Jacque Waller Missing: Husband James Clay Waller Tells Dad “I Killed Her”

Posted by BOC Staff | Cape Girardeau Sheriffs Office,Clay Waller,Jacque Sue Waller,Jacque Sue Waller | Thursday 8 September 2011 6:25 pm

Clay Waller,  in US District Court today on charges he threatened his wife’s relatives in an email exchange, Prosecutors say he confessed to the premeditated murder of Jacque Rawson Waller.

Waller was subsequently indicted this afternoon on the threat charges and proceedings immediately changed to a bond hearing for the former Cape Girardeau deputy.  Waller is also currently on bond for recent charges  he made threats to his former girlfriend and her estranged husband, as well as facing economic fraud allegations involving his  failing construction business.

Federal Prosecutor Larry Ferrell stated in the  bond hearing what was likely presented earlier in the closed session of the  grand jury.  Ferrell claimed there was sufficient evidence that Waller killed his wife, and buried her in a hole he dug beforehand,  or at least, that is what he told his Father.

Ferrell went on to say there is evidence in the ongoing investigation into the disappearance of Jacque Waller, that implicates her husband, including carpeting he re-sected and hid in floorboards in the family home.

Forensic lab tests  have confirmed  the samples contain Jacque’s blood.

Clay Waller has not  been charged with any offenses related to the disappearance of Jacque Waller,  mother of the former couples 5 year old triplets.

Avery, Addison and Maddox Waller have been in the custody of their maternal grandparents since their mother was reported missing.

    There’s enough “circumstantial evidence” in this case to get a conviction, IMO. It would really be nice to be able to locate her body, so she could have a proper burial.

    There is to someone in this case I would like to see the contrast if you catch my drift.

    They were featured elsewhere several times, you know how I roll, but I would have sent the same post as you did if I was not aware. I value that immensely, thank you

    Blink, what I will never understand with these cases is that I look at these babies and think what could possess someone to take something so precious away from them. God bless these innocent babies and too many others who walk in the same shoes!!!!

  5. semo68 says:

    My co-workers and I were talking about this today, and we all suspect that Clay will not breathe a word of where he put Jacque until he’s offered a plea bargain in exchange for lesser charges or reduced sentence. Just sayin….

    Agreed, he knows the game, but he never, ever will. He is a true narcissist. I feel good about them finding Jacque on their own, but I am not sure I buy that this lovely lady is buried in a grave.

    The pictures of the children’s faces should be blurred. They have a right to some privacy.

    The images were taken with the permission of their guardians, and have been published previously in a few different outlets; I chose them for a specific reason, but I applaud your query.

    Blah blah blah…mistress on the side…wanted the freedom to pursue that ‘new life’…blah blah…we’ve seen it all before, too many times. I just DON’T understand why these sick men feel the need to resort to MURDER to accomplish this. Ever heard of divorce? I know they fear the societal stigma and worry what their kids would think, but how do ya think you’ll look in an orange jumpsuit? At least, unlike other cases, the kids are with the grandparents.

  8. A Texas Grandfather says:

    “Carpet re-sected and hid under the floorboards”. To sect means to divide into pieces. Re often means to perform something again. You guys are going to make me get out the 20 lb dictionary. LoL

    The blood alone should be enough to begin building a case against this worthless human.

    Any man convicted of taking the life of the mother of his children should be made to spend a month in stocks where all in the community can see what a piece of human garbage looks like.

    This dude is a new breed of creeper, I am sad to say. Seems odd given the cases I cover, but he is.

    This is so sad. I just don’t understand how a husband/father can commit such a horrible crime. These men don’t seem to think anything of the children they leave behind. My prayers for Jacque’s family and her adorable children.

    The only saving grace to this is that he did not harm his children. LE did an outstanding job on this case working together, and frankly, getting creative to get him off the street. I do not believe he will ever be out of prison again, unless he is granted some sort of LE furlough to lead LE to Jacque’s remains if it comes to that.

