Ohio’s Killer Cop - Such a Generous Man

A pregnant woman only a short time away from giving birth went missing.
Searchers gathered in Canton, Ohio, Thursday to begin a sweep for a heavily pregnant woman believed to have disappeared last week.
Jessie Davis, whose baby is due July 3, was last heard from in a phone call with her mother on June 13. Two days later, her mother checked on Davis’s home and found it in shambles, with the furniture overturned, a comforter missing and Davis’s two-year-old son wandering around alone.
The little boy told investigators: “Mommy was crying. Mommy broke the table. Mommy’s in rug.”
More than 1,000 volunteers formed a line about two football fields long Thursday to search the rural areas around the home of the missing woman in northeast Ohio’s Lake Township.
It appears this missing woman was taken out of this world (along with the baby) by her boyfriend police officer pledged to protect and defend. I guess that only includes non-girlfriends and once the story is out… just how much she deserved what she got.
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.
It appears that another female helped in the cover up and has also been arrested. There will be double murder charges at this point because a baby was also killed in the murder.
In the meantime it appears “no one saw this coming” which is almost always hard to believe.
Cutts’ stepmother, Barbara Cutts, on Monday called her stepson a generous man who was good with kids and coached youth soccer, basketball and football. She said she and Cutts’ father last saw him Saturday at his house in Plain Township outside North Canton, where he appeared drained and exhausted.
“It’s very hard to accept,” said Barbara Cutts, 46, a nurse’s aide. “A lot of people are looking at him like a bad person, but he’s not, he really isn’t.”
Yes… certainly a role model for other officers and the community… including the children he coached. One might even say “hey, we all make mistakes”. This will be interesting to see how it unfolds. Unfortunately this story has already seen the loss of two lives and families will never get them back. The children are now without a mother… and watched on the sidelines until they caught him. Can anyone say death penalty?
