Russell called police after saying she saw a toddler on the highway, and then vanished. But investigators have not found any evidence of that child.

    So she sounds sketchy I GUESS but I can’t help but look at everything the police have said thus far and think “that’s kinda fuckin dumb isn’t it?”

    Like no evidence of the baby? The baby walked for 6 football fields? The fuck are you talking about dude?? She was in a car. You obviously got this information from cell towers. Just because she can continue to relay visual information about the child for 600 yards doesn’t mean the baby also traveled 600 yards.

    Unless the phone call was her being like “oh yeah that baby is walking quite a bit looks like I dunno he’s coming up on clearing 4 football fields about now”

    Ridiculous. Also I dunno dude like this whole thing is definitely bizarre but really not that bizarre?

    Like she was probably stealing from work which good more power to her. The amber alert thing from her and her friend at work is probably her looking it up snapchatting a friend about it and then the friend looking it up.

    Which tbh it seems like such a dead lead I mean amber alerts are used to find kids who are currently missing not to find the parents of those kids. Idk why it’s so hard to believe that a regular person would just not know what tf they were used for and be confused about how to proceed in this situation.

    Furthermore, I can’t really think of a situation where someone would willingly leave their car, phone, and I believe keys all on the side of the road and it be for some supposed ruse.

    Everything the police have release on this case thus far seems really fuckin lazy imo and is them stacking up the “reasons” why they won’t pursue the case any further.

    Edit: oh and I forgot to mention them continually referencing that she looked up the movie taken?? Like who the fuck cares dude what could that possibly have to do with anything?? Was she looking for inspiration on how to scream into a phone that’s been dropped on the floor? I swear they’re grasping at straws to make it seem sketchier than it is and justify them doing a shitty job on the investigation.

    Edit 2: they got the information about her moving 600 yards from an app on her phone

    Edit 3: amber alert search seemingly came two days prior with one claim of a search coming from her workplace on the day of her disappearance. I think that’s sketchy and all but I’ve also only seen that information in one place. I think at this point all we can do is stay tuned. I just really can’t imagine what benefit this would be to anyone to fake

    Edit 4: I still think police are mad incompetent, I still think the “issue” of the toddler moving 600 yards is stupid, and frankly I think expecting there to be other calls about a child is also kinda stupid given the videos and her detailing in the call that he’s hard to see. All of that being said I think I’m holding out for more details. To my mind she’s innocent till proven guilty and cops are incompetent until proven capable. I’ll edit again if anything interesting comes up
