That poor child must be scared to death.   

Yes, and I wonder did the family know this man, would Shaniya know him and not be afraid?  I sure hope with the news conference some of this gets cleared up, but most important, that Shaniya has been found safe

Police: Missing 5-year-old seen with man at Sanford hotel
By Nancy McCleary and Nick Needham

A missing 5-year-old Fayetteville girl was seen with a man at a Sanford hotel early Tuesday, less than an hour before she was reported missing by her mother.

Fayetteville police said they are looking for the man who was captured on surveillance video at the hotel with 5-year-old Shaniya Davis. The man is identified as 29-year-old Mario Andrette McNeill, police said.

Shaniya's father, Bradley Lockhart, pleaded with McNeill to take his daughter to the nearest law enforcement center Thursday night. Lockhart was speaking at a press conference at the Fayetteville Police Department.

"Don't give up honey, don't give up," Lockhart offered to his daughter while choking back tears.

The hotel video was taken at 6:11 a.m. Tuesday. The girl's mother, Antoinette Davis, reported Shaniya missing at 6:53 a.m.

Video surveillance from the hotel video cameras shows McNeill holding Davis in his arms waiting for the elevator.

Police said McNeill has a criminal history but none of it involves children.



Father and aunt.  They both appeared to be genuinly terrified for Shaniya:

OHHHHH now I understand. The video was before she was reported missing. Ok, off to read what else has happened. I glanced at the pic of her dad, my goodness what a heartbreaking pic

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.

I agree there has to be a connection, I'm even wondering, or wishful thinking I suppose, that this McNeil took Shaniya out of that house to protect her, but then why leave the others? Something shady that is for sure.  Your avi is the greatest

I will be very surprised if the family doesnt know him.  We are talking a trailer park, I would say several children there.  This happened during the middle of the night.  Was he lurking?
I somehow don't think so....I dont think the child was on the couch at 5:30 am either.  The timeline from the video surviellance seems to suggest earlier.

Thank you, Thank you about the Avi....Brandi did a fantastic job fixing her up!!!

Well Im thinking that this McNeil guy did know the family somehow, otherwise, how did he know where to find Shaniya, since the Mother didnt live there and was suppose to be there babysitting, and how did he know to show up at the precise moment that the Mother put her on the sofa and left her there for a short while, Im thinking that they all knew each other in some way........Now Im worried that he did something to this child to get rid of her so he could run and not be recognized easily, this is all getting crazier as the days pass, and where the He11 is the Mother, why isnt she talking and =asking for Shaniya to be returned, thats not good in my book.......but she is still going back and forth to the police station so she isnt locked up for whatever part she played so I dont know what to think now!!

The manager of the trailer park said yesterday, that a lady that heard the disturbance outside her trailer was positive that was around 3 AM.  Then they find the blanket I think in her trash can. Which was right up against her trailer.  This happened alot earlier then 5:30.  None of them are saying anything.  Its not like most parents who would be yelling sooo very loudly to anyone who would listen.  The dad breaks my heart.

Can someone tell from the video of McNeil and Shaniya, is that a t-shirt or a little dress on her?

[Tracygirl]

Oh my god I was hoping they found her. This is horrible, where is she? If this is drug related and he needs to be paid, he could have sold her.

They need to do whatever they have to in order to get this man to talk and say where she is. LE needs to consider this little girls rights and to hell with this man's.

I think that McNeil was the mother's drug dealer.  I am afraid that she sold that darling little child
for meth or crack.

I wondered also, I can't really tell what Shaniya is wearing.

Could very well be

It looks like a dress to me....which means she wasnt in sleep clothes unless he bought it for her....which I doubt

I have wondered the same.  It looks to me like a pretty little dress with attached petticoats.

[SloSthrnStyle]

I couldnt tell either, supposedly the mother said she was in a t-shirt used as a nightshirt?

[Wyks]

Only thing I can figure why we haven't seen nor heard from the mom is because LE is reportedly questioning her so much.  Of course, that could just be what they want us to think.  Dunno what other reason there could be tho.  I'm with y'all tho, it's very strange! 

The only thing I can find for Antoinette Davis is as an alias under the main spelling of Antwanette, at www.ussearch.com.  Yet that name doesn't link up (yet) with a Brenda Davis.  Here are that person's other alias's..
    * Antwanette Lajune Davis
    * Antwanetta E Davis
    * Antanette L Davis
    * Antoinette Davis
    * Antwanetta Davis
    * Lajune Davis
    * Antwanette L Cox
    * Antionette J Coxdavis
    * Antoinette Wanette
    * Lajune Cox

Am thinking this Antwanette is the mom.  Over at WS, they are saying that there are friends on this facebook (including a Cox) that are in the same area as Antoinette, and that there is a connection between the names Cox, Davis, and McNeill.  I don't have a facebook acct and cannot get in there to see for myself.

This is beginning to sound like the mom *may have* sold, traded Shaniya.  Or may have tried setting up a staged abduction?  It's been reported that there were some custody issues, with Shaniya going back n forth between family members.  This may be more of that kind of thing going on.  Who knows at this point.

It looked very unsettling last night to see a video of a grown man going into a motel room with a five year old at 6:11 in the morning.....taken on the day she was reported missing. Yes, she was alive then, but what happened to her in that motel room? That's why I couldn't understand and get all excited because the LE presser said they thought she was still alive.

Now they have the man who walked into that motel room. Where is Shaniya? My thoughts have been going to terrible places ever since seeing that video and her innocent little face. God how I hope and pray I am wrong.
