New information has been published that the FBI has put out a $10,000 reward for information in the ongoing case of the disappearance of Jesse Davis.
In other news on the case, the FBI has also questioned Jessie Davis' boyfriend, Bobby L. Cutts Jr. searching his home for her cell phone, quilt and other possible evidence. Cutts, who is a Canton Ohio police officer and the father of Jesse's two children (one of which she is pregnant with) has stated to news outlets that while police have told him he is not a suspect, he'd be " dumb and naive to think they weren’t treating " him as a suspect based on the events of recent days. The interview with the news source was recorded, and can be heard here.
I'll be honest here, it doesn't look good for Cutts. Even if you ignored the fact that he has had domestic violence issues in the past- the stats are set against him. One of the biggest dangers to a pregnant woman is the person they are in a relationship with. Sadly, DV is one of the leading killers. And, even without that, I doubt very many people will get past the case forever marked in our memories of Lacy Peterson.
And, let's be honest- a woman is more likely to be harmed or killed by someone that she know, than a stranger. Cutts, therefore, is the best suited person of interest at this point.
But, that's not meant to role out the lingering possibility that there was another motive behind Jesse Davis' disappearance. The horrific acts of Valerie Oskin , Lisa Montomgery, and Effie Goodson are enough to remind us that killing a woman for her child isn't something new.
And, as with every case- there is always the hope that Jesse's story will end different than most we hear about, and that she will be found- safe and ready to return to those that love her. I think that's the ending scenario we're all crossing our fingers for.

This just aired on Larry King Live. I'm not used to getting my info from his show- so I can't say how reliable it is. But the scroller on the screen said Cutts was read his rights by police.
In other strange news, dogs being used to help locate Jesse turned up a scent at a recently dug up area. Although no remains were found, the trained search dogs had indeed found something interesting... a freshly planted marijuana plot.
And, for all those interested in following the case even more, don't forget that tommorow night, America's Most Wanted will be featuring Jesse's disappearance. For more information, you can see their post on it.
CANTON The Federal Bureau of Investigation is offering a $10,000 reward for anyone with information that leads investigators to find Jessie Marie Davis, the pregnant mother who hasn’t been heard from in nearly a week.
At a press conference that ended minutes ago at the Stark County Sheriff’s Office, Chief Deputy Rick Perez said the department’s Web site has been inundated with approximately 500 tips — and some of those tips report possible sightings of Davis

New York (MedscapeWire) Feb 20 — The leading cause of death among pregnant women is homicide, according to a study published in the current issue of the Journal of Midwifery and Women's Health.
The study's authors reviewed 651 autopsy charts from the District of Columbia's Chief Medical Examiner's Office for cases from 1988 until 1996. The researchers discovered 13 homicides of pregnant women that had not been reported with the 21 maternal deaths from medical causes (eg, hemorrhage and infection). These 13 unreported deaths account for 38% of pregnancy-associated deaths.
