Recorded live at CrimeCon 2023, the season finale of Untold Stories: Black and Missing, delves into Carlee Russell's fake disappearance; why the  initial news of her disappearance went viral and if it will have an impact on true missing person cases involving people of color. The panel discussion  includes Josh Mankiewicz of NBC Dateline. Russell made national headlines in July when she disappeared after calling 911 to report seeing a toddler walking alone on an Alabama highway. When officers arrived they found her vehicle still running, but there was no trace of her or the child. Two days later, she returned home claiming that she had been kidnapped. However, an investigation revealed her story had holes in it, and on July 24th, her lawyer acknowledged she had made the whole abduction story up and that she acted alone.
