Woman missing after reporting seeing a toddler on the highway

"Carlee planned to party with some friends over the weekend which included a new guy she met online. Carlee would eventually meet him on the side of the express way, ditched her vehicle as well as her belongings, got into a grey sedan with this mystery guy and ended up at the Red Roof partying with a group of people.

The Red Roof manager noticed Carlee as one of the people in the group and alerted the police. Carlee and the mystery man left the Red Roof soon after and a nearby doorbell camera spotted Carlee getting dropped off around the block from her home shortly before arriving back home. (Allegedly)

An alleged person who was with her posted a comment on a video stating that Carlee is going to state she had a mental breakdown and that she was wandering around for 2 days.

This is just what the streets are saying. Y’all think it’s true?"

This is pure speculation, isn't it?

Exactly. First she was a beautiful, young, smart, and caring person who was trafficked. Then, becuase she's alive, she's an unhinged whackjob.

We may never have answers. This isn't a movie. It's a person's life. The story was made public in order to help find her, and no one owes us a conclusion now that she's home.

This seems plausible. Obviously, there was no toddler, so she either hallucinated that or just made it up. Which is pretty messed up, so I hope she was having some kind of lapse in judgement.

It’s not “obvious” there was “no toddler”.

Uh yeah it is. Otherwise the police would still be looking for this wandering toddler. They obviously don’t believe there was a toddler wandering down the highway.

Unless you work for the Hoover police department, you’re guessing. It’s ok to admit you don’t know everything.

NP. This happens on ALL of these threads. People create these crazy narratives as if they have some special insight - mostly just to trash people. It's disgusting.

There’s no special insight being claimed. It’s just pretty obvious there was no toddler on the side of the road. Except apparently to you.

Be sure you figure it out, you online detective with no critical thinking skills.

NP. If you still think there was ever a toddler involved, you don’t get to question anyone else’s critical thinking skills.

I'm not the one speculating based on limited information.

Disgusting how some people are so quick to make up these false narratives about someone based on almost no real information.

Why all the mystery to go to a party though? Are her parents really conservative? Does she have a history of poor decision-making?

+1. If she wanted to sneak off to a party, she would park at a friend's house or a commuter lot or shopping mall. Not leave her car running on the side of the highway.

But someone should owe that community for the wasted resources if it turns out it was a scam.

Kudos to this local Alabama police department for doing the job they're paid to do, and for treating this family respectfully.

Unfortunately, that won't stop the crazies on DCUM.

DP She’s referring to the tone of this entire thread, Sherlock.

no

Ok. So has it been confirmed that she was never at the Red Roof Inn?

She can be both. That's actually important. People who have mental health crises, or make bad judgement calls in a moment of panic, or even become "unhinged" from their typical selves and go a bit whackjob from stress, and still be beautiful, young, smart, and caring people.

Something happened. That something involved her making the choice to call 911, and her leaving behind a running car (voluntarily or involuntarily), and her disappearing for days while her family was crying with grief and horror, and the resources of an entire town and county were almost completely focused on her disappearance while other people in need of help were left without it. And now she is back, and now there is absolutely no sign of urgency from the police.

It might be a psychotic break, although there are a lot of reasons we have been given that make that unlikely. It might have been a choice made under duress of some kind. It might (increasingly inexplicably) have been an actual abduction, although the lack of any pursuit or general warning about this would make that incredibly unlikely.

Whatever it was, she's now someone who was at the crux of national attention, and that will follow her name wherever she goes. Everyone in her circle of family and friends will be much more aware of the details than anyone else. And even if it was a series of bad decisions, she still will be the same beautiful, young, smart, and caring person she has always been -- she would just also be complex, like most humans.

DP. They were not police dollars that were spent on this -- they were taxpayer dollars. That doesn't mean everyone is owed a specific accounting, but it's more complicated than you imply.

Whether for fake hostage situation, mental health break, or just to get away to do something her family wouldn’t approve of, this is increasingly likely.

Occam’s razor… random toddlers running around the highway at night to serve as a lure for human trafficking is absurd. Cooking this up intentionally or because of mental health issues was the simplest explanation.

I haven't posted to this thread before. But using Occam's razor, the idea that she somehow cooked up this scheme to go do something fun is absurd. The more likely situation seemed that somehow a toddler did get on the side of the road (Could have been from a neighborhood adjacent to the highway, could have gotten out from a vehicle that was stopped for a flat tire etc.) And, especially as a nurse, she was motivated to find the child. I could see myself being in that situation. The idea that she would create this complicated scheme, involving a call to 911 and a family member, makes no sense. That may be what happened here, but this definitely did not seem like the most likely scenario.

If you’re all so upset with speculation on this thread, why do you keep clicking on it? Why are you on DCUM at all? You know this is how every DCUM thread is.
