NC - Shaniya Davis, 5, missing from her home 11/10/09 #4

[trigger]

It doesn't sound like she was there at all. Didn't the landlady say she didn't know the girl? Or am I getting that wrong? The dogs didn't pick up her scent outside which is really strange. I don't know. This whole case is weird and making my head hurt.

They moved in August. See article from HLN, from reporter Michelle Sigona:

Barbara says Antoinette Davis, Shaniya’s mother, applied to live in the mobile home park, but Barbara says her application was denied. Only Antoinette and a 5-year-old boy were listed on the initial application. Barbara says Brenda Davis, Antoinette’s sister, also put in an application at the same time application was accepted. That application only listed Brenda Davis and her son as potential renters. It was quite a surprise for Barbara to later learn that in addition to Brenda Davis and her son, Antoinette, her boyfriend, Antoinette’s 5-year-old son, Shaniya, and an infant were also living in the home. Barbara says she doesn’t know who the infant belongs to because at the time the women turned in their applications, neither one appeared to be pregnant. Barbara also says that mobile home was not raided in July 2009, because it was vacant at the time (There are reports that claim the property was raided in July 2009, I have calls into police to verify what property was raided over the summer).

I'm educated but Coe's comment has me scratching my head. Maybe I'm trying to read too much into the words itself. "....never in the livingroom'? does that mean, never, ever in the livingroom? or never left in the livingroom to sleep? or what? So, the little girl was never in the livingroom in the daytime and never in the livingroom at night? What?:waitasec: I guess I'm not educated enough to figure this out. So, I'm thinking that he is saying that the little girl was not taken from the couch. IMO, not taken at all but given.

Yes, despite not being at the mh at the time I think Coe is saying that he found the mother's story--that she "put Shaniya out on the couch in the living room"--not credible to him. That he'd never known her to put Shaniya out in the living room.

Yes it doesn't say when Davenport figured out that Shaniya (her mother, et al) was staying there. But evidently it must have been recently, w/in last 3 weeks.

I agree,i remember reading the boyfriend was pacing and appeared more upset than the mother.

Noticed in the latest Fayetteville Observer article that McNeil's girlfriend was at the hearing.

His lawyer also states McNeil had no previous history with the girl's family members or Coe.

ok that what his lawyer said.....LE didn't say that.

if that true where did he see Shaniya...who is he connect to in the park:banghead:

Coe did not mention anything about McNeil...I guessing that the reporter didn't ask if he knew McNeil??

We might hear more from Coe....pretty sure a network wants his story.
I bet his phone is ringing off the hook.

 

[not_my_kids]

I can't tell you what Coe meant, but I can tell you that if he is part of this, I would believe that Shaniya may be dead. He has no connection to her. Zip. He could be talking about a tee shirt he misplaced.

I hope and pray that there is family somewhere on the mother's side that is more attached. I doubt it more all the time though. The info that she had only been with her mother a few weeks, the lack of emotion from everyone on the mother's side, it speaks volumes.

I am glad to see them humanizing the father, that is what they needed to do a few days ago, IMO. Now they need to really lay it on the good qualities of her father, there is a chance that someone still has her and is listening.
I bet there are a lot of authorities in Fayetteville wishing they had a time machine right about now. I sure would be if I were in their shoes.

I'm gonna take a stab at being an educated person.

1 - Coe says Mom had nothing to do with the kidnapping.

2 - Coe said there was some negligence on Mom's part.

3 - Coe said in the whole time he was there (3 weeks Shaniya was there) that Shaniya was *never* sleeping on the couch. Something happened - something big and unusual - that Mom put her on the couch that morning.

4 - The neighbor said Coe was walking around and seemed angry.

5 - Coe is saying figure it out. He's saying we *can* figure it out. He just doesn't want to say. It's nasty.

So what scenario fits all these factors?

My guess:

Mom's negligence was not watching Shaniya closely enough with McNeil. In the middle of the night, Mom caught McNeil molesting Shaniya. She put Shaniya on the couch. A fight ensued. McNeil took Shaniya.

Fits all factors.

My guess/MOO.

 

[panthera]

Maybe he wanted some couple time with his fiancee? I know that sounds bad, but he may have thought sending Shaniya to her mother for a while would be good for the mother/daughter and also good for him/fiancee.

That thought crossed my mind also.

 

[kiki the parrot]

Wasn't this woman involved in a drug raid not too long ago?

