Carlee Russell Googled the Movie ‘Taken’ Before Disappearance: Cops
Carlee Russell’s internet search history before her mysterious disappearance included terms like “how to take money from a register without being caught,” “one-way bus ticket,” and questions about Amber Alerts, including whether you had to pay for a notice to be sent out. She also searched for information about Taken, a movie about an abduction, according to the Hoover Police Department.
In a Wednesday press conference, Police Chief Nick Derzis said that Russell had also “concealed” a bathrobe and toilet paper before leaving work on the day of her alleged kidnapping. She then drove to Target, where she stocked up on Cheez-Its and granola bars, he said.
The 25-year-old nursing student spoke to relatives over the phone as she drove towards the interstate, and shortly after she made a 911 call to report that she had seen a child wandering on the side of an Alabama interstate.
