Oh, MEDC, that is good news. I hope that things turn out better than I thought.

I still suspect the cop, sorry. The police in the Lacy Peterson case kept saying Scott Peterson wasn't a suspect. They wanted to give him plenty of rope to hang himself. They were watching him, and he incriminated himself.

oh, the cop very well may have done it...but I think it will wind up being another man in her life. Let's just hope for a good outcome here..for all concerned.

He might turn out to be innocent. I hope he is for his wife's and kid's sake. But he sure has a lot of skeletons in the closet.

He was on probation for breaking and entering, and had a RO when they hired him as a cop. (YIKES!!!). He is seperated with 2 OW, and 4 kids, with one on the way. He got fired from the PD in 2003, but reinstated. His ex OW has NOTHING nice to say about him, and says he should be the number one suspect. It's not like all of this is just "bad luck".

CANTON, Ohio - A newborn girl with her umbilical cord still attached was found in a basket on a doorstep 45 miles from where a pregnant woman vanished, authorities said Tuesday. A DNA sample was taken from the infant Tuesday and was given to authorities investigating the disappearance.

Thomas Maurer, sheriff in neighboring Wayne County, said a doctor determined that the baby was less than 24 hours old, and that officials are using "every caution we can" to eliminate the possibility that the baby is related to the missing woman, Jessie Davis.

Davis, 26, who is due July 3 with a baby she planned to name Chloe, has not been heard from since Wednesday evening when she spoke to her mother by phone.

A couple arriving home from dinner Monday night discovered the newborn on the porch of their rural home south of Wooster, Maurer said. The baby was dressed in a sleeper. The wicker basket contained a blanket and a bottle of formula, but there was no note, he said.

The baby was taken to Wooster Community Hospital, where DNA from the girl was taken using a mouth swab, said Maurer, who drove the sample to investigators in Stark County on Tuesday.

Davis was reported missing on Friday when her mother, Patricia Porter, went to Davis' house in nearby North Canton to check on her and found her grandson, 2-year-old Blake Davis, alone, wearing a dirty diaper in a home with furniture askew. A pool of bleach was on the bedroom floor, and the contents of Davis' purse were scatted in the kitchen. Her cell phone and a comforter were missing.

Blake told investigators: "Mommy was crying. Mommy broke the table. Mommy's in the rug."

The father of Davis' son and unborn girl is Canton police patrolman Bobby Cutts Jr. Authorities searched his northeast Ohio home over the weekend and again Monday night. Officials say they have no suspects in the disappearance.

A fellow officer said Tuesday that Cutts had an amicable relationship with Davis. Cutts has refused to talk about the case with reporters and is now on leave from his job.

Cutts shared the parenting duties for their 2-year-old son with Davis, said John Miller, president of the Canton patrolman's union. Cutts, also the father of Davis' unborn daughter, juggled parenthood with the demands of his patrol job on the midnight shift, Miller said.

"He's a good officer. He's got no problems at work. He treats people well," Miller said.

In 1998, he pleaded no contest to a disorderly conduct charge and was sentenced to three years' probation after a former girlfriend accused him of breaking a door jamb and forcing his way into their home, causing her to fear for her safety, according to a police report from nearby Jackson Township.

About two years after his conviction in the disorderly conduct case, Cutts was hired by the Canton Police Department.

His personnel file also shows he won an appeal to overturn his firing in 2003 when authorities conducting a drug raid on his cousin's home found Cutts' handgun hidden under a mattress. Canton police officials accused Cutts of giving the gun to his cousin for protection and said Cutts was lying when he reported that the gun had been stolen.

A federal arbitrator ordered the city to reinstate the officer, saying Canton police had not proven the allegation.

Davis' family has declined to talk about her relationship with Cutts. Her father, Ned, held back tears Tuesday in an interview, saying he's trying to block out all emotion and focus on his daughter's safe return.

"I'm a dad that wants his daughter back," he said.

Miller accused the Stark County Sheriff's Office of waiting too long to retrieve Davis' cell phone records. The sheriff's department has not discussed whether any clues have been found in cell phone records.

Of course this is all TRAGIC, but it bothers me that the media portrays her as being SWEET and INNOCENT. It's just NOT THE TRUTH.

I wanted to say this to somebody 'cause it bugs me.

They often say that someone is NOT a person of interest so that the person of interest will feel safe and do something incriminating.

And this is tragic...

And I can't believe they said she had no enemies, either...

This is a reflection of how HORRIFIC all of this is...

His WIFE was quoted as being in support of him...

He was quoted as saying that his WIFE is aware of this RELATIONSHIP..although SEPARATED from his WIFE..he would not say that they are DIVORCING...

A sad and sorry mess.

Oh, strictly off topic? This is a single 26 year old pregnant mother, and I'm wondering how the heck she affords such a beautiful home. I mean, housing is expensive.

Belle - that house they keep showing is actually a duplex, and she was just renting one floor of it.

I am stil amazed at how much in denial her family is of the lifestyle their daughter chose. They seemed proud of the fact that she did not expect this man to marry her and that she was content to steal what she needed from somebody else's marriage.

It's a lifestyle that almost certainly got her killed. If the married OM did not do it himself, he may have had someone else do it - *or* this woman could have been getting involved with yet another man who was jealous of her still seeing the married OM.

What a horrible, horrible mess. And if her family had not been so horribly supportive of it, maybe this woman would still be alive today.

I'm just waiting to see whether or not that was her newborn girl that was found on the doorstep 45 miles away.

This is their daughter .... I would hardly expect them to go on the news and say "Well, she made horrible decisions that we completely disapproved of, she was wrecking a marriage and subjecting her kids and the COM to untold pain .... but please help us find her."

They may say those things privately -- or even just think them. We don't know that they were supportive behind closed doors.

But for the national media, what else can you put out there besides "We love our daughter and want her back." Flaws and all, wouldn't you want people to help your child and grandchild? And wouldn't you portray them in the best light possible in order to get that help? I would. If this were my loved one, I'd be focusing a lot more on the good things that I wanted people to know about her than the things that I might disapprove of.

JMHO ....

-AmI.

Have they found her yet?

And whats up with the pool of bleach on the bedroom floor???

it removes blood and helps remove dna traces

Ohh gawd, how sinister. And premeditated.

And "who" aside from law enforcement and forensics would know that type of thing. I don't think that bleach as a sure fire blood and DNA removal is common knowledge.

I think it is pretty common knowledge these days with shows like CSI and such.

My kids have done BAD stuff...not at this level..but still..I WAS EMBARASSED for them and me when they did...

What happened to SHAME about IMMORALITY in this country?

I probably would be too ASHAMED to speak out on national TV if I had a daughter living such a life...

But if I did..I would hope that I would use it as an opportunity to discourage others from following her path to DESTRUCTION and PROBABLE DEATH...

I do feel SAD for ALL OF THEM particularly the little boy...

I hope it's a lesson in encouraging us to continue to SPEAK OUT for what is RIGHT and GOOD and MORAL...

My boys do, THANK GOD, focus on thanking US for teaching them MORAL VALUES..their father joined with me in raising them that way, too..which was what made what he did so SHOCKING to all of us...

Just a little Mimi vent..back to the regularly scheduled program...

Welp, that baby that was found is not the missing woman's baby.
