<p>Political commentator and television personality Candace Owens is sending an offer Carlee Russell&#8217;s way. As <a href="https://twitter.com/Gglenn86/status/1714209196986585261" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Shade Room</a> previously reported, Rusell has been charged with &#8220;false reporting to law enforcement&#8221; and &#8220;falsely reporting an incident.&#8221; The charges follow Russell calling authorities on July 13 to report seeing &#8220;a toddler&#8230; on the side&#8221; of I-459 in Alabama. Soon thereafter, Russell staged her own 48-hour disappearance.</p>
<p>Ultimately, a judge recently determined that Russell will pay $1,662 to satisfy her criminal charges. Additionally, the 26-year-old is ordered to fulfill a restitution amount of $17,874. Furthermore, it remains to be seen whether Russell will be sentenced to serve up to a year in jail.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Candace Owen&#8217;s Message To Carlee Russell</h3>
<p>Candace Owens published a video segment of one of her <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/philly-activists-murder-takes-a-dark-turn/id1556687660?i=1000631133806" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recent podcast episodes</a> on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6DTBoeo6yc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">YouTube</a> Friday. During the segment, Owens explained that she often wonders, <strong>&#8220;Where was Carlee Russell during those 48 hours she went missing?&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>After Owens recapped the incident for viewers, she firmly stated that <strong>&#8220;America deserves answers.&#8221; </strong></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Where was Carlee Russell for those 48 hours that she was missing?&#8230;&#8221; Owens asked. &#8220;Where was she? We still don&#8217;t know, and that&#8217;s why I think about it every single day.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>As the segment continued, Owens added that if Russell serves time in prison, she will be on the &#8220;visitor log.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I will be seeing her daily — I&#8217;ll probably, at least, see her once a week because I feel attached to the story. I feel attached to Carlee,&#8221; Owens explained.</p></blockquote>
<p>Then, Owens shared a message for Russell and a generous offer.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Carlee, I want you to know that if they put you behind bars for one year, I&#8217;m going to visit you, and I&#8217;m going to bring you things,&#8221; Owens continued. &#8220;&#8230;Because I need to talk to you, I need to understand where you were for 48 hours — I will give you <em>anything</em>! Please, come on this show — we are <em>begging</em>!&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Owens then stated that she &#8220;will pay the $18,000 fine&#8221; if Russell exclusively reveals to her where she was for her 48 hours missing.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I mean that! Take it to the bank, Carlee Russell! 18K in your bank account — just talk to me, on this show, about where the heck you were for 48 hours,&#8221; Owens continued. &#8220;America deserves to know!&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">A Brief Recap Of Carlee Russell&#8217;s 48-Hour Hoax Disappearance</h3>
<p>As <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/alabama-authorities-search-missing-woman-carlethia-carlee-nichole-russell/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Shade Room</a> previously reported, after Russell reported seeing a toddler along the interstate on July 13, she also phoned a relative to &#8220;report the same details.&#8221; However, during the phone call, the relative reportedly heard Russell scream and &#8220;lost contact&#8221; with her.</p>
<p>When the Hoover Police Department arrived on the scene, they reportedly found Russell&#8217;s car and &#8220;some of her belongings.&#8221; However, authorities were unable to locate her or the alleged missing child.</p>
<p><amp-instagram data-shortcode="Curyl3Zr7RA" layout="responsive" width="600" height="600" data-captioned></amp-instagram></p>
<p>Then, on July 15, Russell reportedly returned on foot to her family&#8217;s home. At the time, it was reported that Russell was &#8220;immediately transported&#8221; to UAB Hospital. The woman was reportedly evaluated, treated, and released.</p>
<p>At the time, Russell&#8217;s then-boyfriend also denied involved in her disappearance.</p>

<p>Later that month, Russell&#8217;s parents seemed to reiterate her abduction during an interview with <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/parents-alabama-woman-went-missing-48-hours-express-relief-return-rcna94728#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC News</a>, per <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/watch-carlee-russells-parents-speak-out-first-time-since-her-return/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Shade Room</a>.</p>
<p><amp-instagram data-shortcode="Cu12szMtrSq" layout="responsive" width="600" height="600" data-captioned></amp-instagram></p>
<p>However, soon after, the Hoover Police Department seemed to shatter the public&#8217;s belief in Russell&#8217;s alleged abduction after releasing her 911 call and Google search history.</p>
<p>The length of Russell&#8217;s call showed that she would have been following the toddler for about &#8220;the length of six football fields.&#8221;</p>
<p><amp-instagram data-shortcode="Cu5DSvFrzOv" layout="responsive" width="600" height="600" data-captioned></amp-instagram></p>
<p>Additionally, Russell&#8217;s search history revealed she looked up the 2008 movie &#8220;Taken&#8221; and searched “how to take money from a register without being caught.&#8221;</p>
<p><amp-instagram data-shortcode="Cu5Dx22ygvw" layout="responsive" width="600" height="600" data-captioned></amp-instagram></p>

<p>According to investigators, Russell alleged that she had been taken into the woods by a man with orange hair and placed in an 18-wheeler. During her alleged time there, Russell explained that a woman was also present. However, she never saw the woman and only heard her voice.</p>
<p><amp-instagram data-shortcode="Cu5G33pRare" layout="responsive" width="600" height="600" data-captioned></amp-instagram></p>
