Do Red Roof Inns ask for ID? I have not stayed in one in probably over 20 years. Other hotels I've stayed in have asked for ID, in addition to credit card, of course.

I don't know. My husband goes to Birmingham on business all of the time and is there now. He stays right in that area but stays at Hilton's and Hampton Inn's. I honestly would think that all hotels ask for ID's and credit cards for incidentals. I'll check to see and tag back if I find out.

“She claimed that the man then picked her up and she screamed,” he said. According to the chief

RSBM. And she made sure her boyfriends sister heard the scream and then nothing but highway traffic.

Red Roof Inn requires a credit/debit card to check in, but you can use cash to check out. If she was there, someone had to use their card to get a room.

Hotels That Take Cash

Most travelers use debit or credit cards when they're traveling for a variety of reasons. Savvy travelers know they can earn travel rewards points and cash back by booking their hotel with a top travel rewards credit card. However, some people choose to use cash for their hotel room...

Think about this. Someone could have reserved a room on-line but purchased one of those VISA or Mastercard's from a store and put any fake name and address to it. All the hotel wants the card for (I believe) is any incidentals that may be charged to the room during the person's stay.

Thoughts?

Plus, I think that she had help.

I've had the bathrobe on my mind, but thought that she wouldn't want to wear the same work uniform for days, especially if she was in a hotel room or someone's house. So, maybe the bathrobe to cover up? Heck, who knows, maybe it's a really, really nice robe and she figured "why not?". What makes sense to her sure doesn't make sense to most of us, that's for sure.

I think she took the robe as a lovely parting gift to herself because she knew she wouldn’t be employed there any more. JMO

Here‘s the last known photo of her before she “ disappeared “ taken at 5:00 p.m. that day. Looks like it’s at the Spa.
Hat, wig, Apple Watch.

Haha, I'm actually being lazy because I have soooo many more links and screenshots. I did a deep dive. Reading through her SM is why I think she has MH issues.

Is this the clothing that she was wearing when walking to her parents' home 49 hours later? If not, what was she wearing? Did police collect her clothes (these and any other for evidence?)

methinks the police know a lot more than they let on in the presser.

What's in Nashville?

Nashville is a blast, especially, for young people. I don't know if she has a FB page. If she does, maybe, check there for Nashville connections. Even if she doesn't have any connections, it is so easy to meet people there.

I wonder if she took the robe as a way to leave her clothes somewhere and terrify her family a little more than she already had.

Police on Wednesday listed some "very strange" online searches that Russell made in the days leading up to her disappearance. The search queries included:

July 11, 7:30 a.m. — "Do you have to pay for an Amber alert"

July 13, 1:03 a.m. — "How to take money from a register without being caught"

July 13, 2:13 a.m. — "Birmingham bus station"

July 13, 2:35 a.m. — "One way bus ticket from Birmingham to Nashville" with a departure date of July 13

July 13, 12:10 p.m. — "The movie 'Taken'"

Before her 911 call​

Thursday, July 13, 8:20 p.m. — Russell left her workplace in Birmingham, about 10 miles from Hoover, at around 8:20 p.m. local time, Hoover police said.

Russell then ordered food from a nearby business at The Colonnade shopping mall and picked it up, police said. She stopped at a Target on Highway 280 to buy some granola bars and Cheez-Its. She stayed in the parking lot until 9:21 p.m., according to police.

Russell calls 911​

Thursday, July 13, 9:34 p.m. — Just after 9:30 p.m., Russell called 911 to report a toddler on the highway, saying she had stopped to check on the boy, police said.

How does one stay blindfolded without their hands restrained unless it’s by consent?

i spit my drink out out that one! seriously! just a blind fold! TBH , IDK what i’d do but REALLY???

Oh yes..."Oh, Carlee, one more question..." Chief says in his best Columbo voice...No wonder she is not answering!!

Ahh, here lies the issue. entitlement
She is plagued with that disease called ‘my *advertiser censored* doesn’t stink’.
My nose smelled this bs after hearing the story the first time.
Some of us have sensitive crap detectors, and smelled it from Texas!!

Just to be fair to her parents, her "daddy" tweets could actually be complete lies.
We do know she's REALLY good at telling tall tales, so maybe her daddy tweets are who she wishes he was?

I know someone who posts the most outrageous, false crap about one of her parents, and it's mind-boggling.
Just some food for thought.

I'm also recalling another tweet about wanting to pull over (while driving) because she was so tired.

She has bad insomnia and she's up at all hours. I really hope her parents have eyes on her at all times because she has depression and has mentioned suicide. I'd post the suicide tweet, but there is someone else in it and I don't know how not to embed a tweet. You can find it if you scroll thru a few tweets using this search

Well, she was driving a Mercedes Benz. So, someone was paying for that and the insurance for it!! It doesn't seem like a part-time spa job would be enough to cover it, but what do I know??!!

Ok I'm caught up. I was on a flight, itching to know.

Holy Cow !!! No words.
How the heck did she get an MA in psychology ? The stupidity is mind boggling.
Really, a toddler alien child who can run faster than Usain Bolt ??
The google searches?

I feel so bad for her parents. And Carlee comes from a good home, lovely home....lots of support and future opportunity.
wth?

I gave her the benefit of the doubt.
Never believed the child story nor the abduction.

But I was leaning to a sudden onset of something organic or psychiatric.....like what happened to my friend those years ago.

I'm so angry......
All the resources.
And deceiving her parents.

Where has it been verified she has a psychology degree? I find that rather hard to believe?
