Police Searcing for North Carolina Girl’s Body
According to Fayetteville, North Carolina police, approximately 200 people are searching in North Carolina for the body of a missing 5-year-old girl after reliable information indicates that she may be dead.
From CNN:
The search focused on land near a roadway because “reliable information received that the body of Shaniya Davis may have been dumped there,” the Fayetteville Police Department said in a statement.
Investigators have been searching for Shaniya for several days.
Police charged the girl’s mother, Antoinette Nicole Davis, with trafficking and other offenses, authorities said. Davis was “prostituting her child,” said Fayetteville police spokeswoman Theresa Chance.
Other charges against the mother include felony child abuse, prostitution and filing a false police report, according to the Fayetteville Police Department.
The mother told police last week that the child vanished from their mobile home in Fayetteville.
From CBS:
Police have released horrifying still frames from a hotel surveillance video that shows a man carrying missing 5-year-old Shaniya Davis through a hotel hallway and towards an elevator.
Officials say a hotel worker called police to report seeing a child matching Shaniya’s description, but by the time police got there, the man and child had left.
Police identified the man as Mario Andrette McNeill, according to Fayetteville Police spokeswoman Teresa Chance.
Shaniya was seen with him Tuesday, about an hour after she disappeared from her home in Fayetteville, roughly 30 miles away. Authorities are uncertain of the connection between McNeill and the child, said Chance.
McNeill was arrested Friday and charged with kidnapping, but that has not led to police finding Shaniya.
