Carlee Russell, missing just over 48 hours, returned home safe Saturday night.
Hoover 911 was called at approximately 10:45 p.m. after the 25-year-old nursing student returned to the Hoover home she shares with her parents.
Hoover Police Chief Nick Derzis said Russell showed up at her parents house alone. She was taken by paramedics to a hospital for evaluation.
Where Russell has been for the last two days was not immediately clear.“Additional information will be provided when it becomes available,” a police statement read.
Friends and family members remained outside UAB’s emergency room early until Saturday morning.
Police and family members previously said Russell was on her way home from work Thursday night and picking up dinner at the Colonnade when she spotted a young child on Interstate 459. Russell said she was stopping to see if she could help. Russell also reportedly called 911. She was on the phone with her brother’s girlfriend when the girlfriend reported hearing Russell scream. Next, the girlfriend only heard the noise of interstate traffic.
