FORT ATKINSON, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Police are asking for help to find a missing Fort Atkinson woman and her 4-year-old daughter. 

According to Fort Atkinson Police, 35-year-old Lindsay Harter last spoke with family around 3:00-3:30 p.m. on Wednesday. She is said to be with her daughter Lily in a 2009 4-door gray or silver Ford Fusion with Wisconsin plates 906ZUB. 

Police say Lindsay has medical issues and has previously driven to other areas of Wisconsin where she has been confused as to where she was and why she was there. 

Lindsay was last seen on Highway 58 near Ithaca around 3:30 p.m. on Thursday. A citizen told police Lindsay was stopped in the traffic lane, out of gas, on Highway 58 near Ithaca.
