Alabama Hoaxer Who Claimed She Was Kidnapped by a Man with Orange Hair Found Guilty

Judge Recommends Year in Jail, $18,000 Fine.

GP:

In July Alabama police announced charges against hoaxer Carlee Russell for lying about being kidnapped by a man with orange hair and taken away in an 18-wheeler.

On July 13, Carlee Russell vanished after she called 911 to report she saw a stranded toddler walking on the side of a highway.

Russell’s abrupt disappearance led to a nationwide effort to find the 25-year-old nursing student.

Carlee Russell suddenly reappeared after going missing for 49 hours.

Police were suspicious of her kidnapping story after they were unable to determine where Russell was during those 49 hours after she made the 911 call.

Russell initially told police she was forced into an 18-wheeler truck where she was taken to a residence and told to undress.

She then told police that the man and woman had taken nude photos of her.

Internet searches revealed Carlee Russell was likely lying to investigators. more

    I kinda feel bad for her contrasting her stupidity with the wanton looters across the nation committing grand larceny, racial assault, and murder while walking out scott free.

    Almost kinda…
