Episode 405: The Tragic Case of Jacque Waller

Jacque Waller was a 39-year-old, mother of triplets, who tragically disappeared on June 1, 2011, in Jackson, Missouri. She had been in the process of divorcing her estranged husband, Clay Waller, when she vanished after meeting him to finalize paperwork. Her abandoned Honda Pilot was found along Interstate 55, but Jacque was missing. Investigators suspected Clay from the beginning, but it took months before they could charge him. In April 2012, he was officially charged with first-degree murder, and later, as part of a plea deal, he led authorities to Jacque’s remains and admitted to killing her. Jacque’s case has been featured in multiple true-crime documentaries, highlighting the dangers of domestic violence and the importance of seeking help.
