Carlee Russell’s Ex-boyfriend Condemns ‘Disgusting’ Kidnapping Hoax

“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,” the statement continued.

“We ask for your prayers for Carlee as she addresses her issues and attempts to move forward, understanding that she made a mistake in this matter,” Russell’s attorney concluded. “Carlee, again, asks for your forgiveness and prayers.”

It is currently unclear whether Russell will face charges for her staged kidnapping, although Hoover investigators are reportedly considering the possibility.
