Carlee Russell ADMITS It Was a HOAX!
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
I was squealing in Bucharest, Romania, when news broke and I realized that I was not here to film an episode that Carly Russell, the story, fell apart even further and she finally admitted that the entire thing was made up, which obviously, if you have been watching this show, I am a Nancy Grace.
We have been hounding this narrative.
We knew that it was fictitious at the very moment that she showed up at her parents' doorstep with $107 in her sock and a busted lip.
Who dropped her off? We don't know.
So let's first cut to the press conference, the Hoover Police Department press conference, which revealed to us that, yes, in fact, it was all a grand hoax.
Take a listen. There was no kidnapping on Thursday, July 13, 2023.
My client did not see a baby on the side of the road.
My client did not leave the Hoover area when she was identified as a missing person.
My client did not have any help in this incident, but this was a single act done by herself.
My client was not with anyone or any hotel with anyone from the time she was missing.
My client apologizes for her actions to this community, the volunteers who were searching for her, to the Hoover Police Department and other agencies as well, as to her friends and family.
We ask for your prayers for Carly as she addresses her issues and attempts to move forward, understanding that she made a mistake in this matter.
Carly, again, ask for your forgiveness and prayers.
Now to be clear, you are hearing from the police chief, the Hoover Police Department
chief there, and he is reading a statement that came from Carly Russell's lawyers.
And I just want to say, that police chief is the sharpest dressed police chief possibly
in the history of America.
He deserves a daytime Emmy.
I mean, look at the suits that he has been wearing.
I just don't want that to be missed in all of this.
There's a lot of craziness going on.
But that man in his suits, unbelievably sharp, and by the way, he should probably win a fashion
award.
Look at what he wore at the previous press conference, just to show you.
Remember, he stepped out in that magenta suit.
Take a look at him.
He looks wonderful.
Unbelievable.
I love this guy.
He is a hero.
But back to Carly Russell.
Now the thing that left me on the floor as I was in Bucharest, Romania, in a hotel room,
was her mugshot.
Her mugshot.
Carly Russell made the decision to grin in her mugshot.
She came done up for her mugshot, and feeling in the mental state to smile.
So let's just take a look at her mugshot right here.
Unbelievable.
She looks unbelievably happy.
And I don't know what this is.
Maybe it's a legal strategy.
I am thinking maybe her lawyer is saying to her, we might be able to plead temporary insanity from your bad breakup.
You were so upset. The rumors are that her boyfriend cheated on her with the stripper.
She indicated thus in previous tweets.
And they had some DMs between her and the stripper where Carly Russell was telling the stripper, That she was poor, calling the stripper poor and saying, I'm rich, I'm pretty, you're ugly.
You know, Carly Russell really went out to the stripper.
So maybe she was so in love with this guy that it caused temporary insanity and she decided to stage her own abduction and snatch her own wig.
And maybe her lawyer is consulting her and saying, you know what, just go ahead and smile.
Just smile in the mugshot because then we're going to be able to show how insane you are because what person in their right mind would smile in the mugshot After so many police forces, the FBI got involved in this.
The Secret Service got involved in this.
Your parents, your ex-boyfriend, your entire community got involved in this, as did the entire nation.
We were all being reprimanded.
You talk about this story, or you are condemned, and you are a racist.
What person, what self-respecting individual...
What morally sound individual would then choose to step in for their mugshot and to smile as if to signal that they do not care at all.
Ha ha I just want to make sure it's a good picture. You would say an insane person
So I'm thinking that might be her strategy now for those of you who are thinking that she should have been hit with
harder charges Yes
They got her with two misdemeanors for lying to police because she lied to the police about the toddler and then
she gave them that ridiculous Story about the person with red hair in the forest that
took her with some woman. You are wrong. What's going to happen here?
I always said from the beginning that it was going to be light charges against her because all she actually did was lie to the local police and she only gave one concrete, I guess you could say the 911 call was the most concrete statement.
They were giving her time to come down and take an official statement from her regarding the man that lived in the forest.
So I knew that they were not going to get her.
People are comparing this to Sherry Papini or Sherry Papino, whatever her name was, who got abducted and they're saying, why did she get federal charges?
Well, because Sherry Papini actually lied to federal officers, so it's instantly a federal
charge when you lie to a federal officer.
She did not do this.
She just lied to her local police, and then she refused to come in and make a formal statement
lying to them.
So she's going to get away with this.
That's the truth.
You have to accept that.
It's ridiculous.
It's a national hoax.
Aside from being a national hoax, it's also a race hoax.
If the shoe was on the other foot, and there have been instances of this, but if a white
woman faked her own abduction and then said, a big black man in the forest did this to
me, and he played with my hair and fed me Cheez-Its or cheese on crackers.
There would be so much outrage.
There would be marches in the street.
You would just be hearing from Black Lives Matter for days to come about why did she, when she created this in her head, why did she create a black person?
Because they want people to think that black people are all criminals.
Well, in this scenario...
She specifically wanted to paint a picture of a white man.
That's the only reason why she said he had orange hair.
I mean, I don't know many black people that have orange hair.
And yet there's no outrage there because obviously when black people do the same things that white people do, it's totally permissible.
But if a white person does it, it's totally racism and we should all be taken to the streets.
Now, the reason why I'm saying that this is a non-conclusion to this case is because I cannot sleep, I cannot eat, I cannot rest.
Until I know what the heck this young woman was doing for the 49 hours that she was missing.
We don't know. We don't know. There's no answer here.
I need answers. I can't sleep.
You need answers. We all need answers.
I promise you we will find these answers.
49 hours. So what we know is that this girl who's obviously a brat got out of her Mercedes, snatched her own wig, threw it on the floor, left her purse, left her wallet.
And somebody on Twitter showed that there was actually a little tunnel, a little tunnel underpass right where she got off, which is where she probably escaped under.
But where was she for nine hours?
I'm not going to accept that all she had was Slim Jim's, Cheez-Its, and a bathrobe that she stole from work.
And she just stayed in the forest.
I don't buy that at all. I think she was with somebody and she's trying to run cover for them, which is why her lawyer made the statement that there was nobody else involved.
I think there very much was somebody else involved.
And the bigger question is who dropped her off at her mom's house?
Because we know that she didn't walk all that distance from that highway to her mother's house.
Carly Ross does not look particularly athletic to me.
I think that somebody picked her up, was with her for that four-an-hour period, and somebody dropped her off.
And they should do the police work and determine who exactly that person was.
Now, are there going to be charges pressed against that person?
No. But there are people like me who cannot let this go.
So we need to understand exactly what happened so that we can close this case finally.
Signing off, Nancy Grace, Candace Owens.
Alright, if you like this video, you're going to like the full episode even better.
