Missing Alabama woman Carlee Russell's lawyer shared a statement on her behalf,
in which she admitted there was no kidnapping that took place and that she never saw a child on the highway.
The 26-year-old, whose 49-hour disappearance from an Alabama highway sparked national attention, has admitted she was not actually kidnapped.
The Hoover Police Department said she initially told them she had been kidnapped when they spoke to her following her return on July 15.
However, Russell's attorney Emory Anthony provided a statement on her behalf to Hoover Police Chief Nick Derzis
that clarified her story, which he read at a July 24 press conference.
