Carlee Russell UPDATE - She has since admitted through her attorney that she was not kidnapped, she did not see a baby on the side of the road, and she did not have contact or help from anyone while she was "missing." She apologized through her attorney - to the community, police, her family, and all those that helped in the search for her.
She got so much attention and it all went to waste😔meanwhile others could just wish they got this much attention
Wow. was there a reason why she did this released?
ty for the update steph!!
I can’t imagine how her parents are feeling right now
say sike rn...
As a black woman, and as someone who lives 5 minutes away from where she “disappeared,” I am grateful that you covered this case. It has left my city disgusted with her and her family. I was personally afraid to drive alone at night for the past couple of days, and finding out that she faked everything makes me sick. It will make future cases difficult…
I don't think it's been proven that she faked her disappearance. It's just one of the theories
@@asdfghjklmao unfortunately it has, look at a recent conference with the Hoover Police Department. Her ex boyfriend has filed restraining orders against her and her family. She also booked her hotel room 4 days prior to her disappearance which is where she would later be “found”
@@asdfghjklmao she was also ordering snacks and stuff using a card under another woman’s name. New info is coming out daily ):
@alana4831 wow thanks for the info, I didn't know. I hope she gets punished to the fullest extent of the law. What she did is so disgusting and heartless
I think as long as they hold her accountable, and others who pulls these stunts or anything serious. It shouldn’t hurt other cases that are real.
I truly hope this case doesnt make people discard womens disappearances, especially that of POC women who barely get coverage as is!! Please keep fighting for every woman
make no mistake, only reason this got coverage is cuz it's Hoover
I honestly think the only creditably messed up is her's...
@@theartfu1d0dgerwhat's Hoover?
@@dominiquejenkins5495???
also justice, eg the case of Lauren Smith-Fields that is shady at best, yet the police doesn't want to do their work
My sister was abducted from our home and let me tell you 35 years later I’m still traumatized. This girl has no
Idea how she has unearthed so many peoples buried emotions that have experienced real abduction. Shame on her
I’m so sorry
I'm so sorry ur sister got qbducted
I'm sorry you went through all that. I was abducted from my home too, 13 years ago when I was 14. I had to go through a lot of therapy yet I'm still dealing with the PTSD.
@@dannnnielaI’m so sorry that happened to you this world is so evil
I'm so sorry that your family has gone through this. May I ask what her name is? Maybe we internet sleuths can help find something
I feel soooo bad for Angela Harris, I can’t even imagine losing my daughter , then putting in effort to find someone else’s daughter , just to find out she lied about being abducted. That is a HUGE slap to the face let alone that woman’s heart who could have only only wished her daughter would have been found alive. I really held hope until I heard about her Google search history,then I felt angry,betrayed,taken advantage of emotionally. She needs charged , she wasted ppls time ,resources,and ppls money to “find”her, let alone the ppl who worried and prayed for her. Just sick that this was even thought of,let alone done….. 😢
The crazy part is she miscarried from the stress from helping on the case.
Wait Angela Harris was pregnant and lost her baby?!
I sincerely believe that people who do this deserve to be charged with some type of crime and they owe the government of their Community the money that was spent on looking for them. I don't believe they deserve jail time I believe they should be forced to have therapy and they should serve community service. The community service should be in a situation where they either serve at a battered women's shelter or for a homeless shelter so they can realize how good their life was. Same as Papini she had a great life!
No, OMG! I don't even know what to say. My heart just broke.
I research her and my heart broke again.
So many people were affected by this and the worst thing we do not ha e clarity. Al all.
Angela Harris. One brave, caring woman.
I dont usually want charges in cases like this as much as I want restitution, but this time I hope she faces, or pleads to, some kind of charges that prevent her from continuing her nursing career.
Had we seen evidence of a mental break from which she could recover - fine. Mental Health will get your ass and make you do some weird ass shit. She, however, acted with intent days in advance. This suggests some things about her ethics that is not congruent with caring for patients.
