A 5 year-old girl named Shaniya Nicole Davis, who had been reported missing last Tuesday (November 10), was found dead in Sanford, N.C., about 30 miles from where she currently lived with her mother, Antoinette Nicole Davis, in Fayetteville on Monday (November 16).

The 29 year-old Mario Andrette McNeil, who had been identified as the man caught with the girl in a security video at the Comfort Suites Hotel, was promptly arrested and charged with first-degree kidnapping on Friday (November 13). On Saturday, the mother was also arrested on accusations that she “knowingly provide[d] Shaniya Davis with the intent that she be held in sexual servitude” and she “permit[ted] an act of prostitution.” (mug shots below)

The girl’s father Bradley Lockhart and his sister Carey Lockhart-Davis took care of Shaniya until last month, when her mother finally got a stable job and a place of her own. Both father and aunt made an emotional appeal to whoever had the girl to bring her back safe on CBS’s ‘Early Show’ this morning (watch video below).
