FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (AP) - Police in North Carolina say more charges are coming in the case of a missing 5-year-old girl whose body was found dumped along a wooded road.
Fayetteville police spokeswoman Theresa Chance said Tuesday that more charges are pending but she did not say what they are or who will face them.
Shaniya Davis was found dead Monday, nearly a week after mother Antoinette Davis reported her missing. Police say Davis is charged with human trafficking and felony child abuse, allegedly for selling Shaniya into sex slavery.
Police also charged Mario McNeill with kidnapping after he was captured on a hotel's surveillance video carrying Shaniya. McNeill's lawyer has said his client will plead not guilty.
Police say an autopsy is being conducted to determine how Shaniya died.