This case infuriates me!!! As a black woman my community knows and talks about the amount of black girls and women missing who are ignored, dismissed, & not taken seriously. It is sickening to know that she faked this and has contributed to making things hard for girls and women who are actually missing! I think she should be mentally evaluated, especially for romanticizing a kidnapping and she deserves jail time for sure. Lastly, congratulations on your wedding🎉!!
The same thing was done by jussie smoliet. You guys must stop playing the race card and crying the victim all the time. That is what gives rise to this kind of insanity. White man with orange hair- the same old drama.
Yep. And she just admitted she made it all up.
They weren’t looking for her they was looking for the white baby she claimed she saw lol
THIS ):
"mentally evaluated" is the fancy way of saying "No accountability"
For those curious, she has admitted she lied about seeing a baby and being kidnapped. She has currently been charged with 2 misdemeanors of false reporting to law enforcement and falsely reporting an incident
Why did she do it tho i still dont understand that
Thanks for the info btw
@@elliottbenningtonwatch vid
Clout.
@@Enigmata23 no way
I really like the fact that her fiance sits with her throughout the whole time she's explaining to us the case .
Husband*
Same! He asks very good questions
@@meandeanlean2355 yes ! Indeed it hppnd so fst I still keep calling him her fiance 😂. Thanks fr the correction.
Yeah I love that also that there is a another person asking questions and commenting on what she was saying about the whole story
Oooh I was wondering who the guy was that I've been hearing in the background 🤣
Congratulations Stephanie on your wedding and this case was so sickening.
I agree! Total waste of time and resources on a spoiled brat chic that go too much attention as a child. To the point where she felt it was ok to do this as an adult. Like no one's forcing her to take responsibility of what she did wrong. Unrel!
@@freya2820 oh okay according to ur logic a person's skin color detects how they act and behave?? gurrll byeee
@@yohaannaa00 that part!
@@freya2820 I remember there was a case like this but a white woman she pretended to get kidnapped and came back w bruises that she made her self she's in jail her husband had been worried asffffff skin don't matter its the people who do it
idk why they may think its okay
@@freya2820bruh why is skin color even here when talking about her she’s a person who did something questionable and people are calling her out , it has nothing to do with her skin
so sad that out of the rare times that authorities jump on missing persons cases, this time was a waste. what a terrible human.
I AGREE!
This case makes me especially emotional because it makes me think of my friend Tonee Turner from Pittsburgh who went missing. She’s been missing since December 30, 2019…. Still no answers. Her family is hurting and it brings me to tears along with everyone else as we have no idea what happened to her, where she is or if she’s ok. Please say a prayer for Tonee…🤍
I'm sorry to hear about your friend, and I really hope one day you find Tonee ❤ even if it's bad news, I hope one day you get some closure and can start to heal
Praying you find Tonee ❤💞🥺
Prayers for Tonee 💙
Can you post all the details here please? Maybe some of us can try to do some digging.
Praying for your friend, her family and you 🙏
Im currently facing homelessness right now, and the idea that someone would purposely fuck up a stable life like this is beyond comprehension.
I hope you are okay ❤ I can understand the struggle of being homelessness. Sending you prayers 🙏
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR WEDDING!! you had a whole wedding and you’re still here with a video!❤️❤️
🎉🎉❤ so happy for you both 🎉💕🎉 congratulations .💫
Thank you!
@@tv-21?? What?

WOW ITS A GOD SEND. WHAT A BLESSING. LETS PRAISE HER EVEN MORE
Thank you for including a more realistic view of what trafficking actually looks like! It makes me so angry when those fake stories get spread around because it makes trafficking into a boogeyman story instead of a very real, very prominent global crime. The weird guy in Target is probably safer than the guy you met on Tinder.
Yes because it seem like daylight....
So glad to see someone in the comments saying this. The vast majority of trafficking victims are trafficked by people they know. Traffickers build relationships with their victims in order to coerce them or convince them to do it. Kidnapped victims are too much of a hassle to manipulate.
