Speaking on behalf of the family, attorney Rick Pitinii has asked that the family be allowed adequate time to grieve Jessie's death before being inundated with questions about the case.

Jessie's family remained hopeful last week when police confirmed reports that a newborn girl was found on a doorstep in Wayne County, approximately 45 minutes from Jessie's home. The baby's umbilical cord was still attached — tied at the end with a rubber band. However, their hopes were dashed when the Wayne County Sheriff's Department announced that the baby was not Jessie's and that the infant belonged to a Wayne County woman who has since admitted leaving her newborn on the doorstep.
