CANTON, Ohio - A massive search ended in sadness Saturday when authorities announced they found a body believed to be a pregnant woman who vanished from her home a week earlier. A police officer believed to be the father of the unborn child was arrested on two counts of murder. Jessie Davis, 26, who was due to deliver a baby girl on July 3, was reported missing after her mother found Davis' 2-year-old son home alone, bedroom furniture toppled and bleach spilled on the floor.


The boy gave investigators their first clues. "Mommy was crying. Mommy broke the table. Mommy's in rug," the boy said.

Thousands of volunteers had searched for Davis over several days, while investigators continued to question Bobby Cutts Jr., 30, who is the father of Davis' son but is married to another woman.

Investigators were mum on many details of their work until they announced Cutts was taken into custody Saturday and was to be arraigned on charges of murder in the deaths of Davis and her unborn child.

The Stark County Sheriff's Department also said a woman's body was recovered in Summit County at 3:30 p.m. Authorities did not give a location but said they believed it to be Davis.

"Our hearts go out to the family of Jessie Marie Davis," Chief Deputy Rick Perez said at a news conference announcing the developments.

Cutts has said he and his wife are separated and that she knew about the affair with Davis.

Perez said the case was still being investigated. He would not comment on whether there were any other suspects.

Cutts has been on paid administrative leave from his job.

"There is no denying that this has resulted in giving a black eye in the opinion of the local community as well as the opinion of the rest of the nation," Canton Police Chief Dean McKimm said of Cutts' arrest.

An attorney for Davis' mother, Patricia Porter, said the family had a roller coaster ride of emotions and had no comment.

"I've seen them laugh, cry, be angry ? everything you can imagine," Rick Pitinii said. "They need to be together, and they need to be alone, and they need to grieve."

it seems as if there has been another arrest... a woman... though they are keeping details kinda quiet. This cop boyfriend obviously had mistresses everywhere... no wonder he and his wife were getting divorced... dirty fucker. Anyway, i think i read that they did search her house, and took several bags of stuff, including some bottles of BLEACH from the basement.

Ohio slaying suspect held on $5M bond

CANTON, Ohio - A police officer accused of killing his pregnant girlfriend and her nearly full-term fetus made his first court appearance Monday and was ordered held on $5 million bond.

Bobby Cutts Jr., 30, was expressionless as a judge reviewed his case. He stood behind a window separating him from the courtroom, with his girlfriend's family seated a few feet away.

Jessie Davis, 26, was missing for about a week before her body was found Saturday in a park. Cutts is the father of her 2-year-old son, and Davis' relatives have said he is the father of the baby girl she was due to deliver July 3 and planned to name Chloe.

Davis' mother, Patricia Porter, stood in the front row of the courtroom and stared at Cutts as he surveyed the audience. Porter held the hand of daughter Whitney Davis while she stood glaring at Cutts.

"I just wanted him to see us, to know what he's done to our family," Whitney Davis said later. "I'm just disgusted with him."

Porter stood again when one of Cutts' former high school classmates appeared in front of the judge.

Myisha Ferrell, 29, is accused of lying to investigators about the case. She was ordered held on $500,000 bond.

Cutts' attorney, Bradley Iams, declined to discuss details of the charges against his client or anything Cutts said to him during the court appearance. He said it was too early to say whether a trial would have to be moved out of Stark County, and that he was not surprised by the bond amount.

Cutts, arrested Saturday, is accused of killing Davis and the fetus June 14 at her home in nearby Lake Township.

Davis' mother last spoke to her daughter a day before authorities say she was killed. Davis was reported missing after the mother found her grandson home alone, with bedroom furniture toppled and bleach spilled on the floor. The boy, Blake, gave investigators some of their first clues, saying: "Mommy was crying. Mommy broke the table. Mommy's in rug."

Family members have told Blake that his mother is in heaven, said Porter, who was granted temporary custody of the boy Monday.

"Blake is doing as well as can be expected for a 2 1/2-year-old whose mom is not coming home," Porter said. "He has an old cell phone and he calls her and talks to her."

Her body was found nine days after authorities believe she was killed. Determining the cause of death will take weeks because of advanced decomposition, the medical examiner's office said Monday. The office will test the paternity of the fetus, and conduct toxicology and DNA tests and a skeletal analysis.

Ohio law allows a murder charge against someone accused of killing a fetus that would have been able to live outside the womb.

Authorities have not said what led them to Davis' body, about 25 miles from her home, in an area of a national park with a dirt road, a small dirt parking area and a couple of benches overlooking a grassy field. Thousands of volunteers searched for Davis for several days in the area around her home.

The sheriff's office, which is leading the investigation, has not released further information about the obstruction of justice charge against Ferrell, who was arrested Sunday. Her attorney did not comment to reporters after the hearing.

Cutts is married and has a daughter with his wife. He has said he and his wife are separated and that she knew about his relationship with Davis. Iams said Cutts was suspended without pay Monday by the Canton police department.

Also on Monday, Cutts lost a custody battle over his 9-year-old daughter, Taylor, a lawyer said.

Cutts met Taylor's mother, Nikki Giavasis, when both attended nearby Walsh University. Taylor has lived with Giavasis for most of her life in California, but Cutts challenged the custody arrangement in 2005.

Hours before Cutts' arraignment, Stark County Family Court Judge David Stucki dismissed the case, said Jeffrey Jakmides, a lawyer representing Giavasis. Stucki cited the charges against Cutts as one factor in his decision, Jakmides said.

Cutts and Giavasis lived together for a while, but when she began seeing another man in 1998, Cutts was accused of breaking into her home while she was inside with former NBA player Shawn Kemp of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Cutts pleaded no contest to a disorderly conduct charge and was sentenced to three years' probation. Giavasis told police she feared for her safety. The pair are involved in a custody dispute.

Giavasis told The Associated Press they were together about four months, and confrontations began after she broke off their relationship. Giavasis said the two had several physical confrontations.
