US (Washington Insider Magazine) – Crime enthusiasts have taken to TikTok to discuss missing person Carlee Russell — a young lady who has quickly captured the hearts and minds of the CrimeTok community. Here’s what you need to know about case updates and the story of her disappearance.
How Did Carlee Russell Disappear?
Carlee Russell was noted by 911 dispatchers to have called in last week on Thursday evening — reporting an uncommon sight. A toddler had been spotted off the side of the freeway with no accompanying adult, which tripped Russell’s suspicions.
After making the call, she never returned home, causing her family to question what had happened to the young woman.
Less than 48 hours later, Carlee was back at home with no explanation and no one else with her — further concerning family members who were already uncertain about her mental and physical health at this point.
What Happened After Carlee Russell Came Home?
After Carlee came home, her family drove her to the hospital for a formal evaluation. Due to the uncertain context surrounding the experience, information was shared with members of the police force. However, no public information has been made available regarding her health or what really happened the night that Carlee disappeared from public view.
Carlee Russell returned home on Sunday, July 16th, 2023.
Digging Into Details: The Timeline & Happenings Of The Carlee Russell Disappearance
Beyond the call to 911, officials found that one other phone call had been made on Carlee’s phone — and it was to her brother’s girlfriend. During the call, it was reported that Carlee likely walked up to the lost toddler and was heard screaming as the line disconnected. This prompted further concern about Russell’s possible condition.
Police did arrive after the call, and only found Carlee’s empty car. The phone had been abandoned on the road, as well as her personal affects. The child that Carlee had reported and the man that had been reported to be near Carlee’s vehicle were never found.
We will continue to update Carlee Russell as more details of the case emerge. It is our hope that Carlee is doing well after the ordeal.