@@KateKanenatorTHIS!
@@KateKanenator In america? Yes, that is more often the case. There are many other countries where that's also not the case. Should we just stop alerting people to possible risk just because the risk is smaller in America?
@@mausiwernerActually, among others including Polaris, the CTDC, and the UN Office of Drugs and Crime, all agree that even internationally people are most likely to be trafficked by someone they know.
YOU ARE THE BEST STORY TELLER THAT I HAVE FOUND ON THE INTERNET. YOURE VERY SMART, DETAILED, WELL VERSED, EDUCATED, ONFORMED, CONFIDENT, INSIGHTFUL, AND MUCH MUCH MORE. YOURE VERY FLUENT IN YOUR SPEECH AND HAVE AN EXCELLENT MEMORY. YOU DO YOU JOB 110%.
bro spammed adjectives 💀
I agree
@@cazh666😂
Why are you yelling
And you, my friend are sort of a weirdo sorry not sorry
please cover the Manipur rape case if possible!
this episode made me discover anger I never knew I even had. Imagine having your daughter missing for years, supporting another family whose daughter is also missing, and then finding out the girl was lying for attention. its sickening.
Yes
Let’s appreciate for a minute, how much work she puts into her video.
Yeah she did a really good job, with this ...
This Carlee is a despicable liar, and her mom is horrible great big enabler.
Yes, you can tell Stephanie really does her research. She is very knowledgeable about the cases.
Yes,I'm new and have listened to approx 5 times and I've been impressed how thorough she is,I knew I could count on her for a complete organized story of what ALL has happened thus far with this case. 👍🩷
She is insanely smart, sensitive, and articulate
It’s the fact that it’s a brand new case and she literally got married a few days ago 😮 this is why she is my fav you tuber xx
Girl, you are a machine. I have no idea how you research and implement so many stories in a week.
Edit: Yall, I know she has a team of researchers. I was just appreciating the number of videos she has been releasing.
She has a team of researchers
@@thyger0167 she and her team work very hard to feed us🔥
And get married!
@@darleneschmidt4572 shes married already
@@Mercypalmershe got married recently, its on her main channel. do your research.
HOLY CRAP! Zip tie on the car door as you walk out of Target literally happened to my niece this evening. She was safe, and police responded appropriately. Turns out it was a local homeless man who did it for kicks. Stay safe.💛
my heart dropped reading this... is she okay now?
Since she admitted to faking the whole thing she needs to be charged and do some jail time.
It's so unfortunate that this was all apparently made up by Carlee, I do commend the authorities for getting on her case right away (so often you hear the "they're a runaway/ they're an adult and it's legal for them to go missing if they choose to/ wait a few days and see if they come back") and her community for pulling out all the stops in searching for her and I hope all of this doesn't discourage them or anyone watching from helping a person in need/that's gone missing in the future.
Unfortunately police don't take full action in most cases here in Alabama. A few days prior to this case a baby "went missing" when actually the car just rolled into some trees and plants. Had the police searching for a few hours. Police here are also completely hands full with shootings down in downtown Bham. It's awful down here and even though hoover is supposed to be "safer", night is still a place for people to shoot others. Hopefully the police take future cases serious, but it gets difficult with constant fake calls.
lil bit of an update, her boyfriend has deleted all trace of her from his socials and even deleted his statement about her “fighting for her life” within those 49 hours. it seems like he’s not seeing her anymore and most likely doesn’t believe her.
That’s so terrifying, the baby thing …. Just the other day I heard a baby girl yelling “stop” and crying in my new apartments and immediately opened the door to check on her. Thank God it wasn’t a trap. It was just my neighbor refusing to get out of the car because she wanted her dad to carry her inside (which I now ignore because she does this often)… Watching your videos keep me safe because now I’m so careful. And now I have a 360 camera so I’m never looking outside of the door.
She faked it! That’s literally the worst thing you could do. The fact they got together so fast, and there is so many actual missing people that don’t get that quickness, is sickening.
