A 25-year-old woman in Alabama who was reported missing on Thursday night after telling a 911 dispatcher that she saw a toddler walking along the side of an interstate and would pull over to help was found late on Saturday, according to the police.
The woman, Carlee Russell, showed up at her family's front door, knocked and was greeted by her stunned relatives, said Nicholas Derzis, the police chief in Hoover, a suburb of Birmingham.
He said he was not sure how Ms. Russell got there, but nobody was with her when she arrived. She was taken to a hospital for evaluation.
Dispatchers at Hoover 911 received a call at 10:45 p.m. on Saturday that said Ms. Russell had returned home, the police said in a statement.

Among the most puzzling details about the case is how no other driver on the heavily traversed interstate managed to spot a toddler walking on the side of the road that night, an image that would have surely prompted more 911 calls than just Ms. Russell's.
"That is a little unusual," Chief Derzis said on Saturday night before Ms. Russell was found.

"From the time that she stopped to the time that the first officer hits the blue lights and gets to the scene — we do not see another vehicle pull over or anything like that," Chief Derzis said.
An early tip about a gray vehicle with a man standing outside of Ms. Russell's vehicle was discounted after the footage review, the chief added.
"So what we're focusing on is, one, getting the information out to the American people: Clearly, this is a big galaxy that we live in and that there is very likely technology that we are unaware of where it's come from — and so, does this pose a national security threat?" Luna tells Ask a Pol.
Number two:
"It's important that instead of trying to make this conspiratorial and poo-pooing it, that people are actually understanding that it's very likely that there's other life forms out there and that we're not alone in this universe and that we can address these things with a scientific mindset," Luna says.
Last month, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer confirmed he tapped Luna and Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) to lead his committee's investigation into new claims made by whistleblower David Grusch, who claims the federal government has recovered otherworldly craft. And also hidden it from Congress.
"So Burchett and Luna, on my committee, are the two that are kinda taking the lead in that. It's interesting. It's not an issue I'm an expert in so I don't know anything about it, but apparently Burchett and Luna are so they're really excited and our staffs are real excited about it," Comer told Ask a Pol.

Both are worth watching. As Burchett told Ask a Pol yesterday:
