Sanford, Nov 17 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Fayetteville police said on Monday that they have found the dead body of the missing 5-year-old Shaniya Davis. Shaniya’s body was found in an area bordered by Highway 87 south and Walker Road in Sanford. It was the second consecutive day of searching for the missing five-year-old child.

Police also arrested Shaniya’s mother, Antoinette Davis, on Saturday. According to the police, she is accused of human trafficking, prostitution and felony child abuse. Warrants say she provided her daughter with intent that the girl be held in sexual servitude. Antoinette Nicole Davis is being held at the Cumberland County Detention Center under a $51,000 bond since Saturday.

Bradley Lockhart who is the father of the dead girl Shaniya Davis, said that he raised his daughter for quiet some time, but after her mother recently got a new job and a new home, decided to let his daughter stay with her mother. He claims that the relationship between himself and Antoinette Nicole Davis was a “one night stand,” and he never had issues about raising his daughter Shaniya.

Although police have arrested Mario Andrette McNeill, 29, on Friday, who has apparently admitted to taking the girl, but he will plead not guilty to charges of first-degree kidnapping.

The missing girl Shaniya and NcNeill were supposedly captured on a security video at a nearby hotel and by the time, police came for investigations they had checked out.