The only true crime channel I'll ever watch. You are amazing. The empathy in your voice makes everyone feel for the victims. ❤❤❤
I love these video, they are like my lifeline in depressing parts of my life, they also motivate me to keep my house clean, so love y'all ❤️❤️❤️
I would like but I don’t want to mess up the perfect 333 likes ( sorry )
@@kl0wn_wh0re HAHAHA I also like cleaning while listening to TH-cam stories
She's not a victim.. she's jst pyscho
she's the only true crime channel that manages to make me ball my eyes out for the victims
I love how you tell stories and help people understand different povs instead of judging
😢ii tu
54:57 Thank you for shouting out Ms. Rivers! Her work is not called out enough.
And she's right. Whatever happened, Carlee is our sister, and we are glad she's home and safe.
She needs to be charged criminally and pay restitution fines for wasting times and resources!!!
I'm SO frustrated about this case. Being a Black woman it feels awful because I thought if I saw I child, I would stop too! Now I feel that I better be careful because if i actually DO get kidnapped they'd all think I was faking it. Black women and girls really DO get kidnapped all the time and now many may get ignored because of her.
They already do get ignored, this won’t effect it
@@GwenDoll right like what? if one person's behavior destroys basic empathy and concern for an entire race, like millions of black ppl, then they never cared in the first place.
@@GwenDoll Yeah, that's true... I suppose I'm just frustrated that THIS is the story out of all of them that gets publicized.
That's a very ignorant comment honestly. this has nothing to do with being black. Excuses, excuses, AND MORE EXCUSES. That's like if I said " I'm going to get kidnapped because I'm white." Hmm sounds dumb , right?
@@GwenDollshe faked it..get some actaul knowledge on the case.
I notice on every Podcast your fiance is also present. Very nice and supportive of him . I've not seen any other female podcasters husbands, bf or fiance's doing such a thing. You are so lucky to have such a supportive man by your side..👍
he also in her other channels just not on camera
They recently got married!☺️🙌🏽
i love how it feels like he is sitting down with us to hear the tea and talk the case out too.
He is the one who always ... "Ooohhh,, " "whaaatt"."wow".. "no wayy"😅
This makes me really hate social media, people will do anything for content and it’s sad. It’s serious when someone goes missing, I feel for everyone involved when they were trying to help someone who didn’t even need help.
living in birmingham and about 20 mins from where Carlee was "abducted" in hoover had me so scared and for all this to be a lie it hurt's because as a black woman we never get this much attention! Thank you for covering this!
I'm not sure you know what the definition of "never" is.
living near the area I was genuinely worried for her. now with everything that's come out I hope this don't take away from actual victims. it's already hard for cases to be taken seriously here.
same..... im from oxford and i was stressin
I just can't imagine why anyone would lie about something like this; it's heartbreaking to even think about, much less have someone apparently actually do it. The evidence against Carlee is strong, though. It does look like she made it up. Like you, I hope this case doesn't negatively affect other cases where people actually go missing and need police assistance for real. 😞
Your content and storytelling is the only one I can listen to even on my worst ADHD days. So much love to you both!! ❤❤
literally sameeee
Yah. There is this TH-camr who makes 2 hours long videos, cries while she describes a victim as an Angel and then btw she was arrested for something, but she only did it because that ex boyfriend cheated on her. And btw the things I omitted before to make you think it goes in different direction, well now I will tell the truth. It made me so mad to waste so much time so she can lie or omit facts to make videos like Lifetime movies (on cable) who claims “it base on true events” but adds so much drama to it that didn’t happened at all, so their gullible viewers will watch them.
I agree.
Right? So much detail I can listen to her without getting distracted
Same!
I had a situation where I called the police and explained it. They transferred me to the trafficking hotline because it sound very much like something they would do. I had to explain every last detail. She confirmed this is probably what was happening. I was very lucky. the lady on the phone also told me in most cases they will try to get you to come to them so they don’t get caught. In other words they wouldn’t come to you like in this case.
