Timeline: The disappearance of Carlethia 'Carlee' Nichole Russell

HOOVER, Ala. (TND) — The 25-year old woman from Alabama who gained national attention when she went missing, after she reportedly stopped to check on a child along a highway, has been back home for nearly a week.

What remains unclear, is what happened during the 49 hours that Carlee Russell was gone.

Up to this point, the only time police have spoken with Russell was the day she returned home on July 15. with an injury to her lip, a tear in her shirt and $107 in cash in her sock. Russell claimed she was kidnapped by a man and held against her will before escaping her alleged abductor, in a second attempt.
