Neighbors of missing 5-year-old knew little about family

Police have no new leads in the case of a missing 5-year-old girl in Fayetteville, according to a watch commander this afternoon.

Shaniya Davis was last seen about 5:30 a.m. Tuesday at her home at 1116-A Sleepy Hollow Drive, police said.

The last person to see her was her mother, who called police at 6:53 a.m. to report her child missing.

The home is in Sleepy Hollow Mobile Home Park.

There was little activity among the single-wide trailers this afternoon. A single police officer was parked at the bottom of Sleepy Hollow Drive.

Neighbors say the mother of the missing girl was quiet, and several said they didn't know her very well. The park is beside what appears to be a large dump site and is surrounded by woods.

On a clothes line in front of the girl's home are clothes that were left outside.

Shaniya was last seen wearing a dark blue shirt and pink panties, police said.

Shaniya's father is out-of-town and not considered a suspect, said Theresa Chance, a police spokeswoman.

Two other children lived at the residence, she said. One is a 7-year-old boy, but Chance refused to disclose the gender and age of the other child.

why would she not disclose information about the other child? Is that strange to anyone?

Wyks, oh my God. I have never heard of sewage in a tub.

Yeah..

When my sons and I moved into a house in rural NE Nebraska, it had an old sewer system thingy outside.  First day one of my sons flushed the commode, and sewage came up into the tub and sink. Called a plumber, who skedaddled out there, and climbed down into the sewer.  Said there was a possum who had managed to find it's way in there, had been in there for some time.  Ugh.  Poor thing.  Plumber said sewage will back up like that into the tub and sinks when something is clogging the sewer thingy outside. 

  I don't even want to think about that. But if it was condemned, it would have to be something else that has blocked the sewer to have sewage in the tub, I pray.

That is strange

luvmyboys You are very welcome.  Glad I could help out.

Wykes good thought about wetting the bed, that could explain why she was put on the couch. I was thinking she was sleeping with her mom in her room but was being restless which could have angered the BF? But the bed wetting makes sense and could lend itself to a motive. God knows people get upset at kids for wetting the bed like they can stop from doing it. 

Funny, when I did an adress search Antoinette didn't come up. I wonder if she was living with relatives?

I dunno why it seems some folks get mad at kids for wetting the bed.  From what I understand about that, a child is rarely awake when that happens.  Not like a child would do that on purpose just to make the parent/caretaker angry.  Was thinking this in Haleigh's case early on, when we were speculating as to what may have happened.  I agree with you, TG, it's not like a child can stop from doing that.  I don't think they can help it.  And pointless for a parent to get angry.  I can understand frustrated, calling the doc, getting ideas on how to help the child.  IMO. 

Haven't tried doing searches by name or address yet.  Over yonder they have been digging and coming up with stuff.  An arrest back in 2007, looks like drugs, IIRC.  Might want to recheck.  Antoinette Davis - might be spelled Antwanette.  They've come up with a myspace for an Antwanette, and another site (which doesn't look like the same mom).  Are you using this for the address search?  116-A Sleepy Hollow Drive, Fayetteville NC.   Might be able to check some sites along with ya, here in a bit.

Oooooooops correction on the address I just gave.  From the news link, the address is:
1116-A Sleepy Hollow Drive

The blanket was found in the trash bin, three spaces or so down, at 1119. 

[Wyks]

Very strange, yes!   The other child is an infant, that's the only news/rumor I've read so far about that.  Dunno yet who that infant belongs to.

1116-A Sleepy Hollow Drive

Just adding that 1119 might be across the street.  Might be right next door, altho these are even/odd addresses. 


Anyone else having problems with SM loading slooooooooooowly?  Might need to reboot.  Will be back later.

"Moore said she was awakened by noises outside her home at about 3 a.m. Tuesday.

"It sounded like somebody was beating," she said.

She went back to sleep but was awakened later by police saying they were confiscating her trash can because it contained evidence in the disappearance of her young neighbor.

"Every time I think about it, it upsets me," she said. "The idea that this baby was missing is bad in itself, but actually feeling like I had something to do with it, that's pretty hard to deal with, this evidence being in my trash can."

Moore said she has no idea how the blanket got into her garbage can. She said police told her it was covered in feces and that feces were also found on the back porch of Davis' home."

Thank-you Wyks and Klaas. I don't even want to imagine what the neighbor must be feeling about the blanket being in her trash 

[Wyks]

You're welcome Rosie! 

Wonder if the neighbor meant beating of a person, or a kind of beating on the wall or what?  If of a person, why wouldn't she have called 911? 

I really hope that the feces on the blanket and the back porch have to do with the sewage problem in the tub, and nothing to do with any kind of beating.   

Over yonder, it's being said that either on the local news or HLN, that LE has surveillance videos that show adults from the home coming out of the house and looking around.  Evidently it was during that time frame.

Shaniya was born on Valentine's Day.   February 14th, 2004

This is just Heartbreaking and I have to say sickening about the blanket being covered in feces.. It looks as though the timeline the mother reported is full of BS let alone what happen that morning.. This doesnt look good at all but I hope and pray Shaniya is found safe. I wonder when was the last time DCF was at the home and if the report will be release.

That beating info is disturbing  I sure hope the feces is from the sewage problem, but why throw the blanket in a neighbor's trash, do they not have their own trash bin?

[Jerseygirl345]

HLN..

Neighbor heard noises and sound like someone was being beaten 3am.

Why didnt she call the police or look at side to see what was going on???

Barbara who managers the trailor park area had surveillence put up and police are reviwing the tapes. Also Antonette davis was not approved for the trailor park at 1116 Sleepy Hollow but her sister was approved her name I believe that was mention was the name Brenda.

This case reminds me of the little 4 yr old boy, Wyatt Smitsky, in PA... who drowned in a septic tank, back in Sept.  It has not been ruled yet whether the boy’s death was accidental or a homicide.  Although the cover to the septic tank had been replaced.  Surely he couldn't have done that himself.  His siblings were taken from the parents when Wyatt's body was found.  But authorities have just reunited them with their parents.
