Authorities in Alabama have uncovered no evidence of the mysterious toddler Carlee Russell described in a 911 call before her brief disappearance.
“The Hoover Police Department has not located any evidence of a toddler walking down the interstate, nor did we receive any additional calls about a toddler walking down the interstate, despite numerous vehicles passing through that area as depicted by the traffic camera surveillance video,” the press release sent out Tuesday night.
Russell, a nursing student, vanished from the side of I-495 in Birmingham Thursday night after calling 911 to report a child walking alone along the side of the road. After speaking with dispatchers, Russell phoned her sister-in-law and reiterated what she saw, telling her she was pulling over to help the unaccompanied child.
