On July 13th, Russell went missing after a call to the police reporting a “lost child”, and a call to a relative with the same story. Birmingham authorities then began an intense search for her “abductors” as the nation watched. After her return home 49 hours later, search teams became skeptical the alleged occurrences as more details (including phone’s search history, traffic cameras, and witness accounts) were revealed. Last night, according to a statement by her attorney, Carlee Russell finally admits that there was no kidnapping, no baby, and she that she acted alone. WATCH:
