Bobby Cutts Jr. Charged, Jessie Davis body found - Jessie Marie Davis has been murdered and Bobby Cutts Jr. is now in custody, charged with two counts of murder.
Jessie Davis, 26, was due to deliver a baby girl on July 3. Her mother found Davis' 2-year-old son alone in her home, where bedroom furniture was toppled and bleach spilled on the floor on June 15.
Volunteers had searched for Davis over several days, while investigators continued to question Bobby Cutts Jr., 30, a Canton police officer, who is the father of Davis' son. He is also believed to be the father of the unborn child.
Bobby Cutts Jr. had been adamant that he was not involved with Jessie's disappearance. Jessie's mother called him a suspect on Friday on the NBC Today show but said she was praying that it wouldn't turn out to be him.
Investigators had been quiet on much of the details of their work concerning the case until they announced a press conference at 6:00 p.m. EDT.
Speculation was rampant that Cutts had confessed and led police to the body.
"Our hearts go out to the family of Jessie Marie Davis," Chief Deputy Rick Perez said at the news conference announcing the developments.
Stark County Sheriff Tim Swanson confirmed the finding of the body and that Bobby Cutts Jr. was in custody. They did not discuss the location or whether or not Cutts had indeed confessed.
The Canton Repository had reported that investigators found the body in Meyers Lake earlier in the day. However, the body of Jessie Davis was found at Cuyahoga National Park in Summit county. Surveilance video from the recovery scene showed an area where a lake could not be observed. What could be seen, however, is what appeared to be a shallow gravesite.
Cutts will be formally charged Monday with Jessie Davis murder and that of her unborn child. He had been a Canton police officer since 2001.
