NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The woman named as a person of interest in the kidnapping case of a 5-day-old boy has been located in New York State.

Metro Police say Lisa Sampson is being interviewed by law enforcement.

The Amber Alert for Yair Carillo, who was taken from his mother Tuesday afternoon, is still active.

Police spokesman Don Aaron said a now 5-day-old Yair Anthony Carillo was taken from a home on East Ridge Drive at 2:40 p.m. Tuesday.

Late Tuesday night, police said they were looking for Lisa Sampson, 30, of Lebanon, Tenn., who they called a person of interest. She became a person of interest after a resident gave a tip to police after seeing Tuesday's evening newscasts.

The missing infant is Hispanic with black hair and brown eyes. At the time of the abduction, he was wearing a blue-and-white-striped onesie.

The baby's mother, Maria Gurrolla, 30, was hospitalized after suffering non-life-threatening wounds to her neck, head, thigh and breast, police said.

The mother told police the abductor knocked on her door, claimed to be with the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service and wanted to see the woman's immigration papers. Gurrolla let her enter the home, which is when she was stabbed about eight times.

Neighbors said they saw a gray, two-door Honda, but police have maintained that the woman was driving a black, four-door car.

Jessenia Sigala, Gurrolla's cousin, said she was with the mother all morning and that only the immediate family had been specifically told that the baby had been born.

However, there was a blue sign in Gurrolla's front yard announcing the child's birth. Sigala said she was troubled by the sign.

If you've seen the vehicle or child, contact the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department at 615-862-8600 or Tennessee Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-TBI-FIND.
