Watch how Canton is mourning Davis' death On Sunday, a source close to the investigation told CNN that Cutts, who fathered a child with Davis, helped police find her body in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, although authorities declined to confirm that information. Reporter Eric Mansfield of CNN affiliate WKYC said Cutts had shared details about the case Saturday with his family and a few off-duty police officers who were supporting him. According to Mansfield about two hours after Cutts provided information to police, authorities found Davis' remains after shifting their search from an area near her home to the park, located about 30 miles north in Summit County.

Police would disclose no details of what led investigators to Ferrell or how they believe she is connected to the case. But FBI agents searched Ferrell's home Saturday and retrieved several bags of items. Mansfield reported that the items included empty bleach bottles and duct tape.

Ferrell and Cutts attended high school together, according to Mansfield. Cutts, 30, is the father of Davis' 2-year-old son, Blake, and authorities say they believe he also was the father of Davis' unborn child. Cutts is married and has two children with other women.

He has professed his innocence. On Sunday, the county medical examiner's office announced it had positively identified the remains found, as Davis' adding fetal remains were also recovered. The cause of Davis' death was pending, the office said.

(Watch police announce discovery of body Officials have been tight-lipped about exactly where the body was found and how it was discovered. The identification of Davis' body ended a search by thousands of volunteers which was launched after family members and police could not contact Davis. During the initial search for Davis at her home, her mother found her son wandering alone in a dirty diaper and the house in disarray.

Furniture was broken, a lamp was toppled over and bleach had been spilled on the floor, police said. There were no signs of forced entry, and Davis' car keys and purse were in the home. But her cell phone and a comforter were missing, police said.
