This Carlee Russell case is something or the other, and I am not sure exactly what it is. The basic summary is that she went missing after calling 911 (and her brother’s girlfriend) from a freeway in Alabama, saying she saw a toddler walking alone on the side of the freeway. Then there was a scream and silence. Toddlers don’t often walk alone on the side of freeways, so it was surprising that no one else on the road called that into 911. Then she re-emerged, walking solo down a street to her parents’ house. She said she was abducted by a man and a woman, and the woman stroked her hair and fed her cheese crackers (ha), but they didn’t have sex with her and they let her go. Odd. Then, as with every case these days, we found out about some of her questionable Google searches.

Good summary here:
