Missing Pregnant Woman

Jessie Davis, a 26-year-old woman who is nine months pregnant, has been missing from her Ohio home. Jessie's mother last talked with Jessie on the phone on Wednesday June 13. Two days later, she checked on her daughter and found her two-year-old grandson home alone. The house was in disarray and the little boy told grandma, "Mommy broke table" and "Mommy's in the rug." Jessie's mom called 911.

Police officer Bobby Cutts is the father of the 2-year-old boy and the unborn baby. Apparently, Cutts is still married to another woman, although they are separated, who knows about Jessie's pregnancy.

Many people (especially Jessie's parents) fear foul play although no suspect has been named. I read the news and couldn't stop praying and wondering. Laci and Scott Peterson came to mind. Laci went missing while eight months pregnant with her first child (to be named) Conner. Jessie Davis was going to name her unborn daughter Chloe. Both men were involved with another woman (Peterson's mistress and Cutts' wife). Is having an affair outside of marriage really innocent?

Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil (Proverbs 3:7).
