The body of a missing 5-year-old girl has been found in North Carolina, police said Monday.
Theresa Chance, public information officer of the Fayetteville Police Department, confirmed the girl's body was discovered.
A statement from Fayetteville Police Chief Tom Bergamine said positive identification was being sought for the recovered body. In a separate e-mail to CNN, Fayetteville police said the body found was that of the missing girl, Shaniya Davis.
About 200 people had been searching for the child's body after "reliable information" indicated that she might be dead, according to Fayetteville police.
Investigators had been searching for Shaniya for several days.
Police have charged the girl's mother, Antoinette Nicole Davis, with trafficking and other offenses, authorities said. Davis was "prostituting her child," Chance said. 
Other charges against the mother include felony child abuse, prostitution and filing a false police report, according to the Fayetteville Police Department.
