The disappearance of a former teacher of the year took a dark turn when her taxidermist husband -- and the chief supect in her disapperance -- was found dead in an apparent suicide, Maryland police said today.

The body of Jesse Davis was found in the couple's home Wednesday night, three days after he reported his wife, Alice Davis, missing.

Police are now saying Jesse Davis, 58, was the main suspect in his wife's disappearance.

Alice Davis, 55, was last seen Sunday evening, when she allegedly left to go shopping at Walmart. Her husband reported her missing on Monday evening. She has still not been located.

In a press conference today, investigators from the Wicomico County Sheriff's Office said that they believed Jesse Davis knew exactly what happened to his wife.

"Jesse Davis initiated a deliberate, calculated and continuous course of deception and fabrications surrounding the disappearance of his wife," Sheriff Michael Lewis said.

Jesse Davis was under "constant surveillance" by deputies and on Wednesday night, a car pulled into the Davis driveway and someone entered the house, police said. Moments later, the person exited the house after observing blood on the kitchen floor. Deputies secured the perimeter and moved in.

Inside, they found "the body of 58-year-old Jesse Davis in his living room recliner. It appears he died from self-inflicted lacerations to the left arm. Nearby evidence supported this as well," Lewis said.

Unfortunately, Mr. Davis was a hunter and knew all kinds of places to hide a body.
My prayers continue for Alice Davis' family.

I'll move this on over to "Missing Found Deceased".  I didn't hold much hope Alice would be found alive.  At least now she can be laid to rest.     Thank you for posting the updated information Sister.  It's sad her life was taken.
