Carlee Russell calls 911, telling the operator that she sees a toddler walking down the side of an Alabama freeway.\\xa0

When police arrive, there\'s no toddler and\\xa0 Russell is gone. Her car, however, is still parked along the highway. The door is open and the car is running. Forty-nine hours later, Russell returns home, telling investigators in a brief interview that she was abducted by a man with orange hair and a woman.\\xa0\\xa0

As the investigation continued, police find some \\u201creally strange\\u201d internet searches in the hours before she vanished, such as the cutoff age for an AMBER Alert.\\xa0\\xa0

Now Russell admits via a statement from her lawyer that there was no toddler or abduction.\\xa0
