Police are asking for the public's help in identifying a suspected kidnapper who apparently lured a 7-year-old north Minneapolis girl into his car over the weekend by asking her to help him "find his puppy."
The girl was found walking about 2½ blocks from home nearly two hours after her disappearance, apparently after being dropped off by the suspect.
Police described the wanted man, whose blurry image was captured on a neighbor's surveillance camera and handed out Tuesday, as white and in his 30s. He was wearing a dark jacket with a gray or white horizontal stripe, Minneapolis Deputy Police Chief Kris Arneson said.
