and tonight live, north carolina, a little 5-year-old girl vanishes without a trace. mommy tells police she left the girl on the sofa 5:30 a.m. one hour later the baby's gone. how does a 5-year-old girl go missing from her own sofa? the child wearing nothing but a t-shirt and underwear. shaniya's favorite blanket found discarded, covered in feces, in the neighbor's trash. after grainy surveillance video surfaces of a 29-year-old man carrying the child in a local hotel, the search for baby shaniya comes to an end. police find her little body hidden in dense woods. the man, the man in the video, mario mcneill, confesses to taking shaniya to the hotel but then clams up. in a heart-wrenching and disgusting twist, shaniya's own mother behind bars for selling the little girl for sex.

was 5-year-old shaniya's life nothing more than a payment on a drug debt? tonight we learn the mother has been moved, moved from her jail cell to another facility for her own safety. are the other inmates threatening to tear her apart? and tonight in a primetime exclusive shaniya's father with us live taking your calls. >> shaniya davis was raped and murdered the day she went missing. >> look at the surveillance tapes. look how sweet she is. and this guy raped her and allegedly killed her? asphyxiating her and then dumping her body with deer carcasses? >> sir, you're mario mcneill? you're charged with first-degree

murder. in the state of north carolina has punishable by the death penalty. >> my guess is that he accidentally killed her while he was raping her. you know, little children are just annoying that way. when you rape them, they tend to object, so you have to do something like smother them or strangle them. >> i cannot think of a more gruesome way to accomplish murder. and this is just outrageous. >> you guys knew antoinette. how could she just hand the baby over, byron? >> and that's something, i mean, it's hard to believe a mother would just hand a child over to a complete -- i don't know. >> there may have been the possibility that he she owed him money. and there have been thoughts that this -- the child being handed off to him may have been some kind of payment. >> more charges will follow. so we can only assume that those charges will also add up on the two people that they have in custody.

>> me and everybody that loved poor shaniya, my little baby, my angel, the strength to continue on. >> good evening. i'm nancy grace. i want to thank you for being with us. tonight, live, windermere, florida, golf phenomenon tiger woods in a 2:00 a.m. smashup. after reports hit the newsstand of an alleged affair with a nightclub hostess. woods's wife reportedly beats out both back windows of woods's cadillac to "save him." but now woods refusing to talk to police not once, not twice, but three times. and why did a neighbor have to call 911? we have the 911 call.

>> in and out of consciousness with lacerations to his upper and lower lip with a little bit of blood in his mouth. but he was conscious enough to be able to speak a little bit. >> tiger woods stirring up a lot of attention with his silence this morning. for the third straight time failed to meet with police about that suv crash outside his home. his lawyer now telling the florida highway patrol woods will not be chatting with them anytime soon. >> his wife came out of the house when she heard the accident, him hitting the fire hydrant, used a golf club, is what we were told, to break out the rear window to gain entrance into the vehicle, removed him from the vehicle and laid him down in the street. >> "my wife elin acted courageously when she saw i was hurt and in trouble," woods said. "she was the first person to help me. any other assertion is

absolutely false." >> right now i want to go straight out to our guests on the tiger woods story. first to drew ppetrimeaux with wdbo radio. what's the latest? >> the latest is tiger woods again refused to speak to police about what happened that night -- >> why? >> it's really his right to do that. because it was on private property and because no one was hurt and there's no charges alleging wrongdoing he doesn't have to speak to investigators -- >> no. mr. petrimoulx, i didn't ask you where it happened. i'm just asking you why he doesn't want to talk to police. >> he's only citing his privacy. he hasn't said much. only thing he's issued is statements he's made through his lawyer and on his website, and what he's said is he wants to keep his privacy on that. his lawyer has said it's his right ton speak.

and right now that's what he's exercising. >> give me the timeline, drew petrimoulx. what happened? >> early morning hours after thanksgiving tiger woods was involved in this crash. about 2:30 he left his house. police aren't sure why he -- >> whoa, whoa, whoa. nobody knows where he was going at 2:30 a.m.? drew petrimoulx, i have told many a jury, nothing good happens after midnight. all right? so we don't have any idea where he's going at 2:30 a.m.? >> no. like i said, everybody that's close to tiger woods is being tight-lipped about what happened. but what did -- we know that did happen is that he hit a fire hydrant, hit a tree. the neighbor called 911, said he was unconscious. his wife told police that she smashed out the back window with a golf club to help tiger woods out and she actually pulled him out and saved him. police showed up, and that's basically what we know now.

