Police are also giving some new details on the investigation, including the fact that they're unable to verify the details surrounding Russell's supposed abduction.
From Huffington Post:
Evidence does not support many details of Carlee Russell and her family’s account of her disappearance on July 13, Hoover, Alabama, authorities said in a news conference Wednesday.
Russell has refused police requests for a follow-up interview.
In retracing her steps the day she disappeared, Derzis said that surveillance footage from her employer showed that Russell “concealed” a dark-colored bathrobe, toilet paper and other items belonging to the business before she left work. She then bought snacks from Target, none of which were found in or near her car.
The police chief also read internet searches “relevant to this case,” he said were made on Russell’s cellphone in the days leading up to her disappearance, including questions about Amber alerts, “how to take money from a register without being caught,” “Birmingham bus station,” and the movie “Taken,” which Derzis noted is a “film about an abduction.” She also allegedly searched for a one-way bus ticket from Birmingham to Nashville departing on the day she disappeared.
Derzis said that investigators discovered other searches on Russell’s phone “that appeared to shed some light on her mindset” but would not be sharing them publicly “out of respect for her privacy.”
Several law enforcement agencies had worked with the Hoover Police Department in the search for Russell, including the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, the FBI and the U.S. Marshals.
Looks like things are getting tight for Carlee and her family.
Sooner or later, whether she's ready or not, the truth is bound to spill out.
