Clay Waller: Who? Me?

Following a ten-month investigation, the Cape Girardeau County prosecutors this morning filed first-degree murder charges against Clay Waller, the man long suspected of murdering his estranged wife, Jacque Sue Waller.

The probable cause statement issued today is the most complete telling ever of the murder investigation and a gripping and tragic read. The seven-page document (viewable below) outlines how the mother of triplets spent her last last hours before going missing and the strange and contradictory stories that 41-year-old Waller told investigators.

Prosecutors believe Waller killed his wife June 1, 2011, inside a home he was living in in Jackson, Missouri. Police investigating the house days after Jacque's disappearance found blood splatter on the walls and on a hallway carpet that Waller had hidden 50-feet into a shallow crawl space in the basement of the house.

DNA evidence taken from the carpet and walls matched Jacque's blood. The chance it belonged to anyone else is 1 in 7 quadrillion.

Clay Waller is currently serving a five-year federal sentence for threatening Jacque's sister over the Internet. The first-degree murder charge leveled at him today carries a minimum of life in prison without parole. Prosecutors are not seeking the death penalty. He's also charged with concealing her body, which has never been found, and hiding the blood-soaked carpet, which he has admitted to. Those crimes carry sentences of four years each.

There are Coleman similarities...

Mr Crotchrot

The prosecutor should reconsider and go for the electric chair just to wipe that shiteatin' grin off his face while he's being booked. Probably another ultra right wing "Christian" wacko like that Coleman piece of scum. 90% of white guys who live in rural areas or small towns who also shave their heads are dumshit right wing wackos who love guns and killing.

If he were black, the liberals would be outraged that he was being held.

Mr Crotchrot

If you had a brain, you'd be dangerous numnuts. Black men don't kill their wives because they are getting divorced you nutmuffin.

J.S.

black men dont marry the women they impregnate. so blacks only kill the women they rape.

Zing!

Self_Hating_White_Liberal

Yeah, that's right asshole! Name the last time you EVER heard of a black man killing someone! Like NEVER! You racist asshole.

Mr Crotchrot
