A young Minneapolis girl is back with her family today as authorities continue to comb surveillance video for any potential clues that might lead them to the man who allegedly kidnapped her this weekend in broad daylight.

The 7-year-old girl was playing with friends Saturday when the man allegedly approached them seeking help in finding his lost puppy.

The video - taken from a neighbor's camera - captured her, wearing a white coat, walking off with him around 3 p.m., said John Elder of the Minneapolis Police Department.

Latrisha Beaty, a family friend, told KSTP.com that the little girl's mom was distraught when she realized her daughter had been taken.

"She was walking back and forth. She couldn't sit down. She just kept crying," Beaty said.

Nearly two hours later, police found her walking near her home. Authorities said she was being questioned.

Char Rivette of the Chicago Child Advocacy Center said children tended to believe adults.

"He talked about a puppy and that's about tricking the child into thinking he can trust the person," Rivette said. "That's a really strong tactic that a potential child abuser may use."

Although authorities say that abductions by strangers are rare, they do happen.

In November, Stephanie Holladay Edson of Utah woke up to the sound of footsteps she knew could not belong to her 5-year-old daughter.

When Edson didn't find her daughter in her bedroom, her husband ran outside. He said he saw a man holding their child.

The man allegedly handed the little girl to the Edsons and was later found by police.
