New Arrest in Death of Pregnant Woman

CANTON, Ohio (AP) - A former classmate of the man suspected of murdering a pregnant woman was arrested Sunday on an obstruction of justice charge, the FBI said. Myisha Ferrell was arrested in the death of 26-year-old Jessie Davis after sheriff's deputies and FBI agents broke down the door of her apartment Saturday night, agent Scott Wilson said.

The Stark County Sheriff's Department refused to discuss the arrest, saying any information made public would hurt their case. Ferrell was to be arraigned Monday, Wilson said.

The Summit County medical examiner on Sunday identified a body found in Cuyahoga Valley National Park as that of Davis. The dead, nearly full-term fetus was still in her womb.

Davis, of Lake Township near Canton, was reported missing after her mother found Davis' 2-year-old son, Blake, home alone, with bedroom furniture toppled and bleach spilled on the floor. Blake gave investigators their first clues, saying: "Mommy was crying. Mommy broke the table. Mommy's in rug."

Thousands of volunteers searched for Davis for several days, while investigators questioned Bobby Cutts Jr., 30, a police officer who is Davis' boyfriend and has an estranged wife. He is scheduled to be arraigned Monday.

Davis' relatives have said they believed Cutts, of North Canton, was the father of both Blake and the fetus Davis was carrying.

Justin Lindstrom, 27, an upstairs neighbor of Ferrell's, said officers spent two hours searching the woman's apartment before leaving with several full, brown paper bags and bottles of bleach from the basement.

Wilson would not describe what the deputies seized or say how Ferrell might have been involved.

Lindstrom said he had not seen the downstairs tenant over the weekend and rarely spoke to the woman, except to ask her to turn her music down. He said he didn't notice anything out of the ordinary around the time Davis disappeared.

"I heard loud noises in the middle of the night, every night," he said.

There was no immediate response to messages seeking comment Sunday from Davis' family members and Cutts' lawyer. Cutts' pastor, the Rev. C.A. Richmond, declined to comment as he entered a services in Canton on Sunday.

Davis' body was found in an area known as Top O' the World because of its elevation. The area contains a dirt road, a small dirt parking area and a couple of benches overlooking a grassy field.

The body was found in that field, said Roger Riggins, an investigator for the medical examiner's office.

Just down the road, someone posted a sign that said, "God bless you Jesse and Chloe, forever in our hearts." People had placed flowers and red and yellow ribbons just below a sign identifying the park.

Hi Blam

Any 20th century anthropological studies on this type of male behavior toward the mother and unborn?

This type of horror seems to be increasing - or appear to be.

I did find this feminist/cloning crepe at: http://home.att.net/~celesten/clone.html

“””For the first time the average American man was permitted a wide latitude of emotions and other forms of personal self-expression that under the unchallenged patriarchal system caused a man to be ostracized. He can now relate intimately to childrearing and even to childbearing, grow his hair long, cry, be a sexual object, talk about relationships, expect a degree of economic co-support from his spouse. For the average man of the fifties, such male freedoms were unthinkable. When the issue of patriarchy is once again addressed (as it must be), it will require the resources of many men as well as many women to fight for reproductive and other freedoms. Hey man, the gender revolution was and is about you as much as about anyone else! No one wants to get rid of fatherhood. It is patriarchy that has to go. For those who hoped for and fought for a new authentic gender freedom, the tide has turned and the waters are receding.””

However, after finding out this guy was married, she should have run to the nearest exit.

News reports say he separated from his wife in 2003. He just never got an official divorce. Jessie may not have even known he was officially still married

OK, cross out that line. Replace it with, when she got pregnant with the second baby and the father refuses to make a legal pact with her, she should have run to the nearest exit.

I guess my point is that this woman placed herself in the position where this could have happened to her.

Think of her standing in the middle of a freeway. Does the driver that hits her get away with it? No. Does she bear a fair bit of responsibility for placing herself in a dangerous position by not taking heed of the rules not to walk in the middle of freeways? Absolutely.

If feel horrible for the babies. They chose none of this. The stupid behavior of the “adults” made them orphans.

I don't know. My first thought was that she was killed because she was going to insist that he actually help support his own kids.

Do you expect another think coming?

Do you kill your plumber when his bill is due?

Bad Blam;)

Most places, if a woman goes on welfare, the government will come after the fathers for child support. It would have been a non-trivial amount of cash that would have been garnished from his paycheck for the next 18 years
