The body of Shaniya Davis has been found in Sanford,North Carolina just a few moments ago says Theresa Chance, public information officer of the Fayetteville Police Department. The search recently became focused on land in Sanford after police received reliable information indicating that the child's body had been dumped on land in that city. Investigators had been searching for Shaniya for several days.
Police have charged the girl's mother, Antoinette Nicole Davis, with trafficking and other offenses, authorities said. Davis was "prostituting her child," Chance said.
Searchers found Shaniya's body off a road approximately 45 minutes ago after searching in woods with four-wheelers, water and by air.
Syd Severe, 42, who came down from Raleigh to help in the search, said he doesn't believe in the death penalty but feels the culprits in this case deserve it.
"We were hoping that someone could carry her home," Severe said. "It's just sick."
Shaniya Davis' father, Bradley Lockhart, said he raised his daughter for several years but last month decided to let her stay with her mother after Antoinette Davis had appeared to have gotten her life together.
He was quoted having told an Associated Press reporter "I should have never let her go over there."
The staff of the Black Urban Times sends out their deepest condolences to the family of Shaniya Davis.
