GREENSBORO, N.C. — Law enforcement authorities in Greensboro are asking for the public's help to identify and find a woman who is considered a suspect in the disappearance of a missing 3-year-old girl who was abducted in Greensboro Wednesday night.

An Amber Alert was issued for Ahlora Ashanti-Sample Lindiment after she was taken by an unknown woman from a playground at 2411 Phillips Ave. in Greensboro.

Police identified the woman who took the child as a black woman in her 20s who is about 5 feet, 6 inches tall and weighs around 135 pounds. She had a short ponytail and was wearing a black short-sleeve crop top, tiger-print pants with a yellow stripe and dark flip flops.

A surveillance photo released Thursday shows a woman who police said during a Thursday afternoon news conference is considered a suspect. Police said the woman has no known connection with the girl's family. Two new photos of the woman were also released Thursday evening.