I want to say congratulations to your wedding. I've watched a few videos since I realized y'all had it. I love how you guys work together in your videos, and I have used my husband as inspiration many times when I work. Cherish each other, I've been "married" for almost 13 years now and it is something you have to work at everyday with each other. I am so happy for you and wish you many many many more year to come! (We are common-law married that's why I stated it in quotations, but we are married as far as we care)
Why the quote marks for marriage (edit: I mean married)?
I don't mean to be rude or anything just curious. I'm not sure if there's a more appropriate how to ask. English isn't my first language
Common law maybe...❤
I’m so glad Stephanie covers more ongoing cases now!!
Congrats on your wedding.
We were supposed to be married in 2020, but covid hit, then we had a fire which burned my partner 30% of his body (full thickness) and we lost absolutely everything.
We lost everything but our lives, and that is all that matters.
I lost my mum when I was 17 and lost everything but as I said we are alive.
I hope people realise how precious life is.
Tell people you love them everyday as you never know what may happen.
I'm so happy for your blessing, Stephanie.
You've been so amazing to watch.
I wish you guys the best❤
Thoughts and prayers for healing light and comforting warmth
Wish you the best❤
Omg I’m so sorry. I was burned 10% of my body 3rd degree burns and was in the burn unit for a week and hey had cut my skin off with scissors while fully awake and could feel everything. I would not wish that on my worst enemy. Not to mention the aftercare, daily wrapping and painfully unwrapping the bandages. All I wanted to do was write to other burn victims and let them know that they’re not alone and it hurts so bad you wanna die but your skin grows back and your appearance is not a issue because you’ll be back to normal in no time. Only burn victims can understand the pain and suffering. And the trauma from candles or open flames or whatever it was that burned you. Just keep ointment on the bandages and your new skin will grow back even better than before. ❤❤❤
I'm so sorry that you had to go through all of this. I hope your days will be brighter and you'll have a happy life as ever. Wish you and your partner the best wishes
Even after the update I still have one question -- just what the hell was she doing during those 49 hours of her supposed abduction? If her abduction was self-staged and premeditated, why did she do it in the first place? There has to be a reason.
Great video as always.
I love how you included a resource for helping to find black girls and women who've gone missing or are missing justice,It shows how much you actually care unlike most in this jaded community
I was watching another women talk about this and she said " This is why no one believes us when we go missing." And that hit really hard bc especially black women aren't taken as seriously because of cases like this.
A big red flag to me is that she "left" her cell phone AND her apple watch, which seems like she didn't want to be tracked.
Tbh if I see a baby/toddler on the side of the road, I’ll run because I’ll automatically think it’s a ghost😂
The "killer using a recording of a baby crying" story is an urban legend that's been around a long time. No confirmed cases of anyone using that.
As a black woman i appreciate how this was presented. We need to do more for women of every color who go missing or unfortunately get murdered. I hope her actions are not a deterrent from that. Thank you for always being so kind and understanding to not only the victims but also the perpetrators in your videos. I am someone who has been through a lot and can often empathize with people who do bad things. I have never been a criminal but I can see how some people’s circumstances can lead them down a dark and unfortunate path because I could have easily been one of those people. I have a great support system in my mother so she keeps me grounded in reality but some people don’t have that and you never judge people’s actions too harshly which I appreciate because I truly love everyone. Most people are born good but life does sometimes to take that goodness away and you acknowledge that.
What does color have to do with it? Honestly? No disrespect I’m truly asking. My sister was abducted 35 years ago and it’s incredibly traumatizing . Color has nothing to do with it

Stephanie thank you so much for highlighting all the missing black girls and bringing awareness to that at the end of the episode. I’m truly grateful, thank you for handling every case and victim with so much care
this literally happened 30 minutes from my house & the fact that stephanie my favorite youtube is covering this i’m like omgg
I work in hoover and let me tell you the entirity of birmingham was looking for Carly. 459 was LINED with cops and search parties. Watching the press conference last week and the newest one yesterday where she admitted that she lied was INFURIATING
This case has me soooo angry. Hi Stephanie. My name is Torrie and my little sister Tayla went missing in 2018. She was held against her will eight days and nights. She was sixteen years old. The police did nothing to help find her. My family had to contact our own searches. She escaped and ran straight to the police station.