    These cases are as sad and cruel as they come- this trio (and omg how cute are they?)

    My thoughts and prayers are with Jacque, her children and her family today.

    This dude needs to be locked up forever. He is dangerous, very dangerous, to anyone who crosses his path. Now that he has killed once, he has nothing to lose by doing so again from a penalty perspective.

  11. Tar Heel Gal says:

    From the link maryrose’s daughter#1 posted from kfvs12: “According to the affidavit, blood spatter was found in the defendant’s home on two walls. Police also found several pieces of cut up carpet and carpet pad from a crawl space in the basement that were hidden out of view. The Missouri State Highway Patrol Crime Lab reported the blood on the two walls and blood of a piece of carpet contained Jacque Waller’s DNA.

    Waller told police Jacque had an accident in the kitchen which caused her face to bleed. According to the affidavit, Clay said, “she started bleeding like a….lot.” He said she started to run to the bathroom, but tripped in the hallway and fell, according to the affidavit.

    What a monster…what kind of kitchen accident causes one’s face to bleed?! Stick your head in the food processor?! I hope all LEs have crossed and dotted. Had several cases here in NC recently that had some hinky LE issues. Praying her family & friends can have her back soon.

    Hee–And thanks to that kfvs12 link, I’ve learned they close roads in IL for snake & frog migration, hee!

    Thank you for the update, Ms. Blink. Hugs from NC

  12. Blink says:

    I would like anyone of the troll yahoos that know who you are to read this affidavit very, very carefully.

    This man was arrested on a allegedly “anonymous” post on a topix site, where he threatened someone openly.

    The law is very clear on this issue, and that is just the Federal statute. You cannot harrass or threaten people on the web for any reason and think you cannot be prosecuted. You can and you will.

    What’s horrifying is reading Jacque’s (alleged) diary documenting her husband’s threats in the year prior to her disappearance.

    If her diary is legitimate, he made it very clear that he would kill her or the children or himself. He is a loose cannon. Scary dude.

  17. GriffyMom says:

    Stories like this break my heart and, quite honestly, terrify me. I am happily remarried now to a wonderful man but when I left my first husband I walked away from everything. He was a very angry, controlling, mentally abusive husband and father. I had no idea what he would do when I said I wanted out. I didn’t ask for a share of the house, the cars, the investments, etc. To him, money and possessions meant status and I feared his reaction to losing that. I think that is what it’s about for Waller and the many others. They often have the other woman already so it isn’t about losing the love of their life. It’s status.

    My new husband and I live paycheck to paycheck but I’ve never been happier. The safety of myself and my children was all that matter. It’s such a sad statement that women have to slink away in the night taking nothing just to get out safely.

  20. osu says:

    Wow, such a chilling diary. It is so unfortunate that something wasn’t done to him before this happened. Thank the Lord the kids are safe, men like that will kill the children because they want so much to hurt their mother..

  21. NaNa says:

    Yeah, Jacque had an ‘accident’ in the kitchen that made her face bleed. (like a knife slashing her face or throat maybe?)

    I will never understand a monster that has no feelings for another human being. It’s not within my comprehension.

    I agree with one of the other comments posted earlier. If you though having a girlfriend and being exposed to the stuff your kids might hear about you was bad. Wait until they hear about you killing their Mother and spending the rest of your life in prison, labeled as the monster that you are. How do you think these innocent babies will feel about kids saying “you’re Dad is a freak, a monster?”. The kids will suffer tremendously.

    Sick, sick…purely selfish, sickening to the core, thinking.

    His horrible story about Jacque hurting “herself” and bleeding “in the kitchen” decsription of yelling, falling, etc. is, I think, exactly how she died. Just not in that order and not by anything other than his hands.

    Creepy that lately, this story is from my hometown and the WM3 is local now. *shivers*

    I feel so badly for Cheryl, those 3 babies, Jacque’s parents, and Jacque’s loss in itself, of life, love, and many happy years with those babies free of Clay Waller. What a D*%K.

