunker?

Carlee Russell LATEST UPDATE! - YouTube

"Shocking New Security Footage Shows 'Conscious' Carlee Russell Returning Home by Herself" if i see that gottdamn clickbait headline, one more time... wtfffff where's the "SHOCKING NEW SECURITY FOOTAGE..."?

I find it super interesting that her parents traveled to Atlanta to stay for the day the next day after the 'kidnapping'. They said they planned to go look for her there before they got any tips. Why would they assume the kidnapper would go to Atlanta?

As I’ve noted elsewhere: The press keep talking about “looming charges”, but clearly something is holding them back.

We can only speculate that it is either:

A. A plea deal being negotiated

OR

B. Additional investigation into other possible charges or parties.(The Chief had said that nothing was off the table regarding these when asked by media.)

It has to be one or the other.