>> okay. to maxine paige, senior news editor radaronline.com. let's go back over to scenario, maxine paige. first of all, how far away from his home was woods when he had a head-on collision with a tree and a fire hydrant. >> it was very close. it was just outside his house. >> i understand it was about two houses away. >> correct. it was a neighbor's house, yes. >> so he was two houses away, but his wife says she heard him hit a tree two houses away from inside tiger woods's home? >> that's what she says, yes. >> okay. now, she hears the crash, according to her, and she races out with a golf club? >> there's been two conflicting stories. one story, she said she ran out. in the other story she said she actually drove a golf cart. but yeah, she appeared on the scene way golf club and smashed in the back window of the suv. >> wait, wait, wait, wait. maxine paige with us, senior news editor radaronline.com. maxine. >> yes. >> you said two conflicting

stories. from where are they coming? who's giving conflicting statements? >> she has. elin has. two different statements. she said first of all that she ran there. in the second statement she said she was in a golf cart. >> and with her she happened to bring a golf club? >> very handy. she brought a golf club with her, yes. >> and maxine paige, she beat out the back windows of the vehicle in order to pull him out of the driver's front -- the driver's seat? >> correct. apparently, she smashed out the back window, got into the car, and pulled him out. >> okay. maxine, one more clarification. it's my understanding she smashed out both back windows, right and left. yes, no? >> yes. correct. >> why? why smash out both windows? >> that's the question. i mean, it seems like excessive force. also, to smash the back windows

in seemed strange when he was in the front. but yeah, she smashed out both back windows. >> okay. maxine paige with us from radaronline.com. we are taking your calls live. stay with us. >> his wife came out of the house when she heard the accident, him hitting the fire hydrant. used a golf club, is what we were told, to break out the rear window to gain entrance into the vehicle, removed him from the vehicle and laid him down in the street.

woods may not be talking to police, but they say they aren't

through investigating that one-car accident over the thanksgiving weekend. as for the third straight day, tiger and his wife, elin, turned away police who want odd to interview him about it. under florida law he doesn't have to talk to them. the accident occurred as woods ran his suv over a fire hydrant and then crashed into a tree. >> tiger woods' minor traffic accident has really stirred things up and has morphed into a kind of a strange match play between the golfing phenom and the florida highway patrol. and it's not over yet. >> we were the first responding agency under mutual aid, which we have with orange county. when we arrived, we had a call the accident, which is a signal 4, with injuries. my two officers arrived at the scene and noticed tiger woods laying on the ground in front of his vehicle with his wife over him rendering first aid. my officers immediately exited their vehicles, went to mr. woods, and began rendering first aid to him at that time. >> we are taking your calls live. i want to go to ellie jostad, our chief editorial producer.

ellie, exactly what were his injuries? where about the neck, the face, the head, the shoulders were the injuries? >> right. well, the florida highway patrol is saying on the record only that he was breathing from his mouth. tiger woods in his own statement said that he had cuts, bruises, and he was very sore. and that's all we know about his injuries. >> bleeding from the mouth. ellie, did he have to go to the hospital? >> he did go to the hospital. he was treated and released from the hospital. he spent a little bit of time there. they said he was released in under 12 hours. and although in the initial police press release his injuries were described as serious, later he said they weren't as serious as anticipated. >> did his wife go with him to the hospital? >> that is a good question, nancy. i haven't seen any reporting either way on that. >> to drew petrimoulx, wdbo radio, joining us there near woods's home, windermere, florida. did his wife go with him to the hospital? >> you know, i haven't heard any reporting on this. but many reporters that were

staked out at the hospital and at his house, i would imagine that somebody would have seen her go inside of the hospital. but i haven't heard anything direct on that. >> okay. unleash the lawyers. joining us tonight, felony prosecutor eleanor odom. also with us, lauren lake, defense attorney joining us out of cincinnati, ohio. and veteran defense attorney, trial lawyer peter odom, atlanta jurisdiction. eleanor, i, as you know, although i can't play golf, am a huge tiger woods fan. so this is not about tiger woods. what i'm wondering is was there a police report such as striking a fixed object? i know if i ran into a fire hydrant and a tree the police would be talking to me. all right? >> of course they would, nancy. and you may very well be charged and you may be -- >> charged? i'd have a breathalyzer. i'd be, you know, given my rights. i can't even cash a check at the grocery store. okay? without all this i.d. so where is the charge of