    RIP Jacque.

    Blink, do you know if side sonar is being used and would it be effective in the quarries–pits and all?

    I got a call on this today, I am not able to comment on search efforts, I know you understand.

    IN GENERAL: in a quarry situation, depending on the details of the aquatic environment and burial, sidescan is not usually effective with this much time passed. Deep and irregular depth bodies of water are a crapshoot without intelligence. My training leans toward an aquatic recovery, but there are other reasons in terms of Clay’s background, evidence and profile that are more consistent with a ground burial of sorts.

    I know the claim is he planned this, but I disagree. He may have planned it in terms of “If she does not see things my way how do I envision this playing out?” However, he is a former cop.

    If a former cop effs up this bad, in his own damn jurisdiction, he is either dirty, or this was the best laid plan.. paved with ill intent. Emphasis on the paved.

    I am moved by the love shown to each other by the Waller children, every image I see, it radiates.

    If I were not already a triplet ( lol, seperated by 3 and 4 years respectively) I would long to be one.

    That ginger, Addison, she has her Momma’s moxy- mark my words.

    GriffyMom

    Thank you for sharing. IMO you were very wise in leaving all behind. There are men out there who believe they own everything including their children and wife.

    To confront such a person alone is a prescription for possible death.
    These people have built up their belief over a long period of time. When they do not get what they want, violence often happens.
    These people are completely devoid of love and caring. It is all about themselves.

    I would like to have a way to teach women about such behavior so they would have the knowledge to recognize such behavior early on and not place themselves at risk.

    In this case, I don’t believe he acted alone, unless he hitched a ride with someone who did not live in the area. The auto left on the side of the highway is the reason I make that statement.

    IMO this woman was killed in that house and the body either placed in the Mississippi River or taken across the river into Illinois somewhere toward the town of Anna and dumped or buried.

  25. A Texas Grandfather says:

    I hope the maternal grandparents have the resources to raise the children. Maybe there is a maternal aunt and a caring uncle that can help.

    Just to think what it would be like as a child to grow up with the knowledge that your father killed your mother makes me shudder. I know that the grandparents are going to keep the details away from the children, but someday the truth will need to be told.

  27. Sharai says:

    Texas Grandfather, I say this with the utmost respect, this is not a gender based disorder, there are women out there who believe the same narcissistic lie. They have a belief that they are entitled to anything and everything they so want and/or desire including their children, their spouse, and any and all property and/or finances within their reach.

    For the last year, I have been conducting research and have discovered countless numbers of families, not only in America but also throughout the free world whose lives are being destroyed figuratively and literally by selfish, seductive, evil individuals. My heart’s desire is to awaken society to the presence of these evil culprits among us. They need to be stopped. I have gained much knowledge through my research and hope to be able to become skilled in identifying these individuals so that I might teach others to do the same before they become involved in any type of relationship.

    These parasitic individuals hone in on the most vulnerable and sensitive members of society seeking to access, possess, and use their human and material assets. They have no empathy, no concern for anyone besides themselves. There are numerous communities, families, and children imprisoned within the thralls of this corruption. Society needs to recognize the presence of malevolent individuals, educate the masses, and find a means to subdue and/or eradicate their tortuous presence.

    Shalom, Sharai

  28. A Texas Grandfather says:

    Sharai

    Thanks for your reply. Yes, I agree that it is not limited to men. However, few women carry it to the point of killing the other partner.
    They instead, create a living “hell on earth” for all those in the family.

    I appauld you for the research in an effort to find a way to help society understand and control the opportunities of these individuals who prey on others. Young people are often into a situation because they do not have the knowledge to look at the behavior of a person and understand that they are potentially dangerous.

    We do not have adequate knowledge of how our brains and the genes interact to create these people. I firmly believe, that in time, medical science will gain an understanding of our DNA to the point of making it possible to identify them at birth.

