The Controversial Tweets and Social Media Erasure of Carlee Russell

Carlee Russell, the Alabama woman who went missing after calling 911 to report a toddler walking barefoot along the highway, sent three tweets within an hour before her disappearance. Local police have been unable to verify her claim of being abducted. Russell described a harrowing situation to police upon her return, alleging she was kidnapped by a man and a woman who took her to a house, ordered her to undress, and took photographs of her. Investigators have discovered relevant internet searches on Russell's phone, including information about Amber Alerts and the movie Taken. Russell's family believes she was kidnapped, while police have cast doubt on her story.
