ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Family members of a missing pregnant woman say her ex-husband has died, leaving the future of the couple's 7-year-old daughter uncertain.

The parents of Amanda Jones say Jeffrey "Scott" Jones died Friday of unknown causes.

Amanda and Scott Jones married in 1999, separated in 2000 and divorced in 2002. Amanda Jones maintained custody of their daughter.

The 26-year-old woman went missing more than two years ago -- on August 14th, 2005. After Amanda Jones went missing, her daughter went to live with
her father, Scott Jones, and his wife.

Amanda Jones' parents have sought visitation rights in court. At the time of her disappearance, Jones was just days away from
giving birth to a son she planned to name Hayden Lucas.

No charges were ever filed and Amanda Jones' body has not been found.
