Carlee Russell is reportedly out of a job as scrutiny mounts
surrounding her alleged kidnapping. According to The New York
Post, she was fired from the Woodhouse Spa in Birmingham,
Alabama, on Friday (July 21 ).
Owner Stuart Rome spoke exclusively with the outlet about the
turmoil his staff experienced when the story of her
disappearance broke last week. “It was really devastating for
them thinking a co-worker was abducted,” he said. “The following
day, Saturday, it was the busiest day of the week, and they had
to plug along and work and, in the off times, pass out flyers
and other things.”
The 25-year-old nursing student was at the center of a massive
search effort after she mysteriously vanished from an interstate
on July 13. Russell had called 911 from I-495 after she claimed
to have seen a toddler walking along the roadway in Hoover. She
allegedly then phoned a family member to tell them about the
situation when she suddenly disappeared. Officers who arrived at
the scene found no traces of her, but her car, phone, and other
personal belongings were located.
She had been missing for 49 hours when she resurfaced at her
parents’ home on July 15. She was taken to UAB Hospital for an
evaluation, but little more about her alleged abduction was
known until a police conference. On July 19, police said they
were unable to find any proof of the lone toddler and were
unable to corroborate other details about her alleged encounter
with kidnappers.
They also claimed that she had questionable searches about
kidnappings and stealing money from a register. A separate
report from The Daily Mail claims that Russell was also observed
on the spa’s security camera stealing a dark robe and toilet
paper hours before she was reported missing.
“As the information came out, there were some questionable
things,” said Rome. He noted that many of Russell’s former
colleagues were angered by the entire ordeal and negative
attention that business has received in the aftermath. “We’ve
been a little pissed off, mainly because so many people took so
much time out to search,” he said. Russell’s parents publicly
supported their daughter’s claim that she was kidnapped and had
to fight for her life. However, Russell has yet to issue a
public statement of her own.
