Carlee Russell’s Parents Speak About Her ‘Trauma’
The parents of Carlee Russell, the Alabama woman who eerily disappeared last week before turning up at her home 48 hours later, spoke publicly for the first time since their daughter’s return on Tuesday—telling the Today show their daughter was abducted and left mentally and physically traumatized.
“We tried to hug as best we could, but I had to stand back because she was not in a good state,” Talitha Russell said of the moment she daughter, a 25-year-old nursing student, returned home on foot.
“So we had to stand back and let medical professionals work with her.”