SHollow MH Mgr Davenport denies there was ever a raid there as that mh wasn't even occupied in July--BDavis didn't move in there until August.

[not_my_kids]

There is a person with the AA name that has a myspace, from NC. There is nothing to it, no pictures or anything. It is private, and it was last logged into the day before Shaniya went missing. Like maybe it was needed for communication purposes and then abandoned when it was not needed anymore.

Just one more thing I need to chew over. I am sure LE has this and has checked the messages section. Or should it be called in, just in case? I'm sure they thought of this, but...

McNeil's girlfriend's name is April Autry

So if he's no longer in a relationship with Shaniya's aunt, or according to his lawyer's report, doesn't even have a connection with Shaniya's family, why was he in the motel with Shaniya at 6:11am? He's got to be connected to them somehow. And if he is an ex-boyfriend, why would he be taking Shaniya? (Back to my drugs and money theory ~ MOO).

I think this MH Manager is also the one who said she saw Coe drive off with the girl when Coe was no where around.
Bet she gets sued.

 

[mycroft]

What is he trying to say here?

"I've been asked that by 13 detectives and everybody, I don't know and I tell you like I told the detectives, I don't think the mother had anything to do with it," he said. "Do I feel there might have been some negligence somewhere, yes I do."

Coe says Antionette Davis, the child's mother, was his girlfriend and he says he wasn't at the mobile home when the child disappeared.

"Every day I was there the little girl was never in the living room," Coe said. "Every night when I slept there the little girl was never in the living room, so all I can say is educated people figure it out."

AKAIK, it's only a two bedroom trailer. Therefore, I interpret this to mean that Shaniya usually slept in the room with her Aunt when he was at the home. That makes sense because, even if she usually slept with her mother, it would be inappropriate to have a young girl in the bedroom while her mother was having a man over in the same bedroom. He's pointing the finger directly at the Aunt IMO.

ETA: I note he refers to day as well. I think perhaps he's suggesting that the aunt was keeping the girl confined in her bedroom. Wow.

So if he's no longer in a relationship with Shaniya's aunt, or according to his lawyer's report, doesn't even have a connection with Shaniya's family, why was he in the motel with Shaniya at 6:11am? He's got to be connected to them somehow. And if he is an ex-boyfriend, why would he be taking Shaniya? (Back to my drugs and money theory ~ MOO).

IMO, it's a stranger abduction.

 

[mysticrose]

I have to say the fact that this little girl had only been with this mother for 3-4 weeks and now is gone is disturbing.

Shaniya with mom only the past 3-4 weeks

BF Coe is saying this little girl was never in the living room to sleep in all the time he had been over visiting or spending the night.

He says that Shaniya's mother he feels has nothing to do with what has happened, but mom says Shaniya was on the couch was out of the norm according to Coe so Mom is lying.

Shaynia's aunt's ex-boyfriend is the one who took the little girl and has admitted to it but not kiddnapping .

Looking at the pictures of Shanyia it would look to me that maybe dad is fairly well off, or at least making ends meet and perhaps a little money left over to put away or spend on Shaniya.

3-4 weeks ?

In My opinion I think Mom and Sis are in on this with McNeill, not quite sure of the motive here.

Are they trying or were trying to somehow get money out of dad ? (no I don't think that one works)
Are they working on the assumption they could plan this out start getting media coverage, perhaps some money to roll in for the missing child ?

I think that blanket was put in that trashcan on purpose to throw LE off in believing something worse had happened.

I think mom screwed up on when to call the police, something happened to change the time for the call. Did the 7 year old wake up sooner then expected and start asking where Shaniya was ? Or perhaps the Aunts BF ?

Of course Moo....

 

[panthera]

AGREE!!!! (I was trying to get inside dad's head there for a minute but this is the bottom line!!!)

Thanks, kiki ~ I'm really struggling with being tactful tonight!

 

[Busylady]

They are hitting all the threads and posting that pic for some reason. I wouldn't quote it will give the mods less to clean up.

 

[mommya]

What the hell is that?

 

[mayelf]

Did they release what hotel it is or the address for it?

 

[SuziQ]

Coe is saying the couch story is bs and that mom gave the baby away. Btw, I'm not too happy with dad right now. The entire story of him wanting baby mama to be a mama is bs. More like he wanted a break or stepmom or stepgf did. He's crying now? He should be. There is now way he could have seen moms situation and not seen train wreck!
