I was somewhat surprised to see this hadn't already made the rounds here (The name "Shaniya" hadn't turned up in a body-search of the group, so if it's been discussed, apologies & perhaps I just spelled the name wrong), but here you go. I couldn't help but to think from the picture of the perp carrying the little girl that he couldn't have been much taller than 5' himself - maybe why he wanted a little girl? I dunno'. Hope they find her. :-(
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — The mother of a 5-year-old girl who disappeared in North Carolina was charged Saturday with human trafficking and other offenses, though authorities said they still did not know the girl's whereabouts.
Antoinette Nicole Davis, the mother of Shaniya (shuh-'NY-uh) Davis, faces a child abuse charge involving prostitution as well as filing a false police report, according to a news release from the Fayetteville Police Department. The release did not say whether the charges were related to her daughter's disappearance. Telephone messages and an e-mail left for police were not immediately returned.
<snip>
Surveillance footage showed Mario Andrette McNeill carrying Shaniya into a hotel room, and he was arrested and charged with kidnapping Friday.
<snip>
Shaniya's father, Bradley Lockhart, told The Associated Press he raised his daughter for several years but last month decided to let her stay with her mother. He said Davis struggled financially over the years, but she recently obtained a job and her own place, so Lockhart decided to give her a chance to raise their daughter.
"I should've never let her go over there," he said Saturday night. Lockhart said police have not told him whether they are any closer to finding his daughter.
"I just want her to come back safe my friend," he said. "I love her very much and I hope she is OK."

I've been following this one. It's been up and down all week. Last I heard they are doing a ground search of a wooded area for her, so it's *down* again. Earlier in the week we were hopeful she might be alive, but with her abductor arrested, it's looking pretty bleak now. :( It's looking like the mother only wanted her to make money. She'd only been with the mother a month or so. A beautiful little girl.
** FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. - Authorities have suspended their search for a 5-year-old girl reported missing by her mother, who is charged with human trafficking and child abuse involving prostitution.
Fayetteville police spokeswoman Theresa Chance said the search for Shaniya Nicole Davis will resume Monday morning.
---
Sky 5 footage of the scene showed Walker Road blocked off and law enforcement vehicles parked along the road. K-9 units were at the scene, and officers searched a kudzu-covered ravine off the highway.
----
Late Saturday, Shaniya's mother, Antoinette Nicole Davis, was charged with human trafficking, felony child abuse - prostitution, filing a false police report and resist, delay or obstruct an officer. She is being held in the Cumberland County Detention Center under a $51,000 bond.
Chance said that arrest documents say Davis "knowingly provide(d) Shaniya Davis with the intent that she be held in sexual servitude" and she "permit(ted) an act of prostitution."

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. - The body of missing 5-year-old Shaniya Nicole Davis was recovered Monday afternoon, Fayetteville Police Chief Tom Bergamine said.
The child was first reported missing from her home, at 1116-A Sleepy Hollow Drive, by her mother last Tuesday morning. On Friday, Mario Andrette McNeill, 29, was charged with first-degree kidnapping, and late Saturday, her mother, Antoinette Nicole Davis, 25, was arrested on accusations that she prostituted her daughter.
Fayetteville police received a tip Sunday that Shaniya's body was dumped along Walker Road, off N.C. Highway 87, said Theresa Chance, spokeswoman for the Fayetteville Police Department. About 250 law enforcement agents and volunteers searched the area Monday morning, but they moved farther south after noon.
Searchers focused on an area about 6 miles from the last confirmed sighting of Shaniya. She was seen on security video at the Comfort Suites hotel in Sanford, along with a man who police believe is McNeill, last Tuesday morning.

Today on CNN online they showed a picture of her it looks like she's in a store. She has on makeup, blue eyeshadow. I wonder if her mother did that to her to make her up for her johns. That thought and picture really sickened me.

