Friday marks one week since authorities filed charges against an Alabama woman who admitted she lied about being kidnapped.
The potential fallout from the case is causing concerns for some Coast victim advocates and law enforcers.The world watched on as volunteers and law enforcement combed through Hoover, Ala. searching for 25-year-old Carlee Russell after a panicked 911 call from the interstate. After that call, Russell was nowhere to be found. Drones were deployed and K-9 units were on the hunt along with numerous detectives and investigators searching for the young woman and a child. All searches turned up empty.
“We were very concerned,” said Lori Massey with Crime Stoppers. “It sounded like a legitimate kidnapping.Through her attorney last week, Russell admitted to never being kidnapped. She was chatrged with two misdemeanors days later for filing a false police report. “Initially, the thoughts that went through my head were the amount of time wasted, resources, the amount of money spent,” said Langfitt. “I can tell you if we had a missing person in our agency here, I can tell you every agency in Harrison County would be coming to help us.”
