The mom of the 5-year-old girl abducted from her elementary school classroom in West Philadelphia earlier this month was given a polygraph test and passed, FOX 29's Dave Schratwieser reports.
FOX 29 has also learned that police are collecting new surveillance video.
The 5-year-old was taken right out of her classroom at Bryant Elementary School earlier this month. The girl was discovered hiding under a slide at an Upper Darby Park in the early morning hours the next day. Police say she was dressed in a t-shirt and was shivering when a passerby discovered her.
Since then, investigators continue their search for her abductor and another suspect believed to be involved.
The reward for information that leads to an arrest of the suspects who abducted the girl is now up to $20,000.

Tomorrow, strong thunderstorms move through, from the same cold front that caused the midwest tornadoes. That front will also usher in cooler air for the holiday weekend.
