| Clay Waller was last person to see his estranged wife. |
That said, police stopped short of calling Clay Waller a "suspect" in a baffling case in which authorities suspect foul play. Jacque Sue Waller, 39, vanished June 1 after stopping by her estranged husband's residence in Jackson, Missouri.
The Southeast Missourian reports that the couple got into an argument about their pending divorce. Jacque Waller had planned to file divorce paperwork in Cape Girardeau that day. Clay Waller told authorities that his wife walked away from his residence on foot after the argument. He then left the home and returned around 6 p.m. When he got back, Clay Waller says his wife's car -- a blue Honda Pilot -- was gone.
According to the Southeast Missourian, though, witnesses reported seeing Jacque Waller's car at her husband's home as late as 8:30 p.m.

"There's a period of time we don't know where the boat was or where he was, so anybody that might have seen the boat attached to the red truck after 4 p.m. Wednesday, it would be helpful to have that information," Lt. David James, commander of the Major Case Squad said.
Meanwhile, Jacque Waller's sister says that Waller was scared of her estranged husband and said he was "not stable." The sister now has custody of the Wallers' five-year-old triplets.
Clay Waller is a former Cape Girardeau County sheriff's deputy who has tried -- unsuccessfully -- to run for public office in recent years. More recently, he was a partner in a construction business that went belly up last December. He remains in the area and is reportedly in contact with police.