    In the present time, the best solution is education. Women who are caught in a marriage to a male of this type often find it hard to believe that they are in danger. We also need to train our legal people associated with family law to counsel women in these situations.

  29. Actually, the tripps are being raised by Jacque’s sister, Cheryl and brother-in-law. Grandma & Grandpa Rawson help out when they can. I live in Jackson, Mo., close to where Jacque turned up missing from. Our property is located in the area between the house (where she was probably murdered) and I-55 where her SUV was found. We searched our property as requested by the Rawson family. That was creepy. These things happen in other places, not where we live!!
    Then, then little Breeann Rodriguez turned up missing last month from Senath, Mo., I was sick over it. I don’t understand what evil lives in the heart of a man that does this to a child. I quit trying to understand, but I pity that man. Where I come from, we look out for children. Even if, they’re not our own. We do what we can to ensure their safety.
    Thank you for all you do, Blink.

    To Dad-if the worst is true… give them the gift of ending this nightmare and the hope of beginning to move forward- let them have their Mommy back to mourn and respectfully say their goodbyes.
    Show them that you love them by having the courage and integrity to admit your wrongdoings. Face the future telling the complete truth of what happened to their Mommy, start making amends by taking responsibility for what occured.

    Be more than the criminals you used to work so hard to put away- be a man who is willing to face justice-

    Tell the truth and turn yourself in. Your wife deserves to RIP and your children deserve to have a father who will try his hardest to set things right and make amends, nomatter the sentence.

  33. SouthernMom says:

    Blink – has the following case come up on your radar screen as of yet? This is very local to me but already coverage has waned. This teacher who has been here for years (from Belgium) disappeared in June. Her husband and children left for South America immediately after her last known siting on a supposedly planned trip. Apparently her husband is not cooperating and I’m not even sure if he has been found for sure….obviously he is not concerned about her disappearance or he would be here looking of her. Not suggesting you write an article on her, but was wondering if you had heard about it and if you knew if any progress has been made.

    God bless you and yours for all you do and please don’t feel obligated to respond if it’s just not on your radar.

  34. GeorgiaDad says:

    There is an interesting contrast between this case and the Susan Powell case. In this case the father-in-law appears to be helping, in the other case the FIL seems to be covering up for his son (or possibly even involved more directly). I have never read the details of how LE came to know about the confession, but it takes great courage to do the right thing when it may put your child in jail for the rest of his life.

    The description of events in the alleged confession don’t add up to me. If the perp had planned this in advance, going as far as digging the hole in advance, how did he botch the actual murder so badly that there was blood on the walls and carpet? I suspect he had planned to kill her, but the particular time and place was not planned. Her body is probably very well hidden and likely not to be found without further confession.. On the other hand, he talks to much and will likely give away enough clues to assist LE.

  35. Clay Waller appeared in court today, inre: charges of threatening to kill Jacque’s sister Cheryl. The federal prosecutor is trying to get the judge to hold Waller without bond, using the argument that Waller had made threats to Jacque & now she’s missing and/or dead.

    It’s interesting to learn that Waller’s lawyers are implying that his 71 year old father has mental issues that make him a poor historian. Clay Waller’s teenage son was also present & told a reporter that he visited his grandfather weekly and that he is fine. (It’s worth noting that JC Waller is not supporting his father)

    Here is a great book that helps to explain what can happen when a women leaves an abusive or deviant man: ‘Splitting: Protecting Yourself While Divorcing Someone With Borderline or Narcissistic Personality Disorder’. http://www.amazon.com/Splitting-Protecting-Borderline-Narcissistic-Personality/dp/1608820254/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_1

    This book is written by Bill Eddy a a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Attorney,Mediator and the President of High Conflict Institute. The book gives you great insight into all aspects of breaking free from someone with a personality disorder. It gives a clear understanding of what you are dealing with and is very helpful in that it tells the reader how to protect him/herself.

