Arr, methinks this Carlee Russell be spoutin' nought but fanciful tales, matey! A former FBI swashbuckler reckons her claim o' bein' shanghaied aboard an 18-wheeler be naught but a tale spun by her own imagination, arrr!
Carlee Russell's claim of being forced into an 18-wheeler sounds completely made up, according to a former FBI agent. Russell, who initially went missing after placing a 911 call about a toddler walking along the interstate, returned home two days later. Police found no evidence of a toddler on the highway. In an interview, Russell claimed that a man with orange hair forced her into a car and she ended up in the trailer of an 18-wheeler. She said she was able to escape briefly but was captured again and taken to a house where she was forced to undress. However, she insisted that there was no sexual contact. The next day, she woke up and was given cheese crackers by a woman before being put back into a vehicle. Detectives noticed a small injury on her lip and she claimed that her head was hurting. Russell had $107 in her sock when she was interviewed. Former FBI Special Agent Jonathan Gilliam expressed doubts about Russell's claims, particularly questioning why her alleged abductors would worry about leaving marks on her wrists. Surveillance video showed Russell walking before returning home, and data from her Life 360 app showed that she traveled 600 yards during the 911 call. It was also discovered that Russell had taken items from her employer before disappearing. Police concluded that there was no evidence to support Russell's claims.
