Do you have a military surplus store near you? If so, see if they have a personal sized can of OC spray. It's what the military uses and most police departments and is much stronger than normal civilian pepper spray you can buy on the internet.
Teach your daughter to yell "fire" if anyone approaches her again. Sometimes people won't intervene when they hear "help" or a scream because they subconsciously connect it with playing around or a non-emergency, but almost everyone will run towards the location that someone is yelling "fire."
If your daughter has a cell phone make sure it has a tracking app that you can find her through on it. You never know, the lady might try to grab her too next time. Also, post an ad on craigslist or in the local newspaper about what happened. This woman might have done it before and maybe someone has a description of her.
