PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia police have found a 5-year-old girl who went missing Saturday.

Police say 5-year-old Tamira Horton was left in the care of a 55-year-old babysitter and a 52-year-old woman named Kendra on Saturday at a home in the 2800 block of North 22nd Street.

The babysitter told police she left the child and Kendra at 2:30 p.m. to buy school supplies.

When she returned at 4:00 p.m., both were gone.

Police say the babysitter searched the neighborhood to no avail, and was also unable to reach the child's mother, 27-year-old Lakisha Horton.

There was no immediate confirmation if the girl's mother and the 52-year-old person of interest in the case have been located.
