Missing Ohio Woman

---

Not sure if you all have heard about this story or not. This is actually happen right here where I live. It's really sad I hope they find the woman alive, but it's looking pretty bleak at the moment. Here's the story:UNIONTOWN, Ohio - More than 1,000 volunteers spread out Thursday in a search of rural areas around the home of a missing woman who was 9 months pregnant when she disappeared. "I think every single rock will be turned over on this search," said organizer Tim Miller, who runs the internationally active search team Texas EquuSearch.Miller had expected about 200 volunteers Thursday and said he was a bit overwhelmed by the turnout. His team also brought in sonar equipment to check ponds and a remote-control airplane equipped with a camera to look for any sign of the missing woman, Jessie Davis.Davis' younger sister, Whitney Davis, who wore a T-shirt with her sister's picture and the word "Missing" in red letters."They're going to help us find Jessie, hopefully, bring her back safe," she said.Jessie Davis, whose baby is due July 3, was last heard from in a phone call with her mother on June 13. Two days later, her mother checked on her home and found it in shambles, with the furniture overturned, a comforter missing and her 2-year-old grandson wandering around alone.The little boy told investigators: "Mommy was crying. Mommy broke the table. Mommy's in rug.""We're holding onto that hope that maybe she's still alive out there," Miller said. "That would be the greatest thing in the world, but realistically, we know after a period of time that that normally doesn't happen."Miller started EquuSearch his 16-year-old daughter, Laura, disappeared in Texas and was found dead 17 months later. Funded through donations, the group offers search-and-rescue training and uses specialized search equipment to help recover human remains around the world and search for missing children. It has worked on hundreds of missing persons cases, including the 2005 disappearance of Natalee Holloway, 18, in Aruba.On Wednesday, for the second time in three days, investigators searched the home of the man who fathered Davis' 2-year-old son and unborn daughter, although authorities have repeatedly said Canton police officer Bobby Cutts Jr. is not a suspect.Cutts, 30, told The (Canton) Repository he had nothing to do with Davis' disappearance, and that he has slept little and had no appetite since the 26-year-old woman vanished.Sheriff's investigators and FBI agents carried out more than a dozen white cardboard boxes, a few brown bags and three large black plastic bags during a search that lasted more than three hours.A legal order allowed investigators to obtain some of Davis' cell phone records, which are being reviewed, Stark County sheriff's Chief Deputy Rick Perez said at a news conference Wednesday.Cutts, who also has two children with his wife, Kelly, said they are separated but have not filed for divorce and that his wife knew he had a relationship with Davis.He said he last spoke with Davis at 8 p.m. on June 13, about 90 minutes before she last spoke with her mother.Cutts' mother, Renee Horne, told the Repository that agents at her son's home were looking for Davis' cell phone and a quilt missing from the Davis's home.Horne said FBI agents questioned her son twice Wednesday, and read him his Miranda rights during the second interview. Investigators also took Cutts' two cell phones, Horne said.Meanwhile, authorities said DNA tests would not be finished until next week on a newborn girl left on a porch about 45 miles away from Davis' home. Authorities are trying to determine if the infant, less than 24 hours old when it was found Monday evening in Wooster, is related to Davis. A bottle and can of formula left in the basket with the newborn were sent to be tested for fingerprints or any other evidence. On its Web site, the FBI lists the case as a kidnapping. But FBI spokesman Scott Wilson in Cleveland said the label is standard whenever foul play is a possibility, and the agency doesn't know if Davis was abducted or not. The FBI is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to Davis' whereabouts. EquuSearch added a $5,000 reward. Thursday morning, scores volunteers gathered at a firehouse near a sign that read, "Pray for Jessie," to help EquuSearch's efforts. "My heart goes out to them," said Lisa Dillon, 47, who took a vacation day from her state job to aid in the search. "I just want to help."

Certainly makes you wonder.As I said I think it's pretty bleak on finding the woman alive. I just hope that the little baby they found is her's, I'm sure it would give some comfort to the family.You hear stories like this all the time but makes it even more surreal when it's happening in your backyard. Makes it very creepy.

I know what you mean. It has been SEVERAL years now, but a family was killed in my home town. One of the "kids" came home high, and peeved, and took out a shot gun and killed both his parents, his sister, and her 18 month old daughter, before killing himself. Then a few months later a schitzophrenic guy my dad worked with, took an ax to his wife and two little boys before turning a gun on himself. Our town was like 10 in the nation for highest murder per capita because of those incidences...Scarey sad things in this world. Do you think were a little more numb to it because of all the media coverage all over, not just in our neighborhoods?

I heard about that on the news the other day; it's so sad! I hope she is found alive and safe or at least the person who did it is brought to justice.What bothered me while watching the news was the things they reportrd on afterwards... every death they reported was that of a child. It broke my heart! A 2yr old drowned, a 11 yr old was killed in a bear attack, a 14 yr old was shot at a party, and so on... I had to turn it off!!

I think we are all pretty numb to a lot of it until it happens in our own towns. Than it all becomes very real.

I've heard about this too. It is so sad. Something seems fishy about the whole thing though. Like another Lacey Peterson thing, you know? I feel bad for her little boy that apparently saw something bad happen to his mother. :frowning:

I'm afraid we are becoming numb to it. And I'm blaming cable news.
It's like when one person is found or a case is resolved, they go looking for another one, cause heaven forbid we don't have one thrown at us on a daily basis. I don't even pay attention to these stories anymore, and that's sad. Unless, of course, it's in my home town. Then I want everyone to notice it. But they're not paying attention cause it's not in their home town. Sad isn't it. And who decides which missing children get nightly coverage on national cable news shows and who has to be content to have their pictures on milk cartons or the bulletin board at Wal-Mart?

Anyone hear about the 11 year old kid who got killed by a bear the other day?

I mentioned that in my earlier post; it was just heart breaking to hear about it. It seems like more and more children are dying or being kidnaped or being abused in some way.

Yuppers I heard about the bear attacking that child as well, very crazy.I wonder ig it's happening more to children or just being reported more.

The boyfriend is accused!

Aye. He actually turned himself in and told the police where the body could be found. Supposedly he had an accomplice, whom they found yesterday down the street from my house (which was freaky); she was hiding out in someone's house. Just weird for my area because it's really quiet, which might be one of the reasons she picked the area I suppose.

There is a lot to be unfolded yet. He is saying that when he got to Jesse's house Jesse was already dead and he felt no one would believe him so he ditched the body. Of course that holds no weight to me because common sense says that just makes you look even quiltier.

I really want to know what the motive to kill her was. I have a feeling she told him the baby was not his and that's what set him off.

I heard about it that was fairly close to my home.Iv spent some time in that campground, or atlest near it.The shits of that one was that the bear attacked another man that morning pre dawn, they scared it off with a gun and it returned that night and killed that kid.That kid is world wide news, Iv seen it on CNN, and all over the net.I was actually camping when he was killed, so I didnt hear about it till I got home, but I was about 100 miles from where he was killed when it happened. the only good to come out of that I think is that when I was in the general vicinity of that area camping the following weekend the were alot less people around.Thye drove up in droves that day to see where the boy was killed, walk around, gawk like fucking monsters, but after dark, my camp and opne a mile further down the mountian from me were the only ones on that mountain.

So now just makes me wonder even more what his motive was for killing Jesse Davis and his unborn daughter.Though I guess he did tell someone that he didn't want anymore children... so who knows. Still so much to find out in the case.
