She told officers that she had argued with a female family friend who then assaulted her and drove off in her black 2006 Chevy Impala while the baby was still inside the vehicle.  

No arrests have been made in the case yet. Police said detectives are continuing to investigate due to "conflicting information" and will consult with the prosecutor’s office regarding charges.
