Body Found in Ohio; Missing Woman's Boyfriend Charged With Murder (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,286404,00.html)
CANTON, Ohio — The boyfriend of a missing pregnant woman was arrested on two counts of murder Saturday, and a body believed to be hers was found a week after she vanished from her home, authorities said.
Jessie Davis (http://javascript<b></b>:siteSearch('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.
The boy gave investigators their first clues. "Mommy was crying. Mommy broke the table. Mommy's in rug," the boy said.

Oh no. I was so hoping that they would find her alive. And if they didn't, I was hoping it was a stranger and not the married boyfriend (and father of her children) who did it.

AMEN! Virgo......just too sad!
I've never understood women who date men they know are married, and keep having babies with men they know are violent, can't stay out of trouble, or whatever. I'm not trying to say that the woman deserved to be killed, but if you play with fire...

It's kind of like these women who end up missing when they go to a foriegn country and decide to disappear with men they don't know....I'm sure somewhere in life someone told them...don't do that!!!

The women seem to think, "yeah, he's cheating to be with me, but once he's fully with me, he won't cheat any more."
Yeah, right...
Women like that need a paddle to make it down their river of Denial.
I had a friend who let her boyfriend hit her...repeatedly...I had to stop talking to her because it was started to endanger her friends...we did what we could to help. But this guy wasn't above hurting anyone else....losers must die!!

That and the fact that babies aren't just trophies for men anymore.....

I hope she didnt suffer. And I feel bad for her little boy, hopefully he will forget what he saw.

I'm with you, Mac. One shouldn't say bad things about the dead, and certainly I feel awful for the two year old and the -14 day old, but Mom wasn't much for character. And again, the news media is dragging this thing out.

Of course, Cutts is supposed to be innocent until found guilty, unless he's cut a deal to save his sorry ass, and confessed, but, assuming he's guilty, can you imagine the kind of mind he must possess to leave his son there alone for days? And why didn't the child mention his dad? Strange. Maybe Doc understands the psychology of the child under these conditions.

Maybe Cutts hired someone to go in the house and get the woman. The child wouldn't have recognized his dad in that case.
Well, speculation is Cutts's wife helped him hide the body.

And I've never understood men who are married who continue to act as if they aren't...or men who screw around without protection, creating babies with women who aren't their wives...There would be no other women if men made the decision to honor their wedding vows.
It take two to tango, and one doesn't usually play with fire all alone...
It makes me a bit ill that we're really in effect blaming the woman (even though we say that we're not...and I'm not just talking about you mac), when it was a MAN who killed her. Whatever bad choices she made, there's no justification for the choice he made. It seems like she (and now her children) have paid the ultimate price for her bad choices, and hopefully, he will be held equally accountable.
Although both men and women are capable of violence, would it be fair to say that men tend to be more violent than women? There are cases of the wife killing the husband, like the preacher's wife in where, Georgia? But it seems that more men kill the female than the other way around.

I think I remember reading when Lacy Peterson was killed and then the woman in Utah who just found out she was pregnant was killed by her husband, that the number of men who kill their pregnant wives or girlfriends is astounding. Found this article (http://www.now.org/issues/violence/043003pregnant.html), and I realize it's from NOW, but it gets the point across.

I don't think it is fair to pass judgement on a woman who cannot defend herself. No one deserves to die. Period. She was not the one who was married. And, according to several news reports, Cutts had several girlfriends. Who knows what he told the women he met?
I also don't remember hearing about Cutts being particularly violent in the past.

The ex-girlfriend (and mother of yet ANOTHER child) claims that he was abusive towards both her and their daughter. He was convicted of criminal trespass and placed on probation for 3 years for breaking into their home (before he became a cop, but he was still on probation at the time of his hire).

Geez. This guy is really a piece of work. I wonder why he even married his wife if all he wanted to do was inpregnate half of the women in Canton.

First of all, I specifically clarified that I was not saying she deserved anything. I simply made the point that young people have to be taught and warned to stay away from people whose lives are in that kind of chaos. He has children with multiple women, has recently been fired from his job for letting a criminal cousin of his have his police issued gun, and he's been accused of threatening violence against other girlfriends. He's obviously a loser with a tendency to lose it. Past behavior is the best indicator of what you can expect from someone in the future.
Also, yes, they've been reporting that he had a history of threatening his girlfriends, breaking stuff when he was mad, etc.

They also pointed out that the child may have actually mentioned the father, because if he did, the police would have reasons for not wanting to release that info until their investigation was complete. So just because they didn't say he mentioned his dad doesn't mean he didn't.

Based on charges and convictions, men are more likely to act violently towards strangers, like in robberies. When it comes to people they know though... I think it's really a difference in how the genders are violent. Statistically men are accused more often than women of violent crimes, but also, women commit different kinds of crime. Their violent acts often have reasoning attached, like a history of abuse from their victim or mental illness. Those reasons don't often appear when males are accused, and if they do they aren't taken seriously. Women also don't use physical force as often (as in their bare hands). Historically, women have been fans of poisons, suffocations, and death by firearms. Their victims are children, infirm, sleeping, or drugged. That's starting to change now that the view of the female as being relatively powerless compared to a male is fading, but women killing other healthy adults via sheer physical force is still rare.
You can see why the criminologists and the psychologists have a field day with this subject :)

The thing with a child that young, its all in what you ask and how...
There's also no way to tell what the child did see - maybe he did see a man attack his mother but for some reason couldn't recognize him as his father. The child may have even IDed him, but the police might not have wanted to come out and say that much yet.

Murder is the #1 cause of death among pregnant women, and it's almost always the father of the baby. If you Google it, you'll see lots of info, but here's one site (http://www.jrrobertssecurity.com/security-news/security-crime-news0043.htm).

It's very possible in addition to saying that "Mommy was crying," "Mommy broke the table," and "Mommy is in the rug," the child might have said something along the lines of "Daddy did it," or "Daddy was here."
If Cutts was there, the police still needed more evidence than the words of a two-year-old child to make an arrest.

A second arrest (http://www.woio.com/) has been made. There's also a video on the site that is a rather sensationalist piece of journalistic crap entitled "He Did It".

I think the child said, "baby-daddy did it."