I've lost track of who posted what, but anyway thx for this last, rich link. Lots of good stuff there. Interesting seeing the suspect in front of a judge without counsel. The judge essentially mirandized her before appointing a public defender. Judge asked her over and over, do you understand? May seem he's being kind, but what he's doing is making sure it's all covered - no appealable issues down the track from his courtroom.
And about the defendent, the child's mother, she's extremely good looking, SO not the skanky-ho look I anticipated by a long shot. Thin - must be the drugs? I'm assuming a drug habit is what drove this whole crime?
The video of the mother's aunt is impressive. Very well-spoken woman, hard to believe she has a niece who'd pimp out her own 5yo.
So sorry for the dad and his sister who raised that baby. He must be asking himself over and over why he let the child's mother have a chance. It looks to me that the reason the mother wanted her back was to rent her out? But why did she call LE to report the child missing, I wonder?

She prolly called LE so the father wouldn't call LE on her when he realized Shaniya was missing. She thought she had everything covered.

A sad end to the search for missing girl A little more than a week before Shaniya Davis vanished, her mother told Carey Lockhart, the aunt who helped raise the 5-year-old, that she'd never see Shaniya again.
Those words echoed in Lockhart's head Monday, hours before searchers pulled a body police think was Shaniya's from a thicket of kudzu along the border of Lee and Harnett counties.
"If I'd only known ... ," Lockhart said Monday, her voice trailing off into sobs. She had helped rear the girl since infancy.
snipped>>
Traded between homes
Shaniya has bounced between homes since birth, shared between a mother and a father who conceived her during a chance encounter one night. Carey Lockhart had been the girl's primary guardian because her father, Bradley Lockhart, worked long stretches as a building contractor at out-of-state jobs.
"There was no denying that she was his," Carey Lockhart said of the resemblance between Shaniya and her father.
Lockhart described Shaniya as a joyful girl who loved to dress up in pretty clothes and make her cousins laugh. She was a kindergartner at Morganton Road Elementary School in Fayetteville.
Though Bradley Lockhart and Antoinette Davis never married, they shared responsibility for Shaniya from the start. Davis' interaction with her daughter was typically limited to occasional weekend visits, Lockhart said. Their custody arrangement was never formalized by the courts.
But 21/2 weeks ago, Lockhart said, the informal parenting arrangement dissolved.
Shaniya went to visit her mother on Oct. 31. Lockhart said she packed Shaniya enough clothes for two days and expected to pick her up that Sunday.
But on Sunday morning, Lockhart said, Davis called and told her that she'd never see Shaniya again. Lockhart said Davis was angry that she had disciplined Shaniya for getting into a fight with her cousins.
"I was at a loss; I had no idea what to do," said Lockhart, who had no formal custody of Shaniya and could not demand her return.
"I knew when [my brother] came home, we were going to have to go to court and make some changes so we didn't have to endure this," Lockhart said.
That resolution never came. Bradley Lockhart had not returned from a job in Oregon when Shaniya disappeared.
Last Tuesday, Lockhart rang his sister with bizarre news. A neighbor called him to say that police were looking for Shaniya.
As they were talking on the phone, police knocked on Carey Lockhart's door. They had found her name listed as a guardian at Shaniya's elementary school.
A million thoughts raced through Carey Lockhart's head: Maybe her mother was hiding her? Maybe someone wanted to collect a ransom from her brother?
She peppered police with questions. They grilled her right back. She feared they suspected she had done something to Shaniya. She buckled in tears and remembers police relenting.
"I was about to die," Lockhart said. "I cannot describe the devastation. All the things I could have done different."
Listening to 6:00 news:
Body has been identified as Shaniya.
Brad Lockhart has six children by three different women.
also at link, video of Shaniya's father making statement this afternoon, portion of that statement:
It's not the result I wanted. It's not the result any father or family would want for their children," Lockhart said. "My heart hopes and bleeds and prays that this community (and) this country can possibly unite as one to prevent something like this from happening again to another special angel."
As he stood amid a shrine of flowers and teddy bears in his front yard, he said he was "appalled and disgusted" about the possibility that his daughter was sold as a sex slave.
Lockhart's sister, Carey Lockhart-Davis, urged people to help any child they see who might be in danger.
"Don't let another innocent bystander go unnoticed because we, as adults, fail to realize that they depend on us for safety and trust," Lockhart-Davis said as she choked back tears. "To every pedophile, every person who thinks of taking a child, please beware . I'll be watching."
She said she felt "robbed" because her special bond with her niece has been broken. She recalled helping Shaniya learn how to tie her shoes and color pictures.
"She had such a wonderful, kind soul, and her spirit and smile brightened every day of everyone she touched," she said.
Shaniya's death is the second family tragedy for Lockhart. Eleven years ago, his former wife, Vicki Lockhart, was one of three people killed in a home invasion in Cumberland County.
Although Lockhart said he would try to forgive Davis for Shaniya's disappearance and death, his sister said she never cared for Davis and how she cared for her children.
"Never have I allowed my children to live in an environment that was unsafe," Lockhart-Davis said.
Lockhart said he didn't want to blame anyone for Shaniya's death, saying he could have done things differently himself.
"Every parent would blame themselves. We all look within ourselves to see what we could have done differently," he said.

