In July 2023, a 911 call out of Hoover, Alabama stopped the country cold. A young woman reported seeing a toddler wandering alone on the side of a highway, and then she vanished.

For two days, the nation searched. Families prayed. Warnings spread. Fear took hold. Then she came back.

In this episode of Macabre Mondays, we announce the giveaway winners and walk through the case of Carlee Russell. We unpack how this story unfolded in real time, why so many people believed it, how the narrative slowly began to crack, and the lasting damage caused when fear spreads faster than truth.
