However, Hoover police have been unable to confirm whether there was a child on the highway. “Carlee’s 911 call remains the only timely report of a child on the interstate,” Hoover police said in the statement.
On Tuesday, Hoover police told USA TODAY officers spoke to Russell but weren’t able to “publicly share the details” from the interview. Russell’s parents, in an appearance on NBC’s “Today” show also urged the public not to speculate about her disappearance.
