Mariah Woods (Photo via CBS News/WCNT) JACKSONVILLE, N.C. (CBS) Officials issued an Amber Alert Monday as the FBI joined the search for a 3-year-old girl with an orthopedic leg problem who disappeared from her North Carolina home Sunday night. In an interview with CBS affiliate WNCT Mariah Woods’ mother Kristy pleaded for her daughter to be returned safely. “I’ll do anything that I can, whatever you want, just bring her home please safe and sound,” Woods said. “She’s my baby, she’s my everything.” Woods said she woke up Monday morning and noticed her daughter was missing from her bedroom in the family’s Jacksonville home. She said the last time she saw her daughter was around 11 p.m. Sunday when she went to check on her. Family members said there was no sign of forced entry or anything wrong with Mariah’s room but did say the back door was unlocked. Once they realized Mariah was missing, Woods and her live-in boyfriend called authorities. MORE: Amber Alert canceled for 2-year-old Walton County girl Family members said the girl has an orthopedic leg problem, causing her left leg to wobble as she walks. Mariah’s grandmother said due to her granddaughter’s walking issues, she can’t imagine her wandering off. The family also said Mariah would not have left with a stranger. The sheriff’s office checked with Mariah’s biological father but said he does not have the girl. The girl’s two older brothers were in the house when Mariah disappeared.
