UPDATE: She's been found alive! She knocked on her family's door, alone, and was taken to a hospital. Police have not released any details about how she returned home or what happened. I am anxious to hear the rest of this story. It sounds like nothing short of a miracle.
It sounds like this poor woman was baited by a cartel member and is most likely now a victim of human trafficking along with the toddler. Members of her community are holding prayer vigils for her: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWD-vFqv6N0
I would also like to pray for Carlee's safety and ask my frens to do the same. This is absolutely horrifying and a reminder to every lady anon to be vigilant in these evil days. The world will soon wake up to the horrors happening right here in the US and all across the world.
From the article: "The search continues for a 25-year-old woman who disappeared when she pulled over on an Alabama interstate and told family members she was stopping to check on a child.
Just after 9:30 p.m., Carlethia "Carlee" Nichole Russell called 911 and then spoke to a family member, saying that she saw a child walking on the side of Interstate 459 South near Mile Market 11 in Hoover, Alabama.
FOX affiliate WBRC obtained a video of the traffic camera at the moment that Russell pulled to the side of the road. In the footage, her vehicle is seen from a distance with its hazard lights on.
Carlee's mother Talitha Russell said her daughter was on the phone with a family member when she pulled over to check on the child.
"My daughter-in-law could hear her ask if the child was OK, and the child didn't respond - at least she didn't hear her respond," Russell said. "Then she heard our daughter Carlee scream."
While the family lost contact with Carlee Russell, the line remained open.
When officers arrived at the location, they found Russell's red Mercedes still running on the side of the road. There were no signs of the woman or the child she was trying to help."
