Bola and Ola Osundario shared their reactions to the Carlee Russell kidnapping hoax during an appearance on ‘Fox News Saturday Night’.
Carlee Russell was recently found guilty of two misdemeanor charges by a judge in Alabama. This verdict came after she was discovered to have staged her own abduction back in July.
According to WBRC, Russell has been found guilty on charges of false reporting of an incident and false reporting to law enforcement, both of which are misdemeanors, by Hoover Municipal Court Judge Thomas Brad Bishop on Wednesday.
As per the state’s suggestion, the maximum sentence of one year in jail has been proposed, with a possible six-month term for each charge. Additionally, a fine of $831 and restitution of $17,974.88 has been recommended.
As per the report, there are plans to appeal the case to the circuit court.

Carlee Russell’s former boyfriend has expressed his disgust towards her for lying about being kidnapped near the Alabama interstate.
According to the Hoover Police Department, on July 13 at approximately 9:34 p.m., a 24-year-old man named Russell called 911 to report that a toddler was walking along the southbound side of Interstate 459 near Birmingham.
On the evening of July 15th, she arrived home at approximately 10:45 p.m. This is the same location where authorities reported seeing her walking along the sidewalk earlier.
According to a statement made by Russell through her attorney, Emery Anthony, to the Hoover Police Department, she acknowledged that she had never witnessed a baby on Interstate 459.
On Wednesday, October 11, 2023, Carlee Russell’s lawyer, Emory Anthony, left the Hoover Municipal Court after his client was convicted for charges related to her false abduction claim in July. This information was reported by Dana Mixer for Fox News Digital.
According to the statement, my client acted alone during the incident and did not receive any assistance. She was not in the company of anyone or at any hotel during the time she was missing. She expressed remorse for her actions towards the community, volunteers who aided in the search, the Hoover Police Department, other agencies, as well as her loved ones.
Derzis spoke at a press conference about the charges filed, and mentioned that there is still uncertainty regarding Russell’s location during the 49 hours she was missing.
A former detective has stated that Carlee Russell’s claim of traveling “6 football fields” during her 911 call on the night of her husband’s murder doesn’t seem to make any sense.
The Hoover, Alabama Police Department is currently analyzing traffic camera footage from I-459 that captures the vehicle of Carlee Russell, who was reported missing on July 13. The video shows Russell’s car moving at a slow pace in the emergency lane with warning lights on before eventually coming to a stop. The footage was provided by the Hoover Police Department and is currently being reviewed as part of the ongoing investigation.
According to Derzis, the events that occurred during the 49 hours in which the woman was missing remain a mystery. There is no information available regarding whether or not she received any assistance during that time. However, the main focus throughout the ordeal was to bring her back home safely, and the fact that she has now returned has left Derzis and the team involved feeling immensely relieved and overjoyed.
According to Derzis, “The facts that were discussed last Wednesday clearly indicated that we were aware of the hoax.”
According to reports, it was mentioned earlier by the police that Russell had taken some items from her workplace, the Woodhouse Spa Birmingham. These items included toilet paper and a bathrobe. Later on, she was spotted grabbing some food for takeout and even stopped by Target to pick up some snacks.
