Carlethia “Carlee” Nichole Russell, the 25-year-old Alabama nursing student who told police she was abducted, admitted Monday through a statement from her lawyer that she was not kidnapped. Hoover Police Chief Nick Derzis read the statement from Russell’s attorney Emory Anthony during a news conference on Monday afternoon. “There was no kidnapping on July 13. My client did not see a baby and did not leave the Hoover area, she did not have an accomplice, she was not in a hotel or was with anyone while she was missing,” Derzis read on behalf of Russell’s lawyer.
