"We have no reason to believe that there is a threat to public safety related to this particular case," said Nick Derzis, chief of police in Hoover, Alabama, the city of over 90,000 residents just outside of Birmingham where Carlethia “Carlee” Russell disappeared.
"We want to know the truth," he said.
Derzis said at a news conference Wednesday afternoon that other than a brief initial interview with police after she returned Saturday night, Russell has not agreed to answer police questions. Police are still hoping to talk to her further, Derzis said.
Russell made a number of internet searches on her phone and computer at work that are "very relevant" to her disappearance, Derzis said, including a movie about an abduction and questions about Amber Alerts.
