Dead body is pregnant Jessie Marie Davis, official says
CANTON, Ohio (CNN) -- The body recovered Saturday in a northeastern Ohio park is that of Canton resident Jessie Marie Davis, who was pregnant when reported missing more than a week ago, the Summit County Medical Examiner's office said Sunday.In a phone recording, the examiner's office announced it had "positively identified the remains found," adding "fetal remains were also recovered."
The cause of death was pending, the office said.
Davis, 26, had been due to give birth in early July when she disappeared. She was last heard from June 13.
The examiners began the autopsy Sunday after the body was recovered in the area of Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Summit County.
Officials have been tight-lipped about exactly where the body was found and how it was discovered.
On Sunday, a source close to the investigation told CNN that Canton police patrolman Bobby Cutts Jr., 30, led police to the body.
Yet another heartbreaking ending to a heartbreaking story. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her son and family. May she rest in peace and may justice be served.
Found via CNN.
