11 years ago bradley lockhart's wife of 7 years, vickie sue coleman lockhart, was murdered. they had 3 children byron III (now 20-21... i've heard both ages... named for his grandfather), cheyenne (now 17), and chivas (now 13). these children have been raised by the colemans.
when mr. coleman heard about shaniya being sent to antoinette's, he offered to take her in permanently. he didn't want her around "the drug people." the colemans are a black family, so he would not have been holding antoinette's race against her.
when shaniya went missing, her grandfather and her 13-year-old half-brother searched for her. the colemans lost two daughters to murder.
when 28-year-old vickie sue was murdered on 3-3-98 her sister channel coleman (age 19) was with her. vickie sue, channel, and 24-year-old david lee epps were all bound, gagged and shot with a shot gun. two other victims thorsten malin and tyrone parker (both 21) survived the home invasion robbery that took place in the graham road duplex at 1 a.m.
vincent lee thomas and litdel burkhalter were convicted of this attack. both are in prison.

shaniya nicole davis, a princess
on 11-10-09, the world became aware of beautiful five-year-old shaniya davis when police in fayetteville, north carolina issued an amber alert. at 6:53 a.m. her mother, antoinette nicole davis, reported her missing saying she wandered off from 1116A sleepy hollow drive. she claims she last saw shaniya at 5:30 a.m. when she put shaniya on the couch. she says shaniya was wearing a blue sleep shirt and pink panties. shaniya is 3 feet (91 cm) tall and weighs 40 lbs. (18 kg). she has curly dark brown hair, brown eyes, and a scar on her left foot. she is mixed race. her mother is black and her father is white. she's a very pretty little girl with a light-up-the room smile.
police will later find that shaniya had only lived at this address since 10-10-09 even though her mother has lived there 6 months. a lunar month and a day later, shaniya is gone. and not back to her aunt carey lockhart-davis (a different davis) or her father bradley lockhart or any of her other caretakers in the upper middle class community she usually called home.
her father had her aunt take her to antoinette's "for the weekend." when carey tries to take shaniya back home, her mother won't let her go. the aunt doesn't have custody and bradley lockhart is away. he's a building contractor, then working in oregon (though he lives in fayetteville, n.c.). friends (the allens) visit shaniya and see cigarette burns on her arms. she says, "mommy's friends did it." I don't know if anyone passed this information to her father, but shockingly, no one calls the police. possibly they fear she'll just be placed in foster care? I don't know...
using dogs, the police quickly determined that shaniya did not walk out of the mobile home at 1116A sleepy hollow drive. yet 30-40 volunteers searched the area using dogs, helicopters, searching neighbors' cars and going door to door. the police find feces on the front porch railing.
next door, ms. moore tells them that she heard noises from antoinette's trailer at 3 a.m. she also saw someone put something in her trashcan. she identifies the feces-cover blanket the officers find as belonging to shaniya.
she may have been one of the people who let police know that antoinette's boyfriend clarence coe took care of shaniya more than her mother. antoinette accuses coe who is arrested 11-11-09 aand released 11-13-09. he has an alibi. he was babysitting his nephew somewhere else. witnesses confirm this.
antoinette has a 7 year old son. when police were called for shaniya, this son was taken from her. there had been child abuse complaints against before and the police see the trailer is, as the landlady says, "a pigsty." it is roped off as a crime scene.
brenda davis, antoinette's sister, also lived in the trailer with her 2-year-old child. she has since been evicted (11-19-09) for not paying rent. she and her mother, ann summers, are the only ones who say antoinette loved shaniya. brenda has a boyfriend, mario andrette macneill.
the amber alert turns up a video surveillance photo of mario carrying shaniya. it was taken at the elevator of comfort suites in sanford, n.c. at 6:11 a.m. on 11-10-09. this is 42 minutes before antoinette calls 911. shaniya appears to be wearing a dress. mario is also carrying something with black and white checks. at 7:30 a.m., mario and shaniya leave the hotel. it's known she's still alive at this point, but it's suspected she is now in worse shape physically than at 6:11. at this time, the amber alert is only 37 minutes long. no one on the scene knows shaniya shouldn't be with mario. the police say they have a person of interest, a 60-year-old man in a blue toyota.
shaniya's body is found, clad only in a t-shirt, on 11-16-09. she is found 100 feet off walker road (33 yards?) across the street from carolina trace, a gated community. she is laying among some deer carcasses (in black plastic trash bags). this location is 6-7 miles from comfort suites. it's on the lee-harnett county line, but on the lee side (shaniya lived in cumberland county). interesting as shaniya's last name could easily have been lockhart. hart means deer. jeff riccio of tarheel canine training inc. found shaniya. he says, "it was nothing anyone wanted to see."
the media have assumed the deer have been left by hunters. I DOUBT it. first, this location is too close to the road and houses to safely hunt. second, I have NEVER heard of a hunter doing such a thing. EVERY hunter I know would take the deer out of the woods. even rich hunters usually aren't so wasteful. they will take the deer to the slaughterhouse to be properly cut up (they will have already field dressed the animal after killing it) and they donate the meat to charity. in my state, leaving a deer like that will get you arrested. also, there are strict bag limits on deer. even if a particularly horrible person goes hunting... why the garbage bags? that's just weird. deer are big animals and a lazy wasteful person would just leave them, not drag them somewhere in a garbage bag.
mario andrette macneill, age 29, turned himself in before shaniya was found. 11 bags of evidence has been taken from his car. on 11-19-09 he's charged with 1st degree murder and 1st degree rape of a child.
antoinette davis was arrested 11-14-09. in court on 11-15-09 her bond was set at $51,000. before shaniya was found, antoinette was charged with human trafficking and felony child abuse including prostitution. additional charges are expected.
grief counselors and chaplains have been called in to work with investigators. these men have 15 and 22 1/2 years in l.e. they've seen murder victims. this case is EXTREMELY bad. the investigation continues...
I have more to post on this. shaniya's photos make one think of a sweet little princess. some very horrible people defiled her. why?

