CANTON, Ohio -- The search has continued on Friday for 26-year-old Jessie Davis, the pregnant Stark County, Ohio, woman who has been missing since last week.
About 700 volunteers turned out for the massive search that is being led by Texas Equusearch, a spokeswoman said.
By 8 a.m., about 150 people had already arrived at the Greentown Fire Department for the search.
The first two buses loaded with searchers left the Greentown Fire Department at about 9:15 a.m. The buses were loaded to standing room only. Each were each filled with 50 searchers, and many carried backpacks, work gloves and bottled water.
Twelve search teams are spreading out over a 12-mile area in Stark County.
More search groups were set to be sent out during the afternoon hours. Volunteers must be 18 years old and must fill out forms and provide a driver's license before joining the efforts.
Friday's search will continue until sundown, and if necessary, it will start up again at 8:30 a.m. Saturday.
Davis was reported missing last Friday after her mother went to her house, finding it in disarray and finding Davis' 2-year-old son Blake alone.
About 1,800 people turned out for Thursday's search. One search group came across a mound of freshly dug dirt, but authorities said it turned out to be a plot dug for marijuana growing.
Cindy Wisdom, case manager for Texas EquuSearch, said Friday's search will focus more on wooded areas and open fields.
EquuSearch will use sonar and drones in the search. K-9 units are continuing to sniff around, and there are several certified search dogs at work.
Meanwhile, the FBI is going through boxes and bags that they removed from the home of Davis' boyfriend, Bobby Cutts Jr. during two searches in recent days. He has not been arrested or charged, nor have authorities called him a suspect.
Investigators are also looking over surveillance video from a Canton Champp's bar where Cutts was seen Wednesday night.
That was the last time Davis' family heard from her.
Davis' mother, Patricia Porter, spoke to the national media Friday morning, and she said she considers Cutts a suspect.
Porter said 2-year-old Blake misses his mom and talks about her.
She said Blake is really what is keeping the family going at this point.
Blake gave some clues to the case when Porter found him last Friday alone in Davis' duplex. He said, "Mommy broke the table," and "Mommy's in the rug," police said.
Baby On Doorstep Not Davis'
A newborn found abandoned on a Wooster doorstep is not related to Davis, the Wayne County Sheriff's Department confirmed Friday.
The infant girl was discovered in a wicker basket outside an East Messner Street home on Tuesday.
It was thought that the baby could have been that of Davis, but the sheriff's department has identified the baby girl's mother as a 30-year-old Franklin Township woman.
The baby is at Wooster Community Hospital and is in good condition.
Prayer Vigil Held
Thousands of people across northeast Ohio are praying for Davis and her family, and several hundred showed their support during a prayer vigil at the Davis family's church.
The vigil was held at Akron's House of the Lord Church. The Davises have been members for more than a decade.
The group prayed for the family from 6 to 8 p.m.
"We're just here to pray for her and lift them up at this time. I can only imagine what they would be going through as a parent myself. And just realizing that this is a horrendous time for the them. My prayers and the churches prayers go out to them," said Katrinka Carlton.
