\\nWhen 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
