“Authorities in North Carolina have found the body of a 5-year-old girl reported missing by her mother, who has since been charged with human trafficking and child abuse involving prostitution.
Shaniya Davis was found around noon in Lee County, NC, on Walker Road near Highway 87, according to the Fayetteville Police Department. The girl was found about 7 miles from a hotel in Sanford where she was last seen, officials said.
Earlier in the day, Fayetteville Police spokeswoman Theresa Chance said officers were searching along the highway based on “reliable information” that indicated that Davis’ body may have been dumped there.
Police had previously believed they would find the girl alive. About 200 searchers fanned across several miles southeast of Sanford. Some walked along roads, ravines and fields while others drove on four-wheelers.”

Arshon Baker, 5, is dead because he wanted his mother’s attention. Now Angel Glass faces murder and abuse charges, according to Lt. Thomas Stacho, of the Cleveland Police Department.
Police interviewed Glass on Friday night after Arshon was rushed to MetroHealth from their house in the 6600 block of Ovington Road, Stacho said.
“She said she was in her apartment doing another woman’s hair when the boy pulled on her dress to get her attention,” Stacho said. “She ordered him to stand in the corner. After a few minutes, he came out of the corner, so she said she took a brush and beat him on his hands.
“When that didn’t work, she took a braided belt and hit him with it,” Stacho said. “She said the boy ran away and she grabbed him and continued to beat him.”
Glass took her son to the hospital after being hit on the head after losing responsiveness.