Her google searches , her parent’s behavior, everything seems so so so suspicious. I don’t think any of this ever happened. I think she faked this kidnapping. I think she wasted money and police resources and this is why in cases like my sisters, the police don’t immediately jump to help. The black community in Wilmington NC is absolutely enraged of this woman.
Now I will say I initially prayed for her return. And I’m very happy she’s home with her family but what she’s doing is wrong. She’s wrong UNLESS she literally had a mental breakdown. But something is not right.
Sorry that the system failed your sister big time. I do hope she's since recovered from her ordeal
She didn't have a mental breakdown, this was planned for quite a while and still being perpetrated by her, her boyfriend and parents to this day
@@_Y.Not_ but what motive?
@@strawberrrysi think she was just curious and wanted to see how far she could take it and get away with it
I’ve watch her attorney speak on her case today. She faked everything. I hope she’s prosecuted to the fullest extent. This is so sad.
Thank you queen! You're always working so hard for us! I can't believe how much you do for this channel and it's so appreciated!
I am a white grandfather who has 4 Asian grandchildren and my sister had a black daughter and I LOVE them so I hate when they use race saying that the police are not doing their job because she is black. All lives matter and I would want the police to be color blind in all cases.
Well statistically it happens quite a bit. And if you do love them you would understand why using phrases like “all lives matter” and “color blind” are not helpful and in fact damaging to your niece and grandchildren. You may love them but you do not understand them and what it’s like to be them in this country clearly. If you need help understanding say that but not understanding past and current race relations in this country and thinking you do bc you are related to POC is not it. 💀
This is so insane like how people can fake such a thing . She really need psychological help
Im a forensic science major at college and Stephanie you’re such an inspiration to me with your stories and how you cove these cases so well ❤❤
I'm praying for you to have the strength and peace of mind after you help solve crimes boo
That's so cool! What subjects do you study?
Gotta love an episode of Rotten Mango 🤩 congrats on the wedding! You guys deserve all the happiness coming your way. We love you!
100% would stop. I am a mom and I wouldn't be able to not help. That's so horrible to think someone would use a child for nefarious reasons but I know it happens. 😡
Thank you for pointing out that POC women barely get coverage when they go missing, and this case may make this matter of fact even more difficult.
Also, this happened literally just last week - how on earth are you fast guurl?! I'm truly amazed.
this case happened 20 minutes from my house, and it is over all one of the most insane things ever. i remember being so worried for this girl and i hope that in the future it doesn't make REAL cases become disregarded. i remember stopping at my local walmart and seeing her missing poster. i spent hours talking about it to my family and friends and it was believable because of the birmingham area. i really hope that she's held accountable and the police force will start putting in effort like this for the others who go missing in this area as well
Yes. I thought the same, I'm located about 25 minutes from where it so call happened. All this time wasted on her.. when there alot of missing kids an other that don't get this much talk about.. all this just make me mad..
I got goosebumps when I read about her disappearance. Even knowing she likely faked the whole thing- I got goosebumps again listening to you describe it. I would stop- every time. And I probably wouldn’t even think to call the police before approaching the child.
Exactly. As a mother I would have been getting to that kid so fast. It would be instinct to help a baby or child.
@@GingeRenee Something similar happened in our apartment complex. Nobody was hurt or kidnapped, but one of the local toddlers was shouting and shouting for their mom. I heard and immediately told my parents, my mom went out to check as soon as she heard. Honestly who go to check.
I love the way you deliver these stories. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for covering this so completely and so soon, as it is just bits and pieces everywhere.