striking a fixed object? >> it's not there. but what's good about this is maybe the florida highway patrol can do some accident reconstruction and really find out some answers to these questions. was he speeding, for instance? what happened? they can do that with some reconstruction. >> to sergeant scott haines, sheriff's officer santa rosa county, florida. striking a fixed object. why would you run over not just a fire hydrant, run over it to my understanding, and then crash into a tree? explain. >> well, that's a good question. there had to be something that caused him to lose control of his vehicle and to strike those objects. and why he isn't trying to explain that, i don't know. but his injuries could definitely tell as well as what's present inside the car or whether there's blood in the car and the damage that was sustained. they can definitely reconstruct that to see if his injuries are consistent with that crash. >> joining me right now is a special guest out of columbus, georgia, dr. robert c. cartwright. dr. cartwright, thank you for

joining us. dr. cartwright, if -- why can't we see the hospital report? there are reasons. >> well, certainly there is the patient and doctor confidentiality issues. so not just anyone can see a medical record. it would have to be released by dr. the doctor or tiger woods or it would have to be released by court order. >> now, dr. cartwright, if we saw the hospital report, would we be able to tell whether the injuries came from, for instance, hitting the steering wheel, hitting the front window, hitting the side of the car, or from some other -- for some other reason? >> well, certainly if you knew exactly where the injuries were occurring, the forehead, the front of the face, that might be more consistent with a steering wheel or the front windshield. obviously, if he was --

>> lacerations to his upper and lower lip. a little bit of blood in his mouth. but he was conscious enough to be able to speak a little bit. according to my officers, it was not life-threatening injuries according to them. >> what did he say? >> nothing. he was mumbling. that was it.

we are taking your calls live. but first back to the lawyers. eleanor odom, peter odom, and lauren lake. peter odom, where's the striking a fixed object charge? >> well, bring it on. charge him with it and let's be done with it. this is a minor traffic accident. it's right there. they should charge him with it and be done with it, nancy. this is a minor traffic accident. >> not my question. i said where's the charge? >> they haven't decided to bring it yet. who knows why? you know why? >> no. why? >> because they're so fix kuwaitated on the fact this is tiger woods and his celebrity. why don't they do what they'd do in any other traffic accident, issue a citation and be done with it? why drag this guy through the mud? >> i absolutely agree. this is a whole bunch of ado about nothing. this is a traffic accident. the man did what -- >> put her back up. >> put me back up. because he gave what he was supposed to, nancy, his driver's

license, registration, and proof of insurance, and from then on out he doesn't have to say anything until they charge -- >> you know, lauren lake, you are absolutely correct. he is a victim, is under no duty to speak to police. and if he is a suspect in striking a fixed object he certainly doesn't have to talk to police because then he is a target. of course, it's just a traffic citation. but still, he is a target under the law. but i want to go back to you, peter odom. peter odom, a rose by any other name still smells like a rose. and i'll tell you why people are pouncing on this. because the story doesn't add up. that's why. and everybody -- i think everybody on this panel, probably everybody in america except his competitors loves tiger woods. except maybe they love him too because when he plays in a tourney they make more money because more people come to see

him. but eleanor, the reason people are latching on to this is because the stories don't make sense. >> no, it doesn't make sense. he was out late at night. there's an accident. it was apparently minor but yet he's unconscious. it doesn't add up, nancy. >> and you left out the wife coming out of the hotel -- out of the home with a golf club. >> a golf club. yes.

tiger woods is in the news. hours after celebrating thanksgiving, tiger woods is involved in an accident. so now there are so many questions because tiger woods and his wife, elin, will not talk to police officers and police officers are pursuing this matter. so what gives? >> with questions swirling around him and the florida highway patrol turned away three times, that has a lot of people even more curious. woods's efforts to maintain his privacy are legendary. >> tiger woods doesn't have to

talk. there's one thing that florida highway patrol does extremely well. it's called accident reconstruction. >> under florida law, under our constitution tiger woods doesn't have to tell us anything. >> everybody wants to know. all right. what happened? what does tiger woods have to tell us? >> he was backing out of his driveway and hit a fire hydrant and subsequently hit a tree. and this was in his escalade. and as such, you know, suffered some injuries. >> what happened? what's wrong? >> i have a neighbor, he hit the tree. and we came out here just to see what was going on. i see him and he's laying down. >> you mean he was in an auto accident? >> yes, there was an auto accident, yes. >> every time you stonewall the cops three days in a row you look like you're hiding something. or looking like you're guilty of something terrible. >> tiger woods is probably the ultimate control freak.

