Jessie Marie Davis was the subject of a missing-person case in the state of Ohio widely covered by the American media, particularly the cable news channels, after she went missing while pregnant with her second child. Jessie disappeared on June 13, 2007 after shopping at a local grocery store. Texas EquuSearch in particular mounted a full scale search of the area in the three days prior to the discovery of her body.
On June 23, 2007 CNN reported her body was recovered from a wooded area in neighboring Summit County, Ohio, apparently in a portion of Hampton Hills Metro Park immediately adjacent to Cuyahoga Valley National Park; National Park Service Rangers are credited in helping finding the body. This article states that her boyfriend, Bobby Cutts, Jr., confessed to killing her, and has been charged with two counts of murder.[1]
Cutts is a police officer with the Canton, Ohio Police Department. Similar to missing white woman syndrome, many believe the media is following this story because Davis was white and Cutts is black.
