Police say they believe an unknown Asian woman of about 40 with black hair wearing a black dress abducted the child.
JinJing Ma was in America from China on a tour group and had received her passport just prior to checking in. She left her group and met up with the woman, who helped her change clothes. "They then walked together to the arrivals area of the airport and disappeared out of camera view," the police statement reads.
The child was last seen wearing a white t-shirt, blue jeans, and a black jacket.
"Witness stated he may have seen same woman in NYC meet up with victim and hand her food," the statement adds.
Police ask anyone with information to call MWAA at 703-417-2400.
