Comments on the news site say this is a really bad neighborhood. Watching the video of the helicopter, there were small kids out playing even with all the activity going on. Don't think I would be letting mine out the door.

There's a SO that lives right near there.

Fayetteville girl, 5, reported missing

Fayetteville, N.C. — Cumberland County authorities are searching for Shaniya Nicole Davis, 5, who went missing from her home, 1116-A Sleepy Hollow Drive in Fayetteville, Tuesday morning.

"An Amber Alert has been initiated," according to a news release from Lt. David Sportsman.

Police responded to the home around 6:50 a.m., and Shaniya's mother told officers that she last saw her daughter at 5:30 a.m. A man believed to be a boyfriend and Shaniya's 7-year-old brother were in the home when she went missing.

It is unclear how the child left the home.

"The circumstances surrounding her disappearance are very odd. A 5-year-old usually...(is) not awake at 5:30 a.m. normally, and they just wouldn't leave their home," Fayetteville police spokeswoman Theresa Chance said. "If she would have wandered out of her home, she would be around here somewhere."

Chance said the family has a history with the Department of Social Services.

"There have been major DSS issues with this family – who has custody, switching back and forth," Chance said.

Chance said it's unknown whether her disappearance is domestic related. Police said Shaniya's father flew in from out of state Tuesday afternoon and was talking to investigators.
"We're treating this as a child in danger, with the information we have," Chance said.

Chance said police have been called to the home before. This summer, officers served a search warrant at the home and found a variety of drugs inside.

Police K-9s, fire officials and deputies with the Cumberland County Sheriffs Office are searching the area. The dogs did not not pick up a scent. Chance said if the child was wandering around outside, the dogs would have picked up her scent immediately.

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.

Fayetteville police say three registered sex offenders live in the neighborhood. Theresa Chance said the offenders, along with everyone else in the neighborhood, have been interviewed.

The sex offenders are not considered suspects, Chance said.

Anyone with information is urged to call Fayetteville police at 910-433-1856 or call or call 911 or *HP.

I just don't see how she could have vanished..just thinking out loud..Her mom says she put her on the couch at 5:30, wonder if she was asleep or awake? I suppose someone could have tapped on the door or a window and she went over to look, opened the door or the door wasn't locked and they grabbed her. The trailor seems a bit worn so that is likely. The windows didn't look broken out, so she must of gone through the door.  How would they know she would be out there on the couch? Maybe that is where she slept normally and they saw her there before? I suppose that is possible. No scent? Maybe they wrapped her in a blanket and carried her out? hmmm could be I guess. I think her blanket would have her scent that the dogs would pick up? I guess a kidnapper could use his own blanket or sheet or something? Would they need to in order for there to be no scent? Not sure, anyone know?  Does a person need to touch the ground for their to be scent? How do you mask the scent of a person?

Thanks for the updates, so the dad flew in, so there goes thinking that perhaps he took her. Don't like what I'm seeing about the Dept of Social Services, and drugs in the house.

unfortunately i get the feeling this will be one of those kind of stories where she has been killed either by accident or by abuse and they lied and said she was missing but she prolly has been missing for a lil longer.....

Does that make any sense?

Its just what i think, very strange no scent, 530 am kid is up but mom is not? just seems weird, i guess their state doesnt require a vehicle description for Amber Alerts???

  Yes, I think that is what the outcome is going to be. I want to know more about the mom's boyfriend.

[Nut44x4]

IMO, this won't be a SO perp 

[sunshine12]

wow...i really think the mother knows more than she is saying.  why would she put the child on the couch at 5:30 am...this whole thing just does not pass the sniff test for me. especially now that i know CPS has some type of legal involvement.  i work for cps in another state and you have to have pretty good evidence and/or a lack of cooperation from the family if you want to take legal custody of a child or put a court order of cooperation in... it isn't as easy as everyone thinks. the laws unfortunately seem to protect the parents more than the children...

this is giving me flashbacks of the robert manwill case

[Tracygirl]

Yea I don't think this is a SO case either. Not the feeling I get. This reminds me of Roberts case too Sunshine

BTW, my children all wake up at the crack of dawn, yes sometimes at 5:30!. My husband calls them farm boys as if they are waking up to milk the cows, lol.

[my2cents]

Do we have a name for the mother or the boyfriend yet? Wonder if they have a record?....Something is not right here.....

Nancy Grace going to speak about Shaniya in a little bit.

I don't know the name of the boyfriend, and there was also a 7 year old in the house.

[sunshine12]

i just saw that there is a big body of water behind the trailer homes on nancy grace...i hope they get dive teams in there

[my2cents]

I can't believe that Nancy just spent the better part of an hour on that fake kidnapping story and only a few minutes on this beautiful baby girl...God be with Shaniya...

[pdh3]

I've got that awful, sick feeling again......a beautiful child, Mama has a live-in who is not the father, drugs....
This won't turn out well for that sweet little girl. I think the boyfriend did it.

I wonder if the 7 year old heard anything.
