An Alabama woman’s boyfriend claims she was kidnapped after going missing while helping a child on the highway. She returned two days later.

Carlee Russell returned home on foot after a two-day search. She called 911 about a toddler on Interstate 459 in Alabama. Her boyfriend, Thomar Latrell Simmons, claimed on Facebook that his girlfriend was kidnapped and fought for her life for 48 hours after going missing.

Carlethia “Carlee” Nichole Russell, 25, showed up at her home on Saturday night – two days after she disappeared, leaving her car, phone and purse on the side of Interstate 494, police say. There’s no word on what had happened to Russell or where she was during her two-day absence.

He said his girlfriend is not currently stable enough to talk about her ordeal or share photos of the alleged kidnapper. Hoover police received a 911 call about a toddler. When they arrived, they found the caller’s vehicle and Russell’s belongings, but not her or the child’s.

Police say she called a family member who lost contact with her while the phone line was still open. A witness saw a gray vehicle and a man near Ms. Russell’s car, according to Hoover police. Russell’s family claims a toddler was used as “bait” to lure and kidnap her.