you don't have the game, you don't sort of base your entire life -- the guy's going to turn 34 on october 30th. his entire life -- you remember was on tv hitting golf balls at 3 years old. 13 major championships. everything about his life is selfishly as he would say controlled so he could do and dominate his sport to the best of his ability. this is now beyond his control. so what does it do? it just adds one more layer of complexity to the situation that he really does not want. >> back to maxine page, senior news editor radaronline.com. maxine. >> yes. >> the likelihood of this incident occurring the same day as the "enquirer" hits the stands. now-n new york the quire"enquir can hit the stands on wednesday, before thanksgiving. then it good k. get to the rest

of the country friday, saturday, later. but i believe it's on the front page of the "enquirer" about an alleged affair between tiger woods and a hostess -- what is a hostess for a nightclub? whatever. that alleged affair which the lady denies and woods denies hits the stands that day. in a couple of hours smashup and wife runs out of the house or comes out in a golf cart armed with a golf club. thoughts? >> it's a big coincidence. and we've got reporting that they had a heated argument over this woman and over the affair and that he told her that she totally spoiled their thanksgiving before running out of the house. >> well, of course, nobody can know what went on inside the house. it can't possibly be confirmed unless either he or she told people. but you know, it hits that day, and this happens that night. maxine page, isn't the woman denying the affair, the hostess

at the nightclub? >> she has denied it. she's come out and denied it. but there's a lot of inconsistencies in her story. >> okay. we're taking your calls. beverly, ohio. hi, beverly. >> caller: hello, friend. how are you? >> hi, dear. and i want to put it on the record again. i'm a woods fan. i don't play golf. but the reality is this guy is a genius and he's chosen to keep this private. that's his decision. what's your question, beverly? >> i want to say this first. you are a saint. >> i am so not a saint. >> caller: yes, you are. >> but bless you for saying that. thank you. >> caller: but what i wanted to say was people aren't stupid. we know what tiger woods did. but if he wants to say that, that's his business. he's the one with the busted lip. and ask me did his wife go to the hospital. no. >> beverly, let me ask you this, beverly in ohio.

you think if you ran over -- what's he doing in the cadillac anyway? isn't he supposed to be in a buick? >> caller: number one, i'd be in jail -- >> if you ran over -- >> caller: because if i had my t-shirt on and my shoes off in a cadillac running up against a tree of a neighbor's, a fire hydrant -- >> and a fire hydrant. >> caller: and a fire hydrant. i'd probably be in jail. >> listen, they would read you your rights. they'd put handcuffs on you for striking a fixed object, and they'd want to know what the hay were you doing out at 2:30 in the morning up in somebody's yard or wherever it was. all right. beverly in ohio, point well taken. out to tamika in ohio. hi, tamika. >> caller: hi. how are you, miss nancy? >> i'm good, tamika. what's your question, dear? >> caller: i wanted to know is it against the law that he's not making a statement to the police that he hit a hydrant and he hit a tree? >> well, if he is accused of wrongdoing, even in a traffic offense, you don't have to speak to police. you know, it goes from traffic

offense all the way to first degree murder. when cops are suspicious you did something wrong, the constitution protects you. you don't have to talk to police. and if he is a victim of some wrongdoing, victims also don't have to make a police report. let's go back to the lawyers. eleanor odom, peter odom, lauren lake. what about it, lauren lake? >> well, he doesn't have to talk. and that's what people don't understand. legally he is within his rights to just remain silent. and his lawyers are probably advising him to do that as well. there's nothing to say. i had an accident two doors down from my house. that's it. >> out to a specialist in her field, marvette britto. she is a pr and brand strategist, the president of the britto agency. she's joining us from new york. marvette, i need a little help. if he just flipped the curb and hit a fire hydrant and a tree, why is he saying in his press release, which i've got in my

