Body of Missing 5 Year Old NC Girl Shaniya Davis Found ; Antoinette Davis & Mario Andrette McNeill facing Charges

God Bless this Little Angel …

Sadly, the body of missing 5 year old Shaniya Davis has been discovered Monday off a rural road in Sanford, NC about 30 miles from her home, nearly a week after her mother reported her missing from a mobile home park.

Shaniya Davis had been missing since November 10, 2009 in Fayetteville, NC. What a tragic and heinous life this little child lived. How could anyone, especially one’s own mother do such a thing to their child? May she now be finally in peace. One thing is for certain, she is now in a better place where no one can ever harm this poor child ever again.

 5 year old Shaniya Nicole Davis – the death of a little angel

When 5-year-old Shaniya Davis of North Carolina went missing, suspicion turned to a man described as her mother’s boyfriend. As he was let go, police targeted another man spotted on hotel surveillance footage holding the child. Then, authorities arrested the girl’s mother and accused her of offering her daughter for prostitution.

The arrests offered a glimmer of hope Shaniya would be found alive, but searchers discovered the girl’s body Monday off a rural road, nearly a week after her mother reported her missing from a mobile home park.

Hundreds of volunteers who helped look for Shaniya left the search area dejected, unable to bring her home to her father, 7-year-old brother and the dolls she so loved.

Shaniya’s mother, 25-year-old Antoinette Davis has been charged by police with human trafficking and felony child abuse, saying Shaniya was offered for sex. Unreal. How could a mother do such a thing to her own daughter? Also charged was 29 year old Mario Andrette McNeill with kidnapping.

Authorities also charged Mario Andrette McNeill, 29, with kidnapping after they said surveillance footage from a Sanford hotel showed him carrying Shaniya. Authorities said McNeill admitted taking the girl, though his attorney said he will plead not guilty.

Fayetteville police spokeswoman Theresa Chance declined to talk about additional charges. She also wouldn’t comment on a cause of death or the condition of Shaniya’s body, except to say that state investigators planned to retrieve it about 100 feet off the road.

I am often asked by people when dealing with such missing person cases that wind up like this in death that how can God allow such a beautiful and inncent child to die. My answer is simple in such a case like this henous case of 5 year old Shaniya Nicole Davis where her own mother was pimping her out for sex. God did not allow this girl to die, God intervened and said enough is enough. He brought one of his most beautiful angels home so that she would no longer have to be abused, hurt, raped and trafficked for sexual purposed. Shaniya Davis is now in a place where there is no pain, only love … something of which it would appear that she was given little of on Earth.

God bless this child and may she be in eternal peace.

UPDATE I: Police Say North Carolina Girl Raped and Murdered the Day She Was Snatched

A 5-year-old North Carolina girl was raped and killed the same day she was taken from her home, according to an arrest warrant released Friday.

Shaniya Davis was sexually assaulted and asphyxiated Nov. 10, the day her mother reported her missing from the trailer park where she was staying, according to the warrant. Authorities embarked on a nearly weeklong search that ended when the girl’s body was found dumped off a rural road.
