Prosecutors respond to appeal of Waller threat sentence
By Joe Gamm ~ Southeast Missourian
April 30, 2012

Federal prosecutors have responded to Clay Waller's appeal of a five-year sentence imposed on him for a federal Internet threat conviction.

Assistant federal prosecutor Larry Ferrell responded to the appeal with a 69-page brief April 17.

Waller, 41, pleaded guilty Oct. 3 to threatening Cheryl Brenneke, his wife's sister and the guardian of his three children, on the Internet site Topix. After hearing emotional testimony from Brenneke and Ferrell's plea to significantly vary from the suggested six- to 12-month sentence, Judge Stephen Limbaugh imposed the maximum sentence of five years on Clay Waller.

In addition to sentencing him, Limbaugh said Waller more than likely murdered his wife, Jacque Waller, who has been missing since June 1.

Waller still faces the murder charge in Cape Girardeau County. A trial judge has yet to issue a writ requiring Clay Waller be returned from prison in Oakdale, La.

"With him being in federal custody, it will take a while," said Cape Girardeau County Sheriff John Jordan. "We expect to see paperwork on it in the next two to three weeks."

Jordan said he expects Waller to remain under maximum security while in county custody.

Scott Reynolds, who has represented Clay Waller in state court proceedings, said Friday he didn't have a time frame for when Waller would be brought back to Missouri.

As friends prepare tributes to Jacque Sue Waller, who went missing June 1 last year, prosecutors are trying to return her estranged husband James Clay Waller to Cape Girardeau County to face a murder charge. And Clay Waller continues the appeal of a five-year sentence for making an Internet threat against Jacque Waller's sister.

Authorities issued a murder warrant for Clay Waller on April 23, the same day he was charged with first-degree murder in connection to Jacque Waller's disappearance. Prosecutors filed a writ April 30, requesting he be transported to the county in the murder case.

"Getting any person from any prison, you have to file the proper paperwork," said Cape Girardeau County Assistant Prosecutor Angel Woodruff. "Now, it's up to the prison."

Sheriff's department spokesman Lt. David James said he is busy preparing for Clay Waller's return.

Clay Waller to make court appearance on murder charge June 4
By Shay Alderman and Melissa Miller ~ Southeast Missourian
May 20, 2012

A little more than a year after his wife's disappearance, Clay Waller will make his initial court appearance on charges that he murdered her and tampered with evidence to hide the crime.

Waller will make his initial court appearance June 4 in Jackson, Cape Girardeau County Prosecuting Attorney Morley Swingle said. He will appear in front of Circuit Court Judge Gary Kamp at the county courthouse. Swingle said the purpose of the appearance will be to determine whether Waller will have a private attorney or a public defender and to establish a date for a preliminary appearance, which usually takes place within 30 days.

Clay Waller is accused of the murder of his wife, Jacque Waller, last June. Prosecutors allege he killed his wife after the estranged couple visited a divorce lawyer June 1. Jacque Waller never showed up that day at the Ste. Genevieve, Mo., home where she had been staying since March, and her abandoned Honda Pilot was found on the side of Interstate 55. Her body hasn't been found.

In a probable-cause affidavit, investigators said Jacque Waller had documented abuse and threats from Clay Waller over several years. Investigators also said Clay Waller was uncooperative in the investigation into his wife's disappearance and gave conflicting reports of what happened.

Clay Waller has maintained his innocence since Jacque Waller's disappearance.

Scott Reynolds, who has represented Waller on other state charges, said Friday that he's not yet been retained to represent Clay Waller on the murder and tampering charges.

"I want to represent him and he wants me to represent him, but I'm not paying for it out of my pocket," Reynolds said.

He said to defend Clay Waller, he needs resources to take depositions and hire expert witnesses.

"Without adequate funds, It would be like running a mule in the Kentucky Derby," Reynolds said.

Court upholds Clay Waller's federal sentence
Sunday, August 26, 2012

A federal appeals court on Friday upheld a five-year federal prison sentence handed down to Clay Waller for making threats over the Internet to the sister of his still-missing wife, Jacque Waller.

Clay Waller faces separate state charges in Cape Girardeau County of murder and tampering with evidence in connection with Jacque Waller's disappearance June 1, 2011. In October, Clay Waller pleaded guilty to threatening Cheryl Brenneke, his wife's sister, on the Internet site Topix and later received a maximum five-year sentence from U.S. District Court Judge Stephen Limbaugh.

The district court's decision to impose a maximum sentence was partially based on suspicion that Clay Waller murdered his wife, according to court documents. Three federal court judges agreed with that decision, stating that evidence the government presented to the district court at the sentencing hearing makes the district court's findings "plausible."

Body of missing Missouri mother of triplets Jacque Sue Waller is found
May 30
The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — Nearly two years to the day after Jacque Sue Waller was last seen alive, the body of the southeast Missouri mother of young triplets has been found.

 The Cape Girardeau County prosecutor's office issued a one-paragraph statement Thursday. It said police recovered a body on Wednesday that has been confirmed as Waller.

She was 39 when she disappeared on June 1, 2011. No information was released on where the body was found, and a woman answering phones at the prosecutor's office said no further comment would be made, citing an on-going investigation.
