A family member noticed the child was missing from the 6700 block of Tower Drive in the Fairfax County section of Alexandria. The child returned a short time later and told the family member a man abused her, investigators said Monday. 

A composite sketch released by police on Tuesday, showing a man with a mustache, heavy eyebrows and a side part in his dark hair. Police described the man as being in his mid-20s to early 30s, 5 feet 8 inches or 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing about 200 pounds.