another wonderful life
well, folks, I have a dog, a cat, three cows, one bull, a horse, two ducks, and three chickens. we live on a happy little farm and i'm friends with the local sprites. of course, I am talking about harvest moon for gamecube! yay!
I found out about the coolest cheat. you plug your controller into the 3rd slot and press the z button numerous times. if you have a game cube. you have to be in the regular game, not paused or conversating (fox) and you get maaany cool items. BE SURE AND PUT THINGS YOU WANT TO KEEP ON THE SHELF OR IN THE COOLER as this cheat overwrites your inventory. and try to refrain from making yourself the richest farmer EVAH because after a while the game decides you have no gold and I don't know if you can change its mind. but i'm soldiering on in my "I like bears" outfit and pink shoes.
it's too bad you can't get people to pay you for picking flowers irl. well, hey, some people probably do get paid for that, but they are near more interesting flowers than me.
irl meanwhile, I have to clean this house and deal with my siblings. this is not as fun as feeding imaginary cows, I can tell you. although, real bunnies are the best critters ever! yay, bunnies.

alas
I am so missing my kickass satellite package daddy had us signed up on... even though MOST of the time he controlled the remote and he had a fondness for news, old-fashioned gospel music, westerns of all eras, and "hanna montana."
well, if they still made sitcoms, maybe he wouldn't have started watching the disney channel. and that is 100 percent my fault.
my nephew and niece-in-law arrived and they have three little girls. well, daddy was watching the news and it was discussing something that involved many people dying (this war we're in probably). so, panicked, I turned it on "hanna montana."
and, I have to say, if a person doesn't like reality shows or game shows... well, there is at least a story to it. also, his hearing wasn't that great any more so miley's singing didn't bother him. I heard one of her songs the other day and, I swear, I thought it was billy ray. seriously.
she sounds just like him. supposedly, she's not his biological daughter, but I don't know about that.
(sigh) I miss my father.