    I wish every Judge and Attorney would read this book!

    I hope Jacque is found soon.

    Thanks for the link. This is a brand new book, copyright 2011.

    This is a book about people who are trying to make the steps to end a marriage to someone who has NPD. This would certainly be applicable to the missing lady in this case, her attorney and family.

    Your next to last sentence is so true.

    My plea is for a method to help young people acqure the skills to recognize such behavior in a boyfriend or girlfrind prior to making the commitment to a marriage. This would prevent children from experiencing the stress of such a poor relationship. It would also begin to eliminate learned behavior in children from such a parent.

  38. Survivor says:

    @MarlaMe

    Thank you! I endured it for years right up until my two young children were placed in the middle of a physical altercation. It was then time to go. Carefully planned and with the full support of my own family, it was horrible. The ex showed up at my parent’s doorstep at all hours in tears and begging. At that point and with so much water under the bridge, all I could do was laugh. I was finally safe and so were my children. After being brough home three previous times with a 9mm in my face, I could not give in. Had I not left when I did with the support system I had, I knew in my gut that somebody was going to die.

    Women everywhere have to know there is a way. It has to be safe, secure and with help. Please get it. Don’t do this alone. You will not survive. My heart hearts for these children. Jacque did not deserve this and, unfortunately, mental health exams are not required for a marriage license. I learned too late that he was schitzophrenic and an alcoholic,

    My heart is hurting again for yet another who could not make it out alive. God bless those beautiful children and help them move past, successfully, what coule haunt them forever with details.

  39. Sharai says:

    Again, with all due respect, abuse is not a gender-based characteristic. Likewise, Cluster B personality disorders, which includes, antisocial, borderline, histrionic, and narcissist personality disorders are also not gender based. These mental disorders are a product of both biology and environment. One’s parents or primary caretakers have the most profound effect on the development of an individual’s brain, as their “unconscious minds are our first reality.” According to Crabbe, Phillips & LeDoux, “Our brains are built in the enigmatic interface between experience and genetics where nurture and nature become one.” Thus indicating that the interactions with our primary caretakers in the early years of our lives have a “disproportionate impact on the development of neural systems.”

    Personality disorders most associated with violent behavior develop over time along a spectrum, thus identification at birth is not possible. However, identification of individuals exhibiting characteristics associated with these disorders currently is possible and is vital for the well-being of children born into or placed in their care. Males as well as females have been diagnosed with cluster B disorders. Children are the most vulnerable to their abuse while significant others as well as elderly parents are victims as well. Neurological research is rapidly developing within this realm. The Neuroscience of Human Relationship by Louis Cozolino offers an excellent introduction into this arena.

    I did not mention in my previous post that earlier this summer, prior to publication, I put my name on a list and am currently utilizing the book you mentioned, Splitting: Protecting Yourself While Divorcing Someone With Borderline or Narcissistic Personality Disorder. My husband and I are currently walking with our son through the maze of divorcing his severely mentally ill young wife and mother. The most important impetus of this endeavor is for our son to obtain custody of their four preschool age children, who have suffered greatly under her care.

    You see, Texas Grandfather, my heart’s desire to awaken society to the presence of evil culprits among us has arisen quite naturally from my passion to realize justice for my son and his four little boys. I worked in a domestic violence shelter for three years and up until this year, I would have agreed with your thoughts that men are more likely be the abuser in relationships. However, my work as a counselor as well as my experience with my daughter-in-law has awakened me to the fact that females in our society have become increasingly more violent. I suspect this may be a result of a combination of factors including the feminist (I was an avid follower) movement and the decision of mothers to raise their sons to be more sensitive. This has led to the perfect storm, the present scenario where violent women are protected from their victims rather than being held accountable for their abusive behavior.