Congrats on your wedding! It’s like my second parents marriage lol. Thank you for your hard work! Please stay healthy and happy forever!!
I hope she gets the help she needs regardless of what the outcome is. The police have really put work into this one and I hope they put in the same energy in future cases although this case is capable of changing ones view on similar cases. Thank you so much for taking the time to cover the case and the shout out at the end of the video
I lived about 1 & 1/2 hours from where this happened, and I moved across the country a few months ago, but let me tell you- this case got BLOWN UP. Everyone was posting her moms FB post telling us too look for her. Snap stories, Instagram, FB, literally everyone was talking about this. I swear it was the only thing I saw for those couple of days.
I've had the "wounded animal" thing to happen years ago... my mom was about to go outside but I stopped her & we called 911. They didn't find an animal, but the flower bed looked oddly trampled.
No zip ties, but I took a neighbor to Academy, when we came out both of my side mirrors were oddly pointed down to the ground. I don't use them often so we were miles away when I noticed.
When my daughter was little, I truly believe a lady tried to rob me or take my child while I was loading groceries in the car. She backed off & ran to a red truck when she saw I had a knife.
Be aware of your surroundings, drive away to safety before doing anything to your car, make extra turns if you suspect you're being followed, call the cops for odd sounds at night. One person's urban legend could be your news story.
I truly appreciate Stephanie’s and Stephiance’s hard work! To release a video a day after their amazing wedding is astonishing! I loved the wedding and I wish Mr and Mrs MangoButt an amazing future! This channel has taken me through some really dark times and I Lok forward to further videos from you guys! Sending loads of love!

Can we take a moment for Stephanie real quick, shes keeping us entertained even while on her wedding week🥹❤️
Actually, she got married back in June!
I really can’t believe she faked it. It makes me sad that this happened when real abductions happen every day. This took away from those and it shouldn’t have happened. Thank you for covering it .
I usually listen to the podcast but decided to watch visually for a change and im just fascinated how stephanie can always tell a thorough case very comprehensible each time.
I cried watching your wedding. Thank you for being here for us.
I’m so glad this is getting more coverage, thank you Stephanie 💕
She should be charged for that being abducted is not something to play about.she wasted everyone’s time and to think the police had REAL cases to focus on.
I love the way you tell stories!!! I remember this happening, but you make it so interesting and intriguing. You’re the best. ❤❤❤
The fact that Stephanie is able to pump out content even after her wedding is crazy ❤❤❤
Whaaaa she had her wedding already?!

So happy I stumbled upon her channel, love the attention to detail and her story telling is very good and easy to follow
You are so smart and articulate. Your memory is incredible too. Love the effort you put into your videos.
You think that she memorizes these videos when she makes them?
Spot on storyteller, it’s so relaxing to listen to her voice. Also congrats on your marriage. 🎉🎉😊
I love being her in the first 55 minutes or less. Thank you for making time for our dose of true crime medicine.
You're the only truecrime youtuber/podcaster I can watch without zoning out/getting unfocused. I've been following you for many years now and I will always continue to support you
Where are her older podcasts? This one only has them for 4 months

Literally 3 weeks before this situation, I seen a toddler running around naked on the street looking around and literally without hesitation I jumped out the car to help thinking he was lost. He was only lk 5 houses away from his house and his sister ended up grabbing him not even a minute later. It’s crazy because I swear I have like zero motherly instinct lol. I was just doing what I think anyone would do but I was so scared after this happened. Even though nothing happened, it made me think twice before ever doing that again. You shouldn’t have to regret helping a child in need…
Should it ever happen again, do what was done in this video (even though it turned out to be fake): call 911 and keep the child in your sight but do not approach unless instructed to by the dispatcher. When it comes to a missing child, police will be there quick.
Definitely the fact the 911 dispatch hung up with Carly is a red flag. She cut off the communication, why? If she stayed on the phone with the woman we would hear what had happened. Where is the explanation for 911 doing this?