hand, that he's so embarrassed? embarrassed of what? what's embarrassing? >> you know, nancy, tiger is being brilliant tiger, and tiger is protecting his brand. tiger's going to speak once. we know him to be a fiercely private man. he has a very public career, but he leads a very private life. so he is giving you one statement, and tiger, chances are he's not going to speak any more about it at all. >> marvette. >> that's all he said, nancy. >> marvette. >> mm-hmm. >> do you read the "enquirer"? >> i don't read the "enquirer," nancy. >> okay. well, let me just give you a little news flash. it ain't private anymore. >> it is. >> allegations of an affair, true or false. both of them deny it. are on the front page. >> right. but that doesn't mean -- >> of the leading tabloid in the country. >> right. but it doesn't mean -- >> long story short, why -- no. >> he doesn't have to play into the world's wanting to know what is going on in his house. he's choosing to handle this in a private -- >> hey, hey, hey. hold on.

i don't care what happened in his house. what i care about is why he's not charged with striking a fixed object and why according to maxine page with radar online the wife gave a very conflicting statement about how she ended up beating out the windows of the back of his suv when it hits the newsstands that day about an affair. okay? i want to know why i would get charged and a guy that i have followed for years isn't getting charged. i don't care if i like him or don't like him. i don't care if he's the greatest golf phenomenon that ever existed. i care about why he apparently is getting treated differently than everybody else driving the streets of this country. you've got a thought on that, marvette? >> yes, i have a thought on that, nancy. i think if i hit a pole or if you hit it we wouldn't be talking about it today. we're only talking -- >> we'd be charged. >> well, we're only talking about this because it's tiger woods and he has a right to handle this in the way that he

has chosen to handle it and that is privately. >> marvette. marvette. >> yes. >> may i please see miss britto's face? marvette, i know your specialty is pr. my specialty is the u.s. constitution. and under the u.s. constitution, miss britto, everyone is treated equally. i want to go to dr. janet taylor, psychiatrist and medical doctor. dr. taylor, what do you make of his alleged injuries? >> well, i mean, clearly it seemed like there wasn't enough force to sustain the injuries that he had. with that being said, he was going in and out of consciousness, reportedly lost consciousness for a few minutes. so he had some head trauma from something. >> they made the cardinal sin of letting the press infatuation with the scandalous aspect of this predominate the coverage, and they didn't even try to cut

their losses until yesterday, when they put out a statement, and the statement added more confusion to an already confusing situation. i think they're listening to lawyers and agents and not listening to people that have ever dealt with the media.

members of the shaniya davis task force received confirmation from the state medical examiner's office on the ruling on the manner of the death of shaniya davis as a homicide. >> you're charged with first-degree murder. >> you did engage in human trafficking with a child as the victim. >> they've already alleged that they've got sufficient evidence that she did the unimaginable, something that's arguably evil, to take your own child and prostitute your child out. >> she's clearly a sociopath. we don't really know. there's been questions of drug use and so forth. but i mean this crime is

horrific. >> antoinette davis and mario mcneill have been together. they've hung out together. there may have been a debt that needed to be paid. we are understanding that she may have owed him money. >> i feel robbed. and i feel shaniya was robbed. >> do you regret the decision? have you sat there and gone, gee, if i'd only realized this or that in terms of a red flag? >> i do. but you know, we obviously make decisions in life that sometimes have repercussions or adverse situations that -- >> everyone, joining me live here on our set is our very special guest, shaniya's father is with us. brad lockhart joining us tonight in a primetime exclusive. he is also taking your calls. also with him, his attorney, mike fried, renowned attorney in the jacksonville, florida area. mr. lockhart, thank you for being with us. >> you're welcome. >> you know, i've watched you so

many times, over and over and over. i've seen you upset. i've seen you crying. i've seen you angry. what stage are you at now? >> i'm still filtering through it. i don't exactly know where i'm at mentally or physically. at moments i'm feeling strong. moments i'm feeling weak. there's times i feel vulnerable. but i know there's a lot of people depending on me. not only the people that's attended shaniya's funeral or that's reached out to me, but children out there are needing a voice, and i think i need to be that voice. >> mr. lockhart, they really do. they need your voice. and that is something that you can latch onto, something to make you strong. i remember when my fiance was murdered, i was -- i could hardly even remember the scenario around it. but i knew that i had to represent crime victims. and it changed my whole life.

