In the wake of Carlee Russell’s eerie disappearance from a stretch of highway in Alabama, her parents urged law enforcement to issue an “Ashanti Alert” on Carlee’s behalf.  On this week’s episode, we dive into the alert systems that have our phones vibrating off the hook.  First, we tell the story of Ashanti Billie, the 19 year old student behind the Ashanti Alert.  And since we are talking about alerts, we also felt it was only right to cover the story of Amber Hagerman, the nine year old behind the infamous Amber Alert.
