A body believed to be that of Jessie Marie Davis, a pregnant Ohio woman who’d been missing for ten days and the subject of major national media attention, was found on Saturday in a wooded area known as the Top O' the World in the Hampton Hills Metro Park, located within the national park. A police officer with whom Davis had a relationship was arrested in connection with her disappearance. Canton police patrolman Bobby Cutts Jr., 30, is facing charges of two counts of murder in the deaths of Davis, 26, and her unborn child. The FBI contacted the park on Saturday afternoon, seeking assistance in securing the scene. At that time, it wasn’t clear whether the land was owned by Metro Parks, Serving Summit County, or Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Five NPS rangers responded to Top O' The World in Hampton Hills Metro Park, where an intensive evidence search by the FBI was underway. Metro Parks rangers were called as soon as jurisdiction was determined. Rangers secured the scene by closing Top O' The World and Hampton Hills trail system as well as access points along the road. Metro Parks, Serving Summit County, remained at Top O' The World once the scene was cleared due to an influx of media and the public. They were assisted by NPS rangers. Top O' The World was closed to the public.