tommygirl, tommygirl, tommygirl
well, tom cruise is working on finding a sexy movie for himself and katiebot to co-star. why would he do this?
granted "days of thunder" (which I have not seen, but people say...) and "far and away" were fairy successful forays with nicole kidman. but then there was "eyes wide shut". this was a good movie, don't get me wrong. but i'm not sure it really fulfilled tommygirl's agenda.
so, proving he's a movie-picking genius, he is thinking about remaking "last tango in paris" with katie. what?
first, this is not a movie that needs remaking. there's just no reason for it.
some people think it's dated, but those same people would want real sex (i'm getting this from articles they've written). are tomkat sure they want to go there?
well, I suppose they could do the movie all in english instead of a mix of french and english (the french is subtitled in english). I suppose that would be different.
but, does tommygirl realize there's a difference between a movie with a lot of sex in it and a sexy movie?
basically, i'm finding out a lot of odd things as I prepare my "last tango in paris" post. haha

kstew n rpatt: brando fans?!
well, "brando" is misleading. actually, their favorite movie is "last tango in paris". they (cough) "bonded" due to this. hehehehe
ok. I am working on a post about that very movie. I can tell you, marlon brando throws down hardcore with the acting. not that everyone notices that because his costar is mostly naked and there is a lot of sex.
oh yes, BACK ON TOPIC... wtf do kstew and rpatt learn from brando? it just boggles the mind. they can't be trying to learn how to act, can they?
all I can say is start with someone easier. I don't think marlon brando's style can really be learned. I think you kind of have to be him.
fortunately, I think they're just getting sex idea. or maybe they're learning french.

atonement or not...
right after my previous post about the movie "atonement" I checked the internet to find out what I missed. perhaps seeing it in the movie wouldn't be such a let down as reading it, but here goes...
SPOILER WARNING! if, for some reason, you desire to see the movie "atonement" be advised: spoilers. also, I did check multiple sources, but I can't say of everything that I "sarw" it with my own eyes.
o.k., so here's the thing. there's no atonement in this movie. I haven't read the book so perhaps some atonement happens in it. if not, wtf? did someone just think this was a neat sounding word?
basically, there's a rich family. when the housekeeper's husband ran off, the rich folks educated her son. his name is robbie and he wants to be a doctor.
the rich people have a son (oldest), a chain-smoking college coed daughter (robbie's love interest), and a daughter who's 12 or so and fancies herself a writer.
they also have houseguests. a sleazy college buddy of the son. their three red-haired cousins have arrived to weather the scandal of their parents' divorce. so, two bratty boys and their catty 15-year-old sister.
so our snoopy writer first sees her sister and robbie out by the fountain. to her, it appears that robbie somehow made sis strip down to her slip and go into the fountain before she leaves. a very strange thing to do and, of course, not really what happened. the sister did all that on her own and was only annoyed that a vase got broken.
then robbie writes to apologize. he indulges hs lustful fantasies before scrawling out his apology and, naturally, he puts the wrong letter in the envelope. then he gets the snoop the deliver it. too late, he realizes what he gave her. his letter worked wonders on the sister who promptly sexes him up in the library.
alas, the older sister failed to do damage control about the letter and she also fails to lock the door. so, the snoop is figuring robbie is a sex maniac.
then, the bratty twins are found to have run away. the household turns out to shine flashlights into the darkness and yell the boys' names.
the snoop wandering about on her own comes across a shocking scene. some man doing someTHING to the girl cousin. the girl cousin claims she doesn't know who it was, but the snoop is positive it was robbie.
so police are summoned, the snoop swears out testimony, the older sister says not to believe her and takes a long smokebreak, then the snoop presents the LETTER as evidence. meanwhile, the the sleazy male houseguest takes a post rape snooze. no one finds his behavior odd.
when robbie shows up with the twins (having cleverly searched somewhere other than the front yard), he's immediately arrested and dragged off to jail.
years pass and england gets involved in the beginnings of world war ii. both sisters (separately) spend some time in the nursing program. but somehow for the snoop this is a bigger deal because she "gave up her place at cambridge to do something practical." (yes, no one else has ever given anything up because of a huge, massive war.)
and then nothing until after 20 best sellers, she writes about this incident. it's something like 1999. her sister and robbie both died during the war. by this time, practically everyone they ever knew has died. and miss snoop, with one foot in the grave, writes a book explaining to no one in particular that robbie was innocent all along. she even has found out that her cousin is marrying the sleazy rapist.
she made up the scene where she told the truth so robbie and her sister would have "the happy ending they never got." even though it meant he died with a rape conviction to his name and she died estranged for her family for what they did to robbie.
so, what is the point we're supposed to get anyway?

