Correct, as I read, they went to follow-up on a lead.

While Hoover PD has been commended for their work on this case, it seems they’re in no rush to lay charges. They must have a good reason to be treading so lightly while the SM sharks are out for blood.
So once again I‘m contemplating the possibility Carlee had initially intended to take her life by suicide and for some reason changed her mind. Better to leave her parents with the memory of a random stranger kidnapping and murdering her instead of suicide, if that indeed was her ultimate plan. Later what else to do but create a fake story….we can know creative writing isn’t in her future. JMO

WTH?!
I wonder how many news outlets now have that part muted?
*Will they attempt to do the same with the YT crime channels that covered the PC??

Maybe it was a fantasy of another kind with whoever picked her up? JMO
but they had already had the trip planned.

I am not sure, as I haven't looked around any further. But, it wouldn't surprise me now.

I'm concerned right now that somehow the crime will be swept under the rug because she is from a well-to-do family.

I don’t think that’s entirely correct. The Today Show was July 18th, two days after Carlee returned home.

It seems to be an unverified rumour that the Russell parents went to Atlanta while she was still missing, what was the reason and how anyone would know, I haven’t a clue.
If someone has a link for that Atlanta journey that’d be great.

Just why the heck not? to law enforcement, not to you.While Hoover PD has been commended for their work on this case, it seems they’re in no rush to lay charges. They must have a good reason to be treading so lightly while the SM sharks are out for blood.

Regarding a career: She could always try out for a pocket socks commercial.

If her plan was suicide, wonder why the stolen TP and robe?While Hoover PD has been commended for their work on this case, it seems they’re in no rush to lay charges. They must have a good reason to be treading so lightly while the SM sharks are out for blood.

For one, she would be held accountable for her actions which is probably totally new for her.

Carlee Russell Searched for Amber Alerts, Movie 'Taken' Before Vanishing, Police See No Evidence of Abduction
Russell mysteriously vanished for 49 hours after stopping on the highway and calling 911 about a stranded toddler she said she saw
Police using ‘every synonym for lie’ in Carlee Russell case, lawyer says
‘It’s going to be much more difficult for African American women to be believed, and it may actually decrease the number of actual reports of things,’ Eric Guster says

Interesting. The story is so outlandish. She was put in an 18 wheeler truck? Tied up, but not really because "they" didn't want to leave marks on her?
Always interested in why someone would want to create this type of drama in their lives.

It’s not muted in this one, her statement to LE begin about at the 10:30 mark. Maybe Fox didn’t get the memo? lol

Okay, after I was able to thankfully read the transcript of the presser ( Thanks @Allabouttrial and @Seattle1 ) I did some experimenting on my own. I gathered a box of Cheez-it from my pantry, and after shoving a few in my mouth 
, I studied the size and consistency of said little toasted cheese cracker. One is approximately a half inch square, with what could be considered sharp and pointy edges/corners. After exerting just the right amount of pressure ( so as not to crush the little thing) I observed that you could indeed cut your own lip with a Cheez-it. !!!!!
Mechanism of Injury solved?
Perhaps...

I just simply can't imagine this woman rolling around in the back of a tractor trailer with robe and toilet paper in hand.Carlee Russell Searched for Amber Alerts, Movie 'Taken' Before Vanishing, Police See No Evidence of Abduction
