CSI: North Canton, Ohio - The Media, The Police, and The FBI

While sanding out yet another neck I watched FOX News today. Most prevalent were the floods in Texas and the story of a missing pregnant woman named Jessie Davis.
What I couldn't understand was why the media (which I watched all weekend long) never once mentioned the woman until Monday morning. The woman was reported missing on Friday - that was three full days before anyone but the family and police knew anything about it.

Have you ever watched "48 Hours"? For those of you who haven't, it's a show about police investigators and the crimes that they attempt to solve (usually murders) within the golden "48 Hours" after the crime was committed. If the crime has not been solved within that relatively small time frame, most investigators agree that the crime may go unsolved. Missing persons and probable murder victims are the most vulnerable - by the time 49 hours have elapsed their murderers may have travelled far out of state, cleaned up evidence, obtained false alibis, or simply destroyed the murder weapon and/or ditched a body.

In the case of Jessie Davis, the 48 hours have already elapsed. Certainly the police are not at fault, having lost a day and a half just because the victim had not been heard from. But the viable remaining hours were used to gather evidence rather than to alert the media. It is entirely possible that this woman may still be alive - but not seeing her face or knowing she was missing, many of the public may have turned an ignorant eye to what could have been crucial leads.

I'm also debating the evidence that came out in the reports - the missing comforter, the mattress over turned, her purse emptied on the floor, table lamps tossed about, the bottle of bleach on the floor, bleach smell in the house, the baby left alone, no evidence of tampering or break-in, and finally - the toddler's statements: "Mommy was crying", "Mommy broke the table", and "Mommy was in the rug".
All of this leads to some conclusions:
1. she knew the person who came in
2. there was violence (the broken table and lamp stands)
3. evidence was destroyed and taken from the home
4. robbery may have been a motive

The next problem is to figure out what actually happened.
We can pretty much rule out that Jessie Davis killed someone and fled, since she is about to give birth. She could not possibly have dragged a body to dispose of it.
So what are we left with?
Put yourself in her shoes.
I'm betting that she had another boyfriend. He came over to ask for money.
When she said she had none, he became abusive, took her purse, emptied it, and upon finding some small bills and her cell phone, demanded that she turn over her bank cards or credit cards. She began to cry, I'm sure, and asked that her son be spared this trauma. The "boyfriend" became enraged, and probably told her something that he didn't like about the cop/father, and told her she was to get money from him if possible.
She probably refused, and was then slapped or hit. She fell on the table, and broke her back, neck, or became unconscious. Her assailant then lost control of the situation. He did not know that the child was awake and watching. He lost his plan, and had to cover himself. He took the bedclothes, wrapped up the body, went to the kitchen and got out the bleach (having watched "C.S.I." and seen it done on an episode) and poured the bleach wherever the pool of blood was. He then got wise and perhaps got a spray bottle, and sprayed the bed, mattress, table, and the surrounding areas to hide the blood spatter (another thing he could have learned from "C.S.I". He probably wiped all door knobs that he may have touched, to hide his prints. He then transported the body to his vehicle, gave the child something to distract him, and left.

What did he fail to do?
1. probably did not vacuum the area - leaving body evidence in the form of hairs and fibers
2. probably neglected to clean his prints from her purse or purse handle
3. left prints on the bleach can
4. may have left prints around the bathroom sink
5. probably used her toilet before leaving - and left hair and/or epithelials on, around or in the toilet
6. may have left blood or bleach prints of his shoes on other floor surfaces
7. may have left evidence in the driveway (fibers, blood, loose buttons, stuff from his vehicle)

Let's hope that this person, whoever he may be, will give up to the police before he is nabbed due to DNA and fingerprint evidence at the scene.
All of Jesse's friends will no doubt be interviewed. This person, whoever he (or possibly she) may be, will be found and tested in the long run.
The only problem with that is - time is ticking away.

Do you have opinions as to what happened?
Have you found out something new on the news?
Go ahead and report it in this thread by posting a comment.
Let's see if we get this one right, or wrong.

And here's hoping that when the FBI and police finally do get her cell phone records, that Jesse is found alive. If she's injured or in shock, the sooner the better for her and her unborn child.
I also reach out to her family in saying how sorry I am that they are going through this. The person who did this should be found quickly and punished accordingly as the law permits.