groceries in time
today I went to the doctor. then, I went to get my prescription filled and buy some groceries.
now, I used to work retail. I have some sympathy for some of the things retail employees must endure and I realize that sometimes things just take a while. after all, no one can run every minute. however, people ought to be able to move.
I have never seen anyone who wasn't badly injured or very old or both move as slowly as this woman at the pharmacy counter. she even paused in looking for my medicine in the wrong place to clean invisible dust off her shirt.
I didn't say anything because I knew better than to even start. plus, it took her fully two minutes to realize she was helping me now, not the woman behind me.
of course, I don't know what that crazy thing was doing back there. she came in and declared where people were checking out was the drop off. unfortunately, she didn't take her bothersome self over to where she thought the action was.
no, she decided to stand right on top of me and the credit card reader while she talked to someone in the car as well as her new bff miss slowpoke.
the people on the other pharmacy cash registers were just as slow. I don't know how it's possible to move at such an unnaturally slow pace.
the pharmacists were moving fairly quickly. so, I think some sort of time travel was occurring. whatever it was it extended over to regular checkout.
now, produce codes are something cashiers have to learn. it's much faster to know them than to try to figure them out. so, here I am trying to recall the codes because i'm not sure the cashier could look them up. I don't know if she was new or what, but it took forever and I got such unique items as an apple and two oranges (in separate bags). everything else I bought (about 25 more item) had a barcode on it.
anyway, I guess the point of this story is this store (kroger) better get on their agame with a quickness because they have officially become more of a pain in the butt than walmart.

doorbells and the movie "atonement"
so, I am sitting through atonement which is just interesting enough to make me wonder what happened. after much annoying time manipulation, we come to the interview with the old bat where we learn a scene we just suffered through only happened in theory. actually something else took place and (doorbell).
yes, the doorbell rang and by the time I got back to the movie, the credits were rolling. I am not sitting through that thing again.
every character caught up in the central plot is thoroughly unlikeable. but still, I wonder, what happened? what did the old bat reveal? most likely that her atonement was only wishful thinking or something equally tedious.
hopefully the internets will reveal the answer. but, don't you just hate when that happens? and it's always the movie they're NOT replaying 75 times/day that gets interrupted.

every character caught up in the central plot is thoroughly unlikeable. but still, I wonder, what happened? what did the old bat reveal? most likely that her atonement was only wishful thinking or something equally tedious.

first holiday
halloween was the first holiday without my father. for us halloween was just handing out candy to the kids who came by trick or treating (i know some places don't do that any more, but kids here still do). granted, last year, daddy mostly just sat on the couch while I handled candy distribution, but still.
I did hand out candy last night. I had to knock off early because i'm sick, but I made it through most of the festivities. we didn't have as many kids as usual (we usually have A LOT).
i'm not sure if people have caught on this neighborhood isn't the candy haven it used to be or if some people skipped me on purpose because, well... people know my father's funeral was earlier this month.
there is one happy thing: my super cute black bunny is officially one year older! i'm not sure how old he is... 3 or 4. bunnies always seem young, they're so cute. happy birthday, precious boy. :)
