[May 27, 2009]  PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Police are searching for a woman and her young daughter, who were allegedly abducted in broad daylight by men who rear-ended their car near Philadelphia.

Police and the FBI say Bonnie Sweeten, of Feasterville, made a cell phone call Tuesday from a car trunk. She told a 911 dispatcher she and 9-year-old Julia Rakoczy (ruh-KOH'-zee) were forced in after the car struck her SUV.

It is not clear whether the 38-year-old mother knew the two men she said kidnapped her and Julia around 2 p.m.

FBI spokesman J.J. Klaver says police found Sweeten's SUV early Wednesday in downtown Philadelphia.

Sweeten's ex-husband, Tony Rakoczy, said on NBC's "Today" show that he doesn't understand why the abductors would keep them. He says "we don't have money."
