A 25-year-old nursing student who went missing on Thursday night after calling 911 to say she'd seen a male toddler in a diaper walking along the side of an Alabama highway has returned home, police said.
Carlethia "Carlee" Nichole Russell came back home on Saturday night. Police received a call at around 10:45 p.m. notifying them of her return. Officers and medics responded and Russell was taken to a hospital for evaluation, Hoover Police Captain Keith Czeskleba said. They also spoke with Russell and got a statement.
"The details of that statement are a part of the ongoing investigation which is expected to continue over the next few days," Hoover Police Lt. Daniel Lowe said in a Sunday press release. "During the initial portion of the investigation detectives were able to retrace nearly all of Carlee's steps until the point she went missing and are confident that will continue to be the case."