    I think we need to remove the gender aspect and look at people as human individuals who have a propensity to harm others. We need to teach our children, adolescents, other adults, male, and female the identifying characteristics of these dangerous individuals. We all need to be able to readily identify individuals, young and old, who have little or no emotional control, little or no empathy, and a unique capacity to flatter, manipulate, control, and abuse others emotionally, psychologically, financially, and physically. We need this, yesterday.

    Shalom, Sharai

  40. Sharai says:

    I just had the opportunity to read the affidavit. Waller is beyond pathological, he is diabolical. This man ought to have been compelled to get a psychological evaluation and indefinitely detained within a locked facility. He is/was a danger not only to himself but anyone who crossed his path. What a shame. I am so saddened that he was able to have access to his children and estranged wife. I live in Missouri, we failed to protect Jacque. :( Shalom, Sharai

  41. Al says:

    @ Sharai – I don’t know of a way to really protect someone in Jacque’s position when young children are involved. The children makes avoiding her spouse impossible. In many cases that I have read, the mother loses her life because of her unwillingness to run and leave her children. The only solution I have come up with is controversial and requires the woman to truly realize that her life and the lives of her children are in danger. At that point she has to be willing to take control and ACT. I believe these women should be trained to protect themselves using whatever means it requires.
    LE cannot protect them 24/7. They will only be there to try and prosecute the perp AFTER the damage is done.

  42. Sharai says:

    I agree, the situation is quite contentious. I believe there is a problematic disconnect between the court system, the mental health field, and the social work system that enables these types of circumstances. The legal system’s decision-making mantra has always been to adhere to, “What is in the best interest of the child.” This is often interpreted and played out as an order for children to spend time with both parents. While this is appropriate and psychologically beneficial in most divorce settings, it is not in all circumstances the wisest of court ordered actions. Exchanging children becomes a very dangerous scenario for some.

    I take issue with the lack of adequate psychological testing being conducted with individuals who have a history of volatile behavior. Too little emphasis is placed on this aspect during divorce proceedings. Too often questionable behavior is interpreted as normal rather than the malevolent expression of a deeply disturbed individual. To survive chronic abuse a victim often diminishes the nature of such abuse and is not always able to adequately express the degree and/or intensity. Thus, “experts,” rather than basing their decisions on the likelihood of increased dynamics, miscalculate the extent of the danger exposing the victim to potential harm. I am in no way blaming the victim. I am questioning the system where children are exchanged without safety provisions for all involved. With the number of divorces occurring throughout the nation on any given day, it would seem that there would be better methods in place for diagnosing serious mental disorders as well as protecting spouses and children of those with questionable mental health issues and/or volatile behavior.

    Something needs to change within our legal system and the mental health field. The vile perpetrators need to be stopped.

    Shalom, Sharai

But I have to say that Clay Wallers ex-girlfriend just did not seem right to me. There is something about her that I don’t like..I’m not saying she is guilty of any wrongdoing, but her interview just seemed too fake..She had her lines rehearsed so much that she was running sentences together. I have lived in MO and Arkansas for many yrs, and her speech was definately too fast paced. Maybe nerves? IDK but something about her and that interview just seemed off.

    TandT, I do agree that she was rehearsed, but she was probably somewhat limited on what she could say. And speaking fast could be nerves and/or fear. After this interview, how safe are she and her kids if he is released?

    Lizzy: That interview makes me wonder what exactly a knight in shining armor is to some people..LOL!! As far as her being safe, probably not, same with Cheryl. I dont think either of them are safe if he is released. Cheryl to no fault of her own, but Cassandra, well, I feel that she has known something was not right with him for a while. I hope he stays and jail and they both are safe, but talk about some fatal attraction..sleeping around with married people is never a good idea, they usually aren’t the best type of people to start with.

    TandT, That phrase got me, too. I wondered what she needed a knight to save her from?

    Also, I read more of Clay’s history in an article a while back, and I can’t find it again. While looking, however, I did find that Jacque and Clay had been married for 17 years. I hadn’t envisioned that they had a dozen years of marriage before the triplets.