This is from instructions of what to do when calling 911.
Stay on the line. Don't hang up until the rescue crew arrives. The operator may want to walk you through giving first-aid or CPR if necessary, or tell you if you should move to a safer location until help arrives.
If you get disconnected: If calling 911 from a cell phone, provide your wireless number so the operator can call back if the call drops.
Turned out she lied about the whole thing.
@@angelmendez2211 That doesn't actually answer anything this comment was asking.
@@KaiLucasZachary I believe they edited it recently. It was something else, but they changed it to the current question.
I’m so glad Stephanie is covering this case!!
This girl just blessed us with the most amazing wedding video and gives us an extra gift??? Take some rest if needed!!
Thank you so much Stephanie. Taking my finals right now and your videos and podcast really calms my nerves. You're a blessing.♥️ Happy married life dear.
As a young black female that lives in the same state and city it's truly heartbreaking cause she is so stupid what she did was stupid. The next day I drove past the sight where the alleged abduction happened I saw people searching on the side of the highway beside the people that weren't seen, IT WAS A HUGE waste of people's time.
I literally learned about this earlier this week! Good lord you are a hard working woman. You have how many channels and podcasts and you JUST got married and you're still giving us content! You're the best and I wish you and your husband the happiest of marriages.
She wants notoriety? She’ll have notoriety for the rest of her life in the form of humiliation. Bravo!
Those internet searches are pretty damning. I didn’t want to believe she faked it but I’m 99% certain she did now.
I was waiting for you to cover this!! I'm so happy I get to hear you talk abt it
Thank you for covering this case. Also congratulations on getting married, couldn’t watch the video without bawling my eyes out 😭
Thank you for covering all of these storys that need more coverage ♥️
I am so glad I stumbled upon your channel…..you are such a wonderful storyteller…thank you for all the research and time you put into these cases
"I don't think a kidnapper's like, 'hang on. grab your cheez-its.'" lolol the deadpan
My goodness. This story is so chilling, and I'm not gonna lie, I don't know if I'd stop. I'd like to say I would due to how much I care for people, especially children, but I'm also very cautious and a paranoid person. I appreciate you telling this story as well as many others. I've been binge watching your podcasts. I adore the way you tell these true stories. Thank you, Stephanie, and congratulations. 🫶🏻✨️
Update on this case: Carlee has admitted through her attorney that she faked the story. There was no child, no abduction and she did it herself
To quote Terry Jeffords...
"WHYYYYY???"
@@Midorikonokami to get attention/care, a psychotic break, an impulse decision due to a mood swing most likely from pre existing mental illnesses... there are many reasons, unfortunately
thanks for the update btw
I just LOVE the way you tell stories
Stephanie, I've been a true crime follower for 20 years now and you're slowly becoming my favorite true crime channel. You have a way of describing these events in which I can just imagine everything happening in real time. You are also entertaining, intelligent, and have a high emotional IQ. You have good instinct. I also appreciate how you include all the important details about each case. I notice some TH-camrs skip out on very important details. I can tell you put a lot of research and effort into these videos. Thank you and congrats on your marriage.
I'd like to make a request for you to look into the case of Darlie Routier and whether you believe she is guilty or not. She is on death row for the murder of her young sons.
the way that Stephanie is balancing 3 channels AND just got married is just amazing
CONGRATS MRS AND MR MANGO BUTT ❤
Some of those legends hold some truth. I used to work retail. We got a call from the store a few blocks down because women were coming back to their cars and had SF (single female) written on them. I don't know with what or how, but I do know the police were called to the store and they watched the parking lot for a week. I saw them when I would drive by. Whenever our store closed at night, all team members walked out together - something I so appreciate looking back.
Congratulations! What a perfect, intimate setting with the sweetest vows (nosebleed and all lol). It was so sweet! And that dress!!!! Loved it!
I just don’t understand what made her think that she could get away with it!?! She will forever be known as another Jussie Smollett. Why ruin your life this way!?!
