Oprah broadcast her show live from Chicago on November 20, 2009 and opened the show by announcing that she would make an announcement at the end of the show. Oprah then proceeded to show a segment about the tragic murder of 5 year old Shaniya Davis, who was found dead in North Carolina.

Oprah Winfrey interviewed Shaniya's father, Bradley Lockhart and his sister Carey Lockhart – Davis (Shaniya's aunt). Carey Lockhart – Davis was a mother figure to young Shaniya. Oprah asked Bradley Lockhart whether he knew that Antoinette had a drug problem, and he replied that he never saw indications of drug use.
