A 25-year-old woman who called 911 to report a toddler walking along the side of a busy Alabama highway vanished along with any indications of a child on Thursday evening (13 July), just south of Birmingham.
Carlethia “Carlee” Nichole Russell called 911 shortly after 9:30 p.m. to report the toddler along Interstate 459 South in Hoover, Alabama, near Mile Market 11. Russell contacted a family member to report her discovery after stopping to assist the young child.
