2-Year Old Missing Girl Allegedly Abducted By Uber Driver In Penn Hills, PA

An Amber Alert was issued after a toddler was abducted in Penn Hills on Saturday, according to police.

Family members tell Channel 11 Uber driver Sharena Islam Nancy was giving a ride to 2-year old Nalani Johnson, her father and a friend. When Nalani’s father got out of the car and went around to get the girl out is when Nancy allegedly took off with the child.

“She was in a car seat in the back, and he went around to get the car seat out with his daughter. And at the time, he had his hand on the door, and she drove off,” Nalani’s grandfather, Paul Johnson, said.

WPXI reports:

Police said Nalani Johnson is a black female with a light complexion and will be 2 years old in September. She has short, curly, black hair and brown eyes and was wearing a black shirt and a skirt with floral design and black sandals. Police said she goes by the nickname “Mooh.”

Johnson was last seen at the intersection of Bryant and Clay drives in the Penn Hills Borough at about 5 p.m. Saturday, according to police.

Police said the girl was abducted by Sharena Islam Nancy, a 25-year-old Indian American female with black hair and brown eyes.

Police said Nancy was driving a 2017 black Toyota Yaris with PA plate KLW3926 with Lyft and Uber stickers on the front passenger side window. Police said they found Nancy and the car involved and said she was being questioned at the police department.

County police, the lead agency now in the investigation, said they are being helped by the FBI. The agency said shortly after the alleged abduction, Nancy drove to Monroeville, where the car was spotted near the intersection of Route 48 and Route 22 shortly after 5 p.m.

During their investigation, police said the black Toyota Yaris traveled to the Blairsville, New Alexandria and Delmont areas of Westmoreland County during the 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. time frame. Anyone who may have seen anything is asked to call Allegheny County police.
