[no rose colored glasses]

For those good with looking things up on myspace and facebook.....

From WS:

I believe Mom can be found on MS...Goldsboro NC...Antwanette Davis. She has several accounts...one is public with pics. She is a CNA II. The account was last accessed in 08. At that time her mother had passed away.

A relative connection for Mario McNeill was found on veromi.com
This relative is found on fb...searching fb friends there is a connection between the names Cox, Davis, and McNeill.

Mom Antwanette also has a fb

Thanks, I'm not good on myspace or facebook, but I'm sure someone will be able to access it. I have not seen a pic of mom.

Well...I was hoping that this baby would have ben found by the time I logged back on, but I see she hasnt been, Im sure LE has something concrete on Coe, otherwise he wouldnt be setting in the Jail right now, Im glad they have him locked up, they will get something out of him, he was involved with this in some way and deserves to be where he is, This McNeil guy would be crazy to try to keep running with this child, He needs to leave her somewhere and run, get while the gettings good IMO.....he wont get far with this child and he should know that, he's already been  seen with her once..

Seahorse....I dont know if Shaniya was in school, I havent heard one way or the other,Strange.....hmmm,,,,,,,but someone mentioned in one of her pictures she seems to have what looks like a bookbag on so its a possibility...

Klaas, thanks for posting the video on this page, I like it when you are able to just click on the video without leaving the thread, so much easier, Thanks...

Man wanted in 5-year-old missing girl case has criminal record

A staff report

 

The man seen carrying a missing 5-year-old girl into a Sanford hotel has a lengthy criminal history, according to the state's Departmetn of Correction Web site.

Mario Andrette McNeill, 29, has been identified as the man seen on surveillance tape with Shaniya Davis, who has been missing since Tuesday morning, Fayetteville police said.

A worker at the hotel called police after seeing a girl matching Shaniya's description, according to police. The worker reported that Shaniya was with a man.

Shaniya's mother, Antoinette Davis, told police she last saw her daughter about 5:30 a.m. Tuesday morning at her home in Sleepy Hollow Mobile Home Park off Murchison Road.

Another man, 30-year-old Clarence Darriel Coe, was charged late Wednesday with first-degree kidnapping. His bail was set at $100,000.

A witness reported seeing Coe drive away from the park with Shaniya in the vehicle, police said.

McNeill's criminal record shows that he has spent time in prison off and on since 2001.

His record includes at least three felony assault charges and numerous drug-related charges.

McNeill was released in May 2006 after serving a four-year sentence for felony assault, according to DOC reords.

Police said Shaniya's mother has been in and out of the police department helping in the investigation and remains in town. The 7-year-old boy is now in foster care.

Anyone with information about Shaniya is asked to call 433-1585.

Second suspect arrested in girl's disappearance

Posted: 47 minutes ago
Updated: 1 minute ago

Fayetteville, N.C. — A second man has been charged in the disappearance of a 5-year-old girl, police said Friday, but the whereabouts of the girl are still unknown.

Mario Andrette McNeill, 29, was arrested early Friday and and charged with kidnapping. He was being held in the Cumberland County Detention Center under a $100,000 bond and was expected to make his initial court appearance at 2:30 p.m. Friday.

Police also dropped the kidnapping charge against another man in the case and released him.

Shaniya Nicole Davis was reported missing from her home, at 1116-A Sleepy Hollow Drive in Fayetteville, Tuesday morning. Her mother told police she put the girl on a couch at 5:30 a.m., but she was gone when her mother went to check on her about an hour later.

A worker in a Sanford hotel called Fayetteville police on Tuesday to report seeing a child matching Shaniya's description with a man at the hotel. A security video showed the girl with a man believed to be McNeill at the hotel at 6:11 a.m. Tuesday.

By the time Fayetteville investigators reached the hotel, the man and the child had checked out, police said.

Shaniya appeared to be "well taken care of," Theresa Chance, spokeswoman for the Fayetteville Police Department, said Thursday night.

"We believe she is safe," Chance said.

McNeill has a criminal history, including arrests for fleeing to elude arrest, assault on a female and drug possession.

His relationship to the child is unknown.

