FORT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) -- Authorities have found the two-month-old baby who was kidnapped from a home in Broward County.

The Broward Sheriff's Office said baby Taraji Kemp was located alive at an Orlando hospital on Saturday.

Earlier in the day, law enforcement caught up with a woman who was named a person of interest.

Stephanie Augustin, 23, was found in Ft. Pierce, suspected of kidnapping the baby.

Family members told CBS4's Carey Codd that Augustin is the baby's mother's cousin.

Taraji Kemp was abducted from a home at 2770 N.W. 14th Court, according to police. They said the baby's mother was sleeping inside with the infant and another child when armed intruders entered the home and kidnapped the baby girl. At least one of them had a gun.

"Right now, investigators are actually working very closely with the parents. They're talking with the parents and several other people who were in the home," said BSO's Joy Oglesby.

Investigators are still trying to determine what happened, who took the baby and how she ended up safely at the hospital.
