Bobby Cutts Arrested and Charged

/in /by

This evening I had a lovely dinner with my family. We grilled and hickory-smoked some beautiful strip and rib-eye steaks. I must say dinner was divine. But sadly, after my family left and I turned on the news, I was saddened to see that it appears Jessie Davis’ body and her unborn child were found.

I certainly was not surprised by this news as I wrote my eyebrows were raised when I listened to Cutts speak with The Canton Rep on Thursday, June 21st.

Check back soon because I will reveal more clues that gave me pause last Wednesday night when I first heard the audio of Cutts. There were several more clues that queued me in that things weren’t as they appeared. I will share them with you. One of those clues was tone of voice.

Jessie Davis/Bobby Cutts, Jr.

/in , /by

The Canton Repository did an audio interview with Bobby Cutts, Jr. on June 19th. I have been curiously looking for video footage of Bobby Cutts, Jr. talking about the disappearance of his girlfriend, but I guess I am not going to get it. I would have loved to see his facial expressions when he talked to the Canton Rep, Todd Porter, the other day. Instead, I will have to settle for audio only.

I have listened to his audio-taped interview — and while I CANNOT draw the same conclusions I do when I watch someone, I can see if things are making sense, and are logical — and at this point, I must say my eyebrows are raised.

Todd Porter interviewed Cutts for a reasonable amount of time — at least 10 minutes from what I can tell — and what amazed me the most during that entire time is all he did was talk about himself. He didn’t once talk about Jessie or the baby. Cutts gives me a real strong feeling that he thinks he is the “victim” here by his choice of words. He even goes so far as to say the word “betrayed”. That really perplexes me.

Who does he feel is betraying him? Why is this all about him?

If I interviewed him, I’d have to find this out. Many spouses, boyfriends, and lovers are closely examined in a missing persons case — but when they are innocent — they don’t act like victims. They usually go public and state their innocence, and try to keep focus on finding their loved ones. They want to do all they can to help get their loved one back. We aren’t seeing this behavior in any vein from Cutts. Why?

Does he feel the police station where he worked is betraying him? Could that be why he feels betrayed?

TODD PORTER: Uh, how have uh, your co-workers and colleagues and, and supervisors at the Canton Police Department been throughout this process?

CUTTS: They’ve been very supportive. They told me they had my back in anything I need.

So, why is Cutts playing the victim? Why would he feel like a victim? He even said they weren’t calling him a suspect in the media.

TODD PORTER: Have the, have any authorities told you that you’ve been cleared in this, in this investigation?

BOBBY: No they, they, they have not told me that I have been cleared but as like I said, on the media, I mean they said to the media that I, me nor my wife are suspects but uh, I don’t feel that we’ve actually been treated as that was 100 percent true.

He isn’t giving us any strong indication that he is upset about this, or is he holding back his true feelings? If people are suggesting you might be a suspect, and you are innocent — what would you do? Would you say what Cutts is saying, or would you defend your innocence? Would you be clear and precise, or beat-around-the-bush?

The next statement below is the first statement within the interview that I heard, and it immediately caught my attention. You can tell he is clearly thinking as he is talking. He is not letting the words flow naturally.

TODD PORTER:
Bobby, what have the last five days been like for you?

(Do I hear laughter here? — or is this some object moving in the background? I can’t tell. If it is laughter, that is a big concern!)

CUTTS:
“The past five …five days.. have been a like nightmare that that …won’t end, like…every…every second of it , I mean when it seems like it’s turning… and gonna change… it goes back to same, or it gets worse … its different…the way I’ve been…. betrayed and just, I mean I haven’t been myself. I…I can’t sleep. I can’t eat. Anybody that knows me knows me that if I’m normal joking around and laughing…trying to have fun and make everyone else laugh and…it’s juss….just been hell.”

This statement perplexes me as well. It isn’t very coherent, it rambles on and on — and then I am perplexed by what it all means. When Cutts says “…every second of it , I mean when it seems like it’s turning… and gonna change… it goes back to same, or it gets worse … its different…“. What is Cutts referring to?

What’s been “turning”? What gives him the impression “it” (whatever it is) is going to change? He continues “…and it goes back to being the same, or it gets worse.”

What has gotten worse? From the media, we haven’t received any clues that there is any new evidence with regards to the police finding Davis. There have been no false hopes, no false leads, etc. This statement is perplexing. What has gone back to the same? What is he talking about here?

I have to wonder is Cutts referring to being looked at as a suspect. Is that his nightmare? Or is his nightmare that his girlfriend disappeared?

If your girlfriend disappeared with your unborn child — which of the two would be a priority for you — nurturing your feeling-like-a-victim, or fighting for her safe return? This is a man who says he can’t eat or sleep, but ironically he does have it within him to do an interview to talk about himself. He can do that — but he can’t muster anything for Jessie? Who is Cutts concerned about?

