Mother said Josh Powell threatened her
SANFORD, N.C., Nov. 13 (UPI) -- A 29-year-old man captured on video with missing 5-year-old Shaniya Davis at a hotel in Sanford, N.C., has been arrested, police said.
The Fayetteville (N.C.) Observer said while police arrested the man, identified as Mario Andrette McNeill, on Friday, Davis is still missing.
Surveillance video showed McNeill carrying Davis into a Sanford hotel on Tuesday.
Davis was reported missing from her family's trailer in a Fayetteville, N.C., mobile home park by her mother early Tuesday morning.
Police allege McNeill, who served four years in prison for a felony assault, confessed to kidnapping Davis.
Police said based on new information discovered by investigators, kidnapping charges will be dropped against Clarence Darriel Coe, who was suspected of taking Davis from the Sleepy Hollow Mobile Home Park.
The Observer said an unidentified witness allegedly saw Cole, who was released from jail Friday, drive away from the Fayetteville home Tuesday with Davis in his vehicle.