what is your most vivid memory of shaniya? >> i used to sit in my recliner all the time and flip through the channel, and shaniya would always come to the left side of it and just put her hands on the top of the recliner and look over my shoulder and would always give me a kiss and jump on my lap and just tell me she loved me and just lay there for a little while before it was time for her to go play with her barbies or something else of interest came across. >> what were her favorites things to do? >> she liked to color. she was a typical little girl. she had a little tomboy in her. so she was learning how to ride her scooter. running into the cars, of course, scratching them up. just real energetic. she loved to play dress sxwrup b and barbie and have girl time. like my son said, she's really welcome into women, not as welcome into men. >> my daughter's the same way.

the same exact way. of course lucy's only 2. when you look back on what's happened the last few weeks in your life, does it even seem real? >> it hasn't set in. it seems so unreal. >> have you even been able to bring yourself, mr. lockhart, to think about punishment for the man that killed your daughter and your former girlfriend, who pri police say are responsible for handing her over for sex? 5 years old. >> it's crossed my mind. however, just my faith and the lord and -- i've always had limited faith in the justice system. >> well, i can understand that. >> however, you know, the police have been working very diligently. i've met with most of the team. >> they really have. >> they've put a lot of man-hours into this. >> i think they cared so much about this case, and it struck me, mr. lockhart, that they all

had to have grief counseling when shaniya's little body was found. i mean, they were so involved in trying to find your girl. >> they worked very hard, and they're still working hard. >> this is what i don't understand. and maybe they've told you. they certainly haven't told me, although i've asked. why isn't the mother charged with felony murder? i mean, according to police, she handed your baby girl, beautiful, 5 years old, shaniya, for sex to prostitute her out. a 5-year-old girl for sex. she handed her over. that's a felony. and a death occurred. a death occurred. that is textbook felony murder. have police or prosecutors said anything about charging the mother? >> they haven't told me anything at this time. the only thing they have told me is that they're continuing the investigation. you know, they're kind of

tight-lipped on some areas, which i understand that they have to. and nothing needs to leak out because then there's the possibility they're walking out on some loophole or something. we don't want that to happen. so i'm just -- >> here's the reality, mr. lockhart. if it were to leak about which direction their case were going -- i'm not asking you to blurt it out on the air. the worst thing that could happen is a change of venue. which the defense is going to ask for anyway. of course there's a chance of some kind of prosecutorial misconduct charge. but i don't think that would happen. everyone, with me is a very special guest, mr. brad lockhart. this is shaniya's father. her biological father that loved her so very dearly. to your lawyer, a well-known lawyer in the jacksonville area, mike fried. mike-v th mike, have they told you anything about whether they're going to seek the death penalty on this guy? >> the indications are they're going to seek the death penalty

on mcneill. they have a long way to go and we have every reason to believe they're doing things in the -- >> a long way to go in the decision whether they're going to seek the death penalty? why? >> i think theare. you asked a good question about shaniya's mother. >> and you're a very good lawyer because you're changing the subject. but i'm going with it. go ahead. >> what i think is great is that they're using the words, human trafficking. that's something you don't hear enough of. there have been very few prosecutions in the united states and it is a crime that is rampant. obviously, this is a crime that has shocked the consciousness, a it should. >> the whole thing has broken my heart about shaniya. very quickly, what's happening with the mother? >> antoinette davis has been moved to a different facility, a women's correctional facility in raleigh. they have a lot more amenities but she is being held there to keep her safe from herself and others. we don't know if she has been directly threatened but they are concerned because of her pregnancy. >> back to mr. lockhart.

do you dream about shaniya? do you think about her all turk the day? >> all the time. all the tame. she is part of the reason why i think i'm staying so strong and reaching out to the lord and reaching out to shaniya, to be a voice for her, to stop this. i've reached out and spoken with some groups, stop child trafficking now. and we're going to continue to push hard. >> we are going to publicize his mission as we go to break. happy 86th to alabama friend doris. here she is surrounded by eight grandchildren. happy birthday, beautiful doris.

with me tonight, a very special guest. brad lockhart. this is little shaniya's father. mr. lockhart, i understand that an unlikely hero emerged in all of this. basketball superstar shaquille o'neal was watching our show and learned about you and shaniya and actually came forward to help you pay for her funeral. is that true? >> he has offered and extended and gracious an an honorable man. he left a message for me on