I found the next two statements odd too. Why does Bobby have to be prompted to talk about the unborn child he is expecting? Isn’t this all about Davis and her unborn child in the first place?

TODD PORTER: Um, just for the record and to clear this up, how many children do you have? Um…

CUTTS: Cur- currently I have three children.

TODD PORTER: And expecting a fourth with Jessie, correct?

CUTTS: Possibly, yes.

I found the words “currently” and “possibly” odd as well.

Last, wasn’t Bobby Cutts supposed to pick up or drop off his son on Thursday? Why then was the child still home alone on Friday? I find it odd if he was close to his girlfriend that he wasn’t the one to figure out she was missing.

These are just a handful of things that I see that are odd. At this point, I think all eyes should remain on Cutts as a suspect. My eyebrows are most certainly raised by his behavior. If any video comes out — please let me know.

Extrapolation

/in , /by

One thing I love to do when I first meet someone is see if I can identify who they are by quick observations. You can tell a lot of information about someone by their appearance, how fast or slow they move, how fast or slow they talk, the words that are spoken, their facial expressions, their demeanor, responses and general behavior. Usually in about a minute or two, I can make some pretty accurate observations.

The other day I was out of town on business, and I had some time to kill so I went into Best Buy to look at pocket cameras. I had no intention of talking to anyone because I knew what I wanted, but I caught an employee’s eye on my fast approach to the cameras.

He was energetic and loudly boasted, “Can I help you? I see you are looking at cameras. I know a lot about cameras. Maybe I can help you? I don’t work on commission so if you don’t buy anything — that’s okay with me.”

I could clearly see in his eye, he found me attractive so that is why he approached me. But geeze, he was good. He said the right things to get through my thick skull so I would listen. I’m one tough customer– and he got through to me with the ‘right words’ which was impressive! He was good on his feet. So I decided what the heck, he’s not on commission — so what does it hurt to give him a listen. I told him which camera I was looking at– and he went into a great spiel.

This young man had a glisten in his eyes. He was full of life, and vigor. He was short in stature, yet had a strength about him. He was clean cut, and precise –and he knew his information.

I took one look at him and said under my breathe, “You’ve got it. You’ve got the natural sales talent so why are you working here for an hourly rate?? You are quick witted, smart and intelligent. You can sell anything! You have a natural gift to read people too, I suspect (he nodded yes). If you haven’t tried sales, GO — GO FIND A JOB IN SALES where you work on commission because you will sell and sell well!! You will be very successful at it.”

The young guy in his late twenties blushed at me, but opened right up. He told me that he had done sales and liked it a lot — but in the industry where he worked — he was forced to be dishonest and hated it. He said he had too big of a heart to take people. I believed him.

I threw out a handful of businesses that he should try — and told him to stand on his ethics — there are jobs and businesses where he can sell and sell honestly — and still make a great living. I could see his wheels spinning.

Then he told me he’d love it if I talk to his boss – and give my compliments of him being a good salesman. I was happy to do so.

We approached his boss, the manager, and we chatted. I told the manager this guy here was one exceptionally talented employee — and he should be proud to have him. The young guy beamed. He told his manager I have an ability to read people really well.

Looking at the manager, I got a sense he was a nice guy to have for a boss, he was a straight-shooter who worked to keep his employees happy. He wasn’t hard to work for, difficult or a pain-in-the-butt. This was the type of manager most people hope to work for — so I decided to see if I was right.

“I do read people pretty well,” I said. “So, let’s see how I do with you,” As I glanced at the manager I said, “You hit me as a good boss, someone who is a straight-shooter and pretty easy to work for.”

Laughter broke out between the two guys before me.

“Yep, he’s a straight shooter” said the employee with the natural sales ability.

“He’s the kind of boss you want, isn’t he? He is easy going, and works with you. He’s a generally nice guy. He’s not difficult or hard to work with, is he?”

“No,” said the natural saleman. “He is a good boss.”

I looked at the manager and he replied, “I am a straight-shooter. What can I say?”

The two were laughing yet their eyes were wide open as they listened to me. You could feel their amazement at my strategic guesswork.

I then went on about the employee with the natural sales ability (the salesman) and I said I suspect he could be a prankster. He hits me as the type to hide what you might be looking for — as a joke. Yes?

They both looked at me and said no, he isn’t like that. He’s pretty serious. He’s not a jokester.

So, I missed one. I’m not perfect by any means, but I can hone in quickly on personality types 🙂

I love doing this — and better yet — people love it too — when you talk about them. It’s a great conversation starter. But what is hard is when someone asks me to read someone who is not-so-nice, not full of happiness and joy — and I see a more sinister, untrustworthy side. I refuse to talk about that! That’s where I get short on words and don’t know what to say!!! It has created a few awkward moments for me. I struggle to find something nice and accurate to say! Thankfully that doesn’t happen often.
