A missing 2-year-old girl was found in a Long Beach apartment with her baby sitter, Aquanetta Evans, after a citizen recognized a composite drawing of the woman shown on television and notified police. The child, Kiwania Whitfield, had not been seen since last Thursday when her mother, Estelle Williams, turned her over to Evans in South-Central Los Angeles. Los Angeles Police Detective Tony Celli said the baby was in “excellent” shape. Evans, 21, was booked for investigation of child stealing.