Police arrested Clarence Darriel Coe, 30, of 211 Brookwood Ave. in Fayetteville, late Wednesday and charged him with first-degree kidnapping in the case.

A witness saw a man police believe to be Coe driving away from the Sleepy Hollow Mobile Home Park on Tuesday with Shaniya in his car, police said.

Chance said investigators have determined he wasn't involved in Shaniya's disappearance, and they dropped the charge against him Friday morning.

Shaniya is described as 3 feet tall and 40 pounds. She has brown hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a blue T-shirt with pink underwear. She is thin and has a scar on her foot.

Anyone with information on Shaniya's whereabouts is asked to call the Fayetteville Police Department at 910-433-1856 or Crime Stoppers at 910-483-8477.

2nd arrest in missing girl case
Updated at 11:35 AM today

FAYETEVILLE, NC (WTVD) -- Police in Fayetteville say they've made a second arrest in the case of a missing 5-year-old who's the focus of a nationwide Amber Alert.

Shaniya Davis has been missing since Tuesday. Fayetteville Police Department spokesperson Theresa Chance said Davis was spotted alive in the company of a 29-year-old man the morning she disappeared. Now that man, Mario Andrette McNeill, has been arrested.

Chance had no information on the whereabouts of Davis.

"I can't speak to if she's alive or not," Chance told reporters at a Friday morning news conference.

Police said they started looking for McNeill after getting a tip from a hotel in Sanford that he had been there with Davis. Sanford is about 40 miles north of Fayetteville. Detectives said surveillance video at the hotel showed the man carrying the girl towards an elevator at 6:11 a.m. Tuesday morning.

Chance said McNeill was taken into custody Thursday night and has been questioned. She said he admitted to the kidnapping. She would not elaborate on where Davis might be, but did say police are hopeful of finding her alive.

Davis' father pleaded at a Thursday night news conference for his daughter's safe return.

"Shaniya, if you are listening to daddy ... I miss you so much ... I'm not going to give up," Bradley Lockhart said.

Thursday, the Fayetteville Police Department had announced another arrest in the case. Clarence Coe, 30, of Brookwood Avenue in Fayetteville was charged with first-degree kidnapping after a witness told investigators they saw him leaving the mobile home park where Davis lives with her in his car.

But at Friday's news conference, Chance said there is new evidence that shows Coe was not involved, and said he will be released.

McNeill has an extensive criminal background. An ABC11 check of his record turned up convictions for selling illegal drugs, assault, shooting into an occupied home, and more.

He was set to be arraigned on first-degree kidnapping charges later Friday..

Anyone having any information on the current whereabouts of Shaniya Davis is urged to contact the Fayetteville Police Department at (910) 433-1856. To leave an anonymous tip, call Crime Stoppers at (910) 483-8477.

OMG....Please...Tell them where she is!!!

[higherhopes]

So McNeil admitted to the kidnapping, but hasnt said where Shaniya is???  Hmm.....something is really off with all this, and now I wonder if it was McNeil that was seen with Shaniya in his car instead of Coe,,,,,,,all this is confusing and doesnt make sense, I bet LE knows alot more then we do, so just maybe they will get to the bottom of where Shaniya is and soon, before anyone can move her again.....This child has to be scared to death.....I pray she is alive and well and he didnt harm her befor he was caught, but Im not gettting a good feeling about this,,,,,he sure got rid of her fast.......Please God watch over her now!!

[no rose colored glasses]

So McNeill is arrested and Coe is released.  WHERE IS SHANIYA? 

Wow, just got back from a walk and saw this. So I guess Coe demeanor in court was justified.

[Jennifer34]

That poor child must be scared to death.

Im with you HH, Im not getting a good feeling either. If he watched any news and found out they have him on tape with her, he could have gotten spooked.  With people owing for drugs, and so many pervs out there wanting children, this isnt good at all.

[SloSthrnStyle]

They are all connected, some how , some way....McNeil, Coe, the mother, the sister...we will find they are all connected.  Something is really shady about this.

The lady that runs the trailer park, said on Prime News yesterday, that Coe was told NOT to come back to the trailer park. They have had words.  I believe she said she talked to Shaniya's Aunt who is the one that lives at the trailer park, that the mother was only there to babysit, not lived there and Coe is the mothers boyfriend.
