Mother and daughter missing in North Carolina last week

The Wilmington Police Department in North Carolina is asking for the public's help in locating a missing mother-daughter duo last seen on June 26.

Amanda Lynn Roberts, 36, and her daughter, Brenna Dawn Shoff, 2, were last seen that day near the 5000 block of Market Street, near the Sleep Inn and MainStay Suites.

Police say Roberts may be carrying a hard-sided rolling suitcase with a paint splatter pattern, a cheetah-print diaper bag and a car seat.

Roberts is described as 5'5″, 110 lbs., with green eyes and brown hair. Police say Shoff is 3'5″, 30 lbs., with curly blonde hair and hazel eyes.

Police provided the public with two photos for reference: one of Roberts holding a cup of coffee and smiling with Shoff next to her, also smiling, and another of Shoff looking at the camera, wearing a Minnie Mouse T-shirt.

Anyone with information on the couple's whereabouts is asked to contact the Wilmington Police Department at 910-343-3609.

About 30 minutes from Wilmington, in Delco, North Carolina, the mother of a missing pregnant woman, Shanna Perry, 34, is asking for the public's help in finding her daughter. She was last seen by her boyfriend, Lance Sandlin Jr., at a home on Delco Prosper Road in Columbus County on April 26.

“I just want her back so she can be buried properly,” Shanna’s mother, Tracy Perry, told WECT on June 5. “I just want everyone who’s out there to come forward and tell me where she is. I’m begging you with all my might.”

Tracy Perry told the outlet that Shanna was allegedly in an abusive relationship and feared she had been killed. Shanna was five months pregnant when she was last seen and Tracy is caring for her 18-month-old child.

She described Shanna as trying to turn her life around after she was arrested in September for allegedly pointing a man at Sandlin, the father of her child, during a fight.

“All I ask is that everyone continue to pray, because prayers will be more important than anything,” Tracy said. “They will bring out the truth and I believe that with all my heart.”

Meanwhile, in Florida, authorities are searching for 3-year-old Shea Eminhizer, who was last seen June 24 in South Miami.

Eminhizer may be with the child's mother, Christine Betancourt, who a police dispatcher said “should be considered armed and dangerous.”
