Shaniya Davis Autopsy

Shaniya Davis Autopsy: Hoping to find cause of death, Since Shaniya Nicole Davis’s disappearance, there have been public plee’s by father and aunt to bring the girl back to safety, but after a tip off to the police, 5-year-old Shaniya’s body was recovered on Walker Road, off N.C. Highway 87.

The autopsy of Shaniya is set to take place in Chapel Hill at the North Carolina Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, and officials are hoping that the cause of death will make itself clear when the autopsy is complete. A press conference was cancelled in the light of new evidence in the case.

The body of Shaniya, was found in the woods, buried in a thick area of brush and trees. Deer carcasses are usually thought to be dumped here occasionally. She was possibly taken here so that the body could have decomposed, or so that predators could have devoured the evidence. This is only speculation, though.

The mother of the 5-year-old, who is currently in custody for human trafficking and child abuse involving prostitution, amongst other felonies had recently been given permission by the father of the child to take care of her, as it was he that brought her up with the help of Shaniya’s aunt.

When the girl was kidnapped from her home in Fayetteville at around 5.30am, she appeared on a hotel security camera, approximately 30 miles away, being held by a man thought to be Mario Andrette McNeill, who is in custody and has admitted to taking the child, but will strongly plead not-guilty to kidnap.