I'm wondering about this Lockhart guys selection of women to bear his children. At least two of the three appear to have a lot of violent characters in their lives.

Another article about the dead wife, says they had three children together who went to live with their maternal grandparents after their mother was murdered. Saw the 17 yr. old girl on *graceless* last night, Cheyenne.
Thanks, Bella. :-( I figured it wouldn't end good for this one, it seemed inevitable that this child would almost have to be dead just from the little bits of knowledge that we did have about her whereabouts & who all she was with when last publicly seen. The surveillance of that man carrying her into the hotel room was all I really would've needed to figure it out, though.

I don't care if it's unreasonable. I'm not talking about what's going to happen.
Mother's sentence: after new baby put up for anonymous adoption, must be drawn and quartered and incarcerated forever thereafter without med treatment. Father needs to receive court mandated vasectomy. Now. And in-depth examination of care of his other children, given his choice of sexual partners. Kidnapper: death. Murderer: death.

A bit more of reading the local boards, there was a BOLO for a 60 yr. old white male with a rap sheet for sex crimes. The only place I've seen this is on message board.
Also, word is that the father of the baby murder mom is pregnant with now, has AIDS. That would be the guy the mother first gave up as the kidnapper.
Did see someone else make mention of the fathers changing dialects, which is something I too had noticed after hearing him speak a couple of different times. Sometimes the father has a 'southern/black/Lumbee/red neck' type accent, other times it isn't evident at all. When he is speaking on national TV it's gone, when he's speaking locally, with his *friends*, he has a thick dialect.

When the child was shown going into the hotel room alive, I thought this one might turn out differently from so many others. I still don't have a handle on how it all went down. Does anyone else?

I don't think we know the whole story yet. Something is missing. Why would he take her from Fayetteville to Sanford? Sanford is just a one horse place, not really *near* anything. The only reason I can think of, is if someone else had contracted for the child. Was he bringing her to Sanford for someone else to purchase her services. But WTF would they meet in a hotel? Doesn't make any sense that a hand-off would be in such a public place. Perhaps the guy never showed up? And Shaniya's father is really bugging the hell out of me too. The aunt, father's sister, is the only one who seemed genuinely concerned with her welfare.
And why are they continuing this farce about 'daddy letting mommy have a chance with the child?' when it's obvious that wasn't the case. The aunt even admitted 'she dropped Shaniya off with two days of clothes, for her *usual* week-end with her mother.' And then the mother refused to give her back.

No! I've been waiting for information as to why the police charged the mother with selling into sexual slavery. There have been no details whatsoever revealed.

Let me see if I understand. LE first arrested the unborn baby's father, but then let him go. He wasn't the kidnapper. It was the guy with the long hair who was carrying the child into the motel room who is now under arrest for kidnapping, right? He spent an hour or less at the motel, is that right? What I can't get is - do they have tape of him carrying the child out of the motel or what? Or tape of him leaving alone?

--------------------------
Let's see, there is also that feces covered blanket that belonged to Shaniya, found in the neighbors trash the morning she went missing. That plays in here somewhere. I haven't heard if the sister was at home the night this all transpired either.
Mom had to come up with something to account for the child's disappearance because her daddy was coming home from his trip to Oregon that day or the next.
And I don't get this discreptancy between the aunt who cared for Shaniya saying she was only to be gone for the week-end,and the father saying he'd given her to her mom because 'mom wanted to be a mother.'
On the news tonight, there was an interview with a friend of the father, who said 'he'd warned the father to not let Shaniya go to her mothers, that after she was staying with the mother he noticed cigarette burns on her arms.' this guy claims he warned the father a number of times.
